And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, wed be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, Mr. Obama said. And so theres got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.
Mr. Obama said. And the impulse towards destruction as opposed to how can we study science and mathematics and restore the incredible scientific and knowledge the output that came about during centuries of Islamic culture.

Some creativity did come out of the muslim culture, but it was only what was stolen from their Jewish or Christian prisoners.
Not much opportunity to advance culturally when you are not allowed to read anything other than the Koran.

But we’re not a Christian nation?

More good news:
Mitt Romney Points Out Obama’s Latest Distinction on Sean Hannity:
“Britains Guardian newspaper noted that Mr. Obama has been more critical of his own country, while on foreign soil, than any other president in American history. That would be a most unfortunate distinction at any time.”
Even Al Guardian has picked up on Obama!

Actually, the Arabs ripped off the Greeks.The famous arabic number system was actually the Indian number system, but spread and popularized by the Arabs.

Yes...but we’re not supposed to say that...because it might hurt Islam’s feelings.

Bambi, we are a Judaeo-Christian Nation but we all know how you feel about the real Jews and Christians so you can try to make up whatever you like, still doesn't make it true foooooool.

This isn't a particularly helpful thing to say. In Islam, once a land becomes conquered or otherwise part of the 'ummah', it is forever Islamic land. Bin Laden still complains about the need to reconquer Spain, which the Moors lost hundreds of years ago.
At any rate, implying that the United States is in some way a Muslim country is not something that will reduce tensions. Show me a 'partially Muslim' country, and I'll show you somewhere with internal strife. Show me a Muslim country bordering a non-Muslim country, and I'll show you a tense border.
Obama's take on this isn't a constructive line of reasoning.
