When Bush called the war in Iraq/war on terror a "Crusade" at one of his press conferences in front of millions of viewers about 2 years, ago did those millions of people not here him say "Crusade"?

I didn't think that it was a "crusade against Muslims" I thought it was a War on Terror. Trying to make the world a better place for everyone to live...INCLUDING Muslims...
They're people to!

Yes,I remember when Bush used the word crusade.But you also need to realize that Bin Ladin declared war on the U.S. years before 9/11.So I would call this a counter crusade.It wasn't just war that Bin Ladin declared,but Jihad.We did not declare Jihad,we are just defending ourselves,and if we have to do it by going on a crusade,then so be it.

Maybe it ticked the Almighty off a bit when bush decided to atack a countrythat never attacked us, and had no ties to the people who did.
Or maybe it was the use of torture.
Or maybe it was Bush using this as an excuse to place himself above the law (which is not only unAmerican but flatly against the teaching of the Bible).
Hmmmm--last time I checked, the Almighty only rewards people who follow His rules. That MIGHT just be the problem.

We went into Afghanistan as a crusade against muslims?
I thought the the Taliban were not real muslims?
Was Saddam a great muslim?
Bush is an idiot, and his policies have been retarded, but I fail to see the crusade aspect.
So how can a war against Al-Quada, taliban, terrorists, ect...be a crusade against muslims?
At what point did we start pushing christianity on any of these people? If it is a crusaded against muslims, how come even the prisoners are allowed qurans, given to them by the US government? Why do they still have mosques? How come islamic parties are allowed to hold major positions in Iraq?
How come general order 1 for all mil personal makes it so they have to respect religion, including not entering mosques, no booze, no proslitizing
ect ect ect
Why does bush keep saying that Islam is a religion of peace?
Why are muslims 100% free to pray to allah and spread islam in america even?
This is not much of a crusade....
Edit:
I don't like Bush, but let's not get stupid about it
Did he say crusade against Islam? A crusade to spread christianity? Or crusade for democracy against terrorism?
Don't get me wrong, Bush's crusade for democracy is retarded, but how is it a crusade against Islam?
UNLESS you are going to say that Islam is against democracy, and muslims have to fight for a theocracy to be real muslims.
Also, at what point has the US done anything to push christianity on them?
How is "Islam being oppressed"?

Do you mean ferret out and destroy Osama Bin Laden ? I think God takes care of the things God does. Man must take care for and do the things man must do. God helps those that help themselves.

No dear!!! God gave human beings their free will!!! Then he stepped back, and said go for it!!! He provided road blocks and directions on how to make it work!!! But it was up to us to see it and follow through!! If he intervenes, then the blessing of free agency is nullified!!! If we fail, it's our fault, not his!!!
