And there is nothing wrong with Muslims or Hindus or whatever religion you care to pick feeling they should follow who they feel is their God! It's when they say that YOU also must follow that God or be killed that it becomes an issue. Bush is not saying you must be Christian (abortion and gay issue aside for now) or die!

You should revise that as it sounds to me, through your writing that you imply the Christian God and Islamic God are two separate concepts. Islam and Hindu should not be lumped together. You should be replacing "Follow that God" with "Follow that set of religious tenets." You do know that (for the most part) Islam is the same as Christianity except for Jesus being demoted to a major prophet and Mohammad being the final revelation, right?
Also, from this statement, "It's when they say that YOU also must follow that God or be killed that it becomes an issue.", It seems like you don't understand what has happened.
Al Qaeda did not attack us because we are Christian. Al Qaeda attacked us because they saw western society encroaching on Islamic nations again. They had just gotten rid of us in the 1960's with the end of colonialism. People like Osama saw America trying to start that up again in the first Gulf War, especially with the establishment of military bases. 9/11 is based on cultural protectionism, not religious fevor.
For that reason Bush's statement of "They hate us for our freedom" is so disgusting. It just shows that we have learned nothing from 9/11 and our leadership has absolutely no idea of how to deal with the Arabic psyche. And that right there is where the real "War on Terror" needs to be fought.

How can Kerry Win? Convince me he has strong beliefs and that he will stick by them would be a good starting point for me.
