BALTIMORE – US President Barack Obama offered an energetic rejoinder of indefensible Republican race talk against Muslims, on his first trek to an American mosque since getting to be president seven years prior.
Obama – whose granddad changed over to Islam – made the short excursion to the Islamic Society of Baltimore to approach Americans not to be spectators to dogmatism. Summoning the Prophet Mohammed and hailing the resilience appeared by American political symbols from Thomas Jefferson to Dwight Eisenhower, Obama hit out at hostile to Islamic supposition that is not who we are.
"We've heard reprehensible political talk against Muslim-Americans that has no spot in our nation," he said, praising Muslim-Americans as games saints, business people and the planner who designed Chicago's bewildering horizon.
His remarks came as a sharp race talk about has sullied America's picture abroad, and as aggressor assaults in San Bernardino and Philadelphia undermined to smash post-9/11 religious solidarity at home. Six days after the 2001 assaults in New York and Washington, then president George W Bush went by the Islamic Center of Washington, proclaiming Islam is peace.
Today, Republican presidential competitor Donald Trump has charmed preservationist voters by requesting a prohibition on Muslim migrants, while leader Ted Cruz has upheld Christian-just affirmations and championed Judeo-Christian qualities.

A lot of Obama's outside strategy motivation has concentrated on enhancing ties with Muslim countries, from making an atomic manage Iran to consummation wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the exertion has been frustrated by proceeded with showdown with aggressors gatherings and military strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.

The president offered two words that Muslim-Americans don't hear regularly enough, and that is 'bless your heart'. In any case, he likewise approached Muslims to handle radicalization.
"How would we shield ourselves against associations that are set on murdering innocents?" he inquired. "It can't be the work of any one confidence alone. It can't be only a weight on the Muslim group, in spite of the fact that the Muslim group needs to assume a part."
That message is a vexed one for individuals from the Muslim group, including gathering of people part Riham Osman, who works for the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a support bunch. "I know national security will come up in the discourse as a result of the atmosphere of today," she said in front of Obama's comments.
"It upsets me a tad bit that it is his first time coming to visit a mosque, and there will be children there who have experienced childhood in this post 9/11 period and their confidence is continually connected to national security and radicalism."
