That's the liberal "study" of history in a nutshell - the manipulation of images to promote their program.

Let's see, if I substitute "global warming" for "history", this sentence reads....

Translation: she told him to get his crazed butt off the prayer rug and go find a job.

That would tend to explain the burka.

"I have studied the history of astronomy and physics. The Muslims contributed nothing."

In the interest of historical accuracy, your statement is not quite true: many of the (mostly unpronounceable) names of major constellation stars are Arabic...

Not my statement. I merely posted the article.

Those who knew Obama in his university days claim that he couldn’t be persuaded to study history.

Hey, he was a Poli Sci major. History and Economics weren't on his "required" curriculum. Besides, they might require some serious work, and he surely could not be bothered with that. After all, he had autobiographies to write!

I can’t address (Muslim)advances in medicine,

Muslims have made great strides in medicine such as:

The precise number of strokes using a dull blade to whack off a head of an infidel
They proved it is medically impossible to cross breed with goats
They proved you can intermarry within your gene pool for six centuries and still have something that resembles a human being, though mentally deficient.
Your penis does in fact not disappear when you shake the hand of a infidel or use his comb

These and other great strides in civilization brought to you by Mo' and his merry band of madman.

What “history” Zero learned must have been some conflation of Afro and Muslim centric teaching learned at the knee of Rev Wright and others.

Muhammad was a fracking scizophrenic.

When in doubt, lie; its the obozo way. He only cares about how he looks when he says these things and becoming a dictator.

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam”

Imagine if the reps from GB,France, and the US said that, “we owe the freedom of France and the world to Christianity.”

The double standard is amazing.

Islam is a fake religion with a murderous pagan as a prophet. I don’t even understand how a pillager like Muhammad can even be thought of as a person who is the basis of a religion.

He said something in his speech about Islam not having a history of racism.

Something to consider: between 9 and 12 million Africans were taken to Brazil, the Caribbean and the United States in the Atlantic slave trade. All those places have thriving black communities.

Between 11 and 17 million Africans were taken in the Islamic slave trade. Where are those thriving black communities? Something to make you go hmmmm.

The slave trade in East Africa was ended by the British inspired by David Livingston. It had been controlled by Arabs in places like, well, um, Kenya.

Obama is more likely a descendant of these slavers than a descendant of their victims.

western historical accounts differ from the historical mythology of the muslim world.

That's my take on him. Too much time caterwalling "the most beautiful sound in the world".

I wondered why this showed up in the astronomy keyword:
All modern physics descends from Galileo (1564 -1642); all modern astronomy from Copernicus (1473-1543). If you study Galileo's works carefully, as I have, you see that he started with the achievements of the Greek mathematical physicist Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287 BC - c. 212 BC). If you study Copernicus' works carefully, as I have, you will see that Copernicus' great book On the Revolutions is essentially a heliocentric re-working of the geocentric astronomy textbook by the Greek Ptolemy (c. 90 AD - 168 AD). Copernicus mostly used even Ptolemy's data for the positions of the planets.

Islam is not racist?

Ask Obama where the Jews that lived in Saudi Arabia before Islam was invented went? Look up the history of the ‘Quraithah Jews’.

And why to this day, Jews are not allowed to enter Saudi Arabia and non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the city of Mecca?

That’s racism and Obama is too much of an idiot to notice or is a flat out liar.

In addition, did you notice how Obama called the Koran in his speech, ‘the Holy Koran’ while he has never called the Bible the ‘the Holy Bible’?

Cairo was definitely Obama's coming out party to his fellow muslims.
