Islamic Links on Obama Web Site Stir Criticism
(CNSNews.com) - A page for Muslim supporters of Sen. Barack Obama — hosted on Obama’s presidential campaign Web site — promotes events sponsored by controversial Islamic groups.Muslim Americans for Obama ‘08, found on Obama’s main campaign site, allows users to create their own page through a “My Obama” option. The Muslim Americans for Obama page also links to a Web site that features lectures by people who have expressed radical Islamic views in the past.
A portion of the “Muslim Americans for Obama” page lists proposals to establish a Muslim American advisory group on U.S. foreign policy; provide prayer areas in public places such as malls, airports, universities and government buildings; institute a law to allow Muslim employees to take time from their work day for prayer; and institute a law against harassment of Muslim women in public areas.
The Obama campaign’s press office did not respond to numerous phone calls and e-mail messages from Cybercast News Service on this matter.
Throughout the campaign, Obama has professed his Christian faith, although his father is a Muslim.
My quick two cents, first, I don’t have any beef with Muslims in general, people should be free to practice their religion of choice and do so without persecution.
I’m really getting fucken sick of hearing about all of this “Muslim” bitching and moaning about giving these people “special” prayer rooms and all of this kind of special Muslim bullshit.
This is fucken America. As far as I know, no other religion seeks “special” consideration when it comes to catering to their religious needs.
I’m getting a wee bit tired of special interest groups trying to shove their “special” considerations down our fucken throats!

Obviously Obama was simply being diverse and
allowing them to share their culture.
