“Pens, calligraphy, poetry, arches, and spires existed long before Islam.”
Oh, come on now! Surely you don’t believe folks were writing prior to 700 AD! And the Romans didn’t build the Colosseum until after the Muslims taught them.
Obama is pandering. He does it repeatedly, without giving anything solid. How about calling on all Muslim countries to allow conversion to Christianity instead of killing anyone who does so?
The truth is something Obama doesn’t want to acknowledge - that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are AMERICAN ideals, not shared by many muslim countries.
The real problem IS islam. The real problem is that it IS the Taliban who are correctly interpreting the Koran.
I hate to nit pick but our basic founding principle is that our rights come from our Creator, therefore they cannot be taken away
Uh...as if it's supposed to?!!! ... go away? How inappropriate!
“Obamanathema? “
Quite appropriate indeed!
If he made his comments about women in eastern Afghanistan, the Afghan villagers would tear him limb from limb. Literally.
I’ve got to give credit where it is due. He is managing to pander AND piss people off at the same time. That is difficult to do.
At 1.5%...we have the lowest PERCENTAGE of Muslims.
Heck they nearly wiped out the Zorastarians (sp)..
God gave us our rights, but men can take them away.
LOL
I know...I about fell out of my chair when he said that.
I thought the church he attended in Chicago was considered “Christian”. No?
Well said..
There was much wrong with Obamas speech but what really floored me was when he started talking about (paraphrasing here) about universal rights and got to the part about transparent government and not stealing from the people how could he say that with a straight face? His administration and his party are about the complete opposite of that - he has done nothing in regards to making government transparent but just the opposite and is continually stealing from the American people and proposing new ways of stealing more.
Obama and the democrat party do not believe in the Right to a free market and the pursuit of happiness but yet he had the audacity to speak as if he does.
Thank you for writing that. I do not concede the “birthplace of civilization” crap peddled by the Islamic apologists. Islam the graveyard of civilization.
Also - what did they do with their so called creations? If the telephone was invented by a Muzzie, the guy would have been beheaded and the telephone burned and buried.
Yet of the few liberals I know, their only concern is socialized medicine. What a disconnect.
