Obama praises Islam at Ramadan dinner
AFP ^ | Sept. 1, 2009

Posted on 09/01/2009 7:55:03 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

US President Barack Obama praised Islam as an integral part of America, as he feted prominent US Muslims at an Iftar dinner marking the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

"For well over a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and reflection," Obama said, in remarks welcoming his guests in the State Dining Room of the White House.

"Tonight's Iftar is a ritual that is being carried out this Ramadan at kitchen tables and mosques in all 50 states," Obama said.

"Islam as we know is part of America. Like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity.

"On this occasion, we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched America and its culture in ways both large and small," the president said.

If Obama observes the fast he will blow away. I noticed that last couple of times he commanded my tv and before I changed the channel that he is getting pretty skinny.

"The president also recognized the first two Muslim lawmakers in the US Congress, Keith Ellison and Andre Carson."

Keith Ellison is an apostate from Roman Catholicism.

He took full advantage of the educational resources provided by our Faith, then apostasized to the false religion of Mohammed.

Catholics may not in any way support such public apostates from the true Faith.

This is nauseating. I am repulsed by this. muslims should go to countries where no Christianity is allowed, and stay there. Like Perot used to say — “We need to give them the same deal they give us...”

I agree with Ann. Kill their leaders and force the survivors to convert to Christianity. Bring back the crusade. Just as Alfonso defeated the Moors and forced conversions of the remainder, America must do the same to survive. Otherwise we end up just like Eurabia.

Hmmm, I wonder if he meant to say all 57 states.

You don’t actually believe Obama is a Muslim? He obviously isn’t. He’s a leftist. They like Muslim’s for “multicultural” reasons, but they don’t agree with them a lot. You think Obama is pro-life?

Any thoughtful person who knows history and religion would be anti-Islam. Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than just about anything else since the last asteroid impact. Islam was started by predators. It has spread by predation. It has lived off the decaying corpses of the civilizations it has destroyed. It is a vast, ancient sea of corruption, oppression, fanaticism, and ignorance lapping up against the shores of the present, kept alive by the fortuitous accident of living above huge reserves of petroleum.

Islam is an integral part of the United States? It has enriched our culture in ways large and small?

Maybe I have been out of the loop, but can somebody give me even one example of how Islam is an integral part of the US, and how it has enriched us in any way?

I can’t take much more of this, I really can’t. My head is going to explode.

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams from My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.

From ‘Dreams from my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

.

On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet? “

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.

Rosh Hashanah begins on Friday the 18th. I'm looking forward to Obama saying:

"Tonight's seder is a ritual that is being carried out this Rosh Hashanah at kitchen tables and synagogues in all 50 states."

“Islam is an integral part of America”? What part is that? The so-called honor killing of daughters? The beheading of infidels? The stoning of wives who happen to glance at another man? The circumcision of girls? Just what “integral part” is the moron Obozo talking about? Or maybe I should ask what color is the sky on his planet?

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic . We must not forget those almost 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists. Don't let Obama desecrate the memory of those who lost their lives at the hands of his fellow Muslim murderers. Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack: http://attacked911.tripod.com/ This video has been viewed by millions and is now in the Smithsonian. The video includes the planes crashing into the buildings and victims jumping. There are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Enya. Awesome. .

Where is the alcu? If these were Baptists the alcu would let out a cry,”Separation of Church and State” that could be heard on the other side of the Milky Way.

"Islam as we know is part of America. Like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity.

Take note that while non-muslim communities are encouraged to become more "diverse" through the inclusion of muslims, a community which definitively excludes non-muslims (the "muslim community" itself) is somehow diverse. His usage serves to confirm my longstanding suspicion that the word "diversity" has only been a leftist code word used all this while to generally mean "less traditional western" and, more specifically, "less white Christian".

I live in a state not close to New York. I still light 2 candles for the victims and their families every 9-11. I will til the day I die. I didn’t lose a specific person in the 9-11 Muslim Terror attacks. I lost a lot of people in the 9-11 Muslim Terror Attacks. Personally I didn’t know any of them. But they were my American brothers and sisters.

The speech Obam will never make: Just substitute “Christian” for Islam.
__________

US President Barack Obama praised Christianity as an integral part of America, as he feted prominent US Christians at an Easter dinner marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“For well over a billion Christians, Easter is a time of intense devotion and reflection,” Obama said, in remarks welcoming his guests in the State Dining Room of the White House.

“Today's Easter Celebration is being carried out this Resurrection Day at kitchen tables and churches in all 50 states,” Obama said.

“Christianity as we know is part of America. Like the broader American citizenry, the American Christian community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity.

“On this occasion, we celebrate the holy day of Easter and we also celebrate how much Christians have enriched America and its culture in ways both large and small,” the president said.

The president also recognized the Christian lawmakers in the US Congress.

In a message marking Maundy Thursday last week, Obama pledged “concrete actions” to renew ties with Christian countries, less than three months after his historic address to the Christian world in Rome.

“I want to reiterate my commitment to a new beginning between America and Christians around the world,” Obama said in a video address posted as the world's estimated 1.5 billion Christians prepared for a day of celebration and reflection.
