Speaking at an emotionally charged moment, just six days after the attacks [ September 11, 2001], Bush told the audience that it was vital for Americans to understand that the terrorists did not represent the Muslim tradition.
"Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America; they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior," Bush said.
The president reiterated his firm commitment to protecting the constitutional rights and honoring the important role of the Muslim community in the United States.
In no uncertain terms, Bush said: "The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war."
Editor's notes: Bush believed in the guilt of the Muslim few while having no confusion about Islamic jihad and its goal to destroy Israel and America. Obama cannot put the two realities together. As a result, he fails the test each and every time he is asked about jihad. Yesterday, while on his Asian tour, an Indian girl asked Obama about "jihad" and received a lecture on the etymology of the word, Obama failing to appreciate the context of the girl's question. This young lady had in mind her concern about "jihad." In Asia, Islamic jihad has only one meaning. In presenting his knowledge of the word "jihad," Obama demonstrated his ignorance of the problematic nature of jihad and ignored the young adult's fears of jihad in the [her] world.
