Donald Trump on Obama's mosque visit: 'Maybe he feels comfortable there'
Business Insider ^ | 2/3/2016 | Maxwell Tani

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump said on Wednesday that US President Barack Obama may have visited a Maryland mosque because "he feels comfortable there." During an interview with Greta Van Susteren, the Fox News host asked Trump about the visit. "President Obama went to a mosque today in Baltimore to talk about religious tolerance and to talk about the contributions Muslims have made in the United States," she said. "Your thoughts about that?" Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, said that although he didn't have much of an opinion about the issue, Obama could have visited somewhere else instead. "I don't have much thought. I think that you can got to lots of places," Trump said. "I don't know, maybe he feels comfortable there."

He added: "We have a lot of problems in this country, Greta. There are a lot of places you can go, and he chose a mosque. That's his decision, that's fine." Obama's visit to the Baltimore mosque was apparently in reaction to Trump, who has pledged to bar Muslims from entering the US if elected president. Obama spoke at length there about the contributions that Muslims have made to America, and appeared to allude to Trump's plan when he called political rhetoric that alienates Muslims "inexcusable." "Inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslims that has no place in our country," Obama said. "It's no surprise then that threats against Muslims have surged."

Obama continued: "We can't be bystanders to bigotry. Together, we've got to show that America truly protects all faiths. As we protect our country from terrorism, we should not reinforce the ideas and the rhetoric of the terrorists themselves..."

I was wondering when someone would pick up on that. I loved it.

Obama stands with all Muslims, because he cannot separate Muslims from radical Islamic terrorists. Trump stands with us.US.

“Obama spoke at length there about the contributions that Muslims have made to America”

This gets repeated ad nauseam but never any specific examples.

Surely you jest !!

They have brought terrorism, rape, intimidation, whining, self segregation, chaos to their employers by wanting prayer breaks instead of working (Ariens).

Sarcasm off !!

Because there aren’t any.
There weren’t any muslims here until the 20th century and they weren’t really muslims, they kind of played at it making up most of it as they went along.
Real muslims didn’t start arriving until the 1960’s.

Muslims are part of the democrat “coalition of the oppressed,” and will be given a pass on any atrocious behavior, just like blacks are given a pass. Muslims and blacks are carrying out an extensive “War on Women” with real casualties, yet the “feminists” don’t say a word about either.

War on Women. Good point. The percentage of female execs in Trump’s businesses is far above the average, yet he gets dumped on as anti-woman.

Mr. Trump worded his comment just right. Obama was shoveling dirt in Donald's face and he didn't rise to the bait.

In all truth, Trump's one-liner was his usual mailed fist in a velvet glove, LOL.
