How can the Bush Administration reach out to Muslims when the biggest supporters of the Bush Administration are Bigots who hate people who aren't in their eyes 'christian'? The 'christian' Right hates Muslims just like they hate everyone who is not a 'christian' RW'er.
I usually don't post quotes that reflect Anti-Muslim bigotry, because I am a Muslim myself. But, in this case I will make an exception. How can a person profess to want to reach out to Muslims with one hand and then hold the hand of people who hate Muslims, along with many other groups, at the same time?
"We should just turn the sheriff loose and have him arrest every Muslim that crosses the state line." -U.S. Rep. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Valdosta Daily Times, 11/20/01
"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being." - Jerry Falwell
"I think Mohammed was a terrorist. He - I read enough of the history of his life written by both Muslims and – and - non-Muslims, that he was a - a violent man, a man of war. And I do believe that - Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses. And I think that Mohammed set an opposite example." - Jerry Falwell
"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" - Pat Robertson
