Answer 1

I do.

Answer 2

You have to remember that North American culture is one of multiple religions, and that the rule is not religious based. Indeed, there is a firm disconnection between church and state in NA. So while some may agree with Bush and some (many) may disagree, it is not on--or at least should not be on--a religious basis, but one of foreign policy and government.

It is a difficult concept, just as the concept of a religion-based government--such as Islamic nations, or Jewish...--but one, I think, that is paramount to understand how the world is working (or not working, as the case may be).

And yes, I believe whole-heartedly that North Americans--Christian and otherwise--should do exactly the same thing, just from the opposite perspective. Understanding and communication is key, on a personal level--ie. between two people--and on a national or even multi-national level.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, Bush is definitely considered to be a Christians by the fundamentalist. He is their knight in shining armor. They are hoping that he can stack the court and overturn Roe vs. Wade. They expect him to make sure that same sex marriages are constitutionally outlawed. Bush was elected by conservative older republicans because they are the ones that get out and vote. That is the tragedy here. This country will continue towards religion in the law if all of us don't get out and vote. It is not just a privilege to vote, it is our duty.

Answer 4

You'd have to ask several Western Christians to get a feel for that. He professes to believe in the Bible and Jesus as his Lord.. I suppose that qualifys him with some as a good Christian. Peronally, I see deeds in life as being as important , or more important than what one believes. Considering the past six years, he doesn't rate very highly with me.

Answer 5

He is a man, Nothing more, and as such makes mistakes, I support Bush and agree with him on the social issues and the war, but disagree on Immigration and Social Security Privatization, and a few other issues.

Answer 6

Yes! Bush is doing God's work in the middle east by exterminating the evil terrorist muslims! Bush is the greatest president of ALL time and will be remembered that way!

Answer 7

i work with Assyrian, Iraqi Christians, after being persecuted by Muslims for centuries they know the hate of Muslims. They think Bush is wonderful. Of course Christians arnt going to tell their oppressors the truth, after all the killing and death that has been inflicted on them by Muslims in the name of Allah

Muslims hate here is why


Surah II: 98 – “Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.”
Surah II: 191-193 – “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them….Fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah.”
Surah II: 216 – “Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.”
Surah III: 19 – “Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam…and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.”
Surah IV: 104 – “Be not weak in pursuit of the enemy.”
Surah V: 51 – “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Surah VIII: 12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Surah VIII: 15-17 – “O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, turn not your backs to them. Whoever shall turn his back to them on that day – unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company – then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell… So you did not slay them, but it was Allah who slew them…that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
Surah IX: 29 – “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth… until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.”
Surah IX:33 – “[Allah] it is who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though polytheists may be averse.”
Surah IX: 73 – “O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination.”
Surah IX: 123 – “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in your hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).”
