and at times it seems like a war against a religion, or against something as vague as the islamic way of life. the war that followed after 9/11 did bring an unusual amount of God/Allah into it.

and it was first of all bush that made it into a religious war. osama bin laden (going back to the beginning of this war) said himself that the agenda of al qaeda was to make USA back out of the middle east. not necessarily to promote islam and to end american freedom. (unless that means america's freedom to have a presence in the middle east, of course.)

but when bush responded to 9/11 he responded to "islamic terrorists" and announced that God was on USAs side. and Allah (arabic for god, for those who don't know) ironically became the devil, being the god of the enemy and all.
