We are not at war with Islam!
1:20 in.....WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH ISLAM! Tell that to the bigots in America, Mr. President...
So because a handful of terrorists calling themselves Al Qaeda murdered almost 3,000 people in NYC on 9/11/01, there are some here in America who have waged war on all of Islam, and with our American Muslim citizens. Does this seem to have festered and grown since the election of Barack Obama? Oh yes, sadly it has.
Before '08 would the country have been in an uproar over a community center in NYC with a prayer room for Muslims? No, I doubt it, because G W Bush told us Islam was a peaceful religion and we had nothing to fear from our Muslim citizens. It's just since the election of Barack Obama.....
Before '08 would a fanatic church leader call for burning Korans on the anniversary of 9/11? Not to my knowledge has that happened until this year, is it because these fanatics hate our president, to them he represents a radical, a Muslim radical. Sad, but true.
American Muslims are fighting side by side in Afghanistan with the fanatics sons, brothers, dads, uncles....but they don't care, they don't even see that far, all they see is their hate for ALL Muslims. They talk about the radical side of Islam like its the ONLY side of Islam.
Listen to the passionate plea of our president in the video clip. America is not at war with Islam. Why did the fanatics believe Bush but they won't believe Obama?
How many Muslims are there around the world? The Pew Forum estimates 1.57 billion as a reliable number, as of mid 2010. Muslims represent 22% of the worlds population and are the second largest religion in the world. Only Christianity is larger with 33% of the worlds inhabitants. It's time for Christians to start acting like Christians, not like holier-than-thou bigots.
