Where is the respect for all those who died on 9/11?

That's the problem, he has NO respect for them! This is just another of his "middle finger to America"!

If in '12, a conservative doesn't win in a landslide, it's over, IMO, because his actions cannot be more blatant for ANYONE not to see.

"We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust," the president declared.

Inadvertently, he's got it part right. Damn straight, Americans aren't going to hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust. We preserve the liberty we cherish when we recognize freedom's enemies, call them what they are and stand up to them. The only hunkering we're seeing is coming from the likes of Obama himself and his fellow travelers.

When the President of the United States uses this day, of all days, for those words--calculated for its timing and meaning--he removes any remaining doubt about what and who he is.

I feel like I’m living in a Twilight Zone episode when he goes into the PC babble. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but virtually all terrorism on EARTH is committed by Muslims in the name of Islam. Yet we’re supposed to not notice it??? Act as if it isn’t true somehow?

How much do these terrorists have tolerance for others? They sure don’t want to “celebrate diversity” with Jews and Christians, do they? If by “celebrate diversity” you mean want to kill every Jew and Christian in the name of Allah, maybe. And this joker wants us to pretend that it isn’t the case. FUBO.

NO

I am tired of tolerance. Tolerance - to those who preach it - is appeasement. It's staving off the opposition until they can get the takeover in place.

When taken in the light presented by the "progressives", tolerance is cowardice and acquiesence.

I do not tolerate a group of fanatics hiding behind the so-called 'religion' of islam. Religions do not kill and behead or stone people who do not agree and and join with them.

No, I will no longer be tolerant. It's the same as putting me in the "green room" until their act is ready to go on.

The cries of "racism" and "intolerant" have been used far too long as wedges to change American society to the whims and practices of fanatics and those who want to take, take, take.

It's time to push back America. You can't win anything if you sit and wait on your opponent to gain more strength than you. I learned in grade school that he who hits FIRST, usually wins the fight.

Hell no, I won't be tolerant...this is my country and not the country of the islam.

I am not saying he is a Muslim _______________________ I'll say it and here's why:

The Obamas have always said that "they don't give Christmas gifts to the children" and "they don't give birthday gifts" which I am told is what Muslims do.

No Christmas presents.

Tree with Mao on it.

No church to go to on Sunday.

Rev Wright is an ex Muslim

50% of his "G-d America" church was Muslim

Records in Indonesia show him taking in Arabic Muslim classes reserved for the most feverent believers .. His school records there list him as "Muslim" and "Indonesian" and his mother listed him on her passport application as Barack Husseim Obama (Soebarkah) ....

Egyptian minister: “Obama told me he is a Muslim”.

"The Muslim Call to Prayer is one of the Prettiest Sounds on Earth" - said Barack Obama to the New York Times http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/04/07/jeremiah-wright-former-muslim/

Allah is greater than any description 
I testify that there is no deity except for Allah 
I testify that Muhammad is a Messenger of Allah 
Make haste towards the prayer 
Make haste towards the worship 
Prayer is better than sleep 
Allah is the greatest! 
There is no deity except for Allah

As others noted:

From the NYT article (original now scrubbed!):

"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, ... Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”


I too thought he was reciting the call to morning prayers. But, it seems to others more knowledgeable than me, that this call is also an oath to Islam and that if you say it, or wish to convert, this is what you say and THIS IS WHAT he did say: ============================

The first few lines from the "call to prayer" is the shahada. The shahada is not from the koran. It is from the hadiths. Furthermore, it is the SWEARING OF AN OATH to islam. Non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam do so by a public recitation of the creed.

It is also an oath EVEN if you are tricked or forced into reciting it and even if you wish to renounce it, you can NOT do so without fear for your life.

It goes like this:
"Ash-hadu -an-la-ilaha illal-laha, wa ash-hadu anna Mohammad-an Abdo-hu wa Rasulo-uhu wa ash-hadu anna moulana ali-un –vasi-un wa vazir-ah.”

It literally means:
"I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is Allah's servant and His Messenger, and Ali is his successor ’vasi’ and minister ‘vazir’".

And it ALSO means that obama knew exactly what he was saying, knew exactly what it meant, and had no qualms about calling it the most beautiful sound on earth. As with most things, it was a message to his brethren and a finger in the eye of what obama considers stupid Americans.

If after what you have seen; if after what you now know about obama and his policies, here and elsewhere, and you still question whether obama is a muslim, you are too stupid to live. http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/04/07/jeremiah-wright-former-muslim/

Tolerance??????? The only thing I will tolerate is all mooslims retreating to their camel-dung infested middle-east ratholes. Just what don’t people get? mooslims want you and your children to die. mooslims tolerate nothing. Look at the various beheading videos to see if you want your children to see that happen to you...and then to them. Look!

Gee...maybe BO could get NYC to tolerate granting the permit for St. Nicholas Orthodox Church to rebuild their building, which was destroyed on 9/11.

Wherever in the world he see an abundance of Islam, we also see an abundance of intolerance, violence, oppression, corruption, death and other unspeakable human rights atrocities. Coincidence?

Very well said.
