达拉斯—— 随着9·11事件25周年纪念日临近，前总统乔治·W·布什回顾了他在袭击发生六天后前往清真寺的决定，称他希望美国穆斯林知道，他们不该为这起恐怖主义袭击负责。
“之后不久我就做出了前往清真寺的决定，”布什在周三晚间说道。“我这么做是因为我深切关注到有关蒙面女性在购物中心遭骚扰的报道，尤其是在密歇根州。”
布什在达拉斯总统图书馆举行的“服务遗产：美国纪念9·11事件25周年”活动中，与前国务卿康多莉扎·赖斯座谈时重温了自己对9·11事件的应对举措。
此次清真寺访问成为布什应对袭击事件的标志性举动，他希望借此将伊斯兰教徒和美国穆斯林与制造9·11袭击的恐怖分子区分开来。袭击发生六天后，布什到访华盛顿伊斯兰中心，并发表了“伊斯兰即和平”的讲话。

2007年6月27日，乔治·W·布什总统在华盛顿特区为伊斯兰中心重新奉献仪式上发表讲话。
“我逐渐意识到，如果这是一场意识形态斗争——正如我所认为的那样——而我们放弃了自身意识形态中最重要的部分之一，即按照自己的意愿礼拜的自由，”布什说道。
“我想请你聊聊其中几件事。你提到过前往伊斯兰中心，希望确保我们的美国穆斯林公民知道，我们并没有因为所发生的事情而指责他们，”赖斯说道。

“我还明确表示，伊斯兰教是和平的宗教，而非战争的宗教，这些人玷污了他们的宗教，”布什补充道。
布什于9月17日到访华盛顿伊斯兰中心，试图清晰区分伊斯兰教与制造近3000名美国人死亡的恐怖分子。
他会见了穆斯林领袖，并专门提及对戴头巾的穆斯林女性的担忧，称他得知有些女性因害怕受到恐吓而不敢离家或购物。
“这种情况在美国不应该发生，也绝不会发生，”他在2001年说道。

DALLAS – As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, former President George W. Bush reflected on his decision to visit a mosque six days after the attacks, saying he wanted Muslim Americans to know they were not to blame for the terrorism.
“This decision, shortly thereafter, was to go to a mosque,” Bush said on Wednesday evening. “I did so because I was deeply concerned about stories of women in coverings being harassed at shopping centers, particularly in Michigan.”
Bush revisited his 9/11 response during a conversation with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at “A Legacy of Service: America at the 25th Anniversary of 9/11,” held at his presidential center in Dallas.
The mosque visit became a prominent part of Bush’s response to the attacks as he sought to distinguish Islam and Muslim Americans from the terrorists responsible for 9/11. Six days after the attacks, Bush visited the Islamic Center of Washington, where he declared, “Islam is peace.”
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: 9/11 IS JUST A HISTORY CHAPTER FOR A NEW GENERATION OF AMERICANS
President George W. Bush speaks during the rededication ceremony of the Islamic Center on June 27, 2007, in Washington, D.C.
“It became clear to me that if this was an ideological struggle, which is what I viewed it as, and we forego one of the most important parts of our ideology, which is the freedom to worship the way you want to worship,” said Bush.
“I want you to talk about a couple of those events. You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn’t blame them for what had happened,” said Rice.

“I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace, not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion,” Bush added.
Bush visited the Islamic Center of Washington on Sept. 17, where he sought to draw a sharp distinction between Islam and the terrorists responsible for killing nearly 3,000 Americans.
He met with Muslim leaders and specifically raised concerns about Muslim women who wore head coverings, saying he had been told some were afraid to leave their homes or go shopping because they feared being intimidated.
“That should not and that will not stand in America,” he said in 2001.
