WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton has told an Arab-American audience of 1,000 people that the U.S. is no longer just a black-white country, nor a country that is dominated by Christians and a powerful Jewish minority
In a speech to the group on Saturday, Clinton said that given the growing numbers of Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups here, Americans should be mindful of the nation's changing demographics, which led to the election of Barack Obama as president.
Clinton said by 2050 the U.S. will no longer have a majority of people with European heritage and that in an interdependent world "this is a very positive thing."
Speaking in a hotel ballroom to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee during its annual convention, Clinton also praised Obama's speech in Cairo, Egypt, that was focused on the Arab world.
Clinton told the audience that it's important that they push government leaders for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He cited an experience in 1993 when he failed to persuade many Jewish-American and Arab-American business people to invest in the Palestinian areas because violence and bombings had deterred them.
"It just took one more bus bomb or one more rocket or one more incident and then people got scared of losing their money," he said.
As the U.S. continues to push for peace in the area, "I think it's really important to give the Palestinian people something to look forward to," Clinton said to loud applause.
Clinton, who wasn't paid for his speech, spoke in a wide-ranging 35-minute address that focused on people's identity in an interdependent world. He said the U.S. can't rely on its military might in global relations. "It has to begin by people accepting the fact that they can be proud of who they are without despising who someone else is," he said.
You asked — Really and what are these numbers?
—
Take a look at the video in post #19, and you’ll have the numbers... (Muslim demographics)...
You said — Hes saying Obama is a Muslim in a backhanded way!
—
Obama is not the real problem here. Take a look at Muslim Demographics in post #19 and you’ll see the real problem...
Snippets from 2008 article: With gas at $4 a gallon, I dont want anybody who is on the Saudi payroll near the Oval Office. Its clear that foreign governments and the Clintons have been colluding to buy off the American process and open the store to foreign interestslike the Saudis and the Chinese Communist Party.
Hillary Clinton knows this. It is why she won't release her tax returns. Those returns will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she and her husband are on the payroll of corrupt foreign entities--like the Chinese Communist Party and the Saudi Arabian government.
Clinton’s actually right. We’re now controlled by a bunch of faggots, closet-muslims, lesbians, communist sympathizers, and freeloading vermin. Not a genuine Christian or Jew in the bunch.
But Mr. Clinton, it’s not far off before this all changes.........
No reason to get excited. This is SOP for one of Bill’s PAID speeches. If he does one in Abu Dhabi, the purchaser can order standard anti-american fare with a side of pro-arab. It depends on who’s paying the bill as to what’s said. It really means nothing.
You weren’t expecting what he says to be objective, were you?
He forgot to include his religion - which is the “Church of the Sunday Faker”..... other well known politicians in that congregation as well.
From your lips to God's ears.
I hope you're right being not far off, I've had it with this $hit
Not to mention other vile stuff.
Shhhh ... It may actually be the other way around ...
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

That's not unreasonable. Now that we don't have to worry about Christians or Jews, there will be no problem. Investment dollars will flow. He's sounding as dumb as his wife.
Bubba made these comments in order to ingratiate himself with the Saudis so that they, the Saudis, pay him (1) big bucks for speaking fees in the Middle East and (2) big bucks to lobby for the Saudis at some point in the near future.
Billzo is in that crowd that argues “Africa begins at the Pyranees”
I stand corrected, geographically. Thank you for reminding me of this perspective, such as it is.
Not just the “Sunday Faker” denomination, but the congregation of “St. Mattress”!
Worse yet, those would be people of Iberian heritage of the Christian faith.
Those trends may appear correct today, but he’s forecasting out 40 years and no one knows what will happen over two generations. Those projections are based on what we know about the future, which is ... not much.
Maybe Euro-Americans will begin procreating beyond bare replacement levels again. Maybe some will migrate back to the Middle East or Asia, South or Central America. No one really knows how the world will be in 40 days much less years.
I remember some tv anchorette swooning back in ‘81 about how the then-19 year old Diana will one day be Queen of England. So much for that.
And they believe in kneeling, even provide kneepads if I remember correctly...
