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.

When Ofail announced during the campaign that if elected (he probably said “when elected”) he would give a speech from a Muslim capital, eyes across the country rolled.

Well, it’s going to happen, and the lucky country that gets to host the next stop on the Global Apology Tour is Egypt.  But there is one curious thing…

He will be giving the speech not from Egyptian People’s Assembly (their parliament) or somewhere that might have a democratic tone to it.  No, he’s going to a more significant location:  the Al Azhar Mosque, which is considered the center of the Arabic world.

Curiously, non-Muslims are typically not permitted in mosques; no non-Muslim has ever given a speech from Al Azhar.  But apparently they’re breaking this rule for Ofail… or are they?
