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."

Where is the respect for all those who died on 9/11? Can the mindless president just set aside his own Islam beliefs for a day and let the world commemorate all the heroes of 9/11?

What a disgraceful human being? FUBO!!!!!!!!

he’s either been fasting like a muslims or he’s on drugs, he looks skinny and very unhealthy.

anyone seen him eat during the day?
Which also begs the question with muslims.
Why has no child services took muslims kids away form their parents because they were not being fed or allowed to drink during the day?

If anything looks to be child abuse it is not allowing kids to eat of drink during the day so where is child protective services then

Muslim kook murders army recruiter in Arkansas, June 2009.

Yeah, tolerance. Let’s not “jump to conclusions”, right, Hussein?

The Pentagon houses a chapel where people of different religions can pray.

That's interesting. Wonder how that's working out.

The terrorists are calling an extremist anti-western political movement a religion so we cannot criticize it.

People like Obama come out to tell us we need to be tolerant to the ‘religion’.

What a scam!!!

At a commemoration to mourn the American victims of violent Muslim intolerance, our clueless commander in chief lectures Americans on the virtues of tolerance. He never tires of insulting us.

He’s thinking about those 11 naughty little pranksters of 9/11 and trying not to laugh.

That’s right.

We have been tolerant, and what has it gained us? A middle finger victory monument, and a bunch of whining victim “moderate muslims”. My Christian charity needs some celestial input, because the terrestrial is about used up.
