Obama to Visit Mosque, Host Muslim Leaders on July 4th
<National Report>White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest announced today that President Obama will be visiting a Washington D.C. area Mosque on the morning of July 4th as a goodwill gesture to Muslim Americans. The name and location of the Mosque are currently being withheld for security reasons.The President has long been criticised for being sympathetic towards Muslims and has even been accused of secretly being Muslim himself. His announcement to visit a Mosque on the morning of America’s most patriotic holiday will likely add to this criticism.
American Muslim Ahmed Mohamed Usman, who will be attending the cookout, had nothing but praise for President Obama’s decision. In an interview this afternoon on NPR, Usman had the following to say:
“America is supposed to be the land of freedom and of tolerance. Finally we are starting to see this. If America has Christian prayer breakfasts, so must it have breakfasts praying to Mecca. If America is to put the 10 Commandments on display, so must she display the Quran. To be welcomed into the highest office of America to celebrate her birth and independence is an honor and is a step for Muslims in America to begin to establish our rights. President Obama is truly opening the door for Muslims in America.”
Firstly, you were suckered into a hoax from a self-proclaimed 'satire' website:
ReplyDeleteObama Mosque July 4 Hoax: ‘To Visit Mosque, Host Muslim Leaders on July 4th’ National Report Article is Fake http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/786036-obama-mosque-july-4-hoax-to-visit-mosque-host-muslim-leaders-on-july-4th-national-report-article-is-fake/
And secondly, this is what he's doing today:
- President Obama hosted a July 4th naturalization ceremony for 25 active duty military service members who became citizens through their service.
- Obama salutes American ideals, rights ... and men's soccer team in Fourth of July address
- Obamas to view 4th of July fireworks from the White House.
I guess it would be too much to ask for you to recant your silly article?
