While Barack Obama has barely acknowledged any Christian holidays throughout his tenancy in the White House (even though he did claim to be a Christian prior to being elected), he seems to have a great deal of affinity for Muslim holy days. He’s made a point of recognizing Ramadan every year now, welcoming the opportunity it affords him to lecture we infidels on the virtues of the Religion of Peace. 2013 was no exception.
 
Here he was pontificating at the iftar dinner he hosted Thursday night:

… throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country.

How so? (I know early on we had some serious issues with the Barbary pirates – “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli…”)

Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation — and we’ve seen the results…

What the h**l is he talking about? The 9-11 terrorists? The Boston bombers?!

Every day, Muslim Americans are helping to shape the way that we think and the way that we work and the way that we do business.

 
That’s actually true. Now we need the TSA to pat down old ladies and strip search little kids.

And that’s the spirit that we celebrate tonight — the dreamers, the creators whose ideas are pioneering new industries, creating new jobs and unleashing new opportunities for all of us.

You really don’t know whether to laugh or cry do you?

“As the Koran teaches, whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see its results.” ~ Barack Obama
 
As holy scripture teaches;
 
A perverse man sows strife,
And a whisperer separates the best of friends.
A violent man entices his neighbor,
and leads him in a way that is not good.
He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He purses his lips and brings about evil.
 
~ Proverbs 16:28-30 ~
 
AND
 
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
 
~ Jesus ~ Matthew 7:15-18 ~
