"What I really don't understand is how Mr George W Bush has managed to make so many idiot Americans believe that ALL Muslims are blood-crazed, axe wielding, homicidal, suicide bombers, whose dearest (and only) aim in life is to end it by killing as many Americans as possible?" -- Warren

Thanks largely to the Fox network, I am saddened to say I predict most Americans would agree with that characterization

No, I don't see it that way. I know plenty of Muslims who are not homicidal suicide bombers. Not everything is black and white!
Bush believes that because, well, frankly, he's just not very smart. Do some research on his background and you'll find that throughout his schooling, he was only a mediocre student, and has now become a mediocre President. He's admitted to not be a well-read person. Well, when you're not reading, you're likely to take the opinions of others as TRUTH! Honestly, I do not think the man is making his own opinions or choices.
Also, you have to realize that this is a self-proclaimed "religious" man. As such, most of his opinions are driven by his religion. That makes his statements not so much objective, but incredibly subjective. His opinions are not necessarily derived from factual, well researched information (since he's a non-reader), they are derived from religious belief and from others' opinions.
As far as I'm concerned. I disagree with Mr. Bush and am hoping we all make better choices come the next election.

No. That is not what most Americans think. Polls have shown this over and over again. I'm not sure who Warren is, but he is ignorant of the facts.
One of the analysts on the BBC said something this week that might better describe how GWB and many Americans see things... His point of differentiation was between islam and islamist. An individual that is merely a peacful and innocent adherent to the religion is not a treat. It is the islamist who advocates domination of all that is the threat.
So if one had to stereotype (and one does not) the above might be applied to islamists.

Don't blame George Bush.
Blame the Muslims who are killing everyone in God's name.
Blame the Muslims who are bringing up children to hate.
Blame the Muslims who reward the families of suicide bombers.
Blame the Muslims who say the fight is everybody else's fault, when they started the fight, kept the fight going, and refused to stop fighting.
When they give up terrorism, then they can bring all of their complaints to the table and be heard.
Until then, they are like a criminal in prison, who justifies victimizing others because he has been victimized. It is called victim stance and it is a false life premise.
Have you been wronged? Are the Muslim's being treated unfairly? Then stop killing and come to the tables of the world in peace and plead your case.
Do you know why we American's honor Martin Luther King? Because he saw a great wrong and he went about fixing it the right way. The Muslims may have been wronged in the worst way, but they are committing an even worse wrong in the way they are trying to "fix" their victimization.
When are you going to wake up? Are you ever?

Bush is a Catholic Christian as much as his father George Bush, the former US President. The current phase of war with terrorists is actually in continuity with the Crusades of 1059-1289 A.D. Bush is controlled by the Holy Church in Rome. Muhammad the founder of Islamic faith had predicted that his faith will rule the world for 1400 years. Is it going to be over by 2010 A.D., if his predictions should not fail.

What does President Bush say? Research that. Bush is a Christian man. We LOVE all people, including muslims and even our enemies. We do NOT like evil, bullies and terrorists. This is what Bush is against. Not Muslims. If you want to know my opinion, I love the muslims but they are blinded by a false religion that has no peace or salvation. I do not like Islam but I love the Muslims. Try to understand this.

I'm sure that if you could, you would blame Bush for the wheather, or the TV signal, or the traffic, or any of the other irrisponsible things that you do in your life...
Peacefull Muslims do exist.... they ignore most of the Quran because of it's aggressive and violent teachings...
But the Majority of Muslims, especialy in the Middle East are Radical and violent devout followers of the Quran and this verse as well, it is among many such similar verses..
"Fight and slay the pagans(Christians Jews, and non belivers) whever you find them, and sieze them, beleagur them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem(of war)."- Surah 9:5, the Quran...
Is this the Islam that is so misunderstood? The peace loving Islam?
I do admit there have been violent times in the history of Christianty as well, but that was because they strayed from the peace and love that the Bible teaches...
"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despisibly use you, and persecute you."-Matthew 5:44, the Bible...
It is all in the core teachings of the 2 different faiths...
the Quran in violence, aggression and forced conversions...
the Bible in love, peace and faith sharing...
NOTE TO MUSLIMS: I am not trying to insult you, but those verses are of Allah, and you cannot deny their existance...

Bush didn't make me believe that...the actions of the muslims did that.....their terrorist actions to the world have swayed my opinion way before Bush or any of the 9/11 attacks occurred....if the muslim people want the world to see them in a new light then they need to stand and speak openly across the world against terrorist behavior and then act against it...take action.....they speak louder than words....show us you arent like them...but no you sit and call us idiots and slam our leader and stay in the same attitude as those who terrorise the world.....your own mouth is a good example of who you really are....you spread lies ,lies and more lies.....Americans arent a gullible people and you certainly will not pull the wool over our eyes.....sell your propaganda elsewhere we dont want to hear it in America...Bush isnt killing our soldiers ....you are

That guy is lovely. Is it warren buffet?
I don't think all muslims are like that. I know George doesn't. If he didn't he wouldn't be trying to get support from Pakistan and Qatar.
