One of the things I enjoy about this website is the opportunity to educate, edify, and challenge us all to think beyond the obvious. Now I realize some folks are — as we say in the military — “stuck on stupid” and it will take longer to get them with the program. But it is a challenge I accept.
So, in that light, I’d like to invite you to scour the annals of American history in order to respond to President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent assertion that Muslims have contributed “to building the very fabric or our nation.”
As reported by Breitbart “On Sunday, President Obama and First Lady Michelle released a statement thanking Muslim Americans for their many “achievements and contributions… to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.”
“The comments were made to mark the celebration of Eid-al-Fitr, a time of spiritual renewal for Muslims which comes at the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan. The Obamas said in their statement that Eid “celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity” and “welcomed their commitment to giving back to their communities.” “
I’d like some audience participation here. Please share what you think are the “achievements and contributions” for which we should all thank Muslim Americans in building the very fabric of our nation? Oh – and don’t forget “common values” — please share those as well.
I’ll go first. And I’ll go way back. I know Abraham was the father of all nations and he was Isaac and Ishmael’s dad. And in Genesis 16:11-12, (NIV) ” The angel of the Lord also said to her (Hagar): You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
So to Muslims, I say thank you for being a part of the Judeo-Christian foundation that established this great nation. And I am thankful for this Bible verse so I understand God’s blessing upon what would ultimately lead to the growth of violent jihad.
Muslims owned the Slave Markets
Obama has embraced our enemies.
As we all should know by now, our PINO is no scholar, and certainly knows very little about the history of these “57 States of America.” However, he is absolutely correct about the short-term history since 2008 when ‘once a muslim always a muslim’ Soetoro usurped the presidency and began his fundamental transformation - I would love to know how many in his Administration are defacto muslims (Brennan comes to mind).
“to building the very fabric or our nation”
What is Obama’s definition of the term “our nation”?
Muslims convinced Congress to build a navy and the USS Constitution to fight the Barbary Pirates.
Well they did manage to wake up a portion of our population to the fact that there are evil people in the world who want to kill us.
Why, without the muslims, we’d have never had a Navy! The U.S. Marines wouldn’t have a theme song!
When did “Moslems” become “Muslims”?? Years ago people spoke of Moslems, not Muslims.
I would love to know an example of Muslims who helped build the fabric of our country. There were very few Muslims in this country prior to the liberalized immigration law passed in 1965.
And what “fabric”? Non porous and unbreathable polyester?
Well to be fair, Muslims did add trillions of dollars in spending to rebuild certain areas of New York and Washington DC.
Right after they crashed airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
That counts for something, right?
Libtards can say anything delusional they like. It doesn't have to actually correspond to reality.It only has to make them feel good inside.
bttt
The only fabric is the one that covers their women’s faces.
Basically, it’s say something nice about them or risk having fatwas issued against you (or worse, more likely) …
“When did “Moslems” become “Muslims”?? Years ago people spoke of Moslems, not Muslims.”
I prefer Mohammedans.
(Do I have to point out that changing one single word in the paragraph above to "Jewish" would make my statement absolutely correct? Didn't think so.)
However, the LIVs will lap it up as if it were the gospel truth.
