Allah

I am a SWAMP (straight white Anglo-Saxon male Protestant), and not that informed about Islam.
I perceive that the three monotheistic religions all believe in the same G-d. The radical Muslims want to separate themselves from the other People of the Book, but I don't believe that Mohammed ever intended that to be the case. Did he not perceive Moses and Jesus to be Prophets? And was not Abraham considered to be the father of all Jews and Arabs?
Bush is not the stupid cowboy that some want to depict him as. However, he is dead wrong about illegal immigrants and the failure to close our borders to them.
It must really be galling to the intellectual elite to be defeated by someone they have so much disregard for.
