In a special weekly address, celebrating the 4th of July, President Barack Obama said that Americans are free to worship as they pleasewhich mirrors language in the Iraqi constitution, but contrasts with the First Amendment to our own constitution which denies government any power to prohibit the free exercise of religion.
Obamas reference to freedom of worship rather than free exercise of religion is not a new onebut it is a telling one.
Obama speaks of freedom of worship rather than the free exercise of religion, because at this very momenton this 4th of Julyhe is attacking the free exercise of religion and denying it to Christians of multiple denominations who insist that his administration has no right to issue regulations forcing them into complicity with the taking of innocent human lives.

Maybe he meant to say “Free to submit” (to Allah), perhaps?

God humbled King Nebuchadnezzar when he was proud and arrogant and gave him a mind and heart of wild animal of the field.
God caused him to go and eat in the field for 7 years as his finger nails and nails on his feet grew long and his hair on his body grew long and became matted with the dew and he must have smelled really bad.
Daniel 4
32. You will be forced away from people and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle. And seven time periods will pass until you realize that the Most High has power over human kingdoms and that he gives them to whomever he wishes.
33. Just then the prediction about Nebuchadnezzar came true. He was forced away from people and ate grass like cattle. Dew from the sky made his body wet until his hair grew as long as eagles feathers and his nails grew as long as birds claws.
This is what Nebuchadnezzar had to say after God humbled him.
34. At the end of the seven time periods, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my mind came back to me. I thanked the Most High, and I praised and honored the one who lives forever, because his power lasts forever and his kingdom lasts from one generation to the next. 35 Everyone who lives on earth is nothing compared to him. He does whatever he wishes with the army of heaven and with those who live on earth. There is no one who can oppose him or ask him, What are you doing?
