Laura and I are grateful you're here. Thank you for coming. We wish you a blessed Ramadan. And now I ask the Imam to say the blessing...

(Tim) Since in the past I've said I believe President Bush has a sincere Christian faith, I must acknowledge that this White House interview recently granted to Al Arabiya's correspondent, Elie Nakouzi, reduces our President's Christian profession to a shambles. No matter his office, every Christian has a choice whether or not to invite idolaters to bless the food on his table, and whether or not to deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father. By inviting an Imam to bless his food and by saying things such as, "I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God," President Bush has betrayed the precious Name of Jesus Christ. Here's the full interview containing even more disheartening statements. (Thanks, Jeff.)
