Obama: Muslim Americans Are Sporting Heroes – Are They?
breitbart ^ | Dec. 7, 2015 | Raheem Kassam

Posted on 12/07/2015 10:40:43 AM PST by PROCON

U.S. President Barack Obama tonight addressed lectured the American people about the San Bernardino attack, gun control, Islamic State (or rather 'ISIL' - still better than Daesh) and Muslim Americans.

After talking about his plus ça change strategy to tackling the Islamic State, he began telling Americans what they "should not do". Because everyone loves that estranged father who comes back into your life just in time to tell you how to behave.

Curiously, he used this part of his lecture to state:

Muslim-Americans are our friends and our neighbors, our co- workers, our sports heroes. And, yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country. We have to remember that.

~~SNIP~~

1. Kareem Abdul Jabbar

It'd be a stretch, because Mr. Abdul Jabbar is 68 years old. So not exactly current. In 1968, Abdul Jabbar – then named Lew Alcindor - boycotted the U.S. national Olympic basketball team. Sounds like a patriotic American eh? Well he's also spoke in defence of Shariah Law, claiming: "None of the people that have that criticism of Shariah law have checked out the law because it’s not even for non-Muslims. Sharia law is for ruling an Islamic state" and in supporting Shariah, with all its violent and oppressive components. He said: "Shariah law is for Muslims. So if there is a Muslim majority state then it has to be run by sharia law".

I puzzled over this last night when he made this outrageous statement.

Um...no we don't!

But I suppose they may be 0bama's muslim sport heroes.

Muslims are the gang leaders in prisons also.

We have FAR MORE Christians that are.

But we have the left trying to ban people from praying before a game...because religion and sports are only important when you can point out some Muslims.

Questions:

1. When did Moslems become Muslims?

2. Why does Obama say it “Mooz-lims” when most Americans say “Muzz-lims”?

3. Why does Obama say “Taley-bonn” when most Americans say “Tali-bann”?

4. Why does Obama say “Pock-e-stan” when most Americans say “Pack-i-stan”?

5. Why does Obama pronounce “Koran” with a distinct Arabic inflection, when most Americans say “Core-ann”??

They will never be competitive, with the drag from the burqa they will still be swimming after the lights are turned off.

He also said “divissive” instead of the properly pronounced divisive.

Nice try Odumbo.

There is a large difference between Black Islam/Elijah Muhammad/Farrakhan and Arab Islamists.

I’d add, most of those “sports heroes” adopt the pose for street cred and aren’t serious followers.

And people ‘wonder’ why I would rather watch paint dry than waste my valuable time watching ANYTHING involving this fool.

My cats can’t even stand him.

Though maybe that is because anytime I hear his voice on the radio, TV or see his picture I let out with a few loud MFers and other assorted words so they have placed him in the same category that most cats put themselves in when they decide they want to do ‘their business’ anywhere than the ‘sand box’ they remember the reaction.

0bama is a mohammedan. And a communist. And a sodomite.

I wonder how Obama pronounces “I resign.”

Any version will do.

I’m pretty sure Kareem Abdul Jabbar was actually named Lew Alcindor, was born in America and didn’t have any mid-east relatives...

When pressed back in the seventies Ali made many exceptionally anti-liberal statemensts (like adulterers should be stoned....in which case he would have been stoned shortly after his marriage) and other nasty things. Those were all overlooked by the liberal press who preferred to limn Ali as a hero who stood up to The Man. He was not a nice person.
