| quote: | Speaking at a mosque on the plain of Mount Arafat, Sheik Abdul-Aziz al-Sheik, the kingdom’s grand mufti, said Muslims were facing critical challenges, among them accusations of terrorism and human rights abuses and calls for revisions in their school textbooks, many of which make nonbelievers, especially Jews.
“Oh, Muslim nation, there is a war against of our creed, against our culture under the pretext of fighting terrorism. We should stand firm and united in protecting our religion,” he said.
“Islam’s enemies want to empty our religion from its contents and its meaning,” said al-Sheik, the Saudi kingdom’s top religious authority.
“But the soldiers of God will be victorious,” he said.
The faithful called out: “Amen.”

"States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic." - Mount Arafat, Sheik Abdul-Aziz al-Sheik
“Oh, Christian nation, there is a war against of our creed, against our culture under the pretext of fighting terrorism. We should stand firm and united in protecting our religion,” - George W Bush
there is very little difference between these two demagogues. |

"Oh fishy nation, humans keep mocking and eating us. Terrorist allies armed with fishing polls and fake worms pose a grave and growing dancer to our fins. We should float firm and united in protecting our eggs,"

If you'd like to read something a bit scary (and a bit pessimistic, if you ask me) on the subject, I'd recommend, "The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason," by Sam Harris.
We all know that when religion is used perversely, only bad can happen, but it is quite breath taking to see the nuts and bolts of why a religion can condone such horrific ideals. Although Sam leaves no religion unscathed, it is quite amazing what Islam urges its followers to do. |

No. The first is an unedited quote by Bush himself, just Switch "- Mount Arafat, Sheik Abdul-Aziz al-Sheik" with "- George W Bush." The second quote i changed "Islam" to "Christian".
