With my last post, I will address the topic that most interests me: religious acceptance across the nation. With all the complaints against how Obama has started his presidency, there is one area where I cannot help but support Obama: reaching out to bring religions closer to one another.
One recent White House event was the dinner held in honor of the Ramadan fasting period. With all the controversy going on the recent dinner crashing couple, people seemed to have overlooked what occurred at this event. Not only was this a dinner held primarily for Muslims, perhaps the most scrutinized group in America, but it also extended an invitation to Jewish leaders. That for me personally, is appalling. Not only has Obama invited the "American enemy" but he has brought together leaders of two warring nations.
Why is there no media over this now? President Clinton earned huge acclaim for conducting a meeting between Muslim and Jewish leaders at Camp David. And yet, all people can focus on is how Obama may be a secret Muslim, how he is asking for more soldiers, and how is making American look weak by bowing in front of the Japanese emperor. I'll end with one piece of advice: Wake up Americans and see the courage and audacity of our President. He has tackled the issue that has created the most conflict in the history of mankind: Religion.
