President Obama to visit mosque, hold talks with Muslim leaders

President Barack Obama plans to visit a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday and meet with Muslim community members amid growing concern about Islamophobia and bigotry directed toward Muslim Americans.

White House officials, who announced the president’s visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Saturday, said this will be Obama’s first stop at an American mosque as president. He will deliver remarks.

“The president believes that one of our nation’s greatest strengths is our rich diversity,” White House spokesman Keith Maley told the Baltimore Sun, which first reported the visit. ”As the president has said, Muslim Americans are our friends, and neighbors; our co-workers, and sports heroes — and our men and women in uniform defending our country.”

He is only going to make matters worse as usual.
Hope he is only apologizing for himself this time.
He is the only one stirring up bad feelings between anyone.

A phobia only exists if there is no threat to be afraid of. There is no such thing as Islamaphobia
