Obama Celebrates ‘Large and Small’ Contributions of Muslim Americans

What a contrast to his reaction to this year’s National Prayer Day organized by Christians when Obama merely issued a simple statement on a piece of paper.

Oh what an uproar it would be, starting with Pelosi and rolling downhill, if Obama were to praise the contributions of Christian or Jewish Americans to society.
Liberal Politicians are the APEX of hypocrisy.

What a great President! Though he is a Christian, Obama has reached out to minority religions in America, celebrating Passover and now Ramadan! I I am very honored to have such a president who understands what America is all about.

You are way off base GKing . . .
President Obama declared May Jewish American Heritage Month, saying that the “United States would not be the country we know without the achievements of Jewish Americans.”
Obama said that Jewish American community has set an example for all Americans. “They have demonstrated that Americans can choose to maintain cultural traditions while honoring the principles and beliefs that bind them together as American,” said Obama. “Jewish American history demonstrates how America’s diversity enriches and strengthens us all.”

was part President Bush’s outreach to stress that America isn’t at war with Islam, but with violent extremists.”
Islam is violent extremism. The End.

Islam is violent extremism. The End.

ever really read up on the history of Christianity?
you should, you might learn a few things….

But to deny one’s faith simply to get elected to public office, at whatever level, seems not only highly immoral and actually blasphemous to me.

and you arrived at this revelation, how?
‘highly immoral ‘ and ‘blasphemous’.. I just love it when the uninformed use new words….

If only we knew then what we know now.

do tell……. ‘enquiring’ minds want to know what ‘we now know’

Obama at Easter
“I speak to you today during a time that is holy and filled with meaning for believers around the world. Earlier this week, Jewish people gathered with family and friends to recite the stories of their ancestors’ struggle and ultimate liberation. Tomorrow, Christians of all denominations will come together to rejoice and remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
“These are two very different holidays with their own very different traditions. But it seems fitting that we mark them both during the same week. For in a larger sense, they are both moments of reflection and renewal. They are both occasions to think more deeply about the obligations we have to ourselves and the obligations we have to one another, no matter who we are, where we come from, or what faith we practice.
………….
“As we celebrate Passover, Easter, and this time of renewal, let’s find strength in our shared resolve and purpose in our common aspirations. And if we can do that, then not only will we fulfill the sacred meaning of these holy days, but we will fulfill the promise of our country as a leader around the world.”

Christianity is not some medieval religion.
Christianity is the 1st century teachings of a Jew named Yeshua as recorded in the Gospels.
If it contradicts what Yeshua taught, it’s not Christianity.
For the history of real Christianity, read up on the lives of the 1st and 2nd century Christians.

Why do conservatives hate America?

Really? Are you that blindly partisan that you want to lump everyone together? You can no more accurately say that all conservatives are one thing than someone else could say all liberals are another.
As a registered Independent, I seriously held out hope that the one thing this administration would be able to do was to put the partisanship aside like the President promised on the campaign trail.
Instead of holding to that promise, he’s appointed some of the most polarizing characters imaginable. Then he allows Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to get drunk with power to the point where they’re scornfully mocking half of the country.
A poster earlier mentioned that the times have a-changed. I agree, but not all change is for the better. It’s more hateful and divisive than ever out there, as is witnessed by the sweeping generalization of the above quoted post.

You are right Jen it is more hateful and divisive out there since the last time the Republicans were not in power!!

Let’s see- he denied a flyover for an event deemed “too Christian” (the first denital in 42 years) and completely ignored National Prayer Day.
He had a 5 minute greeting for Ramadan and now this.
Hmm. It’s becoming a clear pattern.
I wonder if Michelle likes wearing a burqua.

What exactly are the Muslim contributions to the world in the last 100 years?
The Muslim religion spends most of their efforts trying to keep their people oppressed, living in the mindset and lifestyle of over 2,000 years ago.
No new ideas or advancement of culture comes when the religion suffocates and oppresses the people.

Contributions of American Muslims???
One may only wonder what those contributions might be?
Was Obama speaking literally?
How about the funding of the charities that support Hamas, Hezbollah & others?
Instructional videos on IEDs?
Have we missed something in the NY Times or other major Western media?
More ‘evidence’ of the ‘vast Zionist conspiracy?’
Perhaps energy independence will discourage ‘fearless leader one’ (POTUS) from feeling the need to kowtow to this sect of violence that seeks our destruction.
Was it Lenin who said, “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them?”
If so, he was wrong.
It’s the Muslim oil potentates who literally have us over an oil barrel and have been saying, “The degenerate Christian/Jewish West will sell us the OIL with which they will build the dirty bombs to terrorize them into submission to Islam & Sharia.”
Unless your idea of the ‘future’ is the return to the Middle Ages, stop the massive, ill-conceived massive transfer of wealth to people who seek only our destruction and the imposition of Islam & Sharia.

Do we need any more evidence that this guy is a closeted muslim? I know that Bush tried to appease these weasels with a ramadam feast but he DID NOT attempt to “educate” us on how “wonderful” this religion is…. Where is the ACLU?? What about separation of church and state? Why is our president lecturing to us on the values of a religion? Why does he go to muslim nations and apologize for the evils of the US but praises the name of Allah??? Is anyone else confused???

Is Obama only concerned about Islam? It seems that every speech he makes or foreign trip he goes on is about, or to, Muslim countries. Obama can hold whatever faith he wishes but could he, every-so often, mention a faith other than Islam? And where all are the protestors who were upset with Bush wearing his religion on his sleeve? Obama should realize that he represents ALL US citizens- not just Muslims.

Obama’s opinion poll just went down another 2 points. How much of this BS does he think people will take?

Uh-oh, looks like Democrat Chuck Schumer just joined the evil Right Wing hate machine……..
Sen. Chuck Schumer yesterday called for sanctions against Britain if there was a “quid-pro-quo” involving the release of the Lockerbie bomber and Libya’s approval of a multibillion-dollar oil deal.
“You can’t allow a vicious terrorist who killed so many to go free after eight years,” the New York Democrat said. “If it is true that there was a quid pro quo — and it hasn’t been proven yet — there ought to be some sanctions against Britain.”

“It just proves that muslim upbringing does count. He had no time for the national prayer day but has time to host a dinner for muslims. Anyone see something wrong here.”
Yeah Lizzie is a bigot.

You are right Jen it is more hateful and divisive out there since the last time the Republicans were not in power!!

Exactly!

“…refers to himself as a Muslim on Larry King’s program…”
Would you provide that exact quote please? In the meantime, I’ll provide one for you.
KING: A “Newsweek” poll shows that 12 percent of America believes that you’re a Muslim, and 26 believe — 26 percent believe you were raised in a Muslim home. A lot of misinformation. How do you fight that?
OBAMA: Well, you know, by getting on “Larry King” and telling everybody I’m a Christian and I wasn’t raised in a Muslim home.

Hawaii has the long-form birth certificate. Obama refuses to release it.
WHY?
What do you know about Obama?
BREAL

The big ZERO is soon to appear.
For myself that is how he started and now his real colors are shown to us all.
Thank God!
Watch every move, what he says, whom he talks with. The Joker is wild and very sad that he was allowed to stitched close all the talking mouths…..
Please step down and go away please obama you have harmed us enougt already

And, btw, “Allah” just means God in Arabic, Arab jews and Christians all say “Allah”. Islam is in the same Abrahamic tradition as Christianity and Judism, the first 3 religions to have a monotheistic God. The point is to quit treating it like some bizarre foreign religion that is disconnected from the rest.
The US military is ACTIVELY seeking the service of Muslim Americans to serve as our efforts around the world would benefit since they are mostly in muslim dominated nations. The need to reach out around the world and diffuse the belief we are actually at war with a religion is hugely important. It seems though many Americans and Muslims around the world are confused about the same thing, but we were and have never been at war with a religion, hence Bush’s yearly attendence to the Ramadan celebration dinner. We are allied to or at least have good, cooperative relations with most if not all the nations who’s ambassadors who were invited to the dinner.

E.E Parrish -
President Obama celebrated Passover and Easter as well this year.
p.s – with the internet and search engines (news search engines are good), you can find this information out, so as to avoid become needlessly upset.

While Obama seeks to embrace Islam and its Jihad by recognizing them is beyond comprehension. I recognize Islam by remembering the videos of Nick Berg having his head sawn-off on Television and never hearing an objection from these wonderful Muslims. The War on Terrorism continues despite his empty rhetoric which tries to justify their very existence.

This message for those who negatively commented on Islam and President Obama,
We suppose to judge people including our President by their actions and not by their faith or skin color.
Christopher Columbus reached this land with the technology that was present in Islamic Spain (1492). This technology was developed by muslim scientists in Spain.
All I can say, go and visit southern Spain and see yourself the advancement in sciences and civilaization. Also take a little time and read about islam in general and fanatics.
