It doesn't have anything to do with my "tender sensibilities," but with political realities. I do NOT want to be known as the party that hates Islam. I don't think I'm alone.

Have you actually LISTENED to what Pres. Bush has been saying?

Of course I have. And his statements about Islam being a religion of peace are laughable...I can understand why he might make them for political reasons, but they are widely ridiculed nonetheless...and rightfully so...the claim is ridiculous.

Too bad. You are part of a COUNTRY that now hates Islam. Live with it.

There's nothing wrong with hating Islam. What we are called to do is to love all Muslims while hating their evil ideology.
