In a statement released Sunday evening to mark the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, President Obama pledged his commitment to “safeguarding the civil rights of all Americans no matter their religion or appearance.”
Without mentioning presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump by name, Obama highlighted America’s “Muslim communities [that are] as diverse as our nation itself.” “I stand firmly with Muslim American communities in rejection of the voices that seek to divide us or limit our religious freedoms or civil rights. I stand committed to I stand in celebration of our common humanity and dedication to peace and justice for all,” Obama said.
Trump has proposed banning Muslims from entering America and he again raised eyebrows Sunday when he said it’s “absolutely" possible he’d be treated unfairly by a Muslim judge.
During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Trump said U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s has treated him in a “hostile manner” and pointed to the judge’s Mexican heritage.
When asked if he feels that he’d be treated unfairly by a Muslim judge because of his call to temporarily ban Muslim from entering the United States, Trump said, “It’s possible.”
“That would be possible, absolutely,” he said.
In his Ramadan statement, Obama noted that “millions of lives that have been displaced by conflict and struggle, across the world and in our own backyards” and said America “must continue working together to alleviate the suffering of these individuals.
“This sacred time reminds us of our common obligations to uphold the dignity of every human being. We will continue to welcome immigrants and refugees into our nation, including those who are Muslim.”
Foreign invaders aren't Americans.
Ass toward heaven. Head toward hell.
“This sacred time reminds us of our common obligations to uphold the dignity of every human being.”
So hey, Obama....what’s the score in Chicago??
Just arrest the POS and be done with him.
He has only a few months left to finish destroying this country.
Yep, that’s what scares me, the door should be hitting him in the butt now.
Since ISIS has called on all lone wold jihadis to attack Americans in honor of Ramadan, this will backfire on him badly if some attacks occur.

When patriots elect Trump, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

I am all for giving muslims the exact same rights they give Christians in their muslim country of origin.
Amen...Sounds more than fair to me.
A sitting American president who feels its more important to coddle foreigners many of whom are enemies of a free society rather than the people he is suppose to represent. The most despicable American president ever......ever
Can’t wait for the day when we have an American, non-Muslim POTUS who doesn’t even notice the start of Ramadan, much less feel obliged to put out a statement about it! FUBO!
I couldn’t agree more, what an embarrassment he is to our country.
Indeed! Very astute observation. Their posture — and their behaviours how they treat, mass- murder other people — make it clear who they serve and who they pray to — the Devil. (And.. Ass up in subservient position to get scr@wed...)
Ummmm - how many of those is he protecting that aren't legal immigrants, much less citizens?
