Obama says American has Muslim Roots...Really?

Not only Americans, but my ancestors, as well as many other Texans' ancestors, pushed on into Texas with nothing more than faith in Jesus Christ and God our Creator. He sustained them through droughts, famines, attacks by Indians and other predators, over saw their labors in making this land their home.  He sustained them through disease, death, despair. He taught them the value of the individual and hard work.  He embraced all cultures and peoples as long as they came in peace.

It was not Mohamed or the Muslims.  Muslims believe in empire building...we only want more Muslims. The rest are infidels, and we need to convert them, or get rid of them.  The love and tolerance of all may end up being the downfall of Christians. Those who want 'justice for all" and advocate tolerance are not Muslim.

Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of
America 's story."  If true, I don't think the part Muslims played was in anyway responsible of the principles that have made this country great.

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE TO OBAMA'S STATEMENT:


Dear Mr. Obama:


Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.


Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?


Declaration of Independence ?


Bill of Rights?


Didn't think so.


Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.


Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?


Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.


There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.


Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?


Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.


Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims you bent over backwards to impress in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.


Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.


And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .


That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America .

(Copied from Email I received....But very good points. Not sure who wrote it)

President Obama's misstaken understanding of American history weakens this wonderful country and is disrespectful to the brave men and women who spawn the culture that allowed him to come from nothing and become the president of this great nation.  The test of a really great leader is in best shown in his gratitude and humility. A great leader is one is open to all views, and prays for wisdom before he speaks and leads. These are universal traits...not limited to Democrats or Republicans.  The words of leaders have meanings...they are not empty rhetoric that can be changed, or mishandled.  Neither can history.

May God has mercy on all of us. May His Will and Wisdom prevail.
