The president calls for a renewal of religious tolerance and a cooling of tempers as he attempts to defuse the furor over plans to build an Islamic prayer center and mosque in New York and threats to burn copies of the Koran.
As a candidate, Barack Obama passionately defended the importance of religion in his life and in the nation's politics. As president, Obama on Friday called for a renewal of religious tolerance and a cooling of tempers against Muslims as he tried to defuse the furor over plans to build an Islamic prayer center and mosque in New York and threats to burn copies of the Koran in Florida.
Obama, a Christian whose Muslim name inflames some of his fringe opponents, didn't have to get involved in either dispute. But because of his responsibilities as president and commander-in-chief, Obama said he did.
"This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal; that they have certain inalienable rights -- one of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely," Obama said.

one of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely," Obama said Tolerance is a two way street. Since when have the followers of Islam been tolerant of other religions?

" In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and its rituals has a precise function and character.
A mosque is a one-story gallery built around an atrium with a mihrab (a niche pointing to Mecca)
and one, or in the case of Shiites two, minarets.
This 13-story multifunctional structure couldn't be any of the above.
The groups fighting for the project know this; this is why they sometimes call it an Islamic cultural center.
But there is no such thing as an Islamic culture.
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid").
The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit
to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided.
The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare
for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires.
After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.
It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington.
The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).
Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet.
To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan,"
this would be of great symbolic value."

I suppose Barry will next want us to show a little “tolerance” towards KKK members who don’t attend cross burnings.

Obama was a born and raised Muslim. I hope all those who voted for him realize the consequences of their vote.
We don't hear that old question..."Am I better off....."
I don't know one person who is better off since he took office.

Wait a minute....These Muzzies preach "Kill all the Christians and Jews"...That Christians are dogs i.e., filthy
Tell Obama he's supposed to defend ALL OUR RIGHTS under the constitution and that Muzzie isn't a religion.

"This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal; that they have certain inalienable rights -- one of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely," Obama said. This clown is enough actually to cause insanity; the only reasonable defense is to turn him off at every opportunity. Unfortunately, the vermin is everywhere, so here I am reacting to another asinine statement again, delivered in his best "undertaker" mode. Here is my real word interpretation of what he said :
"Never mind that islam is a sick, murdering culture masquerading as a religion, and killing dozens every day. It is the only self defined religion that has been doing that for generations now. We must accept them as a religion because they say so. If they lie it's only because that is the only way they can sound believeable, and pontificate the opposite of their daily actions.
"So set aside your phobias and pretend they're normal. I think they are, and I'm a famous neighborhood organizer!"
Now I got to take my cognitive dissonance firewall to the shop...

"...one of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely," Obama saidAs Supreme Court Justice Elena Kegan said in her confirmation hearing, to paraphrase; "we may have pre-existing inalienable rights but they shouldn't have any bearing on the law."
