Obama speaks out for Muslims
The Hill ^ | 09/10/10 01:05 PM ET | Sam Youngman

Posted on 09/10/2010 10:31:35 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

In a press conference designed to defend his economic policies, President Obama waded deeper into religious tensions gripping the nation by speaking out forcefully in defense of religious pluralism.

Speaking a day before the nine-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Obama made a passionate plea to Americans to differentiate between terrorists and Muslims.

“We have to make sure that we don't start turning on each other,” an impassioned Obama said at his first full press conference since May. “And I will do everything that I can as long as I'm president of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation, under God. And we may call that God different names, but we remain one nation.”

While the president spent a great deal of time discussing the “painfully slow” economic recovery and the midterm elections, the majority of the press conference centered on a discussion about U.S. relations with the Muslim world. The summer congressional recess has been dominated by debates surrounding the plans of a New York group to build an Islamic Center blocks from Ground Zero, and a Florida pastor’s plan, now suspended, to burn copies of the Quran.

While Obama sounded professorial and rehearsed as he repeated his talking points on the economy and the midterms, the president projected a solemn and somewhat impatient tone as he discussed the divide between the U.S. and the Muslim world.

“We are not at war against Islam. We’re at war against terrorist organizations that have distorted Islam or falsely used the banner of Islam to engage in their destructive acts. We’ve got to be clear about that,” Obama said. “From a national security interest, we have to be clear about who the enemy is here.”

BS BO.

Do Muslims have an obligation not to kill Christians and Jews? Where does 0bama stand on Genocide? We know he doesn’t like book burning, that’s all he can talk about. But what about People-Burning?

What he means is that Christians should bow down and welcome the savages who want their heads.

One weakness Muslims fail to grasp in their assault upon America, is that there are probably more out of fellowship believers here than persevering believers. One of these days, their assault will strike a chord of arrogance in those out of fellowship, who will likely react instead of respond and the consequences in a worldly sense are likely to be very unforgiving and irreversible.

The result will not be for anything good, but they simply will have miscalculated and will trigger a much more unforgiving hatred from those who are not believers, than those who are.

“We have to make sure that we don’t start turning on each other,”

Until all sides agree we are a constitutional based society, and the same law that allows a mosque allows book burning, then we are by default turned on each other.

Really, Barry?

Hmmmm.....

I'm willing to bet that not one single IED has been laid, not one mortar or rocket has been launched and not one car bomb or suicide/homicide bomb has been detonated with intent to kill in Afghanistan or Iraq by anyone who is not a Muslim.

So...who are we at war with again?

“And I will do everything that I can as long as I'm president of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation, under God. And we may call that God different names, but we remain one nation.”

I'm sick and tired of this tripe. The Muslim god, according to their holy book, is in favor of killing those that disagree with them. Stoning women. Raping children. And subjugation of women and girls. Their "god" in no my God. Their "god" is evil.

Look at what the Muslims around the world did on the mere rumor that someone was going to burn a Koran in the United States.

Then look at the absence of any or at least very minimalistic Islamic materials being burned in the U. S. even after 09/11.

Obama is one clueless bastard.

There is no cohesion between Islamicists and the United States. There is only cohesion between Islamicists and Islam.

Have we honestly become so addled that we can’t even be honest with ourselves?

As for them thinking like they are one of us, just look at the plans for a mosque at ground zero. This offends Americans. Does it offend them? No. They are by distinction, not part of “us”. They revel in that. They revel in being something else, something that desires to tweak, change, and insult.

They come to live here and then bitch about U. S. customs. “I wear a veil, and you better let me wear it or I’ll take you to court and screw you over.”

At airports we’re not supposed to look at the person’s face. Who cares if they’re a known terrorist or not. Islam trumps that kind of thinking...

Five or six of these people can stand up in the middle of an aircraft at 35,000 feet, and chant blessings to Allah, and get away with it. If six of us stood up and did something like that, we’ve be getting our Christmas presents and birthday gifts in prison for the next couple of years, or longer. If they conduct what are obvious dry runs, we let them go and apologize for holding them up.

It’s time to wake up and smell the camel sweat.

This isn’t working, and the nation’s doors should be slammed shut yesterday. Then we begin incentivising people’s return to their nation of origin.

I’m sorry it has to be this way, but survival as a nation trumps.

I personally believe that our nation would be far ahead of the game, if it promised $500k to any citizen family that wanted to pick up sticks and move out of the United States back to their nation of origin permanently.

I might even buy into something akin to this for illegal aliens, with a more moderate payout. Once that was done, if they showed up on U. S. soil again, it would be ten years in a prison. (illegals only that is...)

Not one word against those madmen taking to the streets burning our flag. Of course not, just complaints about Americans speaking out against his people.

And once again he uses Gitmo as a terror recruiting tool.

This after saying that 80% of Afghanistan is illiterate.
