Since you don't know what happened there, I'll splain it to you. That was payback for Waco and Ruby Ridge.
A little misdirected, but predictable just the same.
Just ask Bill Clinton and Janet Reno what can happen when the Federal Government oversteps it's bounds.
You leftists can't seem to digest that, eh?
No, we understand that some elements of various groups -- including the radical right -- will do anything, including terrorism and murder, to have their way.
Obama to stick his thumb in America's eye with his trip to this radical mosque in Baltimore.

David Brody of CBN said he was told by the White House that the intent, however, was not to cover the religious symbols in particular or to leave Christ out of the picture. It was to drape the platform in a simple black background with American Flags on display. Brody said there were 26 other religious symbols in Gaston Hall that were not covered and that were visible in some pictures taken at the speech. The White House told Brody, “The President appreciated the gracious hosts at Georgetown University where he delivered his speech on the state of the economy. Decisions made about the backdrop for the speech were made to have a consistent background of American flags, which is standard for many presidential events. Any suggestions to the contrary are simply false.”
Georgetown Associate Vice President Julie Green Bataille told CNS news, “The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches. Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn’t high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context.”

...just in case you didn't bother to open it.
I opened it, I just don't believe anything coming out of this Administration. They're either wrong or lying, and as we learned from Snowden they are anything but transparent.
Here's a critical take of the visit by a liberal American Muslim.
