Why can't adults on YouTube behave like adults?Because they don't want to.Make a video response if you want to curse and argue.I'm tired of this negativity and hate coming to my inbox.

President Bush is a Christian.He has described Prince Bandar,a Muslim, as one of his best friends.So even though we know this speech is politically motivated,there is probably some verity on his part.He has Muslim friends because he found common ground with them.Try it sometime.We all have to live on this Earth together.It's time for the human race to mature.

President Bush:Please be seated. Thank you. Welcome to the White House. This is the fifth year in a row that it's been my honor to host an Iftaar in the State Dining Room.

Our distinguished guests represent the millions of Muslims that we're proud to call Americans, and many Islamic nations are represented here that America is proud to call friend. We welcome the representatives from many countries with large Muslim populations. I want to thank you all for coming to celebrate an honored tradition of the Muslim faith, and wish you a, "Ramadan Mubarak."

I want to thank those in my administration who have joined us. I want to thank the Imam for joining us today, and thank you for leading us in prayer after these short remarks. I want to thank all the ambassadors from the Organization of the Islamic Conference. I welcome other members of the Diplomatic Corps. And I want to thank the Muslim -- American Muslim leaders who are with us today. Thanks for taking time out to celebrate this important dinner.

Ramadan is the holiest time of the Muslim year. According to Islamic teaching, this month commemorates the revelation of God's word to the Prophet Muhammad in the form of the Koran. For more than a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of heartfelt prayer and togetherness. It is a time of fasting and personal sacrifice. It's a time to give thanks for God's blessings through works of charity.

One Muslim leader said: "It's a national and Islamic obligation to assist one's neighbors when they are in need." The American people saw that spirit as we recovered from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The world sees that spirit, that compassion of Islam, through the countless acts of kindness following the recent earthquake in southeast -- in South Asia.

America is fortunate to count such good-hearted men and women among our fellow citizens. We have great respect for the commitment that all Muslims make to faith, family, and education. And Americans of many backgrounds seek to learn more about the rich tradition of Islam. To promote greater understanding between our cultures, I have encouraged American families to travel abroad, to visit with Muslim families. And I have encouraged American families to host exchange students from the Muslim world. I have asked young Americans to study the language and customs of the broader Middle East. And for the first time in our nation's history, we have added a Koran to the White House Library.

All of us gathered tonight share a conviction that America must remain a welcoming and tolerant land, in which our people are free to practice any faith they choose. We reject every form of ethnic and religious discrimination. As I said in my second Inaugural Address, we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.

We also share a common hope for the future -- that our children and grandchildren will grow up in a safer and more peaceful world. Delivering on that promise to future generations requires action from our generation. We must stand confidently in the cause of freedom -- including the freedom of people everywhere to practice their faith in peace. We must also firmly oppose all who commit evil in God's name. I am grateful to the Muslim nations that have joined our coalition in the war on terror -- including many nations that have been victims of terror themselves.

  • my dream is a world without islam,christianity and judaism.

  • @usintelreport Obama's black, that's the difference

  • @NoorminAllah Fuck islam!...

  • @tigersforchrist are you absolutely sure that your faith will guide you with your blinded view on other religion? Don't you believe: There is no compulsion in religion! Better learn that with the word: Co-existence!

  • @tigersforchrist dude you really are stupid as hell. Who are you to call a religion false and corrupt, when you don't even know if your own religion is real? You define ignorance, and I wouldn't be surprised if your education stopped at the high school level, let alone graduating.

  • Politicians give no shit about religion or culture. It's all about business. They will convert to multiple religions every day if it will means money come to their pocket. In one day, they will hold your shoulder and call you brother because they need your money. Once they don't need you, they will point a gun on your head and say "it's just business"

  • obama is just a continuation of bush policies wake up

  • 100% of all left-wingers will try their best to deny this video exists.
