(CNN) - Seeking to rebut what he views as perilous election-year bombast about Muslims, President Barack Obama is at a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday, his first visit to such a site in the United States.

"Muslim Americans keep us safe," Obama told the audience, crediting the contributions Muslims have made to communities. "They are our police. They are our fire fighters. They're in (the Department of) Homeland Security."

At the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a 47-year-old mosque with thousands of attendees, Obama heralded the contributions of Muslims to American society while issuing a forceful counterpoint to the language favored by some Republican presidential candidates like Donald Trump, according to White House officials.

Sometimes I think Obama’s statements are based on a bet. I think he wakes up in the morning, turns to his wife and says “Reggie, I bet I can say *insert absurd statement here* and nobody will call me out on it.

[firebrand]

He has totally lost it. Or is completely on the other side. How long do they think they can hold back the truth?

The end of his time in office cannot come soon enough.

[MarvinStinson]

Yeah muslim Americans kept us real safe during the Fort Hood mass murder and the San Bernadino mass murder.

ALL Muslims, “American” or otherwise, are subject to “Sudden Jihadist Syndrome”, a remarkable display of blazing religious fervor marked by spraying the room with a semi-automatic or illegally obtained or converted fully automatic machine gun, shouts of “Allahu akbar!”, or the wielding of machetes or sabers used for the express purpose of decapitating the Kufir. Various explosive devices, both worn as a vest, or left resting in some public place with high foot traffic, or the use of high velocity vehicles being crashed into targets of opportunity at unexpected intervals.

And everybody is a Kufir once the jiggly little corpuscles circulating in their veins get energized.

This mental state is nourished and encouraged in the various mosques and “prayer rooms” being established in every corner of that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
