    #18 “We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants –

    cities, the Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest
    skyscrapers and who helped unlock the secrets of our universe.”

    #19 “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between
    America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And
    I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United
    States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they
    appear.”

    #20 “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

    Any guesses on who made them?

    Not my President - although I imagine our guy would be making friendly where he can.

    Muslim communities exist in all communities and it's essential that we find a way to co-exist otherwise things will just get nastier and nastier. I have no problem even if I do feel awfully sad for the women. I don't think most in their communities want anything more than to be allowed to get on with life. As always, it's the minority that spoil it for the majority.

    I can't disagree with the idea of allowing people to live how they want to live, though I think the idea that the women in those countries want to live how they are living is highly debatable. Either way, not my job to emancipate them from their captors (husbands).

    There is still a huge difference between acknowledging that reality, and spouting off with any of the above quotes, which fly in the face of both reality and historic record. “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”? Are you F'n kidding me? “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”? So now free speech is the issue?

    When I first read the list of quotes, I honestly couldn't believe they came from a US citizen, no less a politician.

    Islamophobic I suppose? Yes, all Muslims are terrorists, except 96% that aren't.

    i am a Muslim i will not try to defend any terror attack in religious background and few questions always come in my mind
    Why there is no holy grave in west
    why most terror attacks belong to Muslims
    If Muslims kill non Muslims then who kills Muslims too many bomb blasts and a recent attack in Pakistan (My country) where more then 500 innocent kids of bellow 20 age killed
    Masques of Muslims are called God's home is church not God's Home ?
    Temples are not God's Home ?
    Church are not God's home ?
    Hindus dont believe in God ?
    Christians dont believe in God ?
    Jews dont believe in God ?
    Sikh and budh ?
    100% of the killings since the first one belong to Muslims ?
    in my opinion religions are used to get manpower for terror attacks
    we should work together for peace without involving any religion
    we should stop searching week points of religions
    we should give shut up call to any one who divides humanity in name of religions
    we should work for humanity.
    if i am Muslim its my personal matter
    divide human in Families tribes and nations not religions
    other wise millions of nations destroyed themselves and we are not doing any different

    I think that's the key to harmony. My faith is my business - nobody else needs to know or care unless I involve them. Equally, another person's faith is their business and I have no right to judge them, convert them based on their faith.

    Most of us are born into a family which has an established faith and the children adopt that faith blindly as they adopt all their parents values. As they grow up a child questions many of those values but faith tends to be a choice of "observe" or not. Few actively learn about other faiths and convert to them. To judge someone based on their faith is therefore ridiculous.
