Muslim contribution to American heritage













Barack Obama said, in his Cairo speech:



"I know, too that Islam has always been a part of America's story."



HERE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE IN AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT:



Dear Mr. Obama:



Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?

Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.



Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry

again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.



Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?

Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so..



Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.



Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?

No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest

traffickers in human slavery. Your own 'half brother,' a devout Muslim,

still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to

black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world

really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage" doesn't it Mr. Obama?



Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not

present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by

side with Martin Luther King Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil

Rights.



Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again,

not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to

men in the Islamic culture. So much so that often they are beaten for not

wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family

member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights aren't

they?



Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf

Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the

troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.



Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they

weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field

in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were

rejoicing in the middle east. No one can dispute the pictures shown from

all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other

cable news network's that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses

you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone

cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval

for the acts of that day.



And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America



And now we can add November 5, 2009-- the slaughter of American soldiers

at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was

supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and

Afghanistan . That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America .
