| "I have assured His Majesty that our war is against evil, not against Islam. There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know -- that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion. The exact opposite of the teachings of the al Qaeda organization, which is based upon evil and hate and destruction." - U.S. President George W. Bush and His Majesty King Abdullah of Jordan at the Oval Office, Washington, D.C., September 28, 2001 |
