B.O.: US will never be at war with Islam
(Ma'an) -- US President Barack Obama on Saturday said the United States was not at war with Islam, speaking on the anniversary of the 11 Sept. 2001 attacks in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. "As Americans we are not - and never will be - at war with Islam," Obama said. Referencing an extremist US pastor's since-cancelled plan to burn Korans, Obama said, "They may seek to exploit our freedoms, but we will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust. ... "They may wish to drive us apart, but we will not give in to their hatred and prejudice, despite the terrorists' efforts to spark conflicts among faiths." Posted by: Fred 2010-09-12 |
