President Obama spoke warmly about Islam during his speech at a mosque today, highlighting the contributions that Muslims had made to the fabric of American society.

“Islam has always been part of America,” he said, detailing the beginnings of the religion among African slaves brought to America. He also pointed out that Thomas Jefferson included the “Mohammedan” as one of the religions that should be protected.

That’s kind of the secular vain pursuit that is sometimes called “liberal” in spite of how illiberal it turns out to be. Just by pretending they are about peace, we can make them peaceful. Well no we can’t.

Obama tells another lie. Islam had virtually nothing to do with how the United States was founded. It’s a false religion and most Americans have always known that.

What a bunch of BS. Islam has been part of America in the sense that Columbus looked for a way to get to India because the Muslim Turks took Constantinople in 1453. Also, one might add that the first overseas expedition of the new US was against the Islamic Barbary Coast pirates. He mention Adams and Jefferson owning Korans. Well Obama failed to mention both men did not have kind things to say about Islam. The only good thing is the first foreign country to recognize the US was the Kingdom of Morocco.
I agree they have never done anything good for our country. They have mainly caused problems around the middle east, they are now spreading all over the world.

That’s his specialty and he is good at it. Won the Peace prize for doing nothing but the opposite. A legacy he has.

Thanks to islam, our british overlords got to buy plenty of slaves to work the sugar cane and tobacco fields in the New World

I think obama was right and arab muslim slavers played a big roles in shaping our nation

As our first Muslim President, it make sense for him to visit the mosque. He probably has prayer rugs in the Oval Office!

No, Obama, Islam has not always been part of American. They hate us, promote Sharia law that conflicts with our Constitution.

Well, to some extent he is correct: It has always been part of the problem in America’s side.

Sstarting with the war against Barbary pirates, who Thomas Jefferson dispatched to no-mans’ land. The USA was paying tribute to these Muslims since the country was born.

Whom else could he be referring to?

Well if count the muslim slavers that sold slaves to the Americans as being part of America, than I would agree with that part, but that part only.
