Re: President Invokes Quaran.
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.
