Fair enough - but the fact that this president has taken the War on Terrorism to the terrorists, has overseen the decimation of a major portion of the al-Qaeda network and disarmed Saddam Hussein's Iraq tends to cancel out his generalized positive comment about one of the world's major religions. We don't want to fight a religion but the terrorists that have hijacked the religion for their own ends. Fighting a religion that is 1400 years old with over a billion adherents is beyond futile. That was very likely the rationale for the Bush comment that "Islam is a religion of peace". He can say that even as the U.S. military goes about killing the terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere that do not treat Islam as 'a religion of peace' but as an excuse for murder. For those Muslims, Islam is no shield and we give them no quarter as they attempt to hide behind the 'religion of peace' while they behead innocent people. You see, it's all in the interpretation.
