As opinion polls registered strong opposition to plans for an Islamic center near Ground Zero, President Obama on Wednesday issued a statement marking the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, calling the holiday "a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."

Obama said Ramadan is a time "when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God."

He noted Ramadan's call for prayer and sacrifice and almsgiving, and said that along with the gatherings of family and friends at sundown for iftar dinners to break the daily fast, they are reminders "that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

In what way has Islam always been a part of America and what, specifically, have been their extraordinary contributions?

No worries! NASA has been given the task to answer this very question about Islam, so just wait. I'm sure they will research this topic as soon as they re-engineer Toyota.

Muslim history revision. They claim, for example, to have been the discoverervs of Australia, as there’s a mythical aboriginal town by the name of “mecca”. They claim to have been pre-Columbus discoverers of America, and just the other day I saw some weird BBC-produced miniseries about Columbus that had queen Isabel running around shouting “Allahu Akbar”. They have appropriated Jesus and renamed him Issa, and are even frequently claiming that Abram was, or at least wished to be, Muslim.

Obama is merely displaying standard muslim derangement.
