Tucked away in President Obama's historic speech in Cairo Thursday was a promise to American Muslims to ease the impact of post-9/11 scrutiny of their charities.

"Rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. That's why I'm committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat," said Obama, referring to the Muslim obligation to be charitable

Exactly!

Or, if not to kill, at least enslave and convert:

Having conquered the Middle East, Arabs placed these communities under a Dhimmi (see the book Dhimmi, by Bat Ye'Or) system of governance, where the communities were allowed to rule themselves as religious minorities (Christians, Jews and Zoroastrian). These communities had to pay a tax (called a Jizzya in Arabic) that was, in effect, a penalty for being non-Muslim, and that was typically 80% in times of tolerance and up to 150% in times of oppression. This tax forced many of these communities to convert to Islam, as it was designed to do.

From What Arab Civilization?

Just wait, this'll be coming to a country near you...

What do you think of President Obama’s views of the Muslim world and peace?
It makes him appear naive. This is a dangerous world. Stop singing Kumbaya. 40%
They inspire hope. And I do believe that hope can lead to change. 50%
It’s hard to say. 10%


Wow...50% still believing in hopey and changey

What freakin’ morons.

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?

Obama doesn't need to cowtow to other religions, since Islam is the only one that seems to be in a perpetual rage and hell bent on killing all other religions

Obama knows for him to be a successful POTUS, he has an historic opportunity, at least in his own mind, to "fix" the ME problem that has plagued all other POTUS

After all, he has the heart of a Muslim so he thinks he can fix the problem

In my mind, I keep seeing that cartoon of the missionary couple sitting in the pot on the fire saying to the cannibal "Thank you for having us for dinner," not realizing it was them on the menu.

Why doesn't he ever say these traitorous things while on US soil? Is he just counting on the sheeple tuning out things that don't seem to concern them?

God help us all.

Islam is a religion? I thought it was a backwards, bloodthirsty, deranged ideology.

does anyone know the reference of “57” ( which obozo said were the states i believe )for significance in the Muslim Koran? somebody mentioned to me today that the number he gave (incorrectly) for the states had some reference to a number in the Koran.

At the UN there is the OIC (Oranization for Islamic Councils (I think, that's close). It consists of 56 Islamic nation states and the Palestinian Authority.

There are some who say there are more (or less) memebers but they're spinning and trying to confuse the issue.

Nobama also said, in Germany (today/yesterday) something to the effect that 'there are some in Gitmo who need to be tried and convicted.'

Where's the presumption of innocence which is the reason for this whole damned kerfuffle in the first place?

To paraphrase a song by the '70s group, The Guess Who, he's come undone.
