Put aside the more sensational aspects of these statements. I just don’t get them on a basic level. How did Muslims “build” this nation? They have not been a part of its history until very recently. The statement is complete, unthinking nonsense. A meaningless platitude.
And because Obama is liberal, he will not be called out on this ridiculous statement about Muslims.
The way liberalism and political correctness work, anyone taking issue with what he said, will be accused of Islamophobia. And then when the PC accusations go out, that’s the end of the discussion. Instead of discussing the factual error of what he said, now we end up having to defend against charges of Islamophobia. That’s how liberalism and politically correct theology work.
