I also want to be clear that America's relationship with the Muslim community, the Muslim world, cannot, and will not, just be based upon opposition to terrorism. We seek broader engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstandings, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful, even when we do not agree. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world - including in my own country. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.

Holy crap, dude.

They are responsible for a huge renovation project in New York City.  :fuelfire:

0Bama needs some better speech writers.  He may have been referring to having been born and lived in a Muslim country, not actually being a Muslim.  :fuelfire:

Without Islamists, there would be no US Navy... of course, the Navy was created to DESTROY said Islamists, and free us from their terrorist demands for "tribute", but still...

To be fair, he lived in Indonesia at one time and that would qualify to fit his statement without it being a statement of his own affiliation.  He's just trying to sound like he is saying something he really isn't saying, and so bullshit the Moslems the same way he's been bullshitting Americans.

Bingo, though it's fair to say that he's managed to bullshit many Americans - but certainly not all. Those of us who look at him pontificating via TOTUS know full well that his entire existence is a lie. In that case, he bullshits nobody but those who wear the certified tin foil hats.
