The White House has issued President Bush's annual greeting to Muslims around the world who will observe the holy month of Ramadan.
In his message, President Bush says Islam is a peaceful religion that has helped shape the character of the United States, and has made great contributions to the world.
Mr. Bush said Americans cherish the freedom to worship and, he said, "we remain committed to welcoming individuals of all religions."
During Ramadan, President Bush said Muslims fast, pray, contemplate and renew their commitment to lead lives of honesty, integrity and compassion.

Then you would be in complete agreement with the Department of Defense, a lot of commanding officers and a lot of peers of Muslim American's in uniform. As I said, subtleties escape some people.
My whole point is that in order to respect and trust a fellow soldier, I do not need to know he's muslim; or presbytarian. Or anything.
If he insists on telling me, or if I pick it up from his hatred of Jews, he's outta here.

You can repeat your brainless mantra - "Islam is a reglion of peace" - until you're blue in the face and it won't make it so. Islam is the cancer of the world, and one that only mass amounts of radiation will cure. The war has just begun, however, so taking the drastic step of booting all Muslims out of the military won't happen anytime soon. But make no mistake, that step is an inevitability.

You know full well that if you spouted this garbage to anyone of Ft. Lewis they would hand in major portions of your anatomy in just a few simple seconds.Maybe because...
Fort Lewis is where the DC sniper and grenade-in-the-tent-fragger, muhammad, was from?
Fort Lewis - where the Gitmo muslim terrorist and spy Army Capt. Yousef Yee was stationed?
The sooner muslim terrorists are out of the military, the safer we all will be. Get rid of every last freaking muslim TODAY!

Yeah. Okay. Whatever. This ridiculous pandering makes me sick. As far as I'm concerned George W. Bush is a traitor to the United States and to its citizens.

The have the same support as their Christian, Jewish and atheist comrades who are loyal, faithful Americans. But I don't expect the president to blow smoke up our asses regarding them either. As to the Muslims in the rest of the world, those who bear us no ill will can pray to rocks for all I care, to those, and they are numerous who wish us evil I like the words of Tacitus:
Let them Hate so long as they Fear.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.
BTW, it's funny how all those left-wing, radical, peacenick, anti-war,
anti-nuke hippies have YET to protest in front of the UN against North Korea, Pakistan or Iran for THOSE nations acquiring nuclear weapons.
Seems that for most shabby Marxists, only AMERICA is a threat to the world while North Korea, Iran and Pakistan (which just recently agreed to provide nukes to Saudi Arabia) get a free pass for acquiring or (in the case of Iran) trying to acquire nukes.

I would love to be able to point to their patriotism, just not seeing much. While these aren't Americans, the article does indicate that not all Muslims are fundamentalists nor are they happy with the current status quo in Muslim countries:

These fellows were behind the big protests in Saudi the other day. They are working towards the downfall of the Saudi monarchy.
