Howlin, I missed your question last night because I went to bed before the thread ended.

Here is the part I objected to:

"That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before - ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever."

I interpreted this as equating Judaism and Christianity with Islam. It made me wonder if the President has ever read the "words of the Koran". I have. I took a college course on the Koran. What it says and what it advocates is shocking. The Koran and its adherents are the reasons why we are in Afghanistan and Iraq right now. How can you see it any other way?

Can you not possibly just read that and see that he is ONLY acknowledging other people's religion?

I repeat: he is the president of ALL the people of this country, and no matter how much it pains you, Muslims, too.
