The White House said Monday that President Obama's visit to a Baltimore mosque this week is "important for the country" in light of anti-Muslim sentiment from Republican presidential candidates.
Mr. Obama's visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday will be "an opportunity to reaffirm that religious freedom and religious tolerance [are] essential to our way of life in this country," said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
"The president's visit I think, is an important moment to acknowledge those two things," Mr. Earnest said. "No one, whether they're a political candidate or not, should feel like it is acceptable to somehow put those religious freedoms at risk."
Mr. Obama has criticized some of the Republican presidential candidates, notably Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, for proposing a temporary ban on Muslims emigrating to the U.S. or a religious test for refugees entering the country. Many in the GOP, and some congressional Democrats, are opposed to Mr. Obama's program to allow up to 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. this year.
