Schroeder is all for believing in something, as long as it meets with his approval

As long as it doesn’t cause one to have any sort of conscience. Out of power, and dictating terms, he said:

"What worried me, despite a relaxed atmosphere to our talks, and to a certain degree what made me sceptical was how much it came through that this president saw himself as 'God-fearing' and saw that as the highest authority."

As long as it doesn’t inform your moral framework - ever. Of President Bush, who is not a fundamentalist, but a member of the diversity-obsessed Methodist Church:

"We criticise rightly that in most Islamic states the role of religion for society and the character of the rule of law are not clearly separated. But we fail to recognise that in the US, Christian fundamentalists and their interpretation of the Bible have similar tendencies."

Interpretation, ironically, that Mr. Bush is famously though to take, but doesn’t. As for extending that right that “he’ll permit” a Muslim nation to have that America shouldn’t (according to him), I can only wonder who this man (who seems to have the soul of a moth) thinks he’s in any position to impose his near-absent belief system on others.

It must be nice to be big-macher European leftoid. Facts never have to get in the way of masturbating your own ego.
