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.

you gotta stop listening to chris mattews and his ilk commanding respect ? do you mean when he sent his tax cheat githner to china to speak and when he told the chinese university students that we are a reponsible finacial society they laughed openly in his face. thats repect ? how about the english reporter who wrote a scathing article in thier paper criticizing him for his apology tour, do you mean when he bowed to the waist to the saudi king and people in line with the king laughed thats respect ? the only person more nervous than the majority of americans is bin ladin who is scared to death he is going to convince the muslims he is a full muslim not just a half muslim . that alone scares me even more! btw im a virtual life long dem. but there is no way i could vote for that guy he is a left wing 60s radical whose only experience before he got this position was he was a community organizer well so were the BLACK PANTHERS. your known by the company you keep and a lot of his buddies were cop killers/ domestic terrorists and outright thieves and they dont apologize for it today and say they wish they did more

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.
