I knew George Bush was in on some type of whitewash when he said “Islam is a Religion of Peace” right after the Twin Towers were distroyed! That statement alone is stupid at best and gaslighting at worst. (I never believed anything he said after that.). But he started the national excusing of Islam with that statement. After 911 we could have made a start on getting rid of the terrorists in our country, but no, he thought up pat down of citizens in the airports as his solution. The years that have gone by show just how egregious it all was.
You are so right.
