AgapePress) - A Christian author and an authority on Bible prophecy says evangelicals need to hold President George W. Bush accountable for his rosy attitude towards Islam.
For the fifth straight year, President Bush welcomed Muslims to the White House for the meal after their daytime fast during the month of Ramadan. He has consistently referred to that month-long Islamic holiday as a "holy" observance and to the Quran as "God's word." At this week's Ramadan dinner, Bush even noted that a Quran had been added to the White House library.
Dave Hunt, author of the new book Judgment Day: Israel, Islam, and the Nations (The Berean Call, 2005), says Christians "should not let Bush get away with" his claim that Islam is a noble faith. Political correctness is one thing, he contends, "but you shouldn't lie and say Islam is peace."
Bush "certainly must know better than that," Hunt insists. "Maybe he feels he's forced to do it for political reasons -- I don't know. But, on the other hand, we have another problem: Condoleezza Rice believes in replacement theology. She's a Christian but believes that Israel has been replaced by the Church."
The author of Judgment Day believes President Bush and the United States will one day face judgment by God for pressuring Israel to give its land over to the Palestinians for a so-called Palestinian state. Hunt feels Christians need to speak out against Bush's pro-Palestinian policies and his apparent support for Islam
