United States President Barack Obama pleaded with Americans at a White House news conference on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, to not allow themselves to be divided by religion following a backlash sparked by a Florida preacher who had planned a Koran burning ceremony on Saturday, 11 September 2010 to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Obama reminded his people who their “true enemies were, naming Al-Qaeda and terrorists”, in a bid to protect American Muslims.
Pastor Terry Jones from Gainesville in Florida says he wants clarity on whether a planned New York mosque will be moved from near Ground Zero or not, that had been his condition for halting the ceremony but no one would commit.
His son says Pastor Jones will not now go ahead with the Koran burning event. The pastor flew to New York late on Friday, hoping to discuss the mosque.
"We have to make sure that we don't start turning on each other," Obama said at a White House news conference on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. "We are one nation under God and we may call that God different names, but we remain one nation," he said. "Our enemies are Al-Qaeda and their allies who are trying to kill us."
AFP reports that the president again condemned a threat by Jones to burn Korans on Saturday, which is now on hold, as "un-American" and warned people should not "play games" with the security of US troops abroad as such actions would place their lives in danger.
Obama also reiterated the constitutional right of American Muslims to build a cultural center that includes a mosque near the "Ground Zero" site in New York.
"If you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on a site."
Obama also pointedly referred to "my Christian faith" as he addressed his people, in an obvious swipe at conservatives who have often claimed he is a closet Muslim.
"We have got millions of Muslim Americans, our fellow citizens, in this country, they're going to school with our kids, they're our neighbors, they're our friends, they're our co-workers." "When we start acting as if their religion is somehow offensive, what are we saying to them?"
He also hailed the bravery of US Muslim soldiers in Afghanistan. "We don't differentiate between them and us. It's just us."
The president vowed a "new beginning" with Islam.
“but we remain one nation”
For the time being...
To all readers...
There is NO ONE more capable to vow a new beginning with Islam!
.....ever wonder why zero is popular with the muslims?

Another thing I noticed during a wide shot FOX did was a massive teleprompter. A teleprompter at a press conference?
Rush was talking about the teleprompter today. Obama had canned answers about the economy on it. Obama is a bumbling idiot and I don’t believe he’s a Christian.
Bing!Bing!Bing!
Yes! Folks we have a winner!
You sir! You won the Kewpie Doll!
Beginning what, persecutions?
Press conference teleprompter. That was classic!
He gets asked a clear question, “Is the Muslim cultural center near Ground Zero APPROPRIATE?”
And he says “yes they have a right.”
But... burning the Koran. He didn’t say “He has a right but it’s not appropriate.”
He said, “Sadly there’s nothing I can do to stop him.”
Where’s the ACLU?
Aren’t they for, what’s it called.....
hmmmmm....
Oh, yeah.
FREE SPEECH!!!!
I like the old beginning, from the 17th century Cossacks:
Mehmed IV to the Zaporozhye Cossacks:
“As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the Sun and Moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians—I command you, the Zaporozhye Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
—Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV”
Zaporozhye Cossacks’ reply (edited):
“Thou art a turkish imp, the damned devil’s brother and friend, and a secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight art thou that cannot slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil sh*ts, and your army eats. Thou a son of a b*tch wilt not ever make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, f**k thy mother.
Thou art the Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-f**ker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, Armenian pig, Podolian villain, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, a fool before our God, a grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our d*ck. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. Thou wilt not even be herding Christian pigs. Now we shall conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t have a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year in the book, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host”
Personally, I think a raiding party of Cossacks would be of more worth than the entire United States State Department, the TOTUS, and the TOTUS’ hermaphroditic minion, knob polisher and community bloviator.
Barack Hussein Obama (rhymes with Osama) can lie to the pinheads in the MSM all he wants. I’m not buying his lies. He is a Muslim whether he wants to admit it or not.
“If you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on a site.”
BUT THE JEWS AND THE INDIANS DID NOT ATTACK US AND KILL/MURDER 3000 AMERICANS YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“my Christian faith”
Taqiyya.
obama lies and he, and his muslim friends around the world, know exactly why he’s saying it.
The Arrogant One has no place lecturing America on how we should think about Islam. His loyalties belong elsewhere.
They set small fires across this nation hoping one will be productive. “the president pleaded with Americans” nuff said!
These are a MUST SEE.

“Now we shall conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t have a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year in the book, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!”
That’s a great reply. The dhimmis and politically correct morons would have strokes if any politician today said that.
First, they will have to change the Koran which advocates
violence and death to infidels.
Obama is asked to become the Caliph of all of Islam and we need to ask where his allegiance lies?
