so you're OK with throwing Jesus' call to "love your enemies" overboard and continue the latest "Christian Crusade" of Muslim slaughter? Bush's use of word 'crusade' a red flagMuslims link it with invasion by Europeans By SALLY BUZBEE, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Updated 10:00 pm, Monday, September 17, 2001 WASHINGTON -- President Bush calls it a "crusade," a war against a new kind of evil. But using such a term, loaded with historical baggage about religious wars, could alienate moderate Muslims that the United States needs, some experts caution. "A lot of people think that America is out to get Islam, anyway," Joshua Salaam, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, said yesterday. "We've got to be careful of the words we use." U.S. leaders should be especially leery of anything that hints at a holy war, many said, because it plays into the hands of Osama bin Laden, who has said he wants the world to plunge into a war, or jihad, between Islam and Christianity. "It's what the terrorists use to recruit people -- saying that Christians are on a crusade against Islam," said Yvonne Haddad, a professor of the history of Islam at Georgetown University in Washington. "It's as bad to their ears as it is when we hear 'jihad.'"
