"I was a little Jakarta street kid," he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent [AOFM - the opening lines are "Allahu Akbar" and (in Arabic) "There is no God but Allah". A wonderfully Christian thing to blurt out, right?]. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.) [AOFM - Ohhh ho ho ho what a great joke, those pickup-truck-driving gun-hugging Jesus-loving NASCAR-watching pro-wrestling-believing bucktoothed redneck rubes! OOOOH HO HO HO WE AM SMARTZ THEY AM DUMBZ!]

Our biggest mistake since World War II has been a lack of sensitivity to other people’s nationalism, from Vietnam to Iraq. Perhaps as a result of his background, Mr. Obama has been unusually sensitive to such issues and to the need to project respect rather than arrogance. He has consistently shown great instincts.

Did you know that Americans have been killed by the very terrorist detainees that they have released from GTMO?

Did you know that the government has figures on how many Americans have been killed as a result of releasing these detainees from GTMO?

Did you know that the government has deemed it CLASSIFIED information that may damage the security of the nation by telling us?

Agreed. We are at war. But they are the only ones fighting. Islam is a scourge on earth.

War is coming. A full out world war.

Her facial expression afterwards punctuates it. No way exists for her to have said they folded it nicely with that expression.

And then the paki attack on Christians and then the crucification of a priest.
What will it be today by the muzzies?
What atrocity will the muzzie in the WH want US to forgive tomorrow?

Stigmatizing is similar to stereotyping. The reason people do it is because more than not it works. PC bans stereotyping.

Political Correctness is an attack on common sense and reality. It makes people blind and stupid in order to appease certain groups, and advance the leftist agenda.

The muslims have had 14 centuries to stigmatize themselves with no help from us. Their actions speak louder than Obama’s lying words.

No way would he have passed up $10M from a Saudi prince. He is devoid of any moral principles to guide him to do so.
