Visiting Malaysia’s National Mosque on Sunday, President Obama was asked by the institution’s imam to end oppression against Muslims worldwide, Malaysia’s national press agency Bernama reported.

“Pray for me,” Obama replied, according to Grand Imam Ismail Muhammad, who took him on a 25-minute tour of the mosque, called Masjid Negara in Malay, in Kuala Lumpur. […]

Obama, who wore a dark suit and removed his shoes, also visited and paid his respects at the National Mausoleum at the mosque complex, where former prime ministers and deputy prime ministers are buried.

Malaysia’s Star newspaper quoted Abdullah Muhammad Zin, religious advisor to Prime Minister Najib Razak, as saying it was “not common” for the leader of a superpower to include a visit to a mosque in his itinerary. …

He visits all the big mosques wherever he goes - but I don’t remember him visiting any of the big Christian cathedrals in Europe.

But none dare call him a muzzie...even tho’ he he rubs it in our faces.

Tell the dear Imam that those who are best at oppressing muslims are usually other muslims and that they should clean their own house before presuming to tell us how to clean ours.

End the oppression BY muslims, jerk!
But that would be too much like admitting that they are mad dogs now, wouldn’t it?

[fieldmarshaldj]

They should all be sent into Outer Space... one way.

excerpts:

"“This is out of the ordinary as I cannot recall any non-Muslim world leader visiting the National Mosque and this is a good start for Muslims here,” said Ustaz Wan Akashah Wan Abdul Hamid, a religious scholar.

The news agency also cited a former National Mosque imam, Hassan Mahmood Al-Hafiz, as saying that “the willingness of the world leader to set foot on the Islamic landmark was a good omen, more so when Muslims were being wrongly linked to violence.”

the manner in which he always holds his hands when in a mosque is the same as the muzzies do AND the same as he did in 2008 instead of over his heart during a salute to the flag - but none dare call him a muzzie - WAKE UP AMERICA

The prayer I think he needs would probably reserve my spot in hell. Oh well, so be it.

[samtheman]

Pray for my 73 virgins for me. I can’t. Michelle might find out.

[RightResponse]

Once a Muslim, always a Muslim....

Who needs prayers to a false god?

[Bogey78O]

The mention of “muslims being oppressed” threw me a bit.

It’s like when someone starts a conversation 2ith something so baffling incorrect it derails your thinking. May as well asked Obama if he was going to do anything to stop Churchill’s invasion of Belize.

“The prayer I think he needs would probably reserve my spot in hell. Oh well, so be it”

Many pray that same prayer everyday.......! You’re not alone..

Visiting Malaysia’s National Mosque on Sunday, President Obama was asked by the institution’s imam to end oppression against Muslims worldwide, Malaysia’s national press agency Bernama reported.

It is time to ask the imam exactly what he means by "oppression against Muslims worldwide?" Does "oppression" to them mean that they cannot practice Sharia Law?

But when they do practice Sharia Law they kill Christians and destroy their churches. Is this what Obama is asking for prayers? Perhaps President Obama could explain exactly what he supports in the context of Islam being a religion and political system one and the same.

[ilovesarah2012]

I gladly admit I pray for Obama’s destruction every day.

[abclily]

Obama is a muslim. Can nobody accept that?

[DaveA37]

I’m praying for him but definitely not for the same reasons.

"The 70 year-old cleric said Obama had frequently replied with InsyAllah (Malay for “Allah willing”) "

No comment necessary.
