At Baltimore mosque, President Obama encourages U.S. Muslims: âYou fit in hereâ
By Michelle Boorstein February 3 at 2:50 PM
President Obama Wednesday delivered the comforting sermon to U.S. Muslims that their community leaders have been requesting for years, framing Islam as deeply American and its critics as violating the nationâs cherished value of religious freedom. Obamaâs comments came in his first visit as president to a U.S. mosque.
The historic 45-minute speech at a large, suburban Baltimore mosque was attended by some of the countryâs most prominent Muslims. In what appeared to be a counter to the rise in Islamophobia, Obama celebrated the long history of Muslim achievement in American life from sports to architecture and described Muslims as Cub Scouts, soldiers and parents, pointing out the mother of the premed college student who introduced him at the podium.

Actually Muslims stick out like a sore thumb.

The sore thumb is from Muslims practicing with suicide vest triggers.

Obama admonishes Americans to respect and accept Muslims here, but doesn’t admonish Muslims to quit blowing things up and killing innocents.

I guess from his perspective they didn’t hack his head off or blow him to bloody bits today.

Reading this article made me spiritually ill - like I received a bad supernatural omen and need to pray kind of feeling.
Because you have the ability to discern Evil. Obama is utterly Evil.

Obama deploys an old trick. He publicly invents throngs of racist, “anti-Muslim” Republicans. Then he picks the most controversial Mosque to visit. Anyone who criticizes becomes a racist Islamophobe. Through his immigration policies Obama is flooding the U.S. with Muslims who will become reliable Democrats.
