Cleric Calls on Bush to Convert to Islam

A reputed leader of the al-Qaida-linked terror group blamed for deadly bombings across Indonesia on Thursday accused President Bush and Australian Prime Minister John Howard of waging wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir also called on Bush and Howard to convert to Islam, saying it was "the only way to save their souls," adding that families still grieving after the 2002 Bali blasts that killed many foreigners should also become Muslim to find "salvation and peace."

"I feel sorry for the American people, but it seems now they realize he was wrong," Bashir added.

Uh huh. That's gonna happen. What a way to start a Friday.
