Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly, in a
video posted at
RealClearPolitics on Sept. 25, 2012:
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
Being
interviewed by Nicholas Kristof of
The New York Times,
Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Speaking to the Muslim world in Cairo on June 4, 2009, as
reported by
Time,
I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
Hat tip to
Day By Day for the info. Most recently the invite to the White House for the Muslim kid who took apart an electric clock, repackaged the pieces in another container, and managed to spook his teachers with the result of him being briefly detained. No similar invite for the non-Muslim kid who customized a Pop Tart into the profile of a handgun and used it to pretend "shoot" at a classmate, whereupon he was suspended from school under a "zero tolerance" policy.
