On Sunday, President Obama and First Lady Michelle released a statement thanking Muslim Americans for their many “achievements and contributions… to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.”

Maybe the “common values that unite us” as the Obamas said...are not all that common. They are only common to certain groups.

He thinks illegal aliens built our country too. I can’t wait for his windy platitudes praising MS-13 gangs for encouraging communal togetherness...

I used to live in Beckett, a community in South Jersey with an overbearing HOA. After we moved in 1997, a guy we knew was elected HOA president. He appointed 5 like minded individuals to the board. Their first order of business was to dissolve the HOA.

Obama could say the same thing about the KKK, Satanism, or the Nazi Party, and be no more absurd than he is in his fabrication of Islams benefits to humanity.

Why doesn’t somebody of stature call this moron out? Muslims have done nothing for this country or any other country. Their own countries are hellholes. They are so inbred they can’t think straight. They contribute nothing to the world but misery and violence.

Europeans bought their slaves from established African slave markets and did not make extended forays into the bush to raid villages for slaves, booty, and slave-girl booty. In contrast, Arab slave traders penetrated deep into Africa to kidnap their prey.
