"Obama said in his speech that Muslims are our sports heroes. What sport is he talking about, and who? Is Obama profiling?" Mr. Trump tweeted early Monday morning.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any Muslim major-league baseball players,Sam Khalifa played the last half of 1985 and the first part of 1986 with the Pirates. Had a .185 batting average in '86 with them. Now apparently driving a taxicab.

My mind drew a BLANK on sports heroes and none that are listed here are mine.
Figures the Muslim Marxist would consider the listed his.

He also said the muslims who have served in our military. Major Hasan comes to mind.

Top Jewish athlete would probably be the ‘Hebrew Hammer’ Frank Greenberg. Second, maybe Sandy Koufax. Third, Bill Goldberg - first player cut by the Carolina Panthers.

Wait a minute. Black Muslim is not even the same ballpark.

It all makes sense if one connects the dots. Obama identifies as a Moslem when he doesn't practice taqqiyah,
dreams of his father and all that.
List of Muslim sportspersons

And Kareem Abdul JabarHe is a known misogynist. Read the story on him from his wife or girlfriend. It is a muslim thing.

You add to that, the Muslims castrated nearly all the black male slaves they brought back to Arab or Ottoman lands, and American slavery looks hands down a better fate.
That’s why the Western Hemisphere has black people, and Saudi Arabia or Turkey pretty much do not.
To: Dutch Boy
Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor.
They were not ‘muslim americans’; they were Americans who converted to muslim.
It was under the non-muslim upbringing that they became sports heroes.
