WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast.
The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."
Attendees included Congress' two Muslim members -- Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren.
Obama shared the story of Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, another invited guest, who broke a state record for most career points as a Massachusetts high school student.
"As an honor student, as an athlete on her way to Memphis, Bilqis is an inspiration not simply to Muslim girls -- she's an inspiration to all of us," he said.
Obama also noted the contributions of Muhammad Ali, who was not in attendance, though the president borrowed a quote from famous boxer, explaining religion.
"A few years ago," Obama said, "he explained this view -- and this is part of why he's The Greatest -- saying, 'Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams -- they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do -- they all contain truths."'
Ramadan, a monthlong period of prayer, reflection and sunrise-to-sunset fasts, began Aug. 22 in most of the Islamic world. It is believed that God began revealing the Quran to Muhammad during Ramadan, and the faithful are supposed to spend the month in religious reflection, prayer and remembrance of the poor.
White House dinners marking the holy month are nothing new. Former President George W. Bush held iftars during his eight years in office.
Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the world's Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: "America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam."
Obama also released a video message to Muslims before the start to Ramadan. In the video, he said Ramadan's rituals are a reminder of the principles Muslims and Christians

"Islam is a great religion":
How do they spell "great delusion"?

Why isn't he stupid?

What else would you expect a Muslim to say? That Islam isn't a great religion?

Then he wouldn't be president right now. He says what the people want to hear. But in his heart there are only evil minds.

You don't need intelligence to know what the people want to hear.

He is a president, and not stupid...and I would say he is very smart. And it is the problem.

Is he good in Math? Does he speak many languages? How is his grammar? That's intelligence. You maybe need only a bit intelligence to reach the people. It's all politics, propaganda and mind control.

Your both right... He is very very smart in that he assembled a team of people who were able to sway a lot of voters. But he is not very intelligent... There is a subtle difference between Sechel {Intellect} and street smarts... Obama is excellent at street smarts... But not so good at language or math...
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2954/jewish/Planet-of-the-Apes.htm
In Chassidic terminology, the two disparate cognitive dimensions described above are defined as hergesh (instinct) and sechel (intelligence). Whereas hergesh is a trait common to all mammals, sechel, embodying abstract creative or analytical intelligence, is uniquely human. Consequently the description of man, by anthropologists, as an "intelligent ape" is singularly appropriate (albeit for reasons very different from those that led to the creation of the expression). Although hergesh is an attribute that we do indeed share with apes, we are also endowed with sechel, which would elevate us above all other members of the animal kingdom were we to make use of it. Since, however, this sublime quality is only sporadically engaged, the ape is alive and well, and very much in charge.

That's the knowledge. If he wasn't intelligent and smart, he wouldn't be president now. He also went to university.

The avrage American citizen is about as deep as a crack in the sidwalk.

Obama.... Obama Obama..... 4 years he's gone if he doesn't get a hit out on him.

Are you threatening to assassinate the Pissident? Nice.

Contributions? Contributions to America?! I see 4 hijacked airliners, two collapsed towers, piles of rubble and thousands of innocent lives ripped away, not to mention untold amounts of trauma and heartache and even medical problems for those who ran first to ground zero to sacrifice for others and for the common good. THESE are Islam's ONLY contributions to America. Coupled with the sharia-promoting CAIR terrorist outfit, Islam has a long way to go before it will ever repair what damage it has done to America. And I haven't seen a damn thing yet.
-
EVIL!!!
What contributions have Muslims had to our country? (other than terrorism)
-
I noticed that no one mentioned the contributions of honor killings here in the USA.
Another great contribution was the shooting at the El Al counter at LAX by a vicious demented Egyptian muslim who killed 2 people.
There is also muslim contributions in the form of Bash Israel rallies across College campuses each week.
We should not forget that generous contribution from a muslim who decided to shoot 7 people at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles.

The only thing Islam is great in is it's ability to live an ENTIRE life without PUTTING ON DEODORANT! :camel: :camel: :yuck: :yuck: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
