Islam is a cult and false religion. For President Bush to make a statement as this is a slap in the face to many citizens of the respective states who are ChristianIt's not a "slap" to Roman Catholics. Lumen Gentium, the "Dogmatic Constitution of the Church" recognizes Islam as believing in the same God as Christians. Pope John Paul II has also reiterated this point on numerous occasions.

Well contrary to some opinions, the Pope can be wrong. In this instance he is. Islam is a cult
So Bishop Curry, any ex cathedra pronouncements that the Pope is blaspheming, too?!
