I agree with George on this one. This thread gets ugly when we tend to "eat" our own...............

Go to the the source of seeds of the discussion.
#reply-18236104 stupidly reasoned.
#reply-18234346 the first statement

It is all based upon a proffer that PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH lies as lies are the tools of politicians. It is also based upon the assertion that because a subset of members of a religion go wacko then the religion is wacko. In the US were religius freedom and tolerance abound. I believe one sees that Islam is a a religion of peace. I believe there are a few million American Muslims. I say if we have 5000 Islamic terrorists, I doubt it, They will not murder as many Americans this year or next as criminals. I do not doubt that there may be ten thousand or more hating America Muslims, but I guess there are many times that of other races and creeds.

But none of that makes logical an argument suggesting PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH is lying as he reminds all the Islam is a religion of peace.

Going to countries where political power and religion are one the religion is distorted as a tool of secular control. In such a place one does not see the soul of a religion but only the manipulation for the purposes of those in control.

Evil men, stupid men can distort any religion to serve any purpose as an ignorant public at large can be easily manipulated. In America where we have a free press how many Americans are manipulated and lied to. Now consider a country were all information is controlled.

Does American news cover evil 99% of the time and good 1%. So what do we really know of what others in other countries really think.
