| "Bush has pretty much stated that his religion and belief in god caused him to do this." Robin. This is bonkers. "Try telling that to the people of Iraq." Which ones? The ones who were cheering and whooping and slapping Saddam pictures with the soles of their shoes after the regime fell? "Their country was invaded by a Christian fundamentalist nutcase called George W. Bush" Golly. Interesting. Because the hardcore Christian fundamentalists despised Bush's muslim friendliness. ( For evidence of his muslim fanbase see here: http://muslimrepublicans.net/Article.asp?ID=163 ) For many years, it's been well known that Republican White Houses are far more Muslim-friendly than Democratic White Houses. Muslims have held this long standing belief for many years, and one needs to look no further than how each handles Muslim holidays. The one time that President Clinton mention the words "Ramadan" and "Eid" on television was in 1998 when he was discussing sending cruise missles into Baghdad and Afghanistan. He said that he didn't want to bomb Muslims on Eid, so he sent them 3 days earlier at the end of Ramadan instead. Very tactful. An early Eid present of cruise missles. Unlike previous administrations which barely mentioned Eid and Ramadan, the Bush White House held countless Iftars (break fast dinner parties) for the White House staff as well as Muslim community leaders. Previous Democratic presidents never held Iftars, and Clinton even cancelled the one Iftar which was planned due to some "political pressure" from other Democratic party supporters. "and hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered since" Er...by MUSLIM fundamentalists!! You help my argument. |
