This is SO very sad. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on some things, but this clearly shows a man of NO faith in the Christian sense.
Is this freaking guy for real?
What little respect I had left for junior is now completely gone. What a disgrace.
How can a guy be so right on the war on terror and be so wrong about this?Allah is Satan Mr.President,try to understand that one simple truth.

I am very glad we got Bush instead of Kerry, but dang. Bush can be a real idiot at times.....this is one of them.
Allah commands his minions to kill and die, to enslave and plunder, and to wreak vengeance and havoc for him.
Yahweh God came to Earth as Yahshua to die for us.
NOT the same God.
No they don’t!
The Islamic god is a god of blood and death.
The Jewish god is a god of revenge.
My God is a god of foregiveness and being non judgemental.
The President is a dangerous man...He is a danger to Christians...
SO a just God completely ignores the prayers of a billion people in the world because their understanding of just who and what he is, is completely messed up? I am not a Muslim but I am just asking is that what Scripture says and this is your God?
What a moron.
Methinks Bush was just uttering what the audience wanted to hear... the audience being the Arab public.
It is incumbent upon the President on the united States to serve and protect people of all faiths, and to enjoin the unity guaranteed by our Constitution. We pray for him and all our leaders, and give him the benefit of the doubt just as we would our neighbors. But we need not accept his notion that all major religions "pray to the same God."
It is one thing to claim exclusivity when it comes to addressing God. It is another to do so by threats and violence. Remember what befell John the Baptist who merely spoke the truth. The same thing may happen to those who speak truly of God today.
Fortunately this world is passing, and we look for the life of the world to come through Christ Jesus, Who is risen from the dead and lives and rules to all eternity on behalf of all who belive in His Name.
The piece uses a disgraced Christian leader to make an argument.
The media is getting so transparently propagandized, one can’t believe anything journalists say or write.
Bush needs to step down and turn the presidency over to Cheney. He favors Mexicans over Americans (besides his amnesty proposals for the millions of illegals, he is siding with Mexico on the Medillin case in Texas, where an illegal from Mexico - Medillin - and his gang-banging buds gang-raped and murdered two young teenage girls, a crime for which he was convicted and sentenced to execution. Mexico, of course, opposes the execution, and complained, and Bush is agreeing with Mexico and wants the perv’s execution stopped and maybe even have him granted a new trial!). That, and his stubborn insistence that islam means “peace” (it does not, it means “submission”) and that the god of islam is the same God as Christianity and Judaism just shows that he has lost all contact with reality and thus has forfeited his privilege to serve as our president. I like the guy, personally, and I’m sure he’d be fun to chat with and bike with, but he has blown it as president.
If that's the case, then why is it that those praying to Allah want to exterminate the chosen people of Yahweh?
Is God schizophrenic?
Bush jumped the shark. Moderate Muslims lay low because they know Jihadists keep a little black book, and the more we give in to Islam, the less likely that moderate Muslims will ever speak up. (We may believe in the dubious merits of multiculturalism, but they don’t.) “Me? Moderate? Never. Gimme that suicide vest. I’ll help strap it on my daughter.”
This is “Moderate” talk, and it is exactly what
you get from “Moderates.” This is where Bush goes
completely wrong in his stance. It is the stance of
the Methodist church to which he belongs.
This is a repeat of a previous statement. “W” was without oxygen for longer than we were told when he choked on the pretzel while on vacation in Crawford.
He must have lost a massive amount of brain cells to have made such an uninformed statement and to have conducted himself the way he has since the incident.
I have never believed the man was saved, this proves it.
He is a phony that played the Conservative Christians for fools.
He is either Biblically ignorant or he just is not a Christian.
And I would say that comment proves both are true.
It is however, an islamic act. Even if the Oklahoma city bomber was "Christian" that's one "Christian bombing" against thousands of Islamic bombings, shooting, shelling, and rocketing. There is no comparison except for propaganda purposes, Mr. President. Let's try a new track, Mr. President, speaking the truth. Let's try it for a month and see what happens.
Bush is a clueless dolt. The guy doesn't have any principles. If he read the Koran, he'd know that it preaches "peace" as a stalling tactic for only so long as it takes to build up your forces and acquire superior weapons.
Bush has been a great let-down. I'm glad I did not vote for him in 2004. If it had not been for the Swift Boat Vets, there would have been a Kerry victory.
I'm not sure Bush is "right" on the war on terror. I think maybe that Bush is giving his rabid "kill em all" supporters what they want in order to distract them from him giving his Mexican masters the control they want over the United States.
This isn't the first time he's displayed his ignorance when it comes to understanding global norms, customs and soevereignty. His vision for a "new America" began years ago.
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
Mr. President, how many people did Jesus Christ kill and rape during his time on earth? How many times did Jesus Christ CONTRADICT himself or the Old Testament? Jesus dies for all men and Mohammad kills all men who will not kneel to his version of the truth and YOU think these serve the same God?
Islam is not a religion in the accepted sense of the word. It is a geopolitical ideology posing as a religion in order to be covered by consitutional protections here in the US while it seeks to undermine and defeat us.
uumm, I'm not going to say anything that will get me zotted but...
I think President Bush is misinformed.
This is a kind of a "the Earth is flat" statement. And it does, in a Liberal sense, "equate". That is, all religions are equal, all people are equal, all countries and cultures are equal, everything everywhere is equal. All religions are equal. It is all about 'equality' and moral equivilancy.
GW has flipped. In some areas he is more of a classic 'Liberal' than Hillary or Pelosi.
Yeah sure Jorge. And all Texans drink Lone Star.
Mr. President. May I suggest you read the Koran in its entirety and then come back and say that, “Islam is a religion of peace”.
As requested by the Bush administration, the high court will hear arguments in the fall on the case of Jose Medellin to escape execution…because he was denied a chance to get legal assistance from the Mexican Consulate.
The Mexican citizen was sent to Texas’ death row in the notorious 1993 rape-murder case…Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said the Republican president had overstepped his authority in ordering the state court reviews.
(Hey Bush, why don’t you fight that hard for Ramos, Compean, & Hernandez? I have never seen such blatant unfairness in my life.)
If there really is only one God, I agree.
It seems that GW is taking some very weird action or position every couple days now, or making some inexplicable statement......and it's becoming rather scary.
The next presidential election can't come quickly enough for me.

Being from Texas, I hate to say this but Bush has proven himself to be a total fraud. This ridiculous statement, wide open Borders, persecution of LEO’s on the Border such as Ramos and Compean, the NAU, suing the State of Texas to halt the execution of a viscious killer to uphold a decision of the so-called “Internation Court of Justice, the PC conduct of the War and a host of other policies are evidense of what a fraud he really is.

I’m sorry, but if what you said were true, we would have a lot more problems than we do. There are over 1 Billion muslims.
I have a big problem fighting over "theology" killing people because they believe something different about God including disbelief.
The President is absolutely right to keep the "war on terror" from becoming a war about religion.
That is heresy.
Jorge needs to retire to Crawford ASAP. His frontotemporal lobar degeneration is getting worse.
This is so unlikely that I question the source. I’m not buying the story, al Arabya. I think you’re as dependable as Dan Rather. Are you related?
Mr. President, if you wish to pray to Satan (aka the demon calling itself ‘allah’) you are free to do so.
As for me and my house, we will serve the One True God, manifested in human form as Jesus Christ, Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and NOBODY goes to the Father (not even you sir) except by HIM.
Remember that on Judgment Day.
The Hindus have many gods so are these the same God I pray to?NO!
This is such a PC/mush statement made by our president and I wonder if this is from an un-rehearsed speach that he just read without thinking.
While I agree that there is only one God, I am less convinced that the Muslim view of God has anything to do with the universal concept of doing good in the world as homage to an all good and loving God. Western civilization, based on Judeo-Christian values, has evolved a world view that individual freedom ,including the freedom of belief and tolerance, is a God given right. The Muslim view that it is a duty to convert the whole world to Islam runs very contrary to that concept.
The whole statement is an OXY-MORON.
Jesus in the Antithesis of Mohammed.
McVeigh professed to be an agnostic, not Christian. When he was about to be executed, he hedged his bets and allowed a priest to see him, but that’s about it. Only God knows where he is now.
This level of pandering is absolutely reprehensible.
this must include the communists of the USSR...
The difference is much bigger, but American Muslims may liberalize Muslimism the way American Catholics liberalized Catholicism.
Through the 19th Century and into the 20th, the popes thought to equally condemn atheistic communism and secular liberalism; e.g., protestant northern Europeans. But, in the 20th Century, and largely because of the American bishops, the popes came to see that democratic and capitalistic values could co-exist with Christian values although we must always also affirm the values of equal rights (including the right to life), the family, and charity for the poor. Nowadays, conservative protestants and Catholics in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world often find themselves allied in promoting Christian values.
The violence of radical Muslims is clearly worse than the violence than was ever involved in the conflict in western Christianity. It is somewhere between that level of violence and the level of violence of atheistic totalitarians like Hitler, Stalin and Mao; and, radical Muslim violence may rise to the level of violence of Hitlet et al depending on the success of the radicals in restoring the Caliphate. So, the challenge to moderate Muslims, to suppress the violence of their co-religionists, is enormous. But, if moderate Muslims can do this, it would be a great service to all mankind.
I have thought about the promise that God has given to us, that Jesus will return and establish his kingdom. The Bible says when he returns, God’s Name will be one, meaning that all the people of the world will know God’s character. Implicit in this, is that God’s Name will not be one until Jesus returns. So, wanting Jesus to return, and to return now, I have accepted that until he does, we who seek to know God are going to have to live with others seeking to know God who differ from us.
Only an ignoramus or a propagandist can say they worship the same God. Sadly in this instance because Bush has not taken time to study islam on his own he is easy prey for lies.
I think there is a hidden side to religions. that hidden side was very commonly referred to as the “Mysteries” in ancient religions and Christianity had its own “mysteries”. They unite the religions as coming form a single source. There was a face for the religion for the masses and a secret side for the illumined.
That being said there are two religions that do not seem to have it in their scriptures. One of them is the Mormons and the other one is Islam. There is also another point that if a group soul of a religion becomes poisoned with hate and violence it will bring down the religion. For those reasons I am very dubious of Islam. With a war on terrorism I can understand Bush’s sucking up to Islamites so we can get what Little help we can get (we need it). But it is up to US to tell the truth about Islam.
No, Jorge, the don’t.
Wrong.
Again.
