#1 Mr Obama devoted much of his speech to calling for a greater bond between Americans and Muslims, admitting that "the trust that binds us has been strained".

"Let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam," he stated.

#2 "We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country," Obama said.

#3 The most naive, incompetent charlatan of a politician we have ever had as President. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a founding father. Boy, was Rush and Hannity wrong in stoking the Project Chaos and Stop Hillary Express. I guarantee you that Willie would have kept Hillary on short leash and under a verbal microscope.

#5 Hussein O: what part of the quran dicta - "do not take Jews and Christians as friends" - do you not understand?

Muslims have an abominable record of minority treatment, and that includes minority sects within Islam.

#6 One week after he's photographed bowing to the King of Saud people are surprised by this?

BTW: Love the "my own country" line. Which country do you think he's referring to?

#7 Which country do you think he's referring to?

#8 Of course, you must understand he's much too busy making war on capitalism to bother with Islam.

#9 Speak for yourself, Barry. Personally, If "Islam" gives me much more mendacious bullshit, they better watch their asses.

#10 This is in Knoxville, Tennessee.

That doesn't bother me all that much. The law in TN says that drinking establishments w/in 300 ft. of churches may be prohibited. Such laws shouldn't exist but if they do they're fine if equally enforced (or not enforced as the case may be).

#11 My point was the law does allow exceptions and several churches in Knoxville have compromised with Restaurant owners. The Muslims will not compromise.

#12 It seems to me that someone sinking upwards of $1M in rennovations into a property would consider the local zoning laws prior to commencement of the work. I don't have much sympathy for the restaurant owner if he sunk the money into the project with a mosque already extant on his doorstep and if Knoxville's ordinance was in place when he began the work.

#13 Knoxville's local beer ordinance establishes a 300-foot buffer zone around churches and other similar institutions for a beer permit but waives the requirement if the establishment is granted a liquor license by the state of Tennessee.

Wanda Day, an employee with the Knoxville Beer Board, said in the past year one or two other establishments have obtained liquor licenses and subsequently beer permits, despite being within 300 feet of a church or school.

Hill is busy completing the last steps toward getting local Alcoholic Beverage Commission approval for his liquor license.

Virginia Stooksbury, administrative secretary at the Knoxville ABC office, said she's heard complaints from a couple members of the Knoxville Muslim community, but unless there's a legal reason to deny Hill a permit, the office will give him the go-ahead.

The local office's recommendation is being sent on to the Nashville office, where the assistant director will make the final decision.

Deny the permit at your own risk of career, AD. Let's see how "tolerant" the religion of peace is

#14 There are the heathen muslims believers (al-Qaeda) and then there are the true muslim believers. Tell me again what the differences are?
