Perhaps the most important thing the President said today?
So why do so many people think we are at war with Islam?
I'd say the primary reason is the invasion of Iraq and the deaths and propaganda that followed that disaster. People heard about the Sunni and the Shia and all they saw was "Islamic" terrorists.
The Iraq War changed the way a lot of people look at Islam, in my opinion.
The President pointed out that we have Muslim soldiers fighting for us in Afghanistan. They are putting their lives on the line for the Americans that would call them "terrorists". This was the most effective part of his speech today, in my opinion.
