Iftar Ramadan Dinner: "Islam has always been part of our American family," 9/11 Tribute to Islam
Burning of the USS Philadelphia, Barbary war
9/11 is re-cast as a tribute to patriotic Muslims; none of these alleged heroes are named of course so there is no way to document these supposed individuals.
"Muslim Americans were innocent passengers on those planes, including a young married couple looking forward to the birth of their first child. They were workers in the Twin Towers -- Americans by birth and Americans by choice, immigrants who crossed the oceans to give their children a better life. They were cooks and waiters, but also analysts and executives."
"There, in the towers where they worked, they came together for daily prayers and meals at Iftar. They were looking to the future -- getting married, sending their kids to college, enjoying a well-deserved retirement. And they were taken from us much too soon. And today, they live on in the love of their families and a nation that will never forget. And tonight, we’re deeply humbled to be joined by some of these 9/11 families, and I would ask them to stand and be recognized, please."
According to Islamic thought, these must be martyrs in jihad; Obama could name them accordingly.
"Muslim Americans were first responders -- the former police cadet who raced to the scene to help and then was lost when the towers collapsed around him; the EMTs who evacuated so many to safety; the nurse who tended to so many victims; the naval officer at the Pentagon who rushed into the flames and pulled the injured to safety. On this 10th anniversary, we honor these men and women for what they are -- American heroes."
And, then, since 9/11, Muslims are heroic:
"Muslim Americans help to keep us safe."
There is no mention of the killer of American troops at Ft. Hood, nor the recent arrest of another Muslim, Naser Abdo, the would-be jihadi who was plotting to kill more Americans at Ft. Hood.
There is no mention of Muslims who have avoided military service as conscientious objectors, though they do not object to war, they object to killing fellow Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. In short, they do not qualify for the conditions of conscientious objectors but the Obama regime has granted them a pass.
"We see this in the brave service of our men and women in uniform, including thousands of Muslim Americans. In a time of war, they volunteered, knowing they could be sent into harm’s way."
Ten years after a war against jihad began, the proper, rational response to 9/11 would be for the Islamists to reject, denounce, and expunge the violent teachings and texts from the Koran and the Hadith that inspire jihad and ethnic cleansing.
To be fair, at least one Muslim was named: Mrs. Mansura Shajahan, whose husband died in the 9/11 attacks, was acknowledged.
Further, in an effort to bind tighter the disparate threads of American society, Obama stated: 'There's no them and us - it's just us.'
Seated in the audience at the dinner were the two members of Congress who practice Islam: Representatives Andre Carson and Keith Ellison; Ellison, aka Hakim Muhammad, is the Muslim Brotherhood Congressman.
