If you do not understand why the President said those words after 9-11, you are not thinking about the security of the nation, nor do you understand the dynamic in the war on terror.
As far as homosexuals, he simply doesn't discriminate against them. That is the LAW, in case you haven't noticed, and he swore to uphold the LAW when he was sworn in.
I am not getting into the immigration discussion, because for those who are anti-Mexican, there is no improvement good enough with the exception of a 20-foot high electrified barb wire fence manned by machine gunners and backed up by land mines.

So what you're saying is that only lukewarm Muslims are peaceful. Which is to say that the only peaceful Muslim is an unfaithful Muslim. Because any faithful Muslim is faithful to the Koran, which commands violence.
And your false dilemma on immigration begs the question.

No matter. Christianity is loving. But it is also commanded to judge others, according to the word. John 7:24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Christianity is compassionate, but is also to be intolerant of evil. Eph. 5:11: Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Concerning homosexuals that you are so tolerant of? Romans 1 says such are worthy of death.
You seem to be hiding behind the skirt of moral relativism, but it won't work.
