I do not believe that he bought a copy of the Quran in order to glean "knowledge and wisdom," but rather to better understand America's enemies Obama is on record as stating that "Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding."

Muslim pirates helped to kick start the US Navy into existence. Anchors aweigh Islam!
