THIS is why Obama needed to do this. Too many Americans have all these [bleep] stereotypes about Muslims. The Muslims who flew into the World Trade Center in no way represent the beliefs of the majority of Muslims. Islam has turned into an evil religion in the eyes of Americans, and Obama is only trying to fix that. Yeah. I was always annoyed by the "Obama is a Muslim!" idiots during the election season. Even if he was a Muslim, what would be the problem? If he was a Muslim, he could be a member of Al Quaeda for all we know. If a Muslim terrorist or terrorist group gets a good position in the American government, it would extremely easy to plan attacks on this country. There are too many Muslims in the Middle East that want to kill Americans, because they believe that we stand for everything they don't. They hate us, they want to kill us, they call us 'infidels'. This whole speech is just giant bullcrap imo. No religion should be singled out and clearly given favor such as this, especially if it isn't the majority. Imagine that there was a religion called Blarg. Now, Blargers (or followers of Blarg) live in a completely different world than members of the country of 'Narg'. Now, 'Narg' has its own beliefs and culture and tradition, but welcomes other people with tolerance. Let's take a look at Blargers -- half of them want to kill everyone and everything related to Narg, and the other half are just normal people. Let's say you have no way of knowing whether or not a Blarger is against Narg or not... now, would you give them an entire speech on how awesome they are even if they blatantly said that they wanted to destroy you and your way of life? Of course Obama isn't going to make a speech about terrorists. It was directed toward the ones that don't want to kill us.
