WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed to an unsettled nation Saturday to honor the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks by hewing to the values of diversity and tolerance. "We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust," the president declared.

Speaking at the Pentagon, where nine years ago a hijacked plane smashed into the west side of the building and killed 184 people, Obama conjured a solemn remembrance of that horrible day but also spoke strongly in defense of religious freedom.

"As Americans we are not — and never will be — at war with Islam," the president said. "It was not a religion that attacked us that September day — it was al-Qaida, a sorry band of men which perverts religion."

Does Obama look like he’s lost some weight?

He looked “diminished” when he gave his speech from the newly redecorted Offal Office.

Rush even mentioned he looked “frail” when Zero gave a speech yesterday.

Ramadan perhaps?

The Liberal definition of diversity and tolerance. Not the real definition, of course!

Barry, just shut up and go away.

I know you’re pResident and you have to go do these things or even MORE people will despise you, if that’s possible, but really.... just shut up.

You know as well as we do, since you were educated in Muslim schools, what the Koran says about non-believers or those who don’t adhere to Islamic beliefs. Don’t even try to pass off this tolerance BS with us.

We’ve been fighting to defend Muslims for two decades at the cost of thousands of American lives, limbs and countless gallons of spilled blood. That comes on top of the trillions of dollars we’ve spent on those missions.

You really are the big eared Bambi with the Wookie wife and that’s all you ever will be to any normal American. You know, even my 4 year old nephew despises you and thinks you lie. What do you think the adults in this nation believe?

Who gives a damn what you think Barry. But on the subject of appeal, perhaps you should appeal for some testosterone you wuss.

Every time he opens his mouth there is some new, fresh outrage. He “honors” the dead by calling for tolerance for the people who killed them. I feel like I’m living in the flippin’ Twilight Zone.

[rbosque]

There are 10 times more hate crimes committed against Jews and Christians, than to Muslims. Obama needs a mental exam.

[historyrepeatz]

Tolerance results in hate-filled Mosques in every city throughout America.

[ladyvet]

That filthy Muslim needs to STFU!!!

[darkwing104]

The proposed Victory Mosque at Ground Zero is an act of tolerance...get real you big dope.

[ecomcon]

We are at war with Islam whether we choose to admit it or not. It has been 9 years since islamic filth took down the towers.

I perceive no moderation or positive change within Islam whatsoever. Indeed, they are an implacable enemy.

I do however perceive much pukery issuing forth from the mouth of one Barack Hussein Obama, who instead of calling shame upon the Muslim Enemy Who Did This, warns us that we must not purge the filth from within our midst.

FUBO.

[CitizenM]

I wonder, now that Ramadan is over, will Obama regain the weight he appears to have lost in the past month? We will have to watch closely. I am not saying he is a Muslim...I am just saying it looks like he has been fasting. Or eating Weight Watchers meals? Or is he sick?(roll eyes) Which is it? Hmmmm

[funfan]

Exactly!!!!!!!

FUBO
