2012 ELECTION

[HairOfTheDog]

Someone needs to point out a few things about the incumbant, when will that happen?

Barack Obama,
during his Cairo speech, said:
"I know, too, that Islam has always been a part
of America 's story."


Really? could someone point out the muslim who landed with the pilgrims,enjoyed the first Thanksgiving in the new world, who fought the American Revolution?signed the Delaration of independence? Bill of rights,Contstitution, who fought for freedom of the slaves in the civil war ,fought against Hitler in world war 2,marched with Martin Luther during the civil rights Movement?

anything that shows that they were always part of America's story.

TIA.

During the first debates, the GOP candidates took a lot of shots at Obama and the democratic party in general. This is the last debate before Super Tuesday in March. Til then, I think those still standing will remain more concerned about carving out their own spots than focusing as much on the incumbent or the opposing party.

Btw, Obama hasn't given any examples of Muslim contributions to American history on par with what you requested, to the best of my knowledge. But, you'll be glad to know that he noted these all-important contributions that he highlighted in 2009:

...Nashala Hearn, who won the right to wear a hijab in school, Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, who holds the record for the most points scored by a high school basketball player in Massachusetts, and Muhammad Ali, who – though he couldn’t attend – is “a man of quiet dignity and grace and continues to fight for what he believes.”
