Diskatopia's comment history

Omninewsorg, you are posting falsehoods, might want to change your monniker to WeeklyWorldNews. Try some research before believing drivel such as you post. For example, from snopes.com:

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims":

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Om, don't try and mutate facts to fit your desired outcome-- Obama is not a Muslim, he is a professed Christian, and has professed that in the USA and wordlwide, even before Muslim audiences-- "I'm a Christian..." (Cairo speech, 2009).
