Yeah, douchebag. You were probably only 5 years old at the time, but President Bush appeared on national television very shortly after the attacks of 9/11 to remind the nation that we were NOT at war with Islam and that we should NOT lay blame on all Muslims for the actions of some evil individuals. He reiterated the fact that our enemy was not the Islamic faith many times over the following years. It might help you avoid this embarrassment if you knew what the hell you were talking about before posting next time.
Oh, I was probably five years old at the time, must have been easy for me to be working in Scarsdale in 2001, and was up the twin towers 40 days before and even had a flight out of Newark for the 18th September. All that at 5 years old huh? You must think I'm some kind of genius.
Oh, and to prove your genius, you start with an insult, well done.
So, Bush comes out and says the US wasn't at war with Islam, then went and made it happen. Actions speak a lot louder than words. I could give you a million examples of the US govt saying one thing and doing something completely different.
The simple facts are this. You want bad guys, just get arabic looking guys, you want evil music, arabic music.
But, here's the thing. I'm going to ask you to prove that Bush said "it's not all of Islam that's bad".
I'm not claiming that Bush actually said all of Islam is bad. I'm saying he made Islam the common enemy through doing what he did.
What I can show is that Bush claimed Saddam had al Qaeda links, and he claimed it many times. Why do you think he'd get an Muslim terrorist group and a Muslim leader to look like they were in cahoots?

President Bush's Speech to Congress Declaring War on terror - Full Text of George W. Bush's Speech to Congress Declaring War on Terror
"Full Text: President Bush Declares "War on Terror"
Speech to a Joint Session of Congress, Sept. 20, 2001"
"The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics, a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children."
So, if he said it was a fringe form, how did he connect this with Saddam? How did he managed to make so many americans come out and say "Muslims are bad"?
How many Americans really hate Muslims?

Poll: Many Americans uncomfortable with Muslims ? CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs
"Poll: Many Americans uncomfortable with Muslims" (from 2011).
"Nearly half of Americans would be uncomfortable with a woman wearing a burqa, a mosque being built in their neighborhood or Muslim men praying at an airport. Forty-one percent would be uncomfortable if a teacher at the elementary school in their community were Muslim.
Forty-seven percent of survey respondents said the values of Islam are at odds with American values."
There's a lot of information out there that shows that there are quite a few Americans who simply hate Muslims. They do this because they have been told to hate Muslims and they believe what they have been fed.
