9-11-01: The Lie


President George W. Bush, on September 17, 2001 (six days after 2,977 Americans were slaughtered by Muslim jihadis):

Thank you all very much for your hospitality. We’ve just had a wide-ranging discussions on the matter at hand. Like the good folks standing with me, the American people were appalled and outraged at last Tuesday’s attacks. And so were Muslims all across the world. Both Americans and Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens.

These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that.

The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.

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.

When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that’s made brothers and sisters out of every race—out of every race.

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.

Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America. That’s not the America I know. That’s not the America I value.

I’ve been told that some fear to leave; some don’t want to go shopping for their families; some don’t want to go about their ordinary daily routines because, by wearing cover, they’re afraid they’ll be intimidated. That should not and that will not stand in America.

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.

This is a great country. It’s a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth. And it is my honor to be meeting with leaders who feel just the same way I do. They’re outraged, they’re sad. They love America just as much as I do.

I want to thank you all for giving me a chance to come by. And may God bless us all.

Great post Holger! GWB did America a huge disservice, while emboldening the Muslim Brotherhood & all their Front Groups! The English translation is not as "eloquent" according to George Bush. Such as: Quran Chap 4 v84: "So engage in WAR for the SAKE of allah, lay not burdens on any but yourself AND PROVOKE THE BELIEVERS". How eloquent of an inspiration!
Maybe a more eloquent verse might be: Chap 8 v39: "And engage in WAR with them until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to allah. So if they cease, so surely allah sees what they do".
Ah perhaps the most eloquent verse for such a peaceful religion is Chap 9 v5 (which abrogates 124 verses in the quran): "So when the forbidden months are passed, so KILL THE POLYTHEISTS WHEREVER you find them (I don't know like NYC, DC, TX, FL) and take them as Captives and besiege them and LAY WAIT for them with EVERY KIND OF AMBUSH, so if they repent and perform the prayer and give legal alms, so leave their way free (some might call that extortion if you weren't killed)
Mama Mia NO Sharia!

Vito,

Thanks for stopping by on this day when WE REMEMBER.

And thanks for your never ending shining of the spotlight on the truth about Islam. Thank you for shedding more light on the true nature of this fake religion.
