Barack Obama’s Latest Crackpot Claim: “Islam Has Always Been a Part of America”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8-13-10 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/13/2010 10:40:50 AM PDT by Justaham

In his annual Ramadan statement released yesterday Barack Obama claimed that,

“Islam has always been a a part of America.”

From the White House website:

On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared. But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country. And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.

I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.

....Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings......

I thought this was farcical at first, but now I realize he's actually serious, and that makes it all the more disturbing. Sure Obamster, Force women to cover themselves, Keep them out of schools, Stone them to death for being raped by muslim males who know they will go free after the act. Tolerance? Dignity?? Progress??? Obama, you are a Fraud and a disgustingly dangerous fraud at that.

Were there Muslims among the passengers of Mayflower? I don’t think so!

Our relationship started right after the War of Independence when they battled the Barbary Pirates so the they have been with us for a long time.

Thanks, I was going to mention that the only time islam has been a part of America was when we whipped ass on the Barbary pirates.

Reminds me of the hilarious line from Field of Dreams: “There’s always been Baseball.”

Actually, no there hasn’t. It’s fairly new.

The worst thing he did was drag America and the American people into this load of BS.

I am sure the vast majority of Americans of all races would like to see all Muslims expelled back to where they came from. And the majority in Europe feel the same way.
Obama can starve himself for Allah if he wants to. He can have his glorious precious Ramadan, but even as President, he has no right to drag our country into this barbaric cult of torture, murder, and death.
Not ‘we’, Obama.
Not ‘us’, Obama.

When you are speaking and sucking up to your fellow Muzzie lunatics, the same people who attacked us, the same people shooting at us and plotting our murder all over the globe, learn how to use the word ‘I’.

Don’t think they had the right to practice their religion or for that matter don’t think they had any rights. Maybe in hidden manner.

There was one scene in ROOTS where character of Kunta Kinte is shown trying to pray the Muslim way but being denied or advised not to.

Our president is a leader of the useful idiot movement of Americans who want to bring the idolatrous practices of Islam into maintstream and main street America. Or he is simply a useful idiot for those who seek to overtake America, and remake the USA into a 3rd world hellhole. September 11th. Never forget. Vigilance.

Unlikely that many American slaves were Muslims, because the Muslim controlled slave trade in Afric aimed their raids at Christians and pagans, just as they do today.

Many early slaves were Muslims.

I highly doubt that.

First, Islam hadn't made much of a dent in sub-Saharan West Africa at that point.

Second, Muslims were the enslavers not the enslaved. Europeans were in many cases buying slaves from Muslim traders, who would be disinclined to sell a Muslim to a kafir.

Third, various African religions have survived in the New World -Vodun, Candomble, Batuque, Macumba, etc. How could dozens of local animist religions from up and down the coast of West Africa survive and be handed down for generations in the Carribean and Brazil and Islam die out?

If there were any number of Muslim slaves, there would be a continuous, traceable history of Islam in the New World the way there is for Vodun.
