While I disagree with Bush's assesment of the nature ofIslam, I have no problem with his claim - even assuming it's true - that the administration policy is not one of "War on Islam"

Bush claims to be a Christian, but doesn't act like it in many instances. He is ignorant of Islam, and we are at war with Islam. Wahabbi Islam is TRUE Islam according to the Koran and Hadith. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. I will thank Bush to refrain from theological statements (i.e. "Islam is peace"). Baloney! History tells a different story! Many muslims are peaceful but Islam isn't and never has been. It was violent and bloody when it started the first crusade and took over Palestine and usurped all the Jewish holy sites; it was violent and bloody when it invaded Europe and was stopped dead at the battles of Tours and Vienna; it was violent and bloodthirsty when it sacked Constantinople in 1453. It's founder was a warmongering murderer. Let the facts speak for themselves. Islam is intolerant and wherever it holds sway, there is SLAVERY! It is satanic and it must be subdued BY FORCE. I agree wtih Dr. Robert Morey that the best way to end terrorism is to take out Mecca.

You are, of course, quuite right in what you say.

But I caution that if you expect THAT level ofdiscernment - and the cajones to act upon it - from any politician which is electable in this day and age then - well - you are far more optimistic than I.
