President Barack Obama has urged Americans not to 'stigmatize' Muslims in the wake of the Brussels terrorist attacks that left 34 dead - including two U.S. citizens.
He told Belgians 'America has their back' in the fight against terrorism and gave his prayers to those who perished in the bombings, but also attacked recent calls by GOP candidates to bring more police into American-Muslim neighborhoods.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, he said: 'We have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life.'
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Fellow Republican candidate Ted Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, has called for heightened police scrutiny of neighborhoods with large Muslim populations.
During the addresses, Obama also expressed condolences to the families and renewed his vow to continue the campaign against the Islamic State, which took credit for the attacks.
'Yesterday, we learned that at least two Americans were killed. We pray for their families and loved ones,' he said.
'At least 14 Americans were injured. And we pray for their full recovery, along with everyone else affected by these attacks.'
Obama said the U.S. has ramped up intelligence cooperation and that FBI agents are in Belgium assisting with the investigation into the bombings.
He also said the U.S. will review international efforts to combat Islamic State militants after the Brussels attacks during a nuclear summit with world leaders next week.
Obama returned on Friday from a trip to Latin America, where he took criticism for attending a baseball game in Havana, playing dominoes with a Cuban comic and dancing the tango in Argentina while America's allies recovered from a terrorist attack in Belgium.

there is no reason we should have a single muslim in the US. Not one mosque. They make no contributions worthy of having them as guests. Not one. Savages.
Could you just imagine this incompetent fool after 9/11? He would have left the bleeding and the dead in the street and rushed off to bow down to some Muzzie prince or terrorist war criminal, then kiss his leprous a@@.
They stigmatize their own religion by their violence against others who want to just practice their faiths.
MEMO TO PRESIDENT: please list one or two of the "enormous contributions" of Muslim - Americans. All I see are mass killings and violence against women.
Do you suppose Islam makes them insane?
There he goes again
Projecting his thoughts
As if Americans will stigmatize (nail to a cross) Muslims
When the converse is plainly true.
Does the Muslim in Chief have anything to say about the horrific attack on Christians in Lahore?
I think Muslims should not stigmatize non-muslims. Thats the only way we could stop terrorism, not to get non-muslims to treat muslim nicely
But stigmatizing Christians, gun-owners, Conservatives, and males, to name but a few, is entirely OK.
NAZI in geran means “national socialist farm and workers party”

Amen!
Obama's eight years of nonstop "don't/mustn't/can't stigmatize Muslims" is the real life equivalent.
Mr. niteowl77
Good article previously posted from an Arab journalist.
‘We have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life.’
...
Enormous like making a clock look like a bomb.
I’m going to triple my stigmatizing efforts in Hussein’s honor.
