US President Barack Obama praised Islam as an integral part of America, as he feted prominent US Muslims at an Iftar dinner marking the holy fasting month of Ramadan. "For well over a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and reflection," Mr Obama said, in remarks welcoming his guests in the State Dining Room of the White House. "Tonight's Iftar is a ritual that is being carried out this Ramadan at kitchen tables and mosques in all 50 states," he said. "Islam as we know is part of America. Like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity. "On this occasion, we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched America and its culture in ways both large and small,'' he said. Among the guests Mr Obama praised was Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir.

“...And in the name of Islam, to honor Ramadan, I have ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to throw as many CIA agents to the wolves that he can find. Now some out there are angered at this... And all I can say is: you’re next.”

Has anyone ever heard him mention the contributions made by Christians and Jews? Maybe we could have just slacked off and let the wonderful muslims build everything!

I believe you are correct...

I had heard of terrorists in the Middle East, but never knew how many were in our Country until 9/11..Never heard of the Taliban and the World Trade Center in 1993 I think most people thought it was truly a isolated incident...
