Barack Obama's Ramadan Greeting, "Islam has always been part of America"

Really? Since when?

This man is completely outside the American Tradition.

Thanks to Will:


Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God.



This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared.  But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.


For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.



These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.


Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.   



And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.



And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.

Pastorius,

To tell the truth, there may have been a very small number of Muslims here when the nation was founded. I don't know, but it doesn't seem like they played that much of a role in our history or our society. You would think if there were a significant number of them here, for America's two hundred plus years of existence or more, at least some sympathetic politically correct, historians who were not Muslims, would make a bigger deal out of it, don't you think?

"To tell the truth, there may have been a very small number of Muslims here when the nation was founded."

Damien, I doubt there was a single Muslim in the United States when it was founded, even amongst the slaves. The POTUS is actually not being PC, as he is giving Muslims preferrential treatment. If he were being PC, he would also have to say that Bhuddism and Hinduism have always been apart of America, even though they obviously had no role in Colonial America whatsoever, just like Islam.

I think he's talking about the part where we sent the Marines into Tripoli at the beginning of the US.
Otherwise it's just his usual BO BS.
