President Obama spoke warmly about Islam during his speech at a mosque today, highlighting the contributions that Muslims had made to the fabric of American society.

“Islam has always been part of America,” he said, detailing the beginnings of the religion among African slaves brought to America. He also pointed out that Thomas Jefferson included the “Mohammedan” as one of the religions that should be protected.

In his final year, the Obama mask will be completely removed.

Nope. not possible. Jefferson was not irrational. Mohammedanism is contradictory to the principles of natural rights in the Declaration of Independence,

Obama does have a point.

If you consider the Barbary pirates, Islam has always been a part of America, always an enemy of America that is.

There’s a wonderful book by historian Barbara Tuchman, I think from the 1980s titled The First Salute, where she credits the Dutch, on an island in the Caribbean, for the first recognition of America. She also wrote a couple of Pulitzer Prize winners, like The Guns of August.
Maybe it’s not the same thing, but I detest the idea of giving muslims credit for anything to do with America.

I almost wrecked my car when the radio played the clip of Odumbo stating this. He needs to be slapped silly for his ignorance.

What a bunch of crap. Jefferson owned a Koran so he could understand these animals. After reading it he had a full understanding of where they were coming from.

In 1786, Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripolis ambassador to Great Britain to demand to know by what right the Muslim states could attack another nations ships and enslave the sailors.

It's well documented that Jefferson recorded the ambassadors response, in which he said that Islam was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.

Jefferson went to war against the Barbary Pirates in 1801 with a full understanding of what they were doing and why - he was not encumbered with political correctness or panty wastes at the time and took care of business.

FUBO!!

It is true that islam has always been a part of American history, just as islam has been a part of world history.

In the exact same ways, doing the same sorts of things for the same exact reasons, with exactly the same results, virtually everywhere it goes.

As such, history wasn't surprised that Hitler and islam would be allies with similar enemies.

Hitler is gone, but 70+ years later islam is still here and stronger than ever before and more popular than ever before.

History says, "Here's your sign."

Islam has always been a part of America??
Even our forefathers declared it backwards and even dangerous.

Islam a part of America?
What have they contributed besides flying planes into the twin towers and pentagon, murdering almost 3,000 innocent Americans?
They will never assimilate or accept our laws and way of life. The Koran commands them to colonize all countries and bring them under Sharia law by killing all ‘infidels.’

Yet PC crippled Americans ignore thr sucker punch of 9/11.
What will it take to make dumbed- down Americans to realize the true nature of Islam?

“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193

If you refuse to fight, Allah will afflict you with a painful doom. 9:39

THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:

Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .

MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:

“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).

THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:

“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.”

OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

And they may have had other mystic works as well, not meaning they believed in them, but they wanted to be educated on the various thought systems in the world.

Wow, that must have been the shortest speech of his Presidency. How long did it take...15 seconds?

At first glance, I thought your headline read:
Obama Visits Morgue:’Islam Has Always Been A Part of America.’

I like my version better. Islam should reside within the morgue of man-made religions.

That’s why all those 300 year-old minarets dot the landscape of towns and villages in New England.

Their logic is that the first black slaves sold in Virginia by Dutch merchants were muslims and were forced to convert to Christianity, but they didn't really convert; they merely remained clandestine muslims, and they helped build America.

Obviously this is fiction, but it serves their purpose.
