They did not join in the applause by the crowd at Cairo University. Instead, Abdul Saafan engaged in mild heckling when Obama admonished Palestinians to abandon violence.
“Where is the Palestinian violence?” scoffed the 69-year-old patriarch, minimizing years of rocket attacks against Israel from the Gaza Strip. “What violence?”
Raed Saafan, 16, left the room as the American leader was speaking of his youth in Indonesia and respect for Islam. Raed returned later, explaining that he had to chase down a stray sheep. But he walked out again before the speech ended.
“Obama is trying to trick us,” the teenager said dismissively. “He wants to pretend he is on our side while allowing the Israelis to get their way with us.”

This is just sickening….
“I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.”
- Soooo, the Muslims are not part of the “American People” and deserve separate distinction?? What about the Jews? Buddhists? Hindis?
“More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.”
- Fed by Colonialism? How about telling the truth? Tension has been caused by terrorism fueled by Islamic hatred of non-Muslims… period. As for “modernity” (?) and “globalization” being to blame for the West being hostile to Islam, it goes more like this – The West continues to grow and modernize because we are free-thinking peoples who cherish freedom, unlike Islamic countries where they don’t even understand the word “progress” and where the religion squelches thought and creativity. Would someone care to share with me any technological advances contributed by the Islamic world? Muslims simply envy the West’s advances, realize they are stuck in the dark ages and that it is their religion that impedes their progress and are PISSED about it.
Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims.
- Small minority? I have seen that upwards of 100 million Muslims are considered extremists? One day Obama says America is “One of the largest Muslim countries in the world” with only 6 million (tops) Muslims in the U.S. Then he says the extremist population in the world is “small”! What is this guy smoking besides Pall Malls?
“I am a Christian, but…”
- Not buying that line any more. Haven’t seen ANY evidence to support that statement, sir.
“As the Holy Koran tells us, “Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.”
- The “Holy Koran”?? I thought you said you were a Christian, Barack? Christians do NOT refer to that book as “holy”.
“and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.”
- I think I missed that story. Was that in an L. Ron Hubbard sci-fi novel?
“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
- Oh, my Lord, is this guy hallucinating or what?!
“I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. ”
- It has?? Since when?? Oh, that’s right – Come to think of it, I do remember those episodes of Andy Griffith where Opey walks past the Mayberry Mosque on his way to the Police Station to see Barney Fife and his dad.
I could go on and on and on…
Obama is sick in the head. Absolutely deranged. His goal is Islamicize the United States of America. This has become crystal clear
Go to youtube and type in Obama “Snubbed In Saudi Arabia” it’s from Bigone5555J….very funny.
Fishleg, I think I love you. What a rapier wit. It’s a shame that everything you’ve said is so true.
This is the breakdown of religions.
Christian: (78.4%)
Protestant (51.3%)
Roman Catholic (23.9%)
LDS (1.7%)
Jehovah’s Witness (0.7%)
Orthodox (0.6%)
other Christian (0.3%)
no religion (16.1%)
Jewish (1.7%)
Buddhist (0.7%)
Muslim (0.6%)
Hindu (0.4%)
other (1.2%)
EverAftrer, … Fishleg rules. He is kind, intelligent, and defiantly knows his stuff.
We were blessed to have such a man of great character wit and knowledge “and charm” helping to defend what we stand for.
:))))))))))
Oh and Vicki, I can’t remember for the life in me where, but I seen that exact same statistic chart.
After usurper dick sucking bastard known as obama made that declaration how America is also a muslim world, I stumbled on this.
I was shocked “in a good way” to see muslims only make up .6% in the US.
They make up around 15% in russia. But communism in the old soviet union allowed for this.
But only .6% “thats point zero six percent” is great although 0 is best.
I was wondering why he was making it sound like half the US if not more was muslim. My entire area, Im talking all of Kentucky, and the tri state I think Ive only see 2 that I know of wearing those handi wipes over their faces. I just thought they laid real low.
Apparently its yet another numbers game to cause descension among us and false hopes among muslims. and when the truth comes out muslims will feel that we were the reason for the decline… decline meaning never was any here really to begin with.
One of the”hugely many” big differences between Christianity and islam is that although its sad alot, to many Christians don’t utilize this today, but Christianity was based on logic and intelligence. Whereas islam was the embracement of speculative emotions only.
In other words, where the early Christians would “think” before doing, muslims would just “do” because it felt like their god told them because they felt good.
This is why historically islam spread like wild fire among the most illiterate and uneducated of nations, and its leaders only embraced it out of show for political reasons for the people to see.
Americans can tolerate a lot of crap, but we cannot tolerate the destruction of our beliefs and our Lord God. That’s how this country came to be in the first place. We will not stand for it.
Wait and see.
PS ya’ll are so nice to me…..
Thats because you deserve it Fishleg :)))
but its true, we can stand alot, but then we finally hit a breaking point.
This is really, really bad this time.Ask a real Christian to denounce Christ Jesus and he won’t do it, neither will he hold still as they try to behead him…no..he will die FIGHTING.
So true Fishleg.
Apparently they forgot the word Martyr
A Stinking brown thing came out my ass this am. I flushed it instead of running it for office as a democrat
