Here’s President Bush’s speech at the Islamic Center of Washington DC: President Bush Rededicates Islamic Center of Washington.
The news: Bush is appointing an envoy to one of the world’s most implacable hate-filled groups, the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
To underscore America’s respect for the Muslim faith here at home, I came to this Center six days after the 9/11 attacks to denounce incidents of prejudice against Muslim Americans. (Applause.) Today I am announcing a new initiative that will improve mutual understanding and cooperation between America and people in predominately Muslim countries.
I will appoint a special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference. This is the first time a President has made such an appointment to the OIC. (Applause.) Our special envoy will listen to and learn from representatives from Muslim states and will share with them America’s views and values. This is an opportunity for Americans to demonstrate to Muslim communities our interest in respectful dialogue and continued friendship.
Most Americans probably have no idea what the OIC is all about. But we’ve been covering them at LGF for years—and what they’re all about is blind, virulent hatred of the West, open antisemitism, and enabling of jihad.
Take a walk down memory lane: LGF search: “Islamic Conference”.
