I wholeheartedly agree with you. Earlier this year a group of high school students were asked to leave the White House for the terrible "offense" of joining hands to pray for our country. I wonder how it makes THEM feel to see the president taking part in the Muslim prayers hosted by the very same White House. There is a good discussion that has been going on here for a couple of days addressing the basics of the Islamic religion and why we should be concerned. You may want to take a look at it.

The Truth About Islam

Thanks, sweetliberty, for the link.

It does influence my view of Bush meeting with the Islamic leaders for prayer, however, this is a free country and he is president to all the people, including Muslims. It is not against the law to think and believe violent things, it is only against the law to act on it.

That said, I am not sure either that the prayer time was a wise thing to do. At the same time, the last thing we want is to really make this a war against Islam. As Christians, we can persuade, as President, Bush really cannot. Not on an issue of religion anyway. We all have a different role to play in this.

If only this weren't true...alas it isn't. It's okay to celebrate Islam, a violent hateful religion, but it's not okay to worship the God that our country is built on.

God bless our President? I am commanded to, but I don't agree with his dishonorable ways.
