Ahem..."Lighting" the White House Christmas Tree, a pagan symbol of "life," is hardly a religious observation as is the Menorah Lighting, while Dubya clearly praised the tenets of Islam as a religion.
But here's a suggestion to Dubya: If you can praise Islam as the "Religion of Peace," you shouldn't have much of a problem praising 'Christianity' as the "Religion of the Truth and the Light.
I trust that since you believe that the Christmas tree is still pagan and therefore non-Christian, that you do not have one in your home.
And for your information, I do not believe that Islam is anything but a false religion. I am a Christian who believes in salvation through Christ.
However, I do not expect that the President should state so from his position as leader of all of America. He is the President of Muslim and Jewish Americans as well as my President, and yours.
