Obama’s Speech in Cairo

JUNE 4, 2009

The following is a text of President Obama’s prepared remarks to the Muslim world, delivered on June 4, 2009, as released by the White House.

excerpt:

As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.

Yes, we all knew earlier on that Obama was bent on traducing the UNited States. His final act is yet unknown, but the Iran Nuclear Treaty will assure that war will happen in the ME.

I marvel at how dumb people are in the media especially, who talk about Obama incompetence as the cause of this debacle.

Obama’s conduct is willful, and it is treasonous,and people are afraid to say it.Maybe someone will step up.
