President Obama to visit mosque in Indonesia
By: Kendra Marr October 28, 2010 12:21 PM EDT
President Barack Obama will visit one of the worlds largest mosques when he makes good on a long-delayed promise to visit Indonesia, the island nation where he lived briefly as a child.
The president will visit Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and the third largest Muslim house of worship in the world during his swing through the country Nov. 9-10. Islam is the dominant religion in populous Indonesia, making it the worlds largest Muslim-majority nation.
White House national security aide Ben Rhodes said the visit is standard protocol for Obama, who visited the famed Blue Mosque while on a visit to Turkey shortly after his inauguration. When he visited Muslim-majority countries as president, he has often visited the most prominent mosques, Rhodes said.
The presidents high-profile visit, however, could stoke the heated confrontation over the Park51 Project, an Islamic cultural center and mosque planned for a site just north of where the World Trade Center towers fell in Manhattan on Sept. 11. In August, Obama roiled the simmering debate when he declared that Muslims have a legal right to build the cultural center a statement which angered opponents who saw the center as an affront to victims and rescue workers who died on Sept. 11 but he later said he didnt think building the cultural center was a good idea.
Rhodes cautioned against linking Obamas statement about the Park51 Project and his visit to the Jakarta mosque.
I would not conflate the two, he said. When we planned to go to Indonesia in March, we planned to go to this same mosque.

The American Sikh community has said that President Barack Obama is not visiting the Golden Temple in Amritsar because he harbours fears of negative image fallout with him being partially Muslim by birth.
Hope he brings some of those Clinton era kneepads along.
Those tile floors can be tough during prayer time!
But he won’t go to a Sikh temple because it might make him look muslim?..................
Don’t be conflating the one.
Don’t be a conflator!

The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today. Prepare!
Nothing surprises me anymore. He’s muslim through and through.
But he’s NOT a Muslim.
Sikhs believe in God, as do Christians and Jews, not Allah.
I guess he would feel uncomfortable in a House of God.................
Well knock me over with a feather...who’d ever guessed it? /sarc
WAIT A MINUTE I know there was news that he was purposefully NOT doing this so Americans would not continue to think he was a muslim?
He does not care does he? Sounds like the advisor that advised him not to do this was IGNORED.
Obama is a radical that does not even care about the democrats, just HIMSELF.
I think the “negative fallout” Bambi’s worried about is among his fellow Muslims, if he is seen to be visiting a Sikh temple without trying to blow it up.
I disagree.
He’s a hard left materialist.
Any religious tendencies he shows are for political reasons.
The Rev Wright gig was all for street cred.
Muslim is way too rigorous for a slacker like Baraq to be into.
“President Barack Obama will visit one of the worlds largest mosques when he makes good on a long-delayed promise to visit Indonesia...”
The happy Christian wonders what goes on in mosques.../s
He might as well stop off in Afghanistan for “a workout at a fitness camp” at this point. Retracing his steps.
Different building. He’s not visiting the SIKH temple “so Americans won’t think he’s a Muslim” (huh? why would they think that if it’s a Sikh temple?). But obviously, visiting a mosque...hey, that’s a whole different thing.
Now they won’t “think” he’s a Muslim, they’ll know he’s a Muslim.
I would bet that he won’t allow cameras.
Obama only adheres, respects,acknowledes; the muslim religion-d u h! I suppose he will go pray in a catholic cathedral in CONUS or pray at the sistine chapel, next? < /sarcasm >
