"All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith -- face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It's a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It's a faith based upon love, not hate." President George W. Bush Holds Roundtable with Arab- and Muslim-American Leaders Afghanistan Embassy, Washington, D.C. September 10, 2002

Hosting a dinner celebrating the holy month of Ramadan, President George W. Bush addresses ambassadors from Islamic nations and other distinguished guests in the State Room. File photo. White House photo by Tina Hager.

Thanks.

[No Dems 2004]

I respect President Bush and I hope he wins a second term next year.

But I wish he'd shut up about this trash religion called Islam which is just a religious excuse to murder Americans, oppress women and a host of other evil, despicable things. The terrorists are the face of Islam. The President is just kidding himself.

[FITZ]

All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements.

That is going way overboard. It's one thing to wish them a quiet peaceful ramadan --- but to make up stuff about that ideology to make it look positive? ALL the world? Not many of us have benefitted from this "faith" and this is like a big slap on the face to anyone who lost someone they love on 9-11. There were Nazis who were more moderate than some I'm sure --- but we didn't have to praise that ideology.

Our current President's grandfather got himself in no small amount of hot water over his unduly friendly business dealings with Nazis. Isn't family history a funny thing?

[SwordofTruth]

Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world.

Tell that to the Christians in Southern Sudan.

[ChicagoHebrew]

"those believers built a culture of learning and literature and science. All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements."

Such as the invention of glass and... um... the suicide bomber?

[SwordofTruth]

"All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements."

The Christians that are being enslaved and murdered in Southern Sudan are not
benefiting from this hating murderous cult.

Wherever Muslims go they bring death and destruction in the name of their moon
god Allah.

It's time for people everywhere to stop calling Islam a religion and to start calling
it a Satanic cult, since it most definitely is one.

[Romulus]

As I recall, the Phoenecians (sp?) invented glass. Does that count?

[SevenDaysInMay]

Ramadamn. Read their koran and haddith, GW. Turn the other cheek yourself, but we'll defend ourselves over their dead bodies.

[Light Speed]

Just off topic a bit..but clearly a hint that things have run off the rails.
On a recent T.V. interview..experts..both American and Russian openly stated that Russia's elections are rigged.
Rigged for the Boozer...then Rigged for Pootey.

We hear the Whitehouse using the word.. Democracy,when conversations on Russia present themselves.

Now we have Ramadan education dazzling us from the Whitehouse to Troop breifings in Iraq.

Religion of Peace...The True Faith,...and Democracy when speaking of Re'al Polotik in Russia.

Today in Iraq...Democracy is evident I guess.
Iraqi's gather and muse.. "Shall we Attack the Infidel Train and Loot it..or shall we fire RPG's at Soldiers"

If you guessed Looting..you win..and know the first signs of Democracy in action in Iraq.

Hey Simcha7, It does kind of make me sad to see these men in the Whitehouse. I am still waiting for the "mainstream Muslims" to denounce the attacks on 911 and back this country of ours, but I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. So until that time comes, they do not belong in the Whitehouse.

[Simcha7]

SHALOM!

SwordofTruth,

Your statement is so Worth Repeating, here it is again...

"It's time for people everywhere to stop calling Islam a religion and to start calling it a Satanic cult, since it most definitely is one."

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

That is Exactly what ISLAM is a HUGE SATANIC CULT.

Where are ALL these ISLAMIC..."Moderates"???

Have NOT heard from any so-called "Islamic Moderates"...

Not on 9-11-01, 9-11-02 or on 9-11-03...NOT EVER have we The American People heard from any ISLAMIC adherent who came to offer an Apology to the USA or the World.

(WE ALL have heard repeated DEATH and JIHAD THREATS though!)

An Apology...Who Needs An EMPTY Apology from ISLAM?

We need to Understand our ENEMY...ISLAM IS OUR ENEMY!

And I will NEVER make any apology for standing up and saying The TRUTH!

If our Leadership in Washington, DC is so BLIND by the "ISLAM is a Religion of Peace" GARBAGE...that they can NOT See for themselves The TRUTH...then maybe WE should Elect Leaders who can SEE and UNDERSTAND what ISLAM Really IS???!

NEVER FORGET...ISLAM IS THE SEED OF AMALEK.

READ ALL ABOUT IT...Exodus 18:8-16 ORIGINAL Testament, pay close attention to Verses 14, 15, and 16!

For those who do Not have a BIBLE...here are the Verses:

"Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely eradicate the memory of Amalek from under Heaven." Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. He said, "For hands were lifted up to the throne of the LORD. The LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from Generation to Generation."

(S'hmot / Exodus 17:14-16).

AMEN ~ and ~ AMEN!

PS...Just want to make sure that We are ALL on the same page with the NAME of The LORD...THE LORD IS - The Living GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - The HOLY ONE of ISRAEL.

[Simcha7]

PING...to my post # 53.

[nonliberal]

Sick, sick, sick.

[nosofar]

Much to the dismay of many, the office of the President of the United States of America, is just that. That means ALL Americans. Every religion, even atheists, every ethnic group, pro-life, pro abortion, all the different cultures even all political party members, who have chosen the US as their home. The President is President of all US residents.

So when's the dinner to honor Satanism?

[thepizzalady]

Since you directed that question to me, I'll respond.
I have no idea whether or not you embrace Christianity or not. But I am a Christian, and I put my trust in Jesus. I also follow His example and direction, and believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God to his children. If you've read the Bible, you'd understand that satan is already conquered! And that he flees the light.

Since there are people ruled by Christ and people ruled by the world, and the world is under the control of the father of lies (satan). Those who would follow a lie or a religion formed from the falsehoods of man do so because the truth is not in them. They will follow the whims of men going to and froe having no knowledge of the truth. And they really have no other choice unless they are exposed to the truth.

Most people follow the religious beliefs in which they were raised. But God has no grandchildren, and each individual must decide on his own whether or not they will follow Him.
If an entire people has been taught from birth to hate Christians, and that it is an honorable thing to kill Jews and Christians, that is what they will believe until they discover otherwise.

Where better to shine the light of truth on a world blinded by darkness, than to invite the darkness into the presence of light?

No one would be a believer if others before them did not share the truth with an unbelieving world.

If you had been born in Iraq, you would be a muslim. How is a baby born there less deserving of a chance than anyone else to hear the truth?

Free Republic has been spreading truth and light in the darkness for many years. I used to be a democrat. I'm grateful I was not rejected because of my past.

[nosofar]

No one would be a believer if others before them did not share the truth with an unbelieving world.

I don't think these White House dinners are for the purpose of sharing truth. This is not the role of government and it doesn't do it very well, anyway. These dinners are for the political purpose of promoting the idea that the beliefs of the 'guests' are considered perfectly acceptable, if not desireable, by the incumbent and indirectly by the nation he represents. Notice that the people generally invited to these dinners are political leaders.

[thepizzalady]

"....These dinners are for the political purpose of promoting the idea that the beliefs of the 'guests' are considered perfectly acceptable, if not desirable, by the incumbent and indirectly by the nation he represents. ...."

There are people from every walk of life who call the United States their home, Exactly because every belief system IS accepted. Every ethnic group, race, color, and religion. You or I may not agree with the religious beliefs of others, but they have a right to be here if they are here legally. Which also means obeying the laws of this country. Are we to pretend they don't exist?


There are many citizens who don't obey our laws and they then face the justice system. Some of those whose ancestors have been around for generations.

My grandparents were immigrants. There were many people born here who thought THEY should go back where they came from.

You say "these dinners are for political purposes for promoting the idea that the beliefs of the 'guests' are considered perfectly acceptable" "sharing the truth is not the roll of the government"

Excuse me, but the truth is the truth is the truth. It is not something you put on and take off, the truth is who you are. I don't divorce myself from the truth when I meet with non-believers.

Do you believe that all men are created equal? Or are some people more equal than others?

So what does this have to do with dinners in the Whitehouse? There can't be Whitehouse dinners for every different group. There are only 365 days in a year. What groups get insulted by either not having a dinner or having to share with another group?

My grandparents were immigrants. There were many people born here who thought THEY should go back where they came from.

Most of us had ancestors who were immigrants. So what? This also has nothing to do with Whitehouse dinners.

Excuse me, but the truth is the truth is the truth. It is not something you put on and take off, the truth is who you are. I don't divorce myself from the truth when I meet with non-believers.

You are claiming that it's a good thing for the Whitehouse to hold dinners for all these different religious, and apparently non-religious, groups. This has nothing to do with you divorcing yourself from anything. Perhaps you're the one who should be holding these dinners instead of the Whitehouse.
