PRESIDENT OBAMA's VISIT TO MOSQUE.\nHE WROTE ON HIS TIMELINE.\nToday, I had the privilege of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque that serves thousands of Muslim\nAmerican families. Like houses of worship across our country, it's a place where neighbors come together to pray, a school\nwhere students learn, and a health clinic where volunteers serve their community. My visit was a chance to celebrate the\ncontributions that Muslim Americans make to our country every day and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the freedom of religion.\nGenerations of Muslim Americans have helped build our country as farmers, merchants and workers on Henry Ford's assembly line. They're the teachers who inspire our kids, and the nurses and doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes and young entrepreneurs creating new technologies. They're the champions we cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who have fought and bled and died for our freedom.\nRight now, though, many Muslim Americans are worried because threats and harassment against their community, their families and their children are on the rise. But we are one American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. At a time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to\nreaffirm that most fundamental truth – that we are all God's children, all born equal with inherent dignity.\nI want every Muslim American who may be wondering where they fit in to know that you're right where you belong - right\nhere, because you're part of America, too. You are not Muslim or American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that Muslim communities are standing up for peace and justice as well. That's the spirit I felt on my visit today. And I'm absolutely confident that if we stay true to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to\nremain strong and united.

I used to be a very liberal person for most of my life and tolerant of other cultures and religious faith, like many others I may add.\n However my tolerance is wearing somewhat thin, like many others I may add again, after hearing the same old opinions coming from Muslims repatriated in western societies. \n They come into our cultures on mass and never assimilate into ours, but create their own little pockets of cultural being within our national borders.\n We hear time and again how the indigenous populist must be accepting of them, even though very few are accepting of our culture, using an analogy it's akin to inviting a stranger into your home and give them a safe place to live, food, money and all items that go along with it, and the next thing their sat on your favourite chair with your remote in their hand, even going to bed with your wife!\n We need to wear our head covering it's our right they chant, OK then, afford the same favours to us in your country, let my partner wear her bikini when she's walking down the road, let us drink alcohol, build Christian churches, you get where I'm going with this.\n If it's so great there why do you choose to live here? All the customs you seek are there if you feel that uncomfortable here? \nGiving Sewden as an example, there are now 180 Muslim 'ghettos' not the same you get in the US as the accommodation and welfare is quite generous there, a lot of them are 'No-go' areas even for the police, they mostly hate the Swedish people, a criminal element there will only rob off the swedes, and rape has gone up tenfold committed mostly by the Muslims, and it's only going to get worse as they are accepting another forty thousand of them, even though they have a crisis of a shortage of housing. \n If you ever needed an example of when your political parties have totally lost the plot, and are insanely progressive and what your country could become, then use Sweden as a barometer as to what your country could also decay into.\n The Muslims hate use, hate our freedoms, and just think of us as 'infidels' , multiculturalism has proved on this scale that it does not work, unless immigrants come with the mindset that they assimilate into the culture they are heading for, not the other way around.

The answer is simple and all Muslims need to do is control their population and make us believe we are safe. When we see protests and hear hate speech from their groups we of course are not happy and we were born here. You want to come to our country so abide by our laws not yours and we will be fine.

Fuck Islam.This is Canada.I don't want to see Islam. I don't want to smell Islam.I don't want to hear Islam. My family helped build this country.We built the infrastructure for this country. If you don't want to follow our way of life, then don't come here.We don't need you.In this next election, the topic of Islam must be addressed. Don't vote for any candidate that wants to turn Canada into another Islamic satellite state.

This Muslim are really lazy. they run away from their country and come to another man country to cry for food. go back to your Islamic country and fight for your land . we don't need your bulshit preaching . take all your women and if you like cover their entire body we don't care. just don't bring it to London\n.

What a steaming pile of bs. In Saudi Arabia 4 people a week are beheaded women are only 1/4 a person as a male, and on and on I am coming to the conclusion that Islam and freedom and democracy are mutually exclusive.  Canada was a free country before all this gender blending neo-Marxist culture war and we need to get back on track.  And by the way when it comes to analyzing the macro socio-economic situation I am intellectually a Marxist but I'm all about freedom and democracy being the first and most important first step.  These would be cultural relativists vanguard of the proletariat gender blending 3rd wavers need to go back to their offices and once again lose themselves in their navel gazing and pay heed to Plato's injunction in the Republic to leave the masses in the microcosm alone.

People who say it's the white males in power trying to oppress the Muslims with their culture need to wake up, If these people want to live in a society that abides by Sharia law they should have stayed in their own country or assimilated to the dominant culture in the country they immigrated to. But you have all of these people coming here because they've ruined their own countries with the same beliefs and values that they are trying to impose in the counties they immigrate to. It makes me sick. 

 islam like a cancer we need to cut off from the body of this nation to heal it . i cant belive it those people come in in this country by gives them asylum seeker or illegally way. and they prohibited the natives to go around or to drink or not what a rubbish

im a Muslim and im completely against this. these so called Muslims have no right what so ever to tell people what to do or what to wear. These guys act like Scholars ... please go and learn the deen 1st and how about perfecting the shariah law in Muslims countries before coming to UK ( IN MY EYES A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY) Im all for shariah law but we need to concentrate the shariah laws in our countries ( Pakistani , Somali , Iran , Iraq , Afghanistan etc...
