Can one man make a difference?
Yes.

The lunatic fringe’s hatred of Islam is a hellish volcano on the verge of erupting. We are alienating over a billion Muslims worldwide and we have made it unsafe for any Muslim to walk the streets of America.

Shortly after 9/11, and for the following eight years, George W. Bush spoke out forcefully against hating the world’s Muslims. He declared that our enemy was terrorism and that we should not hate an entire religion because of the actions of a small minority. It well may be the only decent thing he did during the time he occupied the Oval Office.

Now, he has been asked to speak out against the toxic hatred of Islam that has gripped America. And I hold little doubt that by doing so, he could make a tremendous difference. But he has refused to utter a word.

If you want a definition of evil, you need look no further than George W. Bush. It is only fitting that he be forever remembered as a man who lacked a single atom of human decency.

3. Perhaps we're looking at some sort of cosmic balance.
Suleiman the Magnificent and Bush the Malignant.

4. The North American Muslims are beginning to fight back. On the news in Canada is the arrest
of 3 or 4 terrorist plotters. When Canadian news asks muslims for comments they say...don't just go to us on this story. We are not responsible for the terrorists.

5. The hatred of Muslims in this country today has
turned a relatively small group of fanatics into a virtual army. This makes Osama Bin Laden very happy.

6. Yup. And even muslims in Canada are feeling sensitive. The hate will radicalize
more lost muslim youth. The hate plays right into Osama's hands.
