GWB IS A CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN BUT HE IS NOT MUCH OF A CONSERVATIVE

President Bush made this important statement at the re-dedication of the Washington DC Islamic Center last week, via Daniel Pipes:
“I have invested the heart of my presidency in helping Muslims fight terrorism, and claim their liberty, and find their own unique paths to prosperity and peace.”
This is a sentence that deserves to be read several times. The “heart of my presidency” – a very revealing phrase indeed. One must question whether the “heart” of any American presidency should be about people who are overwhelmingly not Americans, who live mostly very far away, and whose societies have so little in common with the Judeo-Christian-Enlightenment traditions passed down to us principally from England. We find the statement disturbing in its grandiosity. In electing George Bush, Americans did not elect a Pope, or Martin Luther, or the new rector of Al Azhar University, or president of the world.
