Obama WAY Overstates Islam Importance in the US

In his apology speech to the Muslim world this morning, Barack Hussein Obama, who now brags about freely admits that his family is Muslim, talked about the huge role Islam has played in the history of our country.  Huge.  Really.  Here’s a quote from Ofail’s address:

I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims. And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Quran that one of our Founding Fathers – Thomas Jefferson – kept in his personal library.

Wow, you’re right.  Let’s see: a Muslim country recognized our existence, which I guess is noble considering Iran refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist.  And after 200 years, in this powerful, largely Muslim nation, we finally elected our one and only Muslim to Congress.  One, in two hundred plus years.  So yeah, Muslims have been a HUGE part of the US history.

Wait, don’t forget this one:  on 9/11/2009 they launched an attack on our nation, on our soil, taking the lives of over 3,000 innocent people.  Muslims are part of our history that way too.

This comes after his interview where he talked about America is now a global Muslim powerhouse.
