This is the text of George Bush's Ramadan address from 2002. Please note it's from 2002 when 9/11 tensions and fears were still very very high. This was just a few months before he started the war in Iraq. It can be found on the White House website:
President's Greeting for Ramadan
I send greetings to Muslims in the United States and around the world as you observe the holy month of Ramadan.
Islam is a peace-loving faith that is practiced by more than one billion people, including millions of American Muslims. These proud citizens contribute to the diversity that makes our country strong, and the United States is grateful for the friendship and support of many Muslim Nations that are vital partners in the global coalition to fight against terrorism.
The Qur'an teaches that Ramadan is a time for fasting, prayer, worship, and contemplation. Muslims observe this month by renewing their dedication to caring for those in need, doing good deeds, and strengthening family and community ties. These actions reflect many of the values that Muslims share with people of other faiths across our Nation and around the world, including courage, compassion, and service.
America remains committed to freedom, justice, and opportunity for all people. During this season of reverence and examination, we continue to work together for a future of peace, tolerance, and understanding.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a blessed time. May you be well during Ramadan and throughout the coming year.
GEORGE W. BUSH
****************
Take that, change "Laura" to "my wife" and leave off his name at the end. Email it to who ever, but preface it with "would you vote for a president who said something like this from White House?"
Wait for them to say HELL NO!!! WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT IS THAT????
Then tell them who gave those remarks.
And listen to the silence......
