Interesting:

The West was thrilled March 26, 1979 when President Carter hosted the signing of a "peace treaty" by Israel’s Menachem Begin and Egypt’s Anwar Sadat. Carter wanted to quote one verse each from the Bible and the Qur’an about peace. There are some 400 such verses in the Bible, but his speech writers could find only one in the Qur’an.
Carter declared: "In the Koran, we read: ‘But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou also incline towards peace, and trust in God...’ [Surah 8:61]. So let us now lay aside war....We pray God...that these dreams will come true."
Islam’s "dream," however, is not what Carter and Israel envisioned. The verse says "Allah," not God --
