...But not yet. It was a great speech--<br /><br />34. Derek:<br /> <br /><br />Mr. Ledeen,<br /><br />Let me put it this way, Obama said muslims invented “algebra”. He is wrong. Muslims invented the pen. He is wrong. Muslims invented the magnetic compass. He is wrong. Muslims invented the astrolabe. He is wrong. Muslims invented printing. He is wrong. Finally, President Obama said, “And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.” After being wrong about all those easily verifiable facts, am I to believe he finally got one right ? Nope. He is wrong again. Charles ‘The Hammer” Martel agrees with me.<br /><br />I’m glad you noticed that President Obama was wrong to credit muslims with those inventions. But, I think you missed the significance of his attempt. Why did Obama credit muslims with those inventions ? He did that to make the case that the islamic world has contributed much to benefit the world. Pens ? Printing ? Algebra ? So, according to Mr. Obama, without muslims, the world would literally be without reading, writing, and arithmetic. But, as you correctly pointed out, muslims didn’t invent those things. Obama counldn’t mention any great muslim inventions, because by and large, there aren’t any. His premise is destroyed. Muslims have not contributed much to the progress of civilization. That Obama was so wrong, on such basic facts, suggests an unfathomable ignorance about Islam.<br /><br />Further more, I ask you, What is the pathology of a person who will look you in the eye, and say, “I invented pens, printing, and algebra.”, when that is not true ? Probably, it is someone who would deny the Holocaust. Probably, it is someone who would repeat the Holocaust.<br /><br />Derek<br /><br />p.s. Obama will say a muslim built USA’s tallest building. He didn’t have the guts to say muslims also destroyed The World Trade Center Towers. He just referred to them as “attacks”.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-884143410191367382009-06-06T02:30:54.346-04:002009-06-06T02:30:54.346-04:00I'm movin' on to the next thread.

No other President has gone to a foreign nation to so publicly throw a strong ally under the bus. Once again the President, pandered to the Muslim world by dissing Israel in a major way, he downplayed the role of terrorism, made Hamas look like a rowdy Boys Glee Club, called for the internationalization of Jerusalem, and used the Palestinian party line to describe the Israeli presence not only in the West Bank and Gaza but its VERY existence at all<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/026466.php#respond" rel="nofollow">Throwing Israel Under The Bus</a>--<br />-/<br /><br />Also gave the green light to Iran.<br /><br />Great speech.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-57019000373188413272009-06-06T02:23:12.676-04:002009-06-06T02:23:12.676-04:00There's a reason you never won the tuna, bob.There's a reason you never won the tuna, bob.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-41243958874138239822009-06-06T02:19:27.522-04:002009-06-06T02:19:27.522-04:00Obama Prepared To Accept Sharia Organizations--
