"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."

You have to remember they are the ones responsible for thinking up democracy, the magna carta, the industrial revolution, the wheel, numerous inventions, penicillin, insulin, and putting the first man on the moon.

I continue to be amazed at Islamic countries’ contributions to the arts, medicine, science, literature. Give me a break!!

These backward Third World S-— Hole countries continue to grow smaller in the rear view mirror of the west.

Bravo Sierra. I never even saw on until I was in high school and even that was only because I lived in DC and attended a school with lots of diplomat kids. Never saw another one until fairly recently when the damn flood gates must have been opened. Other than the occasional gas station owner.

I can't think of a single thing islamic that has contributed positively to this nation. But the President and I probably have different ideas of what constitutes positive and negative.
