Did Islam Shape America?
In England, Obama bowed before the Saudi King, and then he went to Turkey, where he addressed the Turkish Parliament: “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”
Help me, but I am trying to figure out how Islam shaped America?
Didn’t Europeans land in America and create a conflict with the Natives? Wasn’t it the European colonization of the Americas that forever changed the lives, bloodlines and cultures of the peoples of the continent? When the settlers came to America with wagon trains, where were the Muslims? Were they hiding? As far as I know, these people were not Muslims. - American history tells us that Christianity shaped the United States, not Islam!
The only event that connected Islamic to the USA was the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Remember the terrorists who came to seek to destroy us?
But then, that’s nothing new. The leaders of radical Islam have called for the complete destruction of America and Israel; they have declared war on America and Israel.
How can an American president claim that the so-called Islamic faith shaped the United States for the better? Or was he talking about Kenya or Indonesia? I understand that there are problems with Obama’s citizenship.
If Islam influenced America during the last 8 years, it was not for the better, but for the worst.
So, it wasn’t over the centuries, but only recently that Islam has begun to shape America.
