Bush is far more pro-Islam than any leftist. He has said the term "Religion of Peace" far more than anyone else. Bush has met with many prominent Islamic leaders from both the US and Middle East. Bush is friendly with almost all Islamic countries, the only Muslim country not on good terms with the Bush admin now is Iran. And the Bush admin rolled over on the issue of Islam in the Iraqi Constitution.

When has Bush EVER been criticial of Islam?

The fact is, the left is far more anti-Islam than Bush.

Because right wingers (like dazzleman) keep claiming that the left is always defends Islam and it's PC to claim that Islam can never be criticized, but what actually happens claims to the contrary.

Bush is pro-human. Bush supports Muslims who agree with democracy and human rights.

You mean like the Saudis? Yeah, they're really big on democracy and human rights. Roll Eyes

The left is simply for any revolutionary movement that opposes democracy, human rights, and western civilization.

False. I basically support any revolutionary movement that's leftist, or Christian if it's in a country where such a movement is needed (such as Sudan and Lebanon). These movements are definately for democracy, human rights and western civilization, at least moreso than who they fight. The Lebanese were right to kick the Syrians out because it's better for the Christians, and the Christians in Sudan are right to fight the evil anti-Christian regime. I also support any leftist movement against any right wing regime, such as the FMLN and the Guatemalan group in my sig, although those were mostly in the 80s and few are around now. They were also for democracy and human rights in comparison to the awful regimes they were fighting.

Id say im friendlier to Islam than Bush is, but many leftists have this unusaul dislike for Islam (which is wierd because of the 'everyones equal' thing they like to preach) overal, id say its a tie.

Islam is quite an outright anti-Leftist/Western religion.
doesnt mean i dont support their right to preach it. Some of my best friends are anti-leftist. I dont care.

They have a right to preach it, but that doesn't mean we have to support it.

My attitude on Islam is largely the same as fundamentalist Christianity, such as the crap Robertson and Falwell preach. Islam is quite a repressive religion if you look at its effects in the countries it's in. Now if you look at the Christians in predominately Muslim countries, they are far more progressive, and largely produce the alcohol and porn there. It's easy to see why I thus have a dim view of Islam. Sure I agree with the "everyone's equal" deal, but Islam obvious doesn't if you look at its treatment of women.
