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," Mr 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," he 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,'' he said. Among the guests Mr Obama praised was Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir.

They were here plotting, financing and training.

Until Cheney went after them, on 9/12/2001. Best thing he ever did.

And while Janet Reno was chasing kooks, she let the real islamic terrorists hit the World Trade Center in 1993.

Now, I’m afraid history is going to repeat itself.

Has anyone ever heard him mention the contributions made by Christians and Jews? Maybe we could have just slacked off and let the wonderful muslims build everything!

I believe you are correct...

I had heard of terrorists in the Middle East, but never knew how many were in our Country until 9/11..Never heard of the Taliban and the World Trade Center in 1993 I think most people thought it was truly a isolated incident...

I knew they were coming here and coming for us. The attack on the USS Cole confirmed that in late 2000.

They were already killing Jews via Yasser Arafat’s war on Israel. He continued his muzzie war to the end.

Iftar (إفطار) refers to the evening meal for breaking sawm (fasting) during the Islamic month of Ramadan.

How American as apple pie is that?

It takes one to know one, and if this doesn’t tell America “who and what” they have elected, then nothing will. Remember the Barry Soretoro research by:

Conservatives see foreign entities that intend to destroy our society as “the enemy”.

“Liberals” see conservatives as the biggest threat to their power, so conservatives are the target of the state when the left is in power.

No, no. America is part of Islam, at least in al-Baracki's mind.

When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that’s made brothers and sisters out of every race — out of every race.

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.

(George W. Bush - September 22, 2001)

Let us not forget "Al-taqiyya"

Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.

Let us NEVER forget those nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Don’t let Obama desecrate the memory of those Americans who were murdered by his fellow Muslims. Send this video to everyone you know.
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 untold millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
(Sadly, the New Yorker who made this video has since succumbed to lung damage sustained during the attack)
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. It is truly awesome.
