"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".....

I watched this on CNN ,,, he tied Islam to the slave trade by naming the slaves as followers of Mad MO ... he failed to mention that they were subjugated and sold by other Mad Mohamaddans...
The whole thing was an exercise in taqiyya.
He is right in a way. Muslims kidnapped Africans and sold them into slavery. Sadly, our nation allowed this to happen. Obama’s forefathers were quite possibly slave traders. He is certainly not a descendent of American slaves.
I can speak on behalf of American Indians who have been around since at least 8-10,000 BC or earlier that they had never met a Moslem until maybe the 1600’s or later. Seems Obama’s knowledge of American history only goes back 400 years or less. I guess he didn’t study too hard in “HIGH” school, college or law school.

Since I’m a paralegal, I can claim a Junior Membership in the “Sue Tribe”, the tribe for legal beagles and staff.
My wife might be 1/64 Iroquois or Cherokee. I think that part is the tip of her left little toe. Around my teepee she is known as “Squaw who must be obeyed”. If not, you don’t get to keep your wampum and you get a good ass “whampin’” too.
Life can be hard as an Elizabeth “Fauxchahontas” Warren Indian. That is why I am also a member of the “other Tribe”. Pays to have a backup tribe membership around - enhances your “diversity” and the ability to get free things such as land, casinos, media publicity, and to fool Democrat voters.
Ain’t America great? We have a half-African, half white American as president, a fake Indian as Senator from Massachusetts, two Cuban-parented presidential candidates, a stinky old Commie running for the presidency on the Democrat ticket, and also the Married in Moscow red Bernie Sanders who is also running for the presidency as a Faux Democrat.
Singing “Only In America”.
He is correct. Islam and America are like Lex Luthor and Superman. Islam has been the enemy of freedom and liberty in our country since 1776.
“America would be just fine if Islam never existed and/or if every Mohammedan packed their bags and left for good.
0bama proves yet again that he hates this country.”
Correct. Hussein has proved yet again he is a MUSLIM, through and through.
YEP
Kidnapping
Ransoming captives or enslaving them or outright murdering them
Barbary Pirates
Yeah .... that part
Islam is at WAR WITH THE WEST
effeminate PC LIBTARDS THINK OTHERWISE
The solution is to bomb them back to the stone age...asap
First, I’ve heard they build mosques(per an iman on tv they are aka barracks) in places where they think they have had a jihadi victory. Second, I’ve heard the dates when they attack are chosen because they have a significant meaning of some sort. I am wondering if before they make a significant attack do they have some sort of rally, prayer group meeting, like having a top leader visit the mosque/barracks for encouragement? Lately I’ve heard and read that “the chatter” is something bigger then 911 is in the works and will happen soon. It worries me that our anti-president, in his final year of office, has visited, what some think of as his home base, a mosque/a barrack.
Nope, sorry Barack your boys were absent all of those stirring moments in American history!
Very well said. Do you mind if I use it?
I hope he gets raped at the next Muzzie Meetup. Seriously. That’s the only way they’ll learn, and I’m not sure even that will convince them.
He'd probably enjoy it.
The Jubilee of the Constitution
A DISCOURSE
Delivered at the Request of
The New York Historical Society
In the City of New York,
On Tuesday, the 30th of April, 1839
Being the Fiftieth Anniversary
Of the
INAUGURATION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
as
President of the United States
on Thursday, 30th of April, 1789.
by
John Quincy Adams
(Eldest son of John Adams, born in 1767, served as Minister to the Netherlands under President Washington, as minister to Prussia and to Russia, as Secretary of State, and as U.S. Senator. He was the Sixth President of the United States and from 1830 until his death in 1848 was a United States Congressman)
Excerpts:
“The motive for the Declaration of Independence was on its face avowed to be "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind." Its purpose to declare the causes which impelled the people of the English colonies on the continent of North America, to separate themselves from the political community of the British nation. They declare only, the causes of their separation, but they announce at the same time their assumption of the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, among the powers of the earth.
“Thus their first movement is to recognize and appeal to the laws of nature and to nature's God, for their right to assume the attributes of sovereign power as an independent nation.
“The causes of their necessary separation, for they begin and end by declaring it necessary, alleged in the Declaration, are all founded on the same laws of nature and of nature's God - and hence as preliminary to the enumeration of the causes of separation, they set forth as self-evident truths, the rights of individual man, by the laws of nature and of nature's God, to life, to liberty, to the pursuit of happiness. That all men are created equal. That to secure the rights of life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. All this is by the laws of nature and of nature's God, and of course presupposes the existence of a God, the moral ruler of the universe, and a rule of right and wrong, of just and unjust, binding upon man, preceding all institutions of human society and of government. It avers, also, that governments are instituted to secure these rights of nature and of nature's God, and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of THE PEOPLE to alter, or to abolish it, and to institute a new government - to throw off a government degenerating into despotism, and to provide new guards for their future security. They proceed then to say that such was then the situation of the Colonies, and such the necessity which constrained them to alter their former systems of government.”

“The Declaration of Independence recognized the European law of nations, as practiced among Christian nations, to be that by which they considered themselves bound, and of which they claimed the rights. This system is founded upon the principle, that the state of nature between men and between nations, is a state of peace. But there was a Mahometan law of nations, which considered the state of nature as a state of war - an Asiatic law of nations, which excluded all foreigners from admission within the territories of the state - a colonial law of nations, which excluded all foreigners from admission within the colonies - and a savage Indian law of nations, by which the Indian tribes within the bounds of the United States, were under their protection, though in a condition of undefined dependence upon the governments of the separate states. With all these different communities, the relations of the United States were from the time when they had become an independent nation, variously modified according to the operation of those various laws. It was the purpose of the Constitution of the United States to establish justice over them all.
“The commercial and political relations of the Union with the Christian European nations, were principally with Great Britain, France, and Spain, and considerably with the Netherlands and Portugal. With all these there was peace; but with Britain and Spain, controversies involving the deepest interests and the very existence of the nation, were fermenting, and negotiations of the most humiliating character were pending, from which the helpless imbecility of the confederation afforded no prospect of relief. With the other European states there was scarcely any intercourse. The Baltic was an unknown sea to our navigators, and all the rich and classical regions of the Mediterranean were interdicted to the commercial enterprise of our merchants, and the dauntless skill of our mariners, by the Mahometan merciless warfare of the Barbary powers. Scarcely had the peace of our independence been concluded, when three of our merchant-vessels had been captured by the corsairs of Algiers, and their crews, citizens of the Union, had been pining for years in slavery, appealing to their country for redemption, in vain. Nor was this all. By the operation of this state of things, all the shores of the Black sea, of the whole Mediterranean, of the islands on the African coast, of the southern ports of France, of all Spain and of Portugal, were closed against our commerce, as if they had been hermetically sealed; while Britain, everywhere our rival and competitor was counteracting by every stimulant within her power every attempt on our part to compound by tribute with the Barbarian for peace.
“Great Britain had also excluded us from all commerce in our own vessels with her colonies, and France, notwithstanding her alliance with us during the war, had after the conclusion of the peace adopted the same policy. She was jealous of our aggrandizement, fearful of our principles, linked with Spain in the project of debarring us from the navigation of the Mississippi, and settled in the determination to shackle us in the development of the gigantic powers which, with insidious sagacity, she foresaw might be abused.
“Notwithstanding all these discouragements, the inextinguishable spirit of freedom, which had carried your forefathers through the exterminating war of the Revolution, was yet unsuppressed. At the very time when the nerveless confederacy could neither protect nor redeem their sailors from Algerian captivity, the floating city of the Taho beheld the stripes and stars of the Union, opening to the breeze from a schooner of thirty tons, and inquired where was the ship of which that frail fabric was doubtless the tender. The Southern ocean was stiff vexed with the harpoons of their whalemen; but Britain excluded their oil, by prohibitory duties and the navigation act, from her markets, and the more indulgent liberality of France would consent to the illumination of her cities by the quakers of Nantucket, only upon condition that they should forsake their native island, and become the naturalized denizens of Dunkirk.
“In the same year, when the Convention at Philadelphia was occupied in preparing the Constitution of the United States for the consideration of the people, two vessels, called the Columbia and the Washington, fitted out by a company of merchants at Boston, sailed upon a voyage combining the circumnavigation of the globe, discovery upon the shores of the Pacific ocean, and the trade with the savages of the Sandwich islands, and with the celestial empire of China, all in one undertaking. The result of this voyage was the discovery of the Columbia river, so named from the ship which first entered within her capes, since unjustly confounded with the fabulous Oregon or river of the West, but really securing to the United States the right of prior discovery, and laying the foundation of the right of extension of our territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.”
Ever since the first American, Thomas Jefferson, arrived onto these shores from Europe, Islam has dominated the landscape.
No, spread it around.
Devoted Muslim and patriotic American is an oxymoron. Their “religion” prevents them from being loyal American citizens.
Islam has always been part of America
I see the Secret Service still gets the Best Drugs in DC, see Chip Carter for an explanation!
Big deal. Jefferson wrote a bunch of other stuff that this turd ignores.
Excellent. Thank you for that from Mr. John Adams. The comment on the Mahometan’s law of nations that considered the state of nature to be that of war, also known as jihad. And the inclusion of the NON-American states of Asiatic exclusion of foreigners, the colonies exclusion of all foreigners from the colony, and the undefined by the states dependency of the Indians who were under the protection of the Nation— these all being to show we as a nation tried to respect or at least separate out these groups as we sought common Independence. The absolute point of the muzzies was constant war— as their religion- and as it is to this day.
Quite clear that within our military they are given special treatment — not to offend. Have not ever noticed- since the recruitment of muzzies, that any conspicuous acts of gallantry or patriotic sacrifice has been acknowledged— they just punch the clock while they infiltrate. In-country, as we found in Iraq and in Afghan— they also “go native” in sympathy with their comrades (aka our enemy) in jihad. Have to watch them, but better ought to weed them out (except for the need for translators probably would have).
Yeah, the dimocrats have removed Jefferson’s name from their own Jefferson-Jackson dinner.....because of “slavery”... BUT he trots Jefferson out for convenience about the so-called separation of church and state— which did not even exist in the VA constitution, let alone the US one. Real conniving lying bastard— cocky with it and know it all... and dead f’n wrong.
