That is not the issue..We can pray to the God of the Bible for peace for their families..and they can pray to their God together.. Doesn't the Bible tell us not to let false teachers over our thresholds? We honor their gods by pretending that their god is equal to theirs.
This was intended to be a "prayer ' service. If it was a memorial it could have been held in a public facility with Memorial statements . This was a bone that GWB was throwing at the Muslims in hopes of getting their support here at home. It was a sweet justice that the Muslim Cleric that Bush picked was found later to have ties and to send money to the terrorists . God saw to it that Bush was embarrassed for trying to use God for political purposes..God is not a toll in the hand of any man
