Obama visits terror-tied mosque

President Barack Hussein Obama is the first American president to visit an American mosque and the first president to deny being a Muslim, as if that is a bad thing.

Obama was given a hearty Islamic howdy do by the Islamic Society of Baltimore as he assured members of the religion of peace that "you're right where you belong." 

Was he referring to the mosque he spoke at--the mosque with terrorist ties? Only Allah knows.

Obama called on the community to condemn violence and terrorism against other faiths, but he failed to be more specific, like the antisemitism that is statistically much worse than so-called Islamophobia, a term used by Muslims to shut up all criticism of an ideology that has been at war for 1400 years.

I know, I know; I can be accused of sounding like a racist, if Islam was actually a race, but isn't that just another way of shutting up all criticism of the ideology?

A handful of protesters stood outside the Islamic Society of Baltimore and imams throughout the United States declared a fatwa against them--just kidding about the fatwa--that's to come perhaps in the future.

After the meeting, an honor guard of Muslim Boy Scouts carried in the U.S. and Maryland flag along with a Koran. After the Pledge of Allegiance was recited, non-violent suras were read from the Koran, but unfortunately, these peaceful suras were abrogated by violent ones that came later. (See all of Sura 9, 2 and 4 just for starters).

Obama referred to this mosque as "an all-American story." He added, "Now, a lot of Americans have never visited a mosque, and to the folks watching this today who haven't, think of your own church or synagogue or temple and a mosque like this will be very familiar. This is where families come to worship and express their love for God and for each other."

I kind of doubt that folks in churches or synagogues or temples would get that feeling of familiarity--churches and synagogues and temples don't have scripture that tells them not to take people of different religious beliefs as friends. Christians, Jews and others do not refer to others not of their faith as 'apes' or 'pigs.' They don't see others as 'unclean' and insist they handle Bibles or other scripture with gloves so as not to dirty it.

FYI: about 10 years ago, I attended a wedding of my wife's family member at this mosque. The looks I received as an infidel could have toasted marshmallows.
