"But Tutt, board president of Austin Area Interreligious Ministries, which includes Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and Christians, balked at the perception that Bush is the only choice for people of faith.

"As I read the Scriptures and as I understand faith, God's side is the group that's feeding the poor, caring about children, making sure that people have enough food to eat - not killing others," said Tutt, who opposes the war in Iraq.

As one from Austin, I take offense. When Tutt as a supporter of Muslims condemns terrorism, then he'll have the moral authority to speak. But he hasn't. He can talk all he wants about feeding the poor and caring about children. But he doesn't have a darned thing to say about the murders of terrorists and those very fine Muslim folks that will strap a bomb on a child to blow up a bus. What a crock.
