and the Bible and the Talmud.


He also made the point of affirming his Christianity while pointing to his father's family who are comprised of "many generations of Muslims."

From the article:

"As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and 1) heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk," he continued. "As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace 2) in their Muslim faith. As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam ... 3) I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story."


1) I heard the same thing too, it is part of my life's experiences from Iraq and Afghanistan.

No one is calling me Muslim, but then again, I am not the Democratic President of the U.S. drawing the ire of overzealous political hacks who want to bend and twist evrything our President does into something negative.


2) NEWSFLASH!!! The average Muslim is not a terrorist! Most Democrats know this. Sometimes the way Republicans connect Islam with terrorism makes you think they don't know this.


3) At the worst, he was trying to create a common gorund for which our country and Muslims of the world can work from-- a common ground that never existed while GWB was President.

His actions, words and policies alienated our country from them. Our current President is trying to correct this.

Still a bit odd for our president to totally embrace the Arab world.

I don't have an issue with BHO quoting the Quaran ... it's like any politician pandering to their audience. His audience was mostly Muslim, so it's no surprise he quoted from their favorite novel.

Prostitution is considered the world's oldest profession. Politics came along about 15 minutes later. No wonder the two career paths show such similar attributes.

what always part of americas history is he talking about ? 100 years ago, did we even have a muslim in this country? i seriously doubt it . and what debt does civilization owe to islam ? what a moron, he is making gwb look like a genius. at least he could hold a press conference without a teleprompter. and he knew protocol from the get go . there will never be any common ground they are our sworn enemies that is why the quoran orders every practicing muslim to kill an infidel in his lifetime [that is defintiely me and i am presuming you too unless you worship allah JD if so i guess your off the hook]
