Seems to me the guy was a bit of a flake...could it be that he truly fell for the "RoP" and "we all worship the same God" lines, and then didn't really think he was doing anything wrong?

Difficult to say. When he was elected here, I'm sure I voted for him. GOP nominee. Electable. Lesser of the two evils and all that shit.

Guess that makes me ... Well, just fill in the rest with any personal insult in the first 33% of this thread.

Check out his remarks at Oxford (PDF). They explain a lot!

(Source page: http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/regents/news.htm)

For example, an excerpt...

“Do these same witnesses to the One God also believe in the last days and the prophets of Allah?” The Sheikh wondered.

I told him many if not most (Christians) not only accept the “witness” and the prophets and last days, but moreover would additionally believe in a broad sense, in the other four Pillars of Islam: 1) Salat, regular prayer; 2) Zakah, giving to the poor; 3) Siym, fasting; 4) Hajj, pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

I will never forget his look as he declared, “This is revolutionary.”

The question arises whom Islam considers as “infidels.” The militants argue that non-Muslims are infidels and therefore, worthy of death. Kafers (infidels) are those who do not accept the Shahadah.

Think of it, if those who follow Torah and Gospels would witness and believe in their hearts that God is one, could they be removed from the list of who are considered as “infidels”? This new common ground can help undercut the radical’s message of hate and their view of the glory of martyrdom through killing of infidels.
It seems very clear that he does believe "Allah" is who Christians worship.

He seems to be rather fanatical and "I've got the answer" in his past, and now it seems that he fervently believes that he has found the key to reconciliation between Islam and Judeo-Christianity.
