Obama a Muslim? No. But if he is...

... So what? I have become so sick and tired of the racist, yes I said it, RACIST scumbags on the far right who continually beat this dead horse about the President's racial background. He has been in office over a year and a half, and contrary to what the fear mongers would have you believe, Islam has not taken over the government. But more important is the question Colin Powell asked when he endorsed Obama's candidacy in 2008: Is there something wrong with a young Muslim boy or girl wanting to grow up and become President of the United States?

America is the most racially and ethnically diverse country in the world. The Europeans can chastise us all they want about being intolerant, but how many European leaders are from an ethnic minority? Our diversity is what made us as great as we are. We have a history of people making contributions and sacrifices that advanced us socially and militarily.

Mr. Powell in his endorsement told a story of a young soldier who gave his life in the Iraq war. The boy's gravestone bore the star and crescent of Islam. His name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan. I attached his picture for all to view and I say this to all of you racist pigs: you should be ashamed of yourselves. You should be ashamed because Mr. Khan was not the first Muslim to give his life for this country and he will most certainly not be the last.

By the way, the woman in the picture is his mother. Would any of you right wing a-holes care to express your views on Islam to her? I'm betting not because all of you are a bunch of cowards. And most of you don't have the GUTS to go down to the recruiting office and go do what Mr. Khan did so selflessly.
