"Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is
the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is
it the one who believes differently than we do -- oh, no, my friends.
The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who
tells you you must hate that which is different. Because in the end
that hate will turn on you, and in the end that same hate will destroy
you." -- "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place," Babylon 5
