Re: Washington's Religious Outlook

Of course, George Washington was an enlightened man. But, let me tell you that, with Muslims, only one approach can possibly work. Muslims can live in Muslim countries and I can live in my own country. I respect them and they respect me. I am not anti-Islam. I respect Islam. But I do believe that Europeans, Americans, Muslims and any other people or nation, are entitled to exist. The idea of having a European Islam or an American Islam is insane.
