Bush Takes on Christian Right Over Anti-Islam Words

The vast majority of Muslim terrorists are of Arabic/Mid-east descent....100% of the Arabs are human....humans are terrorists.....What you said really doesn't mean anything.

[joyful1]

Unless and until masses of "main-stream" (if there is such a thing) Muslims demonstrate and protest against militant Islam, today's prophets Falwell and Robertson prove correct.

If Isaiah were alive today, he'd be sued.

"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.

Well, this American (not in the so-called vast majority) respects all people - but none for being Islamic; has no respect for the Muslim faith; and thinks that most Islamic people worldwide sympathyze with the terrorists and the ones with money finance the terrorists. You have to know who your enemies are to love them. Pluralism is even more dangerous than Islam.

ISLAM is a religion of peace!
ISLAM is a religion of peace!
ISLAM is a religion of peace!

While I agree with many Christian leaders that Islam is a gutter religion bent on violence and world dominance, I do not believe that should be the official policy of the United States...a nation founded on religious freedom.

This is a difficult position to sustain, especially in the face of so much Muslim-authored death and destruction -- but it's the right one. Thanks for this concise articulation. I should remind myself of it from time to time.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

I am astounded he did not rile against anti-Americanism in general and against muslims and CAIR and other liberals who rile against Christians.

Whatsuhproblem?

[stuartcr]

You fail to understand that rising up and denouncing, are not inherent human traits, They are traits that can be attributed to those western countries that are basically democratic, and have been for a long time. The majority of Muslims do not live in these countries. You should not assume that everyone in the world should be like you want them to be.

[MissAmericanPie]

Anyone who adheres to the Quaran has already outted themselves as an extremist, plain and simple. What does it matter what the "majority" of Americans think of Islam? Most Americans don't educate themselves about much in the first place to know why they think this or that in the second place.

Would it matter that the "majority" believes fire isn't hot if the truth is, that fire is hot? It's a lame claim given the evidence.

[Gurn]

Let me try it this way: Can you name another religious group that has murdered 3,000 Americans in one lick? Or taken over a Moscow theatre? Or blown up an American ship? Or blew up the WTC in '93? Or blew up the Marine Barracks?

Islam is evil. Its followers are wicked murderers, and they are the enemy of our country.

Oh, what religion was the Beltway sniper?

[stuartcr]

How do you explain the millions of Muslims that do not condone the violence? Has it ever occurred to you that it may very well be a political agenda, using the Koran as a rallying device, and a means to manipulate people?

[ewing]

Johnny Mohammad was a murdering Islamokazi/Facist? Imagine that!

If I had only believed the mainstream media that told me he was a gun nut and ex-military.

[Prodigal Son]

Oh, what religion was the Beltway sniper?

Timothy McVeigh was a Muslim too wasn't he?

[Prodigal Son]

If I had only believed the mainstream media that told me he was a gun nut and ex-military.

That turned out to be the case did it not? Ex-military. Liked to play with guns, lots of target shooting...

[TLBSHOW]

Send Bush a email and protest his treatment of christian leaders that speak truth! Islam is evil and a cult and must be banned!

[Always Right]

Because Christianity and a God none other than theirs is the enemy. American, England are not muslim nations and therefore are enemies.

You could say the same thing about liberals, but rounding them up and jailing them isn't what America is about.

[galt-jw]

what a courageous little man! after the election, here rides gorgeous george to ridicule his supporters.

thank you, klintoon playbook...

hahahahahahahaha.

[TLBSHOW]

what we will need is all conservative writers and christians that work for the internet sites and the media to tell the truth Islam is the Enemy! Day after day til they get it! Islam must be stopped or we are going to all die because of it and our leaders idiotic remarks that it is Peace! BS it is......

[galt-jw]

you spilled your kool aid.

[Gurn]

How do you explain the millions of Muslims that do not condone the violence?

I don't care. It doesn't matter. Where are the voices of these alleged "millions of Muslims"? The silence is overpowering.

All we hear from those "Muslims who don't condone violence" is talk about anti-Muslim bigotry.

Which religion is at war with the rest of the world right now? Which religion is the source of the vast majority of violence and mayhem in the world? Answer the question.

[Prodigal Son]

Now hold on. I am an American. Born and bred. Are people on this thread trying to tell me that if I converted to Islam I should be banned from the country of my birth? Or what exactly?

[Marysecretary]

Nah, he was Catholic. I think he had Muslim help, though.
