Obama hosts an iftar dinner (looks like Cal was right)

But I'm pretty sure Jefferson wasn't a muslim.

How do you know?
"In 1765, Jefferson purchased a two-volume English translation of the Quran for his personal library, a collection that became, in 1815, the basis of the modern Library of Congress."

Sorry to have offended your religion gft. I assure you that wasn't my intent. Only to point out that Obama seems to gravitate towards Islam on more then one occasion. And as usual for you, you bring up ancient history from your point of view.
-
You say he gravitates to islam. I say he's welcoming of a broader range of religions in your secular nation than previous presidents.
Perhaps he's over-pandering - from the story it looked a bit like a knee-jerk reaction to getting called out on spying on muslims. Which in itself should probably give you a clue that he isn't a jihadist in waiting.
The Jefferson thing - I googled itsar because I hadn't heard the term before, and that was one of the stories that came up. I found it amusing to think that someone like Jefferson, who has been held up on previous occasions as a bastian of american-ness and whose views and thoughts should be considered next to god (or so it seems), had actually been doing the same things that people, 250 years later, are decrying Obama for.

You tell him Chris! I'm sure there is no change in the dynamic of Islam versus the west in the last two or three hundred years.

Wait... So that argument works now to say all Muslims Ade scary but it doesn't work when trying to show the constitution isn't infallible?
The founding fathers are treated like gods by some on here but not now? Why? Cuz they did something Obama did which you don't like?
-
I doubt you even read up on Jefferson grasshopper. Get to work.

As an intellectual study, that's one thing.
But Obamao was raised as Muslim in Indonesia for a while.
Obamao has also said that one Muslim prayer was the most beautiful song.
He has also said push come to shove, he'd side with Muslims if he had to choose.
He also treated the head of Israel like an anti-Semite bigot. Muslim heads of state?
A nice big dinner.
And Steve is making a great point. I don't remember 9/11 and all the terrorist activity here
during Jefferson's presidency.
-
... And I was raised as a Catholic, what's your point? Does that first Communion mean I'm really always Catholic?
What is the quote about him "choosing sides" with the Muslims. I'm curious.
Your second point literally means nothing as well
You're right though. Muslims did not fly a plane into the World Trade Center when Jefferson was around. ..

Excuse me. I did not realize you were an expert on the matter
I did read up enough to point out all of the fake quotes in that one thread though haha

Rev. Wright is a muslim? I thought Obama had attended his church for decades.
Is Obama an asshole? Sure. Secret muslim? Doubtful.

Oh no! Two conflicting youtube videos! Now I don't know what to think.

Sure, he was campaigning and lied in your video.

"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”"
