<font color=brown>Ten, how is this American general's comments any better than the Malaysian PM's? In addition to the comments below, he has suggested that God intervened in the 2000 presidential election and got Bush put into power.<font color=black>

General: We're in a 'Spiritual Battle'
Says 'Christian army' fights Satan, Muslims worship 'idol'

October 17, 2003

Washington - A three-star general active in the search for Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein has told religious audiences that the war on terrorism is a battle between a "Christian army" and Satan, and that Muslims worship an "idol" and not a "real God."
