Barack Obama Visits The Islamic Society Of Baltimore- Here Is His Speech by Nobody: 12:50pm On Jun 20, 2016
Today, I had the privilege of visiting the
Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque
that serves thousands of Muslim
American families. Like houses of
worship across our country, it's a place
where neighbors come together to pray, a school where students learn, and a
health clinic where volunteers serve their
community. My visit was a chance to
celebrate the contributions that Muslim
Americans make to our country every day
and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the
freedom of religion. Generations of Muslim Americans have
helped build our country as farmers,
merchants and workers on Henry Ford's
assembly line. They're the teachers who
inspire our kids, and the nurses and
doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes
and young entrepreneurs creating new
technologies. They're the champions we
cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police
and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who
have fought and bled and died for our
freedom. Right now, though, many Muslim
Americans are worried because threats
and harassment against their
community, their families and their
children are on the rise. But we are one
American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When
any religious group is targeted, we all
have a responsibility to speak up. We
need to reject any politics that targets
people because of race or religion. At a
time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to reaffirm
that most fundamental truth – that we
are all God's children, all born equal with
inherent dignity. I want every Muslim American who may
be wondering where they fit in to know
that you're right where you belong -
right here, because you're part of
America, too. You are not Muslim or
American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that
Muslim communities are standing up for
peace and justice as well. That's the spirit
I felt on my visit today. And I'm
absolutely confident that if we stay true
to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to remain
strong and united.

Of course we belong to God and not Muhammad(SAW) and unfortunately his terrorist brothers will remain there long after you're dead and rotten.
