"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans," Bush told reporters as he began a meeting with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

"By far, the vast majority of American citizens respect the Islamic people and the Muslim faith. After all, there are millions of peaceful-loving Muslim Americans," Bush said.

I'm willing to say that on the national and international stage the President speaks for me...except on this issue. Where the evil religion is concerned he seems to have blinders on. I don't blame him for not wanting to pick a fight with all the muslims in the world just now...not yet at least...but there's no point in him picking a fight with Christians either.

"Adolf Hitler was bad, but what the Muslims want to do to the Jews is worse."

I don't see anything untruthful in that statement. Bush is wrong here.

Each has role in this. Bush needs to convey the level headed image while others are free to lauch the challenges of the islam faith. Also, if you look closely at what Bush is quoted as saying he doesn't denounce what the Christian right said.

Mr. President, with all due respect, you're either with us or against us.
