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."

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

That's the key. Bush was being PC while knowing full well what barbarians they are. Obama, who before the election went all out to conceal his Islamic roots, actually means it.

[Budge]

"The one" can't catalog them because there aren't any contributions.

[Freddd]

Progress??? Progress at what infiltrating our congress, white house, government, banking, law enforcement...????

[Freddd]

Amen. There are no moderates. They lie in wait. They are here.

[greatplains]

Disgusting, nauseating, insulting...

At this point, anyone who doesn’t think Barry Hussein is a muslim, is by default, dumb as a box of rocks!

They sure changed the skyline of NYC.

Those muslim scum will remove Obama’s head if they get the opportunity.

Not one of their own who is doing the work of Allah.

[Califreak]

He’s the perfect “inside” guy for them.

One of their own, bringing America down.

The ultimate coup for the jihadists.

“...this guy is now calling us a muslim nation...”

You’re right, there is no widespread outrage. We’re good sheep now. We’re lambs heading to slaughter.

FR? .....out there on the fringe.

[Piquaboy]

I am trying, but I cannot remember those things.

[crazydad]

9/11 whats that? I really do not remember what happened that day? Geez our glorious president has really made strides in our muslim nation.. All hail Ming er Obama. People be ready. He is setting up his army in this country.. Black Panthers and muslims will be his new civilian army.

[Budge]

Thank you patriot08 for the pictures and video.

ALL should watch and read...again!

[Uncle Hal]

What is this crap? Who is this guy we have as president.

[dfwgator]

Is what Obama said much different than this:

When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that’s made brothers and sisters out of every race — out of every race.

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.

(In case you forgot, those were the words of George W Bush)

[Joiseydude]

But GWB never said,

"I will stand with them (the Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

"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

So I've read. Crispus El Attucks was the first Muslim killed in the American Revolution. Imans issuing fatwas against slaver owners helped spark the civil war. Muslim immigrants, dangling from baskets, blasted the path through the Sierra for the transcontiental railroad. Then there were the Muslim code talkers on Iwo Jima. And the all Muslim fighter pilot squadron over Europe in WWII.
