Obama’s trip to Baltimore mosque is good for the country: White House

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.

.."So I think this would be an appropriate venue for the president to make clear that Muslim Americans make a valuable contribution to the success of our country..

Yeah, we're quite familiar with muslim contributions to America.


Any other "muslim contributions" you can think of?

A trip to jail by Obama—permanently—would be even better for the country.

Well WHAT THE @#$@#$ did people think he meant when he said “fundamentally transform”?

The most fundamental thing about America is the constitution.

so he wasn’t lying.

It may be important to his agenda of taqquiya to further Islam, but in no way does Islam benefit America.

Quite the opposite.

Islam is a clear and present danger

Has been for the United States since its founding.

Jefferson sent the Marines on their first foreign adventure to deal with them.

Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.

Try to imagine this headline, mid-morning, Tuesday, September 11, 2001; That this would be part of America’s future.
