Evangelical outrage over Bush's 'same God' remark

Evangelical American Christians have turned on President George W Bush after he said, at a press conference with Tony Blair, that Christians and Muslims worshipped the same God.

Mr Blair side-stepped the invitation to discuss his religious faith in public but Mr Bush followed his practice and declared: "I believe we worship the same God."

Though a born-again Christian who has wooed evangelicals and other religious conservatives, since the September 11 attacks Mr Bush has taken pains to defend Islam as a religion of peace, and deny any religious component to the war on terror.

But his comments received a swift rebuke from Christian leaders, and caused shock on religious talk radio stations.

The Baptist Press news service published a rebuttal from Richard D Land, head of the ethics and religious commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant church in America, with 10 million members.

Though applauding Mr Bush as a man of deep faith, Mr Land said the president was "Commander-in-Chief, not theologian-in-chief", and was "simply mistaken".

Leading American evangelic ministers have previously described Islam as a violent religion.
