I don’t denigrate Islam, I criticize it. And since when has criticism of religions been prohibited?

When he returns the money and orders his PACs to refuse to support from Maher, Parker, and Stone, I will believe he means it...

There you go, Christian pro-lifers. Obama is telling you what it takes to get your way.

You must violently riot and kill upon any imagined slight.
I’d say abortion on demand qualifies. So, get to those clinics and start rioting. You’ll save millions of lives.

Smart Americans don’t regard Islam as a religion.

I’ve been saying on here for years that the reason the Left and others finds it easy to denigrate Christianity is that there is no danger in it. Maybe that should change? We used to be a very dangerous people. Just ask the Saracens, Turks, Vikings, Cathars, Levantines, Barbary pirates, etc.

Obama: Americans ‘reject denigration of any religion — including Islam’

Administrative Law Construction Lesson: When a term-of-art-class-descriptor such as "including" is used, it declares the creation of that term of art for the specified statement. Therefore, Obama actually, legally said (as head federal administrator):

"For the purposes of this statement, I am hereby legally defining a term of art class called "any religion." This term of art class includes the componant "Islam." As I have not used any form of the word "include" for anyything else, there are no other componants in this term of art class."

Construction is therefore: "Americans ‘reject denigration of any religion] — including ONLY Islam.’"

In other words, right in front of everyone's face, the POTUS stated that:

Any religion in America may be denigrated except Islam.

That is the legal meaning of what he said - as the President of the US.

In Clintonian terms, that is the definition of "is," here.

No joke - this is actually what he said, actually means.

he has no respect whatsoever for Christianity and Judaism.

He wouldn’t be making us pay for the whoredoms of his followers.

What an hypocrite!

Blessings, bobo

Running like a big chicken from a group of thugs that threaten to kill you over some stupid video is not respecting religion....its bowing down to thugs, and falling right into their trap. Obama is ignorant and incompetent in defending this country.

I think we could add Greek Orthodox to the list of traditional cultural Christians, but because they are not a large group, they tend to be ignored. However, they will certainly come under the guns of HHS Secretary Sibelius if Obama wins this election.

“Obama: Americans ‘reject denigration of any religion — including Islam’”...............

It occurs to me that by his standards, he is telling the truth. He himelf is not an American, and he is pro-Islam since he was raised in that religion. So, he is telling the truth according to his Muslim understanding.

He notes the tolerance of various faiths, and sees it as good. Since he is not American, he does not need to live by these lofty goals. See, how sly he is?????

Islam is not a religion. It’s a theocracy.

Where is the outcry of the atheist organizations that proudly hate all religions, largely expressed most especially against Christianity and Judaism, of course. Their opinion is being ignored, and after all they are citizens of the USA, and in the past Obama has harkened unto them.
