than why does Bush say Islam is a religion of peace...I don't even say that.....I just defended moderate Muslims that speak out if you read my posts.....not the Muslim face in general.....must mean that I'm much smarter than our Pres about this kind of stuff along with all the other political pumdits........Bush must be an idiot huh?
Politicians take the doable approach. The truth very rarely enters into the equation. If Bush advocated taking on Islam, how many people would agree? Incrementalism is the stepstone of politics. I am not a politician. I can speak my mind and still keep my job because my opinions are not connected to my job. The truth speaks for itself, this article is the first I have seen in the 3 1/2 years since 9/11 that has Muslims saying anything denouncing 9/11. You explain that to me. Especially when the Koran says that it is desirable to lie to the enemy of Islam about it's true intentions.
Bush may believe that there are "moderate" Muslims or he may be buying time for those who don't see the danger or some other reason none of us are aware of. Who is to say. All I am saying is that you need to hear what the Muslims have to say when they think you can't understand them. I think you should get some transcribed sermons from some good sources. Look it up, do some research, it will be a real eye opener
