President Barack Obama used the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to try to reduce the temperature on a pair of heated controversies over Islam and religious tolerance, even as others staged rallies that could further inflame the very tensions Obama tried to avert.
Speaking at a memorial service Saturday morning, Obama seemed eager to stem what some polls show is rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States, nine years after Islamic terrorists affiliated with al Qaeda hijacked four passenger planes, crashing two into the World Trade Center in New York, the third into the Pentagon, and plunging the fourth into a field in rural Shanksville, Pa.

I wonder if he has ever called on Muslims to be tolerant and all that?
He lies; muslims lie.
DEFENSE.gov (AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE): Washington - "PROVOCATIONS ENDANGER U.S. TROOPS, OBAMA SAYS" by Lisa Daniel (SNIPPET: "Provocative acts such as burning Qurans -- or even threats of such acts -- endanger U.S. troops when they circulate widely on the Internet and rightfully gain the attention of senior leaders, President Barack Obama said today. ""There's no doubt that when someone goes out of their way to be provocative in ways we know can enflame the passions of over a billion Muslims around the world when we have troops in Muslim countries, that's a problem," Obama told reporters during a White House news conference.")

CNS NEWS.com: "ONE DAY BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, OBAMA DEFENDS 'INALIENABLE' RIGHT TO BUILD MOSQUE NEAR GROUND ZERO" by Fred Lucas (SNIPPET: "One day before the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Barack Obama became adamant and emotional in defending the "inalienable" right of people "to practice their religion freely" and, specifically, "to build a mosque" two blocks from Ground Zero in New York City.")

That’s the problem with a pres_ent who is not an American, he really just doesn’t understand what happened on 09-11-01. He can’t understand what the murder of over 3000 of their fellow countrymen meant to Americans. Barry can’t figure out what all the hubbub is about. If you don’t have any respect for life, the murder of 3000 people is no big deal.
He lies; muslims lie.
Zero does it with a double standard. One standard for a Muslim Imam and One standard for a Pentecostal Preacher.
For one he defends his right to do as he wants.
For the other, he does not defend his right, but condemns him.
Everyone knows who he defended and who he condemned.
"Rising anti-Muslim sentiment", my arse. This is libcode for, "Oh Shiite, Americans are waking up to the truth!"
Didn't our POS Prez hang curtains at a homeless shelter or something last year, demonstrating to all how we should "serve" today? What was it this year? A pedicure for some imam?
President Impotent.
I finally stumbled on the perfect analogy.
BO treats American citizens as a reluctant step-father who resents his adopted children. He selfishly lusted for and won the heart of another man’s wife, together with a lovely home and his BMW.
He just wasn’t prepared for step children who are spirited and intelligent.
So when anything goes wrong - he blames our bio father (i.e.George Bush) for a flat tire and blames us for everything he screws up.
Some celebrate this vile victory. They show their true allegiance.
NEVER again. NEVER.
0bama can’t help but throw gasoline on a fire.
Of course, the immolation of Western Civilization is his goal.
If memory serves, overseas Muslim reaction to the attacks was “celebration”. Were there ANY “moderate” Muslim countries who had any other reaction? There may have been, but nothing comes to mind.
