Islam is Peace, Says President, a statement delivered by President George W. Bush and published on the archived White House website in 2001, is the primary record of the President's own remarks describing Islam as a religion of peace in the days following the September 11 attacks. As the official archived record of the statement itself, it is fully authoritative for what was said, by whom, and when, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is a political statement made in a specific moment for a specific purpose, not an independent scholarly or theological account of Islam, which needs separate sourcing.

Islam is Peace, Says President, a statement delivered by President George W. Bush and published on the archived White House website in 2001, the top tier reflecting the official archived record of the statement itself, fully authoritative for what was said, by whom, and when. Its limit is that it is a political statement made in a specific moment for a specific purpose, not an independent scholarly or theological account of Islam. NotesThe White House's own press statement, delivered by President George W. Bush, describing Islam as a religion of peace (2001); the official statement itself, not independent scholarly or religious-studies analysis.
