Well, there's the question of how religion can enlighten people.

Then there's the question of whether any of it's actually true.


Anyway, the "ideology of hate" Bush refers to isn't Islam itself. It's the freaks like Bin Laden that use misinterpretations of Islam to instill feelings of hate among Muslims.

It's like an equivelant of the KKK, or the Nazis. They teach people to take political ideals and turn them into hate against innocent civilians based on race.

Bush never told anyone to frown upon Arabs. He just wanted people to understand there are a pocket of religious zealots they need to destroy.

I hate when people blab on about this "Muslim genocide" bullshit. That's what the terrorists try and make their recruits believe. That America, Israel and all democratic societies are conspiring to oust Islam. It's fucking bullshit!
