    What the estimated fuck?!

    Seriously?! What kind of delusional bullshit is this? Can anyone here name even one instance in which a Mohametan had any influence in the formation of this nation? Oh, and Barry, you poor, stupid little lamb, we do not have a democracy in this country; we have a Constitutional Republic.

    And stop channeling apostle ("Mohametan" :wtf:). You're doing just fine embarrassing yourself as yourself.
    So what's your criterion? "None of 'em signed the Declaration, therefore..."?

    I came soon in a Ramadan once.
    Or was that a Days Inn?

    Is this a joke?
    Just wondering because Ramadan does come sooner and sooner every year. The lunar calendar is 11 days shorter than the solar calendar.

    If you want to suck Obama's cock that bad, just go fuckin' do it -- but don't hang around here apologizing for his obvious retardation, 'cause we ain't buyin' that shit.

    Have you considered that he may be referring to America now rather than the America of 1776? Like it or not, there are Muslim Americans who are politicians, doctors, lawyers, builders, architects, firefighter, emergency workers and so on, who contribute to American society - so yeah, they are part of the fabric of modern American, all 2.6 million of them. Plus the first instance of Muslims in America were as slaves, and thereafter Muslims first began to emigrate to the US in the mid 19th Century. So, hate to break it to you, but you've been living alongside them far longer than you think. :lol:

    You don't know what these words mean. They're not mutually exclusive. Democratic forms of governments are present in all kinds of state forms (republic, monarchy). The UK is a constitutional monarchy AND a democratic state.
    I wish you'd act less pretentious when you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

    Oh, yeah, Muslems made HUGE contributions to this country.

    Like...

    Um...

    Well, uh, some of them live here.

    So I imagine their contributions to this country are larger than, say, those of Australian aborigines or Kalahari bushmen.

    But it isn't anything especially notable or worthy of celebration. Muslems may live here and be doctors, lawyers, and Indian chiefs (well, probably not that last one), but their "contribution" is one made by being part of western civilization, not standing as an alternative to it. From that standpoint, although individual Muslems may make a positive difference in our society, Islam doesn't.

    No, and do you know why? Because the "fabric of our country" was built way before Barry fuckin' Soetoro got here, asscapsule. It started being built in 1776, not when "The Great Messiah" showed up on the scene. Holy fuckin' shit, dude, you'd think someone as "urbane" as you pretend to be would be able to recognize and acknowledge that basic fuckin' fact.

    Obama's statement says nothing about Islam. He says Muslim Americans. So yeah, that's exactly what he's saying. He's saying that there have been generations of Muslims living in American contributing to a functioning society, and at 2.6 million of them they play a more significant role than, say, your comparator of Kalahari Bushmen. They are a functioning part of American society and have been for a long time and if, for instance, you have a heart attack and it's a Muslim paramedic who turned up and saved your life, you wouldn't recognise that as a positive contribution to American society and the continuance of it?

    It differs in that it advances an ideology different from those who arrived on the Mayflower. This country has a pretty consistent line of thinking, from that time to now, only here comes King Kamehameha with his wildly uncharacteristic vision of the U.S., completely out of character for this country, and you refuse to see how it's not just different from, but wholly incompatible with, our founding principles, You really should be put on the DNC payroll, because it takes talent, skill, and dedication to be as clueless as you pretend to be.

    Muslims have made humongous contributions to the military mental health community in this country.

    So name some. Name some Muslims who contributed to "the fabric of this nation."

    No, you fucking moron, he's saying that they, "built the fabric of our nation." Which is complete and total delusional bullshit.

    Nice cherry picking. You should change your screen name to "Dayton4".

    As in already indicated in my post, Muslims have been emigrating to the US for nearly 200 years, that means that for a long time they have been part of your populous (longer now than they not), which, in turn, means that they have contributed to building the version of America you see today. :).

    It's not my fault that you are such an insufferable ignoramous that you didn't understand my first post. :shrug:

    The only thing you personally have defined as "the character of this country" is "GET RID OF THE GODDAMN MESSICANS!!!"

    If you'd like to redefine what you consider "the character of this country," now would be a good time.

    :yes: Now his opponents are busy frothing over these Muslim comments instead of addressing any real and significant issues… just in time to alienate moderate voters with a crucial midterm election barely 3 months away.

    Oh? Certainly, then, "A country that bilks the unholy shit out of its citizens, in exchange for nothing, and encourages invasion in order to devalue and displace its fucking tax cattle."

    How's that? Because that's your definition rendered in truth.

    Maybe you should rethink how you define this country, you elitist cunt.

    This merits a response.
    Why not? If something is a part of something bigger, it gets part of the credit. He might have gone a bit too flowery for John Castle, but all he really said is that Moslems have long played a contributing role in what makes America, along with everybody else.

    As for this thread itself, it merits only this:

    Who? Which muslims? Name some names. Keep in mind, I'm giving Obama a fuck ton of leeway on this by going with your incongruous assertion that, "Oh, he just meant that muslims have played a significant role..."

    So which muslims? In what way, exactly, have any muslims played a significant role in this nation, fuckin' ever?

    "The look and feel of Muslims, the fabric of our lives."
    Wait - maybe that's cotton! I heard something like this on TV - I think Arron Neville sang it.
