CHRISTIANS UP IN ARMS OVER PRESIDENTS "SAME GOD" STATEMENT 
Tuesday , December 02, 2003

Evangelical Christians across America are up in arms over a statement President Bush made during the joint press conference in England with Prime Minster Tony Blair. The President made the statement that Christian and Muslims worship the same God.

A reporter was present who had noted that Bush frequently expressed the view that freedom is a gift from “the Almighty,” but he questioned whether Bush believed “Muslims worship the same Almighty” as the President and other Christian do.

The London Telegraph reported that the President said: “I do say that freedom is the Almighty’s gift to every person. I also condition it by saying freedom is not America’s gift to the world. It’s much greater than that, of course. And I believe we worship the same God.”

The President’s equivalence of the Judeo-Christian God and the Muslim god brought shock and dismay to evangelicals worldwide.

Of course many agree that he is not a theologian. But young Christians in high school know that evangelicals and Muslims do not worship this same God. We would not be at war if we worshiped the same God. Muslims are instructed to kill Christians and Jews.

President Bush who does discuss his faith with reporters has defended Islam many times as a religion of peace. If you have never read the book “Islam”
by Serge Trifkovic you must. It identifies the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as the greatest danger to “Western” values since the end of the Cold War.

Under Islam there can be no separation of Church and state. Islam is away of
life and the faithful must accept and affirm their surrender to Allah.

Mr. Amir Taheri, an Iranian author, points out that Bin Laden believes Muslims should live in non-Muslim countries to further the cause of Islam and speed up the end of the infidels.

Ambassador James Bissett, former head of the Canadian Immigration and Foreign Service states that as Western democracies refused to acknowledge the danger of Nazi and Communist ideologies, our refusal to confront militant Islam may cost us dearly.

The confusing comment by the President may not cost him votes but it will not help him either. A phone call or letter from you is equal to 300 or 400 letters and phone calls. Take a minute and express your opinion.
