Obama: Religious schools encourage division

Obama is talking about the madrassases right?

[Iron Munro]

Only liberals can see racial discrimination in something like genuine religious schools.

I wonder if Obama is also speaking of muslim madrasas.
Or are they classified as military training facilities?

If sincere, Obama could take measures to end the kind of school discrimination he claims he sees in the USA.

He can start by taking his own children out of the elite and private "Sidwell Friends School" in Washington, D.C. and
enrolling them in the low grade government schools that children of the common folk (who pay the bills) have to attend.

What he really means is religion causes division. He’d like to eliminate it all, a la’ Karl.

According to cBS, it was “several hundred”.

Matthew 10:34-35

New International Version (NIV)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—

Why are so many Catholics Democrats. Liberals and Leftists HATE the Catholic Church and most of what it stands for,

[Veto!]

The religious schools that DO encourage division, hatred and war are Islamic schools. Sunni vs Shia.

In a report on Lebanon earlier this week a BBC News reporter wrote, "A Lebanese man called Ahmed Niami, visiting a group of Syrian refugees in the Bekaa Valley, told me that sectarian tension was infecting every part of life.

"If the conflict in Syria is going to go on longer, Lebanon is going to be in a worse state than Syria is in today. If there's a car accident on the street, people run to ask, are you Sunni or Shia… Sectarian divisions have become very, very deep, and it's going to get worse."

Maybe I should post the whole piece on its own thread.

Being baptized as a Baby is no guarantee that you’ll follow the faith when you grow up...

[cookcounty]

Leftists cannot cope with diversity of opinion. To them, disagreement with the Democrat Party is a horrific heresy.

He probably got this idea from monothinker Frank Marshall.

[SMARTY]

“O” REEEEALLLLLY needs to STFU, now!

[boycott]

Regardless of the subject, obamar is a know-it-all dirtbag.

For a clown that never had a real job, he pretty much knows everything.

[cookcounty]

"As someone who knows firsthand how politics can encourage division and discourage cooperation,"

The name "Saul Alinsky" springs to mind. And his acolytes in high places.

[LibsRJerks]

Ok, so basically he’s saying that Catholics stay all cloistered in their schools and don’t integrate with others.

But the reality is, the invitation is ALWAYS there for anyone to a. become a Catholic, b. practice the Faith, and c. send your child to a Catholic school. We have different beliefs ...that is HIS problem.

He basically wants Catholics to abandon their beliefs, then ...Abandon them, join the “group” and then everyone is going to get along like a rainbows and skittles type of thing?

I think we all know what would really happen ...it’s human nature ...one group is ALWAYS going to dominate ....and we know who that would be.

Obama doesn’t understand religion or Christ, or Christians WHATSOEVER. He doesn’t get it. It just doesn’t work that way . ..he is not above Christ — he and many others really seem to have a hard time with that.

[boycott]

They should be called secular Catholics just like some Jews are secular Jews.

I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Christ Jesus the Righteous Lamb of God.

"Obama’s daughters attend a Quaker school..."

Ozero has zero experience with public schools...not as an elementary student, not as a high-schooler, not as a college student, and certainly not as a parent.

[CSM]

If it weren’t for the American Catholics and American Jews who voted for him, he wouldn’t be POTUS today. It is sad that those who support him do so at the expense of their own churches or homeland.

[Soul of the South]

“Up to between 7,000-10,000 on the USA Capitol grounds yesterday. Saw for a while on CSPAN.”

Seven to ten thousand is too small to be noticed by the media. If it isn’t covered in the mainstream media, most Americans won’t even know it happened.

[Old Sarge]

Beat me by THAT much...

[Biggirl]

That is my guess. Wish it was heild on this coming Saturday. More would go.
