President Bush Attends Iftaar Dinner at the White House

 
THE PRESIDENT: Please be seated. Good evening and "Ramadan Karim." Welcome to the White House. Laura and I are really glad you're here. This is the sixth year that we have been pleased to host an Iftaar at the White House. We're honored to be with you and once again we're honored to pay tribute to the month of Ramadan.
 
Islam is a religion that brings hope and comfort to more than a billion people around the world. It has transcended racial and ethnic divisions. It has given birth to a rich culture of learning and literature and science. And tonight we honor the traditions of a great faith by hosting the Iftaar here at the White House.

(Jesus wouldn't call the Islam faith a great faith, and it doesn't lead anyone to eternal life. In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by me." If Islam has transcended racial and ethnic divisions, then why are the Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims in Iraq killing each other off, and why do the Muslims in other countries want to kill anyone who doesn't convert to Islam?)
