Another bizarre Obama holiday address… In his Easter Address this year Barack Obama reminds us that the great religions, including Islam, teach us to “love our neighbors as we love ourselves.” From the White House website:
Hi, everybody. For millions of Americans, this time of year holds great meaning…
…For me, and for countless other Christians, Holy Week and Easter are times for reflection and renewal. We remember the grace of an awesome God, who loves us so deeply that He gave us his only Son, so that we might live through Him. We recall all that Jesus endured for us – the scorn of the crowds, the agony of the cross – all so that we might be forgiven our sins and granted everlasting life. And we recommit ourselves to following His example, to love and serve one another, particularly “the least of these” among us, just as He loves every one of us.
The common thread of humanity that connects us all – not just Christians and Jews, but Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs – is our shared commitment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. To remember, I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper. Whatever your faith, believer or nonbeliever, there’s no better time to rededicate ourselves to that universal mission…
The Muslim-In-Chief has spoken.
WTF does Islam have to do with an Easter address?
Lost for words
Qur’an 5:17 “Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other.”
Qur’an 9:29 “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, who do not forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, or acknowledge the Religion of Truth (Islam), (even if they are) People of the Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jiziyah tribute tax in submission, feeling themselves subdued and brought low”
another encroachment of Islam into a Christian holiday lead by the insinuator-in-chief, the Hero Of Benghazi, the head Iman in DC.
The church Obama attended today:

SBC cuts ties to Baptist World Alliance Print E-mail
By Trennis Henderson
Kentucky Western Recorder
Indianapolis (ABP) - Southern Baptist Convention messengers voted overwhelmingly June 15 to end the denomination’s 99-year relationship with the Baptist World Alliance.
The action during the SBC annual meeting in Indianapolis follows several years of tension between the two organizations. Southern Baptist leaders repeatedly have accused the BWA of affiliating with Baptist groups that espouse “aberrant theological views,” a charge denied by BWA officials.
Paige Patterson, speaking on behalf of the SBC’s BWA study committee, told the 8,000 registered messengers that committee members “have noted with sorrow in our hearts a continual leftward drift in the Baptist World Alliance.”

He might as well be casting a spell from the Necronomicon.
None whatsoever. But if it detracts from the true message of Easter, the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and true Savior, Jesus Christ, then it pleases O’s father, the Father of Lies.
Because the Shia and the Sunni love each other to death...
O’bastard is an islamist through and through.
They may say it but they don't practice it.
God he is so full of shit
Why would a “Christian” even bring up Islam during Easter, unless he was Islamic. This is about the only thing he has been transparent about.
Thats the real objection. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you - the so-called “golden rule” - is by no means exclusive to Christianity, but Easter is a Christian festival where the emphasis should be on Christianity. Why then does he feel the need to bring other religions “take” in on it? I wouldnt mind so much except that, as you rightly point out, he never does the reverse.

No, he did not discuss Christianity during his Ramadan address. If I didn’t know better, I’d find it hard to be one of the 34% of Americans who can correctly identify Obama as a Christian.
It’s endless with this moron.
He really meant “Blow Up Your Neighbors.”
He wouldn’t want to hear my opinion on Ramadan.
