These links might be a bit more current, and appropriate...plus they are free...<gg>

They may be current and free, but they don't address the question on the table. In case you have lost track of your question:

>Re President Bush, have you seen a single quote direct from him that would even make anyone think that he believes this? <

the "this" being:

> Our President happens to believe that it is his duty to enlighten the populations of the world, including Muslims, that we are the ONLY way to salvation<

I can find only references to a quote from Bush on that point. The original interview requires payment. Here is one of the references:

>In a Houston Post interview in 1994, as he was beginning his first run for governor, he suggested that heaven is open only to those who have accepted Jesus as their savior.<

Nothing in the links you offered is on point. Whether or not Bush is tolerant of Muslims is not on point.

As for the truth of Bush's belief, it seems to me that, since that is a core belief of evangelicals and since Bush is an evangelical, ergo that is extremely likely his belief.
