I wish for a "beautiful and peaceful" mushroom cloud consuming all of Islam.

Let's give him credit for subtlety, shall we? After all, we're trying to keep about a billion Moslems in our corner, and isolate the dirtbags.

Cunning like a fox.

I think he's just accepting that some Muslims are not following their Koran completely and are good people who can live with infidels without killing them. I don't think anyone can really look at whats going on in Indonesia, the Sudan, Nigeria, India, Israel, and now the USA and believe the religion itself is very beautiful. You could probably do some heavy editing of the Koran and make it a much thinner but nice enough book.

What did you make of Bush's 2 references to "women of cover?" I had never heard the term before.

If the misogyny is the reason for the "covering" of women, why should we respect that "covering?" Bush was probably making an effort to communicate with American Muslims sympathetically but theres an essential dishonesty to view it as just another kind of tradition if it is in reality the root of this evil.

Naive -- possibly. But I believe he's just caving in to political correctness.
