This is stupid. Arabic-speaking Christians pray to “Allah” which means God in Arabic. Muslims are mistaken about certain attributes of God, but correct about others; when they pray to the Creator of the Universe under the name of “Allah”, He doesn’t fail to notice.
Jews don’t believe Jesus was God either. Is the author saying Jews don’t worship the same God Christians do, because they don’t have a perfect set of theological doctrines?
What about those Christians who fail to agree with him on every point of theology? Does he worship the same God they do?
Yes, Islam is radically different from Christianity; but a failure to understand God pefectly is not the same thing as a failure to IDENTIFY him. They address the same Person Abraham addressed; He may well regard their worship as misguided, imperfect, or degraded, but it’s not like they’re worshipping Baal or Satan!
Well Bush is WRONG. Terrorists are very devout Muslims. Bush just can't seen to understand that, because he has never studied what Islam is, and what it teaches.
"I believe in an almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God.
It may be what you believe, Bush, but again you are WRONG. "allah" the name of the Islamic god (ilah) is the exact opposite of the Christian God, Yahweh, who is a loving God.
Allah hates, and especially hates God's chosen people. Muslims believe it's Allah's command that they kill them wherever they find them.
Allah is Satan. Only Satan would want to destroy God's children.
Spot on article - President Bush is treading on dangerous ground here and needs to be firmly rebuked by Christians in this matter.
HE may pray to the same god of the muzzies, but I certainly don’t.
I am not associated with the site in any way, but I have often found this to be a somewhat useful reference and I am just passing that information along.
Mr. Bush is technically correct, in a Clintonesque sort of way - since there really is only 1 God, when anyone prays to any deity, by definition that 1 God is the only one who hears the prayer. Doesn’t mean He listens or responds....
My God says “Thou shalt not murder.” He does not say “except that you may murder and enslave infidels.” With regard to murder and kidnap-slavery, my God says you will not forgive these sins but those who commit these acts will be put to death. But, my God has provided a path to salvation for everyone, even including murderers and slavers, who trust in the character of God’s Mercy (usually translated as, “confess on the name of Jesus”). So even at the execution of the heinous criminal, we pray for the salvation of the sinner’s immortal soul. The current Pope in thinking what we Christians have that is unique, that we offer to all people of good will, said it is Jesus. It is the personal relationship we have with God through his son.

This President doesn’t get it when it comes to Muslims.
Just like Roosevelt/Truman didn’t get it when it came to Commies.
What Christians is he talking about??? Do we have Christians who are engaging in violence on a world-wide scope?
I believe the God that the Muslim prays to is the same God that I pray to.
And I believe that Bush's moronity emboldens them.
Guess Bush could have said: Actually I worship the true and loving God and Muslims worship a twisted, hatefully violent false god who is really Satan in disguise. Now, we need the help of moderate Muslim countries to join with us in fighting terrorism. Any takers?
