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've never lived in Canada, we drive through from Alaska, it's absolutely gorgeous!!!! BC is a place I'd love to live. I'm sure I could google it but how do you go from living in one country to the other?

god those covered women are absolutely lost. need to have those nakabs outlawed period.

Problem not in Islam or in Christianity, problem not because you are Muslim or Christian, problem because of your ego and your blind mind and the evil inside you that pushing you to hate others , leave everyone to his faith and try to be example and a model inspiring people to love each other, what is the use when you tell me Quran said or bible said and you are a hater and spreading hate and violence among humanity, I am proud to be Muslim and I am more proud when I have Christian neighbour asking me for help and I help them every year to put their Xmas light in their house and share them their joy and happiness, I actually bought some lights and gave it to them as a gift , I invite them to my house and they do the same , problem not in religion, the problem is you haters , even if all the humanity become one religion, do you think all our problems solved?! No absolutely no , it's the nature of human been, fix yourself first before you try to fix others

But at the moment, it’s very clear to me the most toxic form that religion takes is the Islamic form… The whole idea of wanting to end up with Sharia with a religion-governed state — a state of religious law — and the best means of getting there is Jihad, Holy War, that Muslims have a special right to feel aggrieved enough to demand this is absolute obscene wickedness and I think their religion is nonsense, in its entirety.”\n“The idea that God speaks to some illiterate merchant warlord in Arabia, and he’s able to write this down perfectly and it contains the answers to all — don’t waste my time with that bulls**t. Also, the archangel Gabriel speaks only Arabic, it seems? Crap.”\n\nIslam rather dangerously says, ‘Ours is the last and final one. There can’t be any more after this. This is God’s last word. That is straightaway a temptation to violence and intolerance and if you will note, it’s a temptation they seem quite willing to fall for.”

Because we give them to much respect for this shit Islam people's. .allways they are saying Islam is peace fuck you because they are absolutely fake

Very politically correct put together piece of shit film ?,absolute BOLLOCKS!

As a multi generational Canadian, I don't really care whether they cover their face or not. That's their choice. During my life I've seen all these different forms of conservative dress from catholic nuns, to Hutterites to Mennonites and these people are just part of the mix. What this is designed to do is to create a barrier between themselves and the larger society which is fine. I would never interact with one of these woman ever because the thin flimsy barrier makes it clear that she is not interested in talking to anyone for any reason and again this is fine. If she was with a man I would talk only with the man and completely ignore her and if she was with a male child I would talk to the male child, not to her. I don't normally chat with women who are strangers other than now and then in a supermarket line or whatever. This face thingy frees me from the need of chitchat small talk and I'm good with that. In any case we would have absolutely nothing in common.

OK so whatever with them and their need to wear cloth and hold no identity of their own, and their stupid religion. I don't care really I guess about what they wanna do. That's them. It's fine. The part that bugs me is that I know their crap is going to be enforced upon the rest of us as if they have any right at all to tell me what to do. I WILL NOT be included in this belief system. And honestly, it's the fear of losing our freedom to choose that's causing so much anger in everyone else. These people have absolutely no right WHATSOEVER to have any sort of opinion on anyone's life, or how I should freaking dress in the morning. But they think they do. And I fear that that's something we're going to have to fight them for one day.

Absolute disgusting Propaganda.

Tolerance is not a one way street. Canadians (and other westerners) should wake up and realize that, and also form a basic understanding about the evils of islam, that muslims stand for.\nMany douchebags and pseudo-liberals of the Ben Affleck kind, will go to great lengths to defend islam and muslims while knowing absolutely nothing about that religion or its followers, with the only purpose being to selfishly display how PC they are. A true liberal person will value their acquired freedoms and privileges, and not be tolerant of the intolerant. Furthermore, real leaders should not be afraid to bring these points up, backing them up with hard evidence (not just hear-say or opinions), for the purpose of protecting civilised society: so that muslims and non-muslims all can understand why islam is incompatible with western civilisation. If muslims are offended by any of that, then that offence is brought on by themselves. PC has no place here.\n\nHere are some reasons why islam is incompatible with civilised society:\n1. Muslims consider the quran to be the perfect book and their prophet to be the perfect man, who's behaviour is to be aspired to, so perfect that any imagery of him does him great injustice and is forbidden. Other than being plain stupid, this in itself doesn't affect civilised society much (except free speech when drawing cartoons), but this does becomes a critical point in combination with the next points:\n2. A perfect man does not marry a 6 year old girl and then f*ck her when she's 9. But that's what their perfect prophet did and they know it, often justifying it as being in a different time. Well no time ever has been ok for a 50+ year old man to f*ck a 9 year old. \n3. In this religion that muslims consider perfect, apostasy is to be punished by death (quran 4:89). This combined with the fact that muslims consider their religious doctrines more important than man-made (western) law is something that makes them incompatible with civilised society. Of course they benefit from the civilised society, but not vice versa. \n4. Then there are the many verses in the quran that order muslims to fight non-muslims (and specifically jews), order death for adultery and homosexual behaviour, etc. Just search and you'll find as there are way too many to list here. Try here for example: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/\n5. Islam is an extremely controlling religion, it intervenes in everything aspect of human life, even as far as with which hand is to be used for eating and which for wiping off after taking a dump. It also declares itself to be the only true and last religion leaving no space for other religions or atheism. This is what makes it such a totalitarian and fascist religion.\n\nMuslims won't deny these points I listed, but they often will try to evade addressing them. \nToo keep a long story short: if you are really a tolerant/liberal person, then you stand your ground and stand for civilised principles, and don't tolerate or defend islam like some traitorous PC pseudo-liberal Ben Aslick sort of character.

2:40 absolute lie. A higher status. lol

There is absolutely nothing modest or virtuous in parading your religiosity by going against the majority of the society, and covering the whole face when the rest of the society doesn't hide it. Don't like being looked at weird? Stop looking weird!

just ask them what they religion teaches? I don't understand how people can love that religion and follow it! So much brain washing, and I don't care what they say, but what they do is matter!!!! and what they do, what they believe is absolutely against everything we stand for!!! We are all infidels in their eyes, they hate our freedom, and they are trained for our destruction! They are encouraged to lie and deceive us for their purposes! So, don't listen what they are saying, watch what they are doing all over the world! Our president trying to protect us!!!! Praise for Him! Media is a big protocol in those people hands who wants war around the globe

It is absolutely a mindless thing to cover your entire body and face. No one cares what you look like honey. But we do want to read your facial expressions to make sure there is no danger.

Absolutely the antithesis of Western Civilization. Islam is far closer to the political ideology of Communism or Fascism than it is to any Western Religion. Ban the Burka, Ban the Minaret, Stop Muslim Immigration, Re-institute the Death Penalty for terrorism related offences.

Absolutely nowhere in the UK or the USA is a 'muslim place' this is completely sickening and won't be happening for much longer

A know mate tell me about it lmao just winds me up so much .... There in our country, if they don't like our ways then to say it nicely ...... FUCK OFF !! Aye mate a seen that haha it's absolutely brilliant lol

Great Britain is not an Islam country so I don't believe they can enforce there law upon our people. I am happy with Muslims worshiping there god at there mosque as religious believers should be entitled to go to a place for worship but these kind of beliefs are outrageous ! I would not have anyone tell me what I can do in my home country. I am absolutely against Religion and these things actually push why I hate it! I am not against religious people (as some can be accepting and ok people) but I am against what it can do to people and what it has caused. 

YOUR SAYING THAT WE MARRY CHILDREN! ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CONTINUE THE STEREOTYPE OF THE ''BAD MUSLIMS''. YOUR ABSOLUTELY RASIST AND ADVOCATING LIES ABOUT MUSLIMS. YOU ARE ACCUSING US OF DOING THINGS THAT ARE PERVERTED, RIGHTFULLY YOU HAVE ERNED THIS ATTRIBUTE BASED ON YOU IMORAL UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION. ISLAM IS *PERFECTION*, PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THE RELIGION IS. I HOPE THAT AFTER ALL OF THIS SEGREGATION, ALIENATION AND INJUSTICE AGAINST OUR FAITH THAT EVERY ONE LIKE YOU PAYS. resist !!!

I'm certain that you completely ignore science but just in case, visit the Smithsonian Natural History website humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics\n\nWe absolutely share genetic similarities with chimpanzees! Scientific fact. And when you die, you're body will decompose exactly the same way as the dog your are forbidden to touch!\n\nIn the end, you (and me) are just another species of animal whether you choose to accept it or not.\n\nHave a nice day.\n

yeah because all of islam is a crie against humanity, and the wars Afghanistan and iraq were absolutely just. oh yeah and drones are cool too as long is they don't land in your backyard. really pathetic and a sign of an ignoramus.

Absolutely agree!

Who do they think they are??? Time for everybody to get a serious grip and join together and get them all out before they take over completely... ABSOLUTE DISGRACE

...at least not over ours or your dead bodies, you deluded, brainwashed fools. Instead of trying to take what isn't yours why not contribute something, hell anything valid to the world. You people make me sick & we're the terrorists yeah right...I seriously pity how absolutely pathetic you are. Get real & get a life, outside of your vile, evil, abhorrent cult of islam.

...cont...why don't you stop placing blame on others for islams inability to think outside a barbaric 7th century cult? You think taking over an advanced civilisation to which you have contributed absolutely NOTHING will help?! LOL so pathetic, you arabs needed the west to tell you that black stuff coming from the ground could be used to power cars which was invented by SURPRISE the West!! Without oil you'd be in veen bigger shitholes hahaha get real muslims, you will never take over the west..
