WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast.
The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

Obamasiah couldn’t specify any specific contribution to American society because there are none.

Obama's idea of justice and progress isn't ours.

No, but it might be from one of Bush's speech writers.

Great. Just what America needs. Another evil force rotting it from the inside out.
Obama has failed. He needs to resign...

0bamahdi can’t give a single example of a “positive contribution,” of the Islamics to America, so he says “they are too numerous to list.”

Obamasiah couldn’t specify any specific contribution to American society because there are none. "Our Muslim citizens have helped make our Nation a stronger and more hopeful place through their faith, generosity, and compassion.”

"a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress." Perhaps you mean camelsh*t?
As a matter of perspective, I'm sure they agree that their religion is fair and just... stoning, raping, limb removal.
After all of these years, why haven't they dug up their well dweller? Sand too hard to dig in (or are they afraid of finding water?)

Yes, the muslim religion has been a model of justice and progress since 610A.D. (when they claim Mohammed was first contacted by a messenger of Allah) Just ask any non-muslims living in muslim dominated countries since then about Islams commitment to justic and progress.
