You should be ashamed, propagating something like that. George Washington didn't say it. It was taken from the verbiage of the Treaty of Tripoli. Interesting history considering the similiaritites with the problems faced then when compared to the problems with Muhammedans now. Politicians have changed little in 200 years.

Good point, if you believe 'government' and 'nation' are synonymous.

The full text is as follows. Reminds me modern attempts to appease Muslims.

"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion as it has in itself no character of enmity [hatred] against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] and as the said States [America] have never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
