Contrary to popular belief, the washing of hands is not to abandon or reject or to turn away from the issue at hand, but the Jews must wash for prayer, as they too are Muslims.
Pilate and Herod held long discussions with Christ and they were well aware of the Islam of Israel, and Pilate was reminding the blood-thirsty Jewish leaders that they should have been keeping the Passover holy with prayer and with their preparation for the Sabbath, and also, that the power of crucifixion was in his hands, to make or break them.
"Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight." (John 9:11)
Biblical Jews, like other Muslims, must wash to prepare for prayer, and the command to wash is to go and pray for your sight.
He washed, and Pilate washed, and Christ was set free, and the two Jesus thieves were crucified, and the Curse of the Crucified Thieves still linger in Jerusalem and throughout the Middle East, and now George Bush must go and wash.
