As opinion polls registered strong opposition to plans for an Islamic center near Ground Zero, President Obama on Wednesday issued a statement marking the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, calling the holiday "a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."
Obama said Ramadan is a time "when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God."
He noted Ramadan's call for prayer and sacrifice and almsgiving, and said that along with the gatherings of family and friends at sundown for iftar dinners to break the daily fast, they are reminders "that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

>> Obama Hails Islam As ‘Part Of America’ <<
*barf*
It’s the necrophiliac part.
What contribution is Zero talking about? The two airliners flown into the WTC?
He is beyond discription anymore. He is just pure EVIL.
“a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”
I’m always open to learning and to questioning my own views and facts. In what way has Islam always been a part of America and what, specifically, have been their extraordinary contributions?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Does Obama really believe this junk?
Being tolerant of people doesn’t mean that you have to kiss their ass.

Did he even acknowledge Christmas? I honestly don’t remember his saying much.
Up yours, Obama. Islam is a satanic death cult. Muslims have contributed NOTHING to this country.
I wish you would remove this. It’s terrible.
Hey Barry.....Chuck you, Farley!
Where would the bomb detection and airport security businesses be without them?
Islam isn’t part of America, and neither are you, you festering mongrel.
BULLSHIT!!
America aways has been Judo-Christian and this clown knows it
Islam has not contributed a damn thing to any country
One of the few things that Muslims have contributed to the USA is the John Hancock Ctr in Chicago. It was designed by Fazlur Khan. I own a condominium in that building, and conversed with his daughter via email about it. Ironically (given your title), she said he loved Beethoven later in life, as do I. Of course, Fazlur Khan predates the lunancy of current murderous Islam.
“a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”
OK, what was the name of the Muslim that came over on the Mayflower? Who was the Muslim that signed the Declaration of Independence?
I could go on, but I think I made a point.
mooslim contribution to civilization??? (crickets...)
