True standards of religion

I quote from the current issue of an international news magazine. On the subject of Indonesia's chances of attracting fresh foreign investment: "Muslim terrorists operate nationwide". And U.S. President George W. Bush's bill to raise funds to fight AIDS is threatened by arm twisting "by conservative Christian lobbyists".

In the name of God? No. These are examples of blasphemy if measured according to what should be the true standards of any religion.
