Actual quote from "The Audacity of Hope" [pg. 261]: Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. 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 assurances 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.

NO, he didn't say that he stands with Muslims. He said that he stands with U.S. citizens who are subjected to a particular type of racial/ ethnic discrimination.

In that misquote that you gave, President Obama is talking about U.S. citizen, and U.S. citizens are just that regardless where they were born.

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani AMERICANS for example.

this country was born from immigrant communities,, some people are born citizens,, others are immigrants who BECOME citizens

Exactly. Naturalized U.S. citizens have the same rights as people who were born U.S. citizens. Plus, nowhere in that quote does President Obama make reference to Islam.

Besides, President Obama isn't a Muslim.

Show me a person who says that Obama is a Muslim, and I will show you a person who doesn't know diddly about Islam. That faith has some rather strict requirements as to what Muslims must do and must not do. Obama constantly violates those requirements.

Egads, the man introduced the Jewish Passover Seder to the White House, which no previous POTUS did.

If you believe that Obama is a Muslim, then I have some ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

whatever, you libs think whatever makes you happy, as will i... there's nothing either of you can say to prove he's not muslim, and even so, he's still a liberal... he's lied about everything, so no matter what you two can say about how great he is, it just shows me that neither of you care about his lying, cheating ways... just reaffirms my dislike for liberals and about 80% of everything they stand for...

Ever heard of the Nisei?

President Roosevelt announced the formation of the 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, saying, "Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry."

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of American warfare.[3] The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 2.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, earning 9,486 Purple Hearts. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (5 earned in one month).[28]:201 Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honor.[2] Members of the 442nd received 18,143 awards, including:

... 21 Medals of Honor (the first awarded posthumously to Private First Class Sadao Munemori, Company A, 100th Battalion, for action near Seravezza, Italy, on 5 April 1945; 19 upgraded from other awards in June 2000)

... 52 Distinguished Service Cross (including 19 Distinguished Service Crosses which were upgraded to Medals of Honor in June 2000

... Distinguished Service Medal

... 560 Silver Stars (plus 28 Oak Leaf Clusters for a second award

... 22 Legion of Merit Medals

... 15 Soldier's Medals

... 4,000 Bronze Stars (plus 1,200 Oak Leaf Clusters for a second award; one Bronze Star was upgraded to a Medal of Honor in June 2000. One Bronze Star was upgraded to a Silver Star in September 2009.)

... 9,486 Purple Hearts

... On 5 October 2010, the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the 100th Infantry Battalion, and Nisei serving in the Military Intelligence Service.
