THE PRESIDENT: Please be seated. Thank you. Welcome to the White House. This is the fifth year in a row that it's been my honor to host an Iftaar in the State Dining Room.
Our distinguished guests represent the millions of Muslims that we're proud to call Americans, and many Islamic nations are represented here that America is proud to call friend. We welcome the representatives from many countries with large Muslim populations. I want to thank you all for coming to celebrate an honored tradition of the Muslim faith, and wish you a, "Ramadan Mubarak." I want to thank those in my administration who have joined us. I want to thank the Imam for joining us today, and thank you for leading us in prayer after these short remarks. I want to thank all the ambassadors from the Organization of the Islamic Conference. I welcome other members of the Diplomatic Corps. And I want to thank the Muslim -- American Muslim leaders who are with us today. Thanks for taking time out to celebrate this important dinner.
Ramadan is the holiest time of the Muslim year. According to Islamic teaching, this month commemorates the revelation of God's word to the Prophet Muhammad in the form of the Koran. For more than a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of heartfelt prayer and togetherness. It is a time of fasting and personal sacrifice. It's a time to give thanks for God's blessings through works of charity.
One Muslim leader said: "It's a national and Islamic obligation to assist one's neighbors when they are in need." The American people saw that spirit as we recovered from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The world sees that spirit, that compassion of Islam, through the countless acts of kindness following the recent

I predict it will be 8 cities that will have a dirty bomb go off, OR have major buildings attacked by bombs or planes....and I'm sticking to that.
"Fine you have nothing to add!"
Why would I want to "add" to your stupidity ..??
Have YOU read INFILTRATION by Paul Sperry? I'm near the end of it.....and I'm NOT in a mood to much cater to anyone who denounces the US so blatantly.
Amen! I was just reading about King Saul again last night. It totally ruined his life! His wives had false gods and when he allowed them into his life, it brought him down. Bush has given the false god, (Allah) an open door into our government. It's things like this that make me wonder if Bush is really a Christian. He goes through the motions but this is just like him forcing Israel to give up land to the Palestinians. IF he had read his Bible, he would have KNOWN not to make either of these foolish mistakes.
Roger ~ that says it all!
Thanks for the research!
It is devastating in it's indictment of Islam as it's author chronicles the 1300 years of Muslim lying, hating, murdering, and plans of...conquest.
Also chronicled is the disturbing conspiracy of ALL countries -- oddly enough, including America (get the lowdown on the USS Liberty) -- to marginalize Israel since 1948, while propping up terrorist regimes like the bogus PLO....
Just as a reminder, one of the greatest murderers in history -- the vicious Yassir Arafat -- was actually awarded a Nobel "Peace Prize."
As to Dubya Bush's speech in addressing his "honored guests," it was despicable.
This man truly is clueless.
It's a big, big difference. Culture is religion externalized and made specific; the ideas America was founded on based in Biblical truth.
Every country where Islam has dominance is marked by tyranny, corruption, and misery, thus the flood of Muslim immigrants in recent decades to the Western world as they try to escape the cultural failure which is rooted in the oppression of Islam and the Koran.
We are in a war; a war of ideas that sets truth against error and Biblical and Koranic worldviews. Islam has said it will prevail, either through persuasion, or ultimately by force. I, for one, will not live under this tyranny.
President Bushor any other American leaderacquiescing to Islamic demands for equality in the American cultural arena, revealed by this adding a Koran to the White House library, signifies once again how we are slowly losing in this critical war of ideas.
So we should certainly pray for him and the Administration. Ultimately, America's salvation rests in her Christian pulpits. Evangelical Christian pastors and teachers should be earnestly "contending for the faith," and witnessing to Muslims of their error by professional preaching of the Gospel, and critical review of the Koran.
David Jonsson's recent work, "The Clash of Ideologies: The Making Of The Christian and Islamic Worlds," goes into this in exhaustive detail. I recommend it.
Well .. since you brought your rooting section with you .. I guess you don't need me.
"...To sleep, to dream. Ay, there's the rub."
I'm ready to hurl right after you. Is President Bush so naive as to be dangerous or is he playing a game of deception? I don't know. All I know is this little speech made me sick!! You cannot befriend the Devil. He hates us and wants to destroy us. GWB is supposed to be a Christian. IF he is, he should know that.
I'm left really sort of speechless!!
Yikes, you are deceived. Fact is Islamics are not going to EVER be changed at all and certainly not to Christians minus a very very few. Those who become Christians are in peril for their very lives for the rest of their lives.
