As opinion polls registered strong opposition to plans for an Islamic center near Ground Zero, President Obama on Wednesday issued a statement marking the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, calling the holiday "a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."
Obama said Ramadan is a time "when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God."
He noted Ramadan's call for prayer and sacrifice and almsgiving, and said that along with the gatherings of family and friends at sundown for iftar dinners to break the daily fast, they are reminders "that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

Obama the piece of sh!t opens his mouth and solid feces falls out. Does this daft, lying twat actually believe the vomitous bile he spew. Sorry, but I hate this fecker with the fury if a thousand hot suns.
I await an answer to this as well.
What a load of crap.
Skippy needs to figure out that we’re in a war, with our opponents pressing jihad to achieve a worldwide caliphate.
I say again: Everything I NEEDED to know about Islam, I learned on 9/11. What I learned in research after that only enhanced my understanding.
Isn’t our president supposed to be the chief guardian of our national interests? Skippy not only hates us, he hates our country as well.
God help us.
It was responsible for the birth of the US Navy.
He noted Ramadan’s call for prayer and sacrifice and almsgiving, and said that along with the gatherings of family and friends at sundown for iftar dinners to break the daily fast, they are reminders “that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.”
All this after this ba - - - rd cancels the “National Day of Prayer” — Change we want to make? Is the part of Hussein Obamas hope and change.
A poll of the Obama-Free-Rent-Money rioters pictured above finds that 98% will vote again for Obama in 2012. The other 2% are holding out for free cell phones and cigarettes.
I know there is a cocktail napkin at some bar somewhere that has these contributions printed on it. I just haven't found one yet.
What the hell is this idiot talking about?
Islam has been part of American since Thomas Jefferson sent the US Marines to Tripoli to stop the Muslim pirates attacking US shipping.
“From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli.”
“Islam As ‘Part Of America’ “
Not now, Not ever, NEVER. WHen they start eating pork ribs, I will accept the possibility.
Here’s what he said at Christmas. Nothing of its importance to or being a part of our country, really nothing of the real meaning of it at all. But lots about the problems with the US. What a surprise (not).
“Remarks of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama
Weekly Address
December 24, 2009
PRESIDENT: Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas. As you and your families gather to celebrate the holidays, we wanted to take a moment to send greetings from our family—from me, from Michelle, from Malia and Sasha—and from Bo.
FIRST LADY: This is our first Christmas in the White House, and we are so grateful for this extraordinary experience. Not far from here, in the Blue Room, is the official White House Christmas Tree. It’s an 18-foot tall Douglas-fir from West Virginia and it’s decorated with hundreds of ornaments designed by people and children from all over the country. Each one is a reminder of the traditions we cherish as Americans and the blessings we’re thankful for this holiday season.
PRESIDENT: That’s right, especially as we continue to recover from an extraordinary recession that still has so many Americans hurting: parents without a job who struggled to put presents under the Christmas tree; families and neighbors who’ve seen their home foreclosed; folks wondering what the new year will bring.
But even in these tough times, there’s still so much to celebrate this Christmas. A message of peace and brotherhood that continues to inspire more than 2,000 after Jesus’ birth. The love of family and friends. The bonds of community and country. And the character and courage of our men and women in uniform who are far from home for the holidays, away from their families, risking their lives to protect ours.
To all our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen—I have no greater honor than serving as your Commander in Chief. I’ve been awed by your selfless spirit, your eagerness to serve—at the Naval Academy and West Point. I’ve been energized by your dedication to duty—from Baghdad to the Korean Peninsula. Michelle and I have been moved by your determination—wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda, fighting to recover, to get back to your units.
And I’ve been humbled, profoundly, by patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. In flag-draped caskets coming home at Dover. In the quiet solitude of Arlington. And after years of multiple tours of duty, as you carry on with our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, your service, your readiness to make that same sacrifice, is an inspiration to us and to every American.
FIRST LADY: And so are your families. As First Lady, one of my greatest privileges is to visit with military families across the country. I’ve met military spouses doing the parenting of two—keeping the household together, juggling play dates and soccer games, helping with homework, doing everything they can to make the kids feel OK even as they try to hide their own fears and worries.
I’ve met kids who wonder when mom or dad is coming home; grandparents and relatives who step in to care for our wounded warriors; and folks trying to carry on after losing the person they loved most in the world.
And through it all, these families somehow still find the time and energy to serve their communities as well—coaching Little League, running the PTA, raising money to help those less fortunate than they are, and more.
But even these strong military families can use a hand, especially during the holidays. If you live near a military base, you can reach out through your workplaces, your schools, your churches. There are so many ways to help—with child care, with errands, or by just bringing over a home-cooked meal. Even if you don’t know a military family nearby, your family can still help by donating or volunteering at organizations that support military families.
PRESIDENT: You can also reach out directly to our forces around the world. Kids can make a card that will bring a smile to an American far from home. Adults can send a care package or a pre-paid phone card that makes the tour at little easier. Every American can do something to support our troops, even if it’s as simple as just saying thank you. For more ways to let our troops know you care, go to www.whitehouse.gov
So to all our men and women in uniform spending the holidays far from home—whether it’s at a base here in the states, a mess hall in Iraq or a remote outpost in Afghanistan, know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers. And this holiday season—and every Holiday season—know that we are doing everything in our power to make sure you can succeed in your missions and come home safe to your families.
FIRST LADY: And to all Americans, from our family to yours, Merry Christmas.
PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas, everybody.”
Maybe knife sharpeners?
“Muslims have contributed NOTHING to this country.”
Muslims have contributed NOTHING to ANY country.
Oh, Islam is part of America all right. They’re the demolition experts.
It’s true that Islam is a part of America!
It was part of America’s war against the Barbary Pirates in the early 1800’s and 1900’s.
It was allied with America’s enemes Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
It is always been part of the worldwide terror movement against Western and American values in the 20th and 21st centuries.
obamadinejad is probably not aware of any of this because he is too STUPID AND LAZY to know ANYTHING about history that he didn’t learn from jeremiah wright, bill ayers, and in the mudslime madrassah school he attended in Indonesia.
There are very few living people I actually hate but he is at the top of that list.
>>It was responsible for the birth of the US Navy.<<<
Good one.
It was also responsible for a significant part ot the Marine Corps hymn.
