Obama extends hand to Muslim world in speech

CAIRO (AP) - Invoking the Quran and his rarely used middle name, Barack Hussein Obama declared Thursday that America has a common cause with Islam and never will be at war with the faith - an overture intently watched by the Muslim world and welcomed in unlikely quarters. An Iranian cleric called the president’s speech “an initial step for removing misconceptions.”
Obama spoke at a seat of Islamic learning, his 55-minute address suffused with respect for touchstones of the religion. He said the time had come to “speak the truth” and “seek a new beginning.”
“America and Islam are not exclusive,” he said, “and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”
Obama made no specific references to his predecessor in the White House during his Cairo University speech, but others quickly did.

Obama extends hand to Muslim world in speech
Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim of convenience.
So, during the run up to the vote in November, anyone that used Obama’s middle name was a racist. Anyone that used Obama’s middle name was anti-Islam. Anyone that used Obama’s middle name was trying to associate Obama with his true faith, his true people and his true belief, Islam. Were we wrong in doing so?
“There is a change between the language of President Obama and previous speeches made by George Bush,” said Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas. But he added that Obama did not specifically note the suffering in Gaza following the three-week Israeli incursion earlier this year.
If Israel had done everything they should have done, there would be NO spokesmen from Hamas left to complain about the USA and our involvement, or lack thereof, in the recent acts of self defense that the Israeli bombings and attacks represent.
It’s funny how when the Pallies are shooting rockets off into Israel, Hamas never says a word, but when Israel retaliates it’s an atrocity and caused great suffering among the Palestinian people.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in advance of the speech that any statements by Obama were just “words, speech and slogan” that would leave in place sanctions designed to persuade the nation to stop its nuclear weapons program.
Khamenei obviously doesn’t know Obama nearly as well as he thinks he does. Barack Hussein Obama never met a Muslim he didn’t feel a strong kinship with. Barack Hussein Obama will destroy America as we know it if it means he can be well liked and possibly respected by his true allies, the savages of Islam and the heroes of socialism, Castro and Chavez.
Obama addressed the Israeli-Palestinian dispute pointedly in his address, knowing it goes to the heart of Muslim anger toward the West.
“It is time for us to act on what everyone knows to be true,” he said. “Too many tears have flowed. Too much blood has been shed.”
Israel had best be prepared, they will soon be under the bus, a place where any that aren’t in the full control of Barack Hussein Obama can expect to find themselves.
From its opening phrases, the speech was laden with respectful gestures to Muslims.
Obama said it was part of his responsibilities as president “to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
I am NOT one of the politically correct sheeple, so, for those of you that are, here’s a TexasFred commentary to remember, his speech wasn’t laden with respectful gestures, it was running over with ASS KISSING and Islamic appeasement.
Regarding Muslim stereotypes, when Islamic radicals stop committing homicide bombings, when Islamic radicals stop beheading those they consider offending to their goat loving, pedophile worshiping religion, when Islamic radicals teach LOVE and not HATE, when Islamic radicals stop their Death to America rants, when mainstream Islam finds the BALLS to stand and demand this of radical Islam, perhaps then some of the negative stereotypes can be overcome.
Here is a quote that Barack Hussein Obama would be wise to read, memorize and reference often! “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” ~Golda Meir~
I firmly believe Barack Obama did not acknowledge the murder of Private Long by the recent Muslim convert because it would have chapped his lips prior to the Mecca pucker he was about to plant on the asses of Muslim leaders who hate his nation. I don’t believe the Chump In Chief is actually a Muslim but I firmly believe he would be if he thought it would help his political career!
Sam, he was raised a Muslim, he IS a Muslim, he will always BE a Muslim not matter what his hollow words say…
Islam, and it’s members are his 1st allegiance, I will die believing that!
That he would be Sam. Don’t worry about Israel yet Fred. They won’t be tossed under the bus without taking Obama and his gang with them (The Mossad has long arms).
What Obama did today was to hand the US right over to the Muslims. Already Holder has decided not to keep a close watch on Muslim Converts who show signs of extremism. Obama needs a 9/11 or worse to fully destroy this nation. And the way he is going, he will get it.
Katie, 110% agree with that, every word of it, and I really DO hope Mossad has the balls to do whatever has to be done…
I’ve been worried about out losing all of our freedoms. Not that we have much to lose anymore. But this is clearly an attack on Christians. We are about to lose the freedom of religion. I can just feel it every time I see Barry’s face on TV. He gets on my nerves and gives me the creeps.
We are truly in sad times. I don’t want a Mosque on every corner. Because the Christians will allow them to have their religion, Muslims will kill us for being Christians.
I lived in Kuwait for 5 years. Listen to me. Muslims hate Christians. Taking them a Pecan Pie with a big smile on our faces will not make them like us. Honestly, do we want them to like us? Not me. If you give them an inch, they’ll blow you up.
Maybe Obama thinks he can reach out to Islam and stop things like this: Taliban kill 3 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan
I guess we just aren’t reaching out enough…
hardheadedtexan, many years ago I had a great friend that was a Major in the Jordanian army, he was on King Hussein’s staff, and he, as well as his wife, were both Christians..
He was at El Paso, McGregor Range, doing some training on a gun or missile system and we lived in the same apartment complex.
There were several Kuwaiti military officers in the school as well and they too lived in the complex, they were Muslims.
There was, even in that time 26 years ago, an intense hatred between Christians and Muslims, there always has been, there always will be, the only ones that don’t see it are those that are willing to submit to Islam.
Our POTUS doesn’t have to submit, he is already there, and coming out more on it every day…
I had the opportunity to visit Turkey while living in Kuwait. I love history and was in awe at all the beautiful,, Churches that were turned to Mosques. Lots of bloodshed. But even as I entered these Mosques, I could feel Jesus still in there. I don’t even know how to explain it. Amazing. I was a little nervous being a Christian and entering a Muslim world, but believe it or not, I felt protected by Jesus.
I still have all the brochures and I have forgotten all the names of these Mosques, and I’ve also forgotten all the stories of the wars between the Christians and Muslims. The Muslims won, turned the Churches into Mosques. I need to go back and look at all of it. If you ever get a chance to visit Istanbul, Turkey, I highly recommend it.
We all know that history will be repeated. Where are our Conservative Christian leaders? Are they passed out at a bar or what? I’m sure that the Christians that lived in Turkey, never thought they would fight against Muslims…and lose their beautiful Churches. Or should I have called them Cathedrals? Not sure, you know what I mean though.
Everybody settle down. Now they’re saying the Usurper has German roots. This Spear throwing Kenyan has a little bit of everything in him but American Blood.
The story is on the Huffington Post…
Admin note: No links to left wing sites please… I refuse to give those bastards ANY linkage… Fred
I swear on a fear of a terminal case of TMJ! I may need to hibernate and not be “alive” or watch TV for a few days here and there…I’m not sure my face can outlive the continual extreme JAW DROPPING!
This deranged individual that 50barely% voted into office is killing me one sentence at a time! WHO EVER THOUGHT a POTUS would actually get on TV and spend MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS to stand up and quote the Quran?
UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE! He’s on TV EVERY FREAKING DAY…I’m beginning to think I have Parkinson’s Disease! I walk around all day with my head shaking and my jaw dropped as I drool on the memory of what the USA USED to be!!!
WAKE UP! Obama is on the record as saying if push came to shove, he would stand with muslims. He quotes from the Koran?????? NOT Christian…. HE makes me sick. So very much wrong with what he said, and as always, SAYS!
He is an empty suit with flowery words, who gives appeasement new meaning. Oh, I can’t even articulate all that is WRONG with him
Thank YOU, Fred!
I have to write that, under Bush, the economy, his wasteful and excessive spending and his love for illegal immigrants were my primary complaints. I mostly didn’t doubt his intent to keep this country safe from a second 9/11-type event.
Under Obama, I fear for every aspect of our country — from the economy, healthcare, Socialistic movements, national defense all the way to our basic national sovereignty and our Constitutional freedoms.
There isn’t ANY aspect of this nation that I believe Mr Obama has influenced in a positive way at this point.
I am absolutely, without-a-doubt convinced that it WILL require another 9/11-like event where thousands of Americans are killed and wounded on our own soil before the electorate begins to remove the horse blinders from their heads and Mr Obama’s hand from up their ass.

A POTUS that is from the looks of things attempting to force Dhimmitude on all of us. Me? I am not particularly religious. A really good friend once described me “as the cool drink of water mentioned in scripture.”
Don’t ever expect this Marine Corps BRAT to kiss some muslim’s or anyone else’s ass for that matter. Including a POTUS that is hell bent on destroying this nation.
When, not if, but when we get hit again my one hope is that it is in a place that voted overwhelmingly for the pointy eared vulcan s.o.b.
My apologies to all the fine Labrador Retriever and other bitch’s in the world…
But did he swallow? Inquiring minds want to know!
As for comments 3 & 4, absolutely. Americans WILL die to his dhimmitude. And that will possibly be the trigger. Provided this nation has not become so testosterone deprived as to fall on its knees crying.
