Obama Praises Islam as 'Great Religion'
FoxNews ^ | Tuesday, September 01, 2009

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast.

The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

Let us NEVER forget those nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Don’t let Obama desecrate the memory of those Americans who were murdered by his fellow Muslims. Send this video to everyone you know.

Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack:

This video has been viewed by untold millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
(Sadly, the New Yorker who made this video has since succumbed to lung damage sustained during the attack)

The video includes the planes crashing into the buildings and victims jumping. There are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Enya. It is truly awesome.

I’ve read that in the 1950s, there were only 2 mosques in the US, and both numbered their members in the hundreds.

I’ve been to Afghanistan...their contributions there include killing their women whenever they wish, and killing infidels any time they get the chance. Great religion.

Wasn't Resident Obamah AWOL on The National Day of Prayer?

And I guess there are no Rev. Wright type Black Nationalist churches in the DC area since Obamah hasn't joined a real Christian church in the area.

"a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

"Justice": Hanging a woman because she was raped.

"Progress": Having a gallows anywhere you can put a motor crane...

Where is everybody? They are getting their government checks, watching TV, laying around inside their government housing, and talking on their cell phones.

This kind of phony kowtowing was nauseating when Bush did it. But I think B.O. really means it. What an ignorant fool.

Islam’s “commitment to JUSTICE and PROGRESS??” The extraordinary irrelevance of facts to our leftist pals never ceases to amaze me. Evidently Hussein gives his Islamic comrades credit for progressing all the way to the 8th or 9th century. The justice part? Perhaps the suicide bombers are using CLEAN nuts, bolts and metal shards in their homemade devices!
