We hear a lot about the United States' Judeo-Christian heritage, but according to President Obama, "Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding."
That's what the president told a White House conference on "countering violent extremism" on Wednesday.
Obama has said similar things in the past:
"I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story,” Obama said in a June 2009 speech in Cairo, Egypt. "Islam has always been part of America," he said in a 2010 statement marking the start of Ramadan. And in a 2014 statement marking Eid, Obama said the holiday "also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy."
According to a Heritage Foundation paper, shortly after America's founding, the United States "was dragged into the affairs of the Islamic world by an escalating series of unprovoked attacks on Americans by Muslim pirates, the terrorists of the era," who looted American ships and captured American sailors, holding them for ransom or selling them as slaves.

It also must be noted that Muslims were also responsible for the majority of the African slaves being captured and sent to america by the dutch, the muslims and other countries. So this is one time that Obama is right that muslims were the leading supplier of slaves that did in fact build alot of this country.
and which loose thread would that be? I realize our history refers to Islam (very infrequent), but it certainly has NOT been an important part of America and hopefully it will not be in the future...
3:12 you won't hear about that or coming from Obama.
His time in office is getting short and he is only going to ratchet up the anti-white Christian rhetoric.
What a loopy character! Who writes his material? Suddenly Brian Williams looks like a paragon of truth!
(Well, not really since OweBama isn't truthful about anything and has repeatedly lied since the get-go).
406 100% correct watch ALL the sharpton and black pardons that happen as it nears.
The more Obama continues to speak and act surely solidifies Giuliani's remarks regarding Obama's love and respect for our Country.
I am beginning to believe Giuliani's got it right, Obama does not love or like our Country.
Very sad to have such a person holding the highest office in our land.
Obama is a sick and deranged person. Somebody needs to get him under control. He is clearly a Muslim.
HA!
Confirmed teachers will actually teach this if told to. Won't you wicomico teachers? 50k a year you teach them anything!
Conformed. Sorry.
"When will we ever learn"
3:12 is correct. Barry Obama has been a puppet for long time. His Puppeteer is Valerie Jarrett, Muslim woman born in Iran, Senior Adviser Chief of Staff at the White House. So, now we know where their alliances are, don't we?
