"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 wrote in the Virginia statute for religious freedom that the “Mohammedan†should have his faith protected in the United States.
Obama met with Muslim leaders during a visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore, before delivering a speech there. This is Obama’s first visit to a mosque as president – although George W. Bush also visited a mosque in New York City after the attacks of 9/11.
During his speech, he praised the religion for being a religion of peace – not the hate preached by groups like ISIS.
“The very word Islam comes from ‘Salam’ – peace,†he said. “The standard greeting is ‘As-Salaam-Alaikum’ – ‘Peace be upon you,’†he explained".....

You’re correct .. it has not.
And .. as far as I can see .. their major contributions to America have been chaos and death of Americans.
Im thinkin of the “A” word! Yes... that one...ends in “e”.
Yes, islamics have been apart of American history....Thomas Jefferson said: only way to deal with people who’s only goal is to kill you, is to kill them first. 1801
I distinctly recall all of the Muslim pilgrims.
Agreed, crusades didn’t kill enough of them
How did this idiot ever get elected as President of the United States of America?
Another “in your face America” moment. Watch for him to turn up the intensity on that in the remaining months.
“Opposite sides of the then political spectrum who KNEW the enemy and what to do to get rid of them.”
Yes, Thomas Jefferson acquired a copy of the koran and studied it to learn how to deal with them. He concluded the only way to deal with them was to kill them.
Liar. Muzzies have never been part of American History. Okay, supposedly a Muzzie helped row Washington’s boat across the Delaware River. What the Muzzie is spewing is garbage he was taught in Indonesian schools. If Soetoro knew anything about American History, he wouldn’t be so willing to destroy the country. All he knows about America is what he was told by America-hating, Marxist “professors” as he toked his way towards a college diploma.
“Can anyone name just one notable Muslim who played a constructive role in American history? I don’t know of any.”
Or ANY history for that matter.
Every supposed “Muslim Invention” was shown to be stolen or from an earlier time...
From the Halls of MontezumaTo the shores of Tripoli...
Tripoli refers to the Barbary War.
Think “Shores of Tripoli” ;-P
Did he name any of these wonderful contributions?
“Created 434 openings for new firefighters at the NY Fire Dept?”
“New horizons in skyscraper demolition techniques?”
“Muslim interaction at Christmas parties?”
“Thousands of new jobs in airline security?”
“How did this idiot ever get elected as President of the United States of America?”
1) Free Stuff
2) Brown people voting purely by color + white guilt
3) Voter Fraud
4) Massive cover-up of all his records
Of course...
greatly influence the economy of the Dutch government of of New Amsterdam..
all those 60 Guilder a pop ransoms they had to pay to get their American people back from the Islamic Barbary pirates...
Well, the Muslim slave-holders and pirates across the north Africa (sound familiar to anyone ) first began taking their American victims BEFORE 1800... By the time Jefferson bought his Koran “to better understand my enemy” in 1801, and well before he began effectively fighting them in 1803 with better ships and better US commanders (sound familiar?) ... it seems that there have been very, very few years when Muslims were NOT in the US history.
As enemies, pirates, extortionists, and slaveholders.
Oh yes. The Muslims were taking US prisoners since before 1800.
They raided the coasts of europe,for white slaves for a thusand years at least.
Give me a hint. Does it have “S’s” and and an “H” in the middle?
No muz will ever be my countryman. I’ll never trust one.
