"It's something the president definitely disagrees with. The president has said that Islam is a religion of peace."

--Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary when asked June 20 about remarks of Southern Baptist Jerry Vines before fellow pastors in St. Louis, calling Muhammad a "demon-possessed pedophile' and saying Allah turns people into terrorists. Fleischer agreed with a reporter's description of Vine's words as a "bigoted thing to say."
