PRESIDENT ASSUMES ROLE OF ISLAMIC APOLOGIST - - AGAIN
SORRY, BARACK, BUT MUSLIMS MADE NO CONTRIBUTIONS TO U.S. HISTORY
by
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
At a White House interfaith dinner honoring Ramadan, President Barack Obama said: "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."
No member of the national media took Mr. Obama to task for the historical inaccuracy of his remarks, let alone his pandering to the Islamists in attendance, and no one asked the President to list a few of the contributions of Muslims to American society.
In his efforts to single out a distinguished Islamic American, Mr. Obama pointed to Muhammad Ali, the former boxing champion and draft dodger who declared that he would not "take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers." An apt choice. Ali, the model Muslim, once said: We don't want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don't want to live with the white man; that's all." In relation to inter-racial marriage, the former champ quipped: "No intelligent black man in his right black mind wants white boys and white girls coming to their homes to marry their black sons and daughters." Of course, if a former white heavy weight champ made such statements, he would be castigated as a hate-mongering racist who shopuld be tarred and feathered.

Muslims did play a role, as bad guy Barbary Coast pirates.
And that still hasn’t changed. An Europe paid their ransoms.
And that still hasn’t changed.
This is total crap (once again). When will Americans take a stand against the re-writing of American history?? Orwell should sue for plagiarism!
Excellent article!
Show me one muslim american war hero... first world war or the second... Show me their innovations and inventions...
I mean America has been around for 233 years!
Show me, oh - obama
Altogether now! Let us chant for mankind and use our pens to write, O beloved Obama, our courageous president, we are all servants defending the hope for you and marching to change.

The syste of chattle slavery was not really part of European culture until it was introduced by the Moors into occupied Spain and Portugal. When the Moors were expelled, and Spain and Portugal liberated, the Spanish wanted to find a way to bypass the Mulsim blockade of trade routes to the east. When Constantanople fell to the Muslim Turks, and the local populations either subjugated, killed or sold as slaves, teh city was re-named Istanbul. The Sultan was now in charge of the routes to the east and when Columbus told Isabella that there were alternate rooutes to the east then he gained sponsorship to find them. That’s how America was discovered.
So Islam helped in the Spanish finding the New World out of necessity. It also helped develope the US and latin American slave economies — and let us not forget the big question; what religion were the African and Arabic slave raiders who caught Animistic tribespeople and sold them to the highest bidder?
He used his vacation to get instructions from his puppet masters. Now he’s coming back nicely brainwashed and vetting his grandiosity through this retard ideology.
Now give it an AK Hussein.
The Marine Hymn would just not be the same without Muslims. ; )
There was one contribution the Islamic world made very early to US History - they were the slavers that captured and sold the huge numbers of African blacks to the French, Portuguese, and Spanish (and also to the English and Dutch, later on) to be used in colonizing the New World, and creating the great plantations of sugar cane, cotton and tobacco which were among the great exports back to Europe when it was no longer appropriate to steal the gold and silver from the Aztecs in Mexico and Central America, and the Mayas of South America.
There is another contribution noted in the first line of the US Marine Hymn - “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli”, referring to the expedition sent to the Barbary Coast to put down the Muslim pirates operating in that part of the world, under the auspices of the Ottoman Turks.
Kinda crazy we bow down too a few percent of our Ingrate loudmouthed nonproductive population with Hard earned trillions in Welfare, Now we are on our knees Once again for a microscopic percentage in another religion this is getting Really Really tiring.
George Washington was Muslim. I know because Barack said so, so it must be true.
Muslims did play a part in American history and we should never forget it.
September 11
Period.
Bastards.
And now they have one of their own in the highest office in the world.
Albeit our fault, that's quite an accomplishment, very sad to say :(
Maybe the haloed one is confusing NYC and Philadelphia fire companies that formed Zouave Volnuteer units in the Civil War. They mimiced Moroccan units who were in the employ of France in the 1850s. Obama tells us he’s a student of history. He probably thought Moroccan Zouaves came to fight to end slavery in America.
I will stand with them (muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
Well I'm thinking those political winds have shifted, and have become hurricane force.
Last time a "Democrat" president (Dems claim him but he would have nothing in common with them were he alive today)really kicked Muslim ass.
Obama’s problem is that he doesn’t know when to sit down, shut up and behave presidential. Instead he’s behaving exactly the same way that Hugo Chavez does. Bellicose, self aggrandizing, pompous, overbearing and intrusive. Obama appears to have studied how to behave & govern like Hugo.
