I deleted a spurious quotation widely attributed to George Washington on many sites, as it has been thoroughly debunked. The link I made in my comment was poorly made though, and should have been directed to w:Talk:George_Washington#Jews where more material on this, with links to debunking pages could be found, rather to than the Washington article itself. Here are some of the relevant links provided there:

7 July 2005 London bombings

• Whoever does such a thing is not a Muslim, nor a religious person. This is the kind of criminal act that serves only those who wish to destroy mankind, and to thwart civilization and progress. Igniting civil strife and using the tools of war and destruction is the habit of the despicable Jews and Christians of the ancient nations, and the Koran has already deplored them for that.
  • Unnamed preacher, referring to the London subway bombings of 2005, as quoted in "Terror in London (4) — United Arab Emirates Friday Sermon: Igniting Civil Strife is the Habit of Jews and Christians, not Muslims" (8 July 2005)

I put this back.--Inesculent 06:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed it again. I don't see what this has to do with Jews. Surely the subject of this quotation is either the london bombings themselves, or religious terrorists. --Ubiquity 12:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
