December 6, 2002 Bush praises Islam for its 'morality' By Bill Sammon THE WASHINGTON TIMES President Bush yesterday removed his shoes, entered a mosque and praised Islam for inspiring "countless individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality." For the second time since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the president yesterday visited Washington's oldest mosque, the Islamic Center, where Muslims from 75 nations gather to worship. Mr. Bush marked the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan by praising Islam as a hopeful religion of mercy and tolerance. "Islam affirms God's justice and insists on man's moral responsibility," said the president, flanked by a half-dozen imams. "Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind." The overture to Muslims came four days after religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Mr. Bush "ignores history" by not acknowledging that Islam is "violent at its core." In an interview with The Washington Times last month, Mr. Robertson said he understood the president's political need for support from the Muslim world in the war on terrorism, but said the president should not speak about Islam as a religion and that he "is not elected as chief theologian." [snip] washtimes.com It becomes clearer and clearer that America really has no fundamental problem dealing with Islam and the Arab world... Somehow, the United States has willingly accepted to take the brunt of the violence/hatred that is erupting all along Eurasia's faultline between Judeo-Christianity and Islam. Afghanistan is not an American problem --it's a Russian one or, more ominously, a Russian/Pakistani one. Hence the need to bring the US in... to avoid a nuclear clash between Russia and Pakistan. Likewise, Iraq is not an American problem --it's an Israeli one. However, Israel could only handle Iraq using its non-conventional arsenal in conjunction with a "final solution" against the Palestinians.... In that case again, only the US intervention can avoid an Armaggedon between the Arab world and Judeofascist Eurasia. Chechnya and Georgia? Same thing: it's a Russian scrape... and guess who plays the firefighter? Uncle Sam! All in all, if the Iraq crisis is not peacefully resolved, we'll be heading towards EWI, that is, Eurasian War I. Of course, it'll be a world war in the sense that the US will likely be drawn into it as well --with repercussions in Asia, Africa, etc. Yet, the nexus of the next war will be Eurasia and its "squall line" between Islam/Arab culture and Judeofascism. Of course, that's not the way the US establishment will depict geopolitics to the American public... because Americans can't and won't accept to be sent abroad to clean up other peoples' messes. Americans need to be told that they're gonna fight for THEIR OWN safety --or better yet, for the free world.... Gus
