In the excerpt shared Tuesday, Bush says that the "face of terror is not the true faith of Islam."

"That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace," Bush said in the speech. "These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war."

The former president argued that Muslims make "an incredible valuable contribution to our country" and said they must be "treated with respect."

"In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect," he said.
