President Bush got it right and you got it wrong....again... What those terrorists believe to be religion IS false..even my Islamic next door neighbor said that!

His words can ,and probably will be used on AL Jeeza ( Arab TV station sp?) to recruit more terrorists. I think it's sufficient to just offer an attractive pay package with possibly some afterlife benefits..

>> he used the term "false religion" to describe the terrorists beliefs<<< OK..that's not so bad... I think. But even mentioning religion is something the president of what is supposed to be a secular society should be very very prudent about. It would have been wiser ( if at all )to have let his guest, King Abdullah of Jordan , say these words so as not to confuse , and like you say, have the nut cases screaming it was meant towards all of Islam. I mean hey...even you thought he meant otherwise.Right? Anywhoo......thanks for the clarification..... I'll go back again to sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this administration to start World War Four. <G> Regards, KC

The President is quietly backing the Shi'a religion with that statement. I'm sure the king picked up on that.

it is irresponsible for our leaders to make that kind of declaration. This? < "Today we mourn the loss of American lives," Bush said at the outset of his meeting with the king. He said the terrorists were guided by "some kind of false religion" and were trying to kill off peace hopes. > Then it is equally irresponsible of Arab leaders to refer to Americans as "crusaders", isn't it? That's a loaded term in their vocabulary. Yet they have done so repeatedly. Where is your condemnation of them?
