Muslims Dismiss Obama’s Mosque Visit as #TooLateObama

Later on during his first presidential visit to a mosque, Obama addressed his concern that Muslim families are ostensibly being bullied by Americans concerned about the increased risk of radical Islamic terrorism at home and overseas.

The president condemned anti-Muslim rhetoric, such as proposals by Republican presidential candidates to prohibit Muslims from entering the United States and calls to subject American mosques to government surveillance. “Thank you for serving your community and for helping us keep united as one American family”.

The US president denounced the “extremist elements” who twist Islamic text into violent ideology.

“Most of the Muslim population in America, right now, feels very insecure”, said Ajazuddin Shaikh.

“Attacks on anybody in the United States – whether they’re verbal attacks or physical attacks – by virtue or due to a faith that they proclaim is abhorrent and not in keeping at all with American values or who we are as a country”, he said. President George W. Bush did so days after the Sept 11, 2001, terror attacks to reassure American Muslims.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) welcomed Obama at Islamic Society of Baltimore, where the USA president rejected “inexcusable political rhetoric” targeting Muslims.

During an interview with Greta Van Susteren, the Fox News host asked Trump about the visit. We can’t give in to profiling entire groups of people. “That’s how we show the lie that they’re trying to propagate”, he said. “They’re not defending Islam”, Obama said.

“We have to understand: An attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths.”

In the trip to the Islamic Society of Baltimore, Obama wants to highlight the American right to freedom of religion for all, including Muslims, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Muslim-American advocacy groups have warned of a growing number of attacks on mosques and on individuals following attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, by those purporting to act in the name of Islam. And we can’t suggest that Islam itself is at the root of the problem.

Making light of politically charged assertions that he is a Muslim, Obama, a Christian, said that founding father Thomas Jefferson was also accused of being a Muslim.

“I think that we can go to lots of places”.

“I would urge all of you not to see this as a burden but as a great opportunity and a great privilege to show who you are”, he said.
