One thing that was noticeable when the House of Commons had its special debate on Friday was that both party leaders made a point of stressing that there was no way in which this was a conflict with Muslims on the other side, and that it'd be totally wrong to see it in those terms, and the MP's applauded. And in the St Paul's memorial service later the same day. Muslim clerics (as well as the Chief Rabbi, Buddhists, and so forth) were very visibly present.

Has the same been true in the American equivalent? For example has Bush emphasised that kind of thing? I'm not suggesting he hasn't, but I haven't noticed it in the clips I've seen.
