So far he’s given the message that terrorists need to cross the southern border, we won’t look at black muslims, here’s a list of nuclear facillities and you can have your funding back.
It’s like 9/10/01.....in Kabul.

Funny how
zakat:za⋅kat
/zəˈkɑt –noun Islam.
a tax, comprising percentages of personal income of every kind, levied as almsgiving for the relief of the poor: the third of the Pillars of Islam.just rolls off of his tongue but something every American 5th grader knows, 50 US states, trips him up.
Curious how this Christian is head-over-heels for the ones who have in *their* bible to cut off the head of Jews and Christians. It's like Romney embracing Rastafarians.

Since he gave a speech to muslims, will he now give one to the Jewish people, to Lutherans, Baptists, Catholics and all the other religions of the world? Or is he only interested in muslims? I think we know the answer.

How many more Americans will Obuma kill... None. For the next four or eight years, everything bad will be blamed on W.

Don't forget that it's okay to recruit terrorists within our prisons, and that we won't actively pursue black muslims who have traveled to known terrorist countries for training, or those that murder members of the military on U.S. soil.

What idiots put this man in office? It is as though we elected a Nazi sympathizer in 1944. The government still has a responsibility to protect its citizens. If it won’t do that, it’s not worth much to the public.
