In the months following the attacks of September 11, President George
W. Bush made a point to remind the United States that we were not at
war against Islam. In a speech in April of 2002, he said:
America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred
against people of Arab background or Muslim faith. America
values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths--Christian,
Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others. Every faith is
practiced and protected here, because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American because
we're one country. Race and color should not divide us,
because America is one country. Do Senate Republicans agree?
