As long as the Constitution provides religious freedom for all it's citizens then the President's obligation to Muslim Americans is no less then his obligation to Christian Americans.

Satanism is a religion practiced by some Americans. Should the President make statments of goodwill to Satanism?
Not enough Satanists yet? What if it grows in popularity?
What about paganism? How about a revival of Molech-worship?
America is a secular Christian nation, tolerant of other religions. That we don't persecute them doesn't mean we have to blow sunshine at them.

Until then, as their President, and as they are also citizens of this nation, his statement is proper.

He is also the President of citizens who are Satanists, pagans, or Molech-revivalists.
How should the President properly address them?
I'd suggest he's already done so: not at all.

Tell you what then. Why don't you pay a quick visit to Ft. Lewis then, but you've got to be quick. The Stryker Brigade and their support elements there are getting ready to deploy to Iraq. That includes about 60 Muslim American troops who are going off to defend their nation, possibly die for it.

Right now there is a lot of last minute work going on helping arrange last minute details for the departing troops and their families. They always need volunteers so I'm sure you would be welcomed.

It would be a nice experience for you and I'm sure you would boldly stand up and look those soldiers and their families in the eye and share your views of their religion. I'm sure even their Christian comrades would be interested in your opinion.

Remind these brave soldiers, Christian, Jew and Muslim just what it is they're fighting for.
