Question

What is Bush’s message to Muslims?

The United States knows that the terrorists accurately represent Islam.

The United States knows that most Muslims do not share the beliefs of the terrorists.

The United States knows which governments support the terrorists and which do not.
I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. It’s practiced freely by many millions of Americans, and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah. The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them.

–President Georg

Answer 1

Choice 2. Bush’s message is that most Muslims do not share the beliefs of the terrorists — the terrorists are traitors who “hijack Islam,” while Islam itself is peaceful and respected by the U.S. (Choices 1 and 3 are not supported by the passage.)
