Biden, at Muslim voters summit, says ‘I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith’

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden spoke to a summit of Muslim voters Monday, telling them he wished U.S. schools taught more about Islam.

"I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith. I wish we talked about all the great confessional faiths. It's one of the great confessional faiths," Biden said Monday at the “Million Muslim Votes” summit hosted by Emgage Action.

Emgage Action, the country’s largest Muslim American PAC, endorsed Biden in April after endorsing Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary.

Biden told the voters he would end President Trump's travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries on day one of his presidency and blamed the White House’s current occupant for “an unconscionable rise in Islamophobia.”

A number of Muslim American officials, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., signed a letter organized by Emgage Action endorsing Biden on Monday.

I actually agree with him. We probably would have avoided 9/11.

Know thy enemy.

If he wondered about teaching Muslim faith...what about teaching the faith of Catholics, or the faith of Protestants, or Jewish? Or Buddhist? Why JUST Muslim. isn’t this comment a bit racist? He and Obama took out religion from the W.H.

No chance. *Any* DEM candidate, and I do mean *any*, can get at least 175 EVs and at least 45% of the popular vote.

“Biden, at Muslim voters summit, says ‘I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith’”

Let’s see if he gets hung out to dry like conservatives do when they try to teach about ‘the Islamic faith’.

Public schools are not interested in teaching truths about anything anymore.

Here's the line where they are ordered to kill you.

And here's another one.

And another one.

Here's one telling them how to do it.

And we're barely past the front cover.

Nah, one must be much more realistic than that. It’s not going to be that way. And we need to stop acting as if it is, because that will guarantee loss.

And start paying attention to Congress. We can’t afford to lose another part.

I wish, but it isn't 1984.

The demographics have changed too much against us.

No way CA, OR, WA, NY, MA, RI, DE, VT, MD, DC, CT voting for Trump.

Not in today’s America. Dems are rock-solid guaranteed 47% of the vote and more than 200 EVs. Reagan’s America is dead and buried.

gawd!! Biden threw away the nomination and a possible election in 2016 and now he’s throwing away the election in 2020

just sorta like how McShame threw away the campaign in 2008 and Romney threw away his lead in 2012

not sure where these political hacks get their advisors but they should send them back for refunds ASAP, ha ha

I have my third grade class picture (1952) and one of the girls was dressed as a Muslim.
