“[A]ll the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God.” – President Bush<\/em><\/p>\n

\nOctober 7, 2007<\/strong>
\nPresident George Bush has repeated his belief all religions, “whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God” – an assertion that caused outrage among evangelical leaders when he said it in November 2003.<\/p>\n

Bush made the statement Friday in an interview with Al Arabiya reporter Elie Nakouzi. [see White House website for transcript of interview<\/span><\/strong><\/a>]<\/p>\n

In other words, they’ve spread the word that this really isn’t peaceful people versus radical people or terrorists, this is really about the America not liking Islam.<\/p>\n

I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace. Click here to read entire WorldNetDaily report. <\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
