I'm not being closed minded -- I just can't find any contributions to America they've made. Especially in order to spend huge amount of tax dollars celebrating.
Did you even look?

Somehow I doubt it.

"Muslims were part of the US from its very beginnings.

What a myth! Did you study Goebbels? He said the same thing; tell a lie often enough, and it will become the truth.
Soon your type will be banished to the trash can of American history.

12 nominees have been rejected and 7 have been withdrawn in US history.

Hillary was asked if she would consider Obama for the SCOTUS. Hillary seeks to appeal to the Obama base.
She responded along the lines of "sure, I would consider him".

I am not a Hillary fan.
Thanks for explaining....

Politicians do the same thing.

Here's another: divide and conquer.

Right out of the playbook of political partisanship.

Several executives with that organization were convicted of sending money to aid the terrorist group Hamas.

Prison Planet.com » The US Mosque Obama Has Chosen For His First Presidential Visit Has Deep Extremist Ties
Well referencing above they were not indicted and it was over 8 years ago. There were several people from the Holy Land convicted in a second trial, no one from ISNA or CAIR but they did provide names. So what exactly are the deep extremist ties and how did he make the leap the leap to controlling the mosque.
When ever I hear the word "ties" without any details it means they have nothing.




You know reading Alex Jones reduces IQ, more Islamic Phobia.

Obama is not difficult to see thru- unless you're apathetic or on gov't assistance.

Dude, you got to try real hard to find a characterisic of the Muslim religion to be other than strife and violence.
Uma Abedin is Muslim. You'll be hearing her name more as the demise of Hillary unfolds.
Oh, and I'm the "Einstein of conservative opinion".

We will be hearing more about Huma Abedin being part of the Muslim Brotherhood,

Michelle Bachman is that you, didn't you bring this up 3 years ago?

"Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), apparently in need of some attention, has launched some sort of paranoid inquiry into whether the U.S. Congress has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Some weeks ago, Bachmann sought the assistance of inspectors general in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice Departments, asking them to investigate potential "policies and activities that appear to be the result of influence operations conducted by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood."
