Photo: Bush bows his head during prayer at dinner with Muslim leaders
"I wonder what we're havin' for dinner...I don't even know what Islamic fascist extremist food is, fer Chrissake. Karl said it was falafels and stuff like that, but what the hell is a falafel? I mean, hell..this is the White House. They should be eatin' American food like ribs and burgers and salsa and chips! What time is it? Hell, it's already past my bedtime...maybe I should just declare the whole room to be unlawful combatants and put an end to this right here, right now..."



President Bush bows his head as Imam Talal Eid of the Islamic Institute of Boston delivers a prayer and blessing during the Iftaar Dinner with ambassadors and Muslim leaders in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, Oct. 16, 2006. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

3. BWAHAHA!! yet another "heretic" move by el presidente chimpito
Edited on Mon Oct-16-06 11:27 PM by ima_sinnic
He is reviled by "true Xtians" for bowing at a Shinto shrine during a visit to Japan, for his annual Iftaar dinners, and for remarks favorable to Muslims, among other transgressions.
Just one example of religious wingnut shunning of their reputed hero, written way back in 2004:
"Why Christians Should Not Vote for George W. Bush"
