George W Bush makes it quite clear in this transcript that the "Almighty
God" he believes in is the same one that Muslims, Christians, or any
other religion pray to. Sounds like a "New Age" belief system to me.

Interview of the President by Al Arabiya

THE PRESIDENT: Sure. I want to show you the Rose Garden, one of the most
famous areas --

Q It's a great chance for me. I heard, Mr. President, also that you are
receiving an Iftaar --

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am.

Q -- in the White House, which is, of course, a Muslim ritual

THE PRESIDENT: It is.

Q But I want to tell you -- and I hope this doesn't bother you at all --
that in the Islamic world they think that President Bush is an enemy of
Islam --

THE PRESIDENT: Sure.

Q -- that he wants to destroy their religion, what they believe in. Is that
in any way true, Mr. President?

THE PRESIDENT: No, it's not. I've heard that, and it just shows [sic] to
show a couple of things: One, that the radicals have done a good job of
propagandizing. In other words, they've spread the word that this really
isn't peaceful people versus radical people or terrorists, this is really
about the America not liking Islam.

Well, first of all, I believe in an almighty God, and I believe that all
the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays
to the same God. That's what I believe. I believe that Islam is a great
religion that preaches peace. And I believe people who murder the innocent
to achieve political objectives aren't religious people, whether they be a
Christian who does that -- we had a person blow up our -- blow up a federal
building in Oklahoma City who professed to be a Christian, but that's not a
Christian act to kill innocent people.

Q Exactly.

Cheers, Steve..
