BUSH--LIKE HIS FOLLOWERS--ARE AT WAR WITH ISLAM. NOT AMERICA.

Today, Bush said that the US isn't at war with Islam. But everywhere you look, we have secret prisons, internment camps, lampooned military trials, and of course, the torture question--all aimed at Muslims.

By definition, we are at war with not only anything Muslim these days, but we are also at war with anyone who speaks of the Islamic faith as being anything but peaceful.

And according to Bush's loyal followers, we (as a nation of democracy) have every right to wipe out every Muslim off the planet using tactical nuclear weapons, or any other means of force.

They also say that we should construct concentration camps inside this country, and jail all Muslims and anyone who sides with them. (Liberals too.)

But should we be really surprised by Bush's behavior? No.

He himself insinuated that everyone who fights against are nation is an "Islamo-fascist", and that it is the sworn duty of the United States to 'destroy those who would strike fear and terror in the hearts of those who only love freedom and democracy'.

But Islam isn't the enemy here. And neither are liberals. It's those people in power who use fear and unwarranted aggression to achieve their goals.

And I'm not talking about the terrorists here.
