Obama praises Muslim immigrants for helping build America
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 7/26/13 | PAUL BEDARD

Posted on 07/27/2013 8:30:06 AM PDT by ColdOne

Hosting Muslim officials and business leaders at a State Dining Room dinner, Obama said, "Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation — and we've seen the results. We've seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants — farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of our universe."

And all of those Jiffy Marts and Quik Marts and all of the kiosks in the malls. Such contribution. Along with bomb makers, plane crasher and mayhem dealers. What a doucherocket.

Considering how they destroyed some of our “highest skyscrapers” on 9-11, should he really have mentioned that particular item????? Which I also would challenge him if that’s really true in the first place.

***Did I miss that history lesson on how the Muslims built the railroads?***

Irish moslems or Chinese moslems? I believe the first moslems came to the US about 1900, after most railroads were built.

How many “Muslim farmers” are there in America? How many Muslim farmers have there ever been in America??

You would swear that Muslims lined up en masse to go settle the west when the Homestead Act was passed in the 19th century.

Does this president even know history????

Now, now, there were at least 3, perhaps 4, Muslims being recruited by Slim Pickens and Harvey Korman in the bad man line up in Blazing Saddles. Maybe that is where the pResident saw them.

His remarks missed one important fact.

Hosting Muslim officials and business leaders at a State Dining Room dinner, Obama said, "Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the destruction of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their works, have helped to destroy our nation — and we've seen the results. We've seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants —No farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped blow up some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of what we know of a 1300 year old stale religion which has no place in good things. ."

There! Fixed it!

Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country

It is certain that some Muslims were imported as slaves, mainly during colonial times.

Muslim Africans from the Senegal/Gambia region were especially prized by the rice planters of SC and GA, since the farming techniques used in those colonies were basically copied from their homelands.

But specific influence or leadership positions, nonsense.
