George W Bush makes it quite clear in this transcript that the "Almighty
God" he believes in is the same one that Muslims, Christians, or any
other religion pray to. Sounds like a "New Age" belief system to me.

Area : WHITEHOUSE

Date : Fri Oct 05, 23:30 Subj : Press Release (0710055) for Fri, 2007 Oct 5

=========================================================================== Interview of the President by Al Arabiya =========================================================================== [...]

THE PRESIDENT: Sure. I want to show you the Rose Garden, one of the most
famous areas --

Q It's a great chance for me. I heard, Mr. President, also that you are receiving an Iftaar --

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am.

Q -- in the White House, which is, of course, a Muslim ritual

THE PRESIDENT: It is.

Q But I want to tell you -- and I hope this doesn't bother you at all --
that in the Islamic world they think that President Bush is an enemy of
Islam --

THE PRESIDENT: Sure.

Q -- that he wants to destroy their religion, what they believe in. Is that
in any way true, Mr. President?

THE PRESIDENT: No, it's not. I've heard that, and it just shows [sic] to
show a couple of things: One, that the radicals have done a good job of propagandizing. In other words, they've spread the word that this really
isn't peaceful people versus radical people or terrorists, this is really
about the America not liking Islam.

Well, first of all, I believe in an almighty God, and I believe that all
the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays
to the same God. That's what I believe. I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace. And I believe people who murder the innocent
to achieve political objectives aren't religious people, whether they be a Christian who does that -- we had a person blow up our -- blow up a federal building in Oklahoma City who professed to be a Christian, but that's not a Christian act to kill innocent people.

Q Exactly.

[...]

Cheers, Steve..

Replying to a message of Mullah Lodabullah to All:

George W Bush makes it quite clear in this transcript that the
"Almighty God" he believes in is the same one that Muslims,
Christians, or any other religion pray to. Sounds like a "New Age"
belief system to me.

Actually it's logic (not that I would ascribe any ability in that regard to Bush
minor). All monotheistic religions *must* be worshipping the same god, otherwise
there'd have to be more than one of them - and if that were true it would knock
their
basic beliefs out from under them. Of course, each of them contends that their
particular deity/belief system is the one true deity/system; but that's a matter of faith, not logic.

Well, if it is simply logic, then it matters little if one chooses the
god of Islam, or the God of the Bible (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

You can assert as fact that monotheistic religions *must* be worshipping
the same god ... I accept that the biblical God, who sent his only
begotten son to die for our sins (John 3:16), is quite different from the
god of Islam, who does not have a son (Sura 18:4-6 etc).

The two belief systems are on a collision course - choose either, or
neither, but choose wisely. Logic may not suffice in making the correct
choice.

Curious Mullah... which are you a Muslim or a Christian?

I am a Christian - the "Mullah" is a nonsense name. :)
