Is George W. Bush America’s first Christian Universalist President? Chuck Baldwin asks Bush’s Faith-based supporters to consider the facts.
…how would our Christian brethren react if someone came into their church and said that “all religions pray to the same God”? I dare say such a statement would be met with the most vehement rejection. Yet, that is exactly what President Bush has said repeatedly. The latest example was just last Friday, October 5, 2007.
In an interview with Al Arabiya reporter Elie Nakouzi, Bush said, “I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God.” (Source: WND) Bush has made this same statement throughout his Presidency. The statement obviously reflects a deep-seated belief.
Of course, George W. Bush is the first President in U.S. history to celebrate Ramadan in the White House. He is also the first President to worship and pray in a Shinto temple.

There seems to be a lot of debate here in the United States. Many people are trying to suggest that the God Allah of the Muslims is not the same God of the other monotheistic religions. This is a very serious misunderstanding of Islam and I am surprised it is so common in this society. The very essence of the message of Islam is that there is no other God than Allah. The God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad.

Saleem, this is simply not so. Jesus is the Messiah, not just a prophet. He is also God, the Son. I realize I risk loosing your interest with that comment. Perhaps it would help you to understand where I am coming from, first.
