What a bunch of BS. Islam has been part of America in the sense that Columbus looked for a way to get to India because the Muslim Turks took Constantinople in 1453. Also, one might add that the first overseas expedition of the new US was against the Islamic Barbary Coast pirates. He mention Adams and Jefferson owning Korans. Well Obama failed to mention both men did not have kind things to say about Islam. The only good thing is the first foreign country to recognize the US was the Kingdom of Morocco.

If Adams and Jefferson owned korans, it would fall under the “know your enemy” classification.

Obama is sharing his “faith.”

Yes, the fight against Islam has always been a part of our country. The US navy was created to fight Muslim pirates and slavers. That’s why the marine’s song says: to the shores of Tripoli

Patton read the Koran on the ship ride to the invasion of N. Africa.
“To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. . . . Here, I think, is a text for some eloquent sermon on the virtues of Christianity.â€

Yeah...when the Barbary pirates abducted the US Consul from Naples for ransom....and the Marines were first in action.

If you mean that in the sense that “germans nazis were a part of America in the 1940’s”, then many US presidents from Jefferson to Bush would agree.
To: C19fan
Well, at least for the past 15 years it has been.

Precisely. The influence the Koran had on our culture? Is there a number less than zero?

Muslims and the pedophile goat humping Muhammad following homo sexuals have nothing to do with the creation of the United States other than the creation of the Marines who killed the inbred retarded idiots.
Wipe them out, all of them. Muslims are a disease. They are a disease on all humanity.
