President Barack Obama has outrageously criticized a Muslim nation for its war crimes, torture, misdeeds of its past leaders, imposing its will on sovereign countries, racism, greed, its arrogance, its dismissiveness and being derisive.
Of course that Muslim country is the Islamic Republic of America. You see, Obama, who recently announced that America is not a Christian nation, said yesterday that America is one of the largest Muslim nations.
So CMR acknowledges that the President has now deemed us a Muslim nation, so we join the Muslim street in their outrage that President Obama has dared to so blatantly and repeatedly criticize a Muslim nation. We ask why has Obama bent over backwards praising every other Muslim nation while singling this one out for constant criticism?
As a Muslim nation, we would expect that someone who grew up in a Muslim family, lived in a Muslim country, and attended Muslim schools would understand the damage of such intolerant anti-Muslim country rhetoric.
The recent vicious rhetoric has the Muslim street pining for President Bush who liberated Islamic countries while Obama berates this Islamic country.
And the Muslim street is not going to stand for this. We will rise up against such outlandish slanders against this Islamic country.
No justice. No peace.

I think he's simply referring to the large number of Muslims within the USA

No Brian, stop spinning for your TOTUS….
Matthew, great post!!!
Didn't Bush liberate 50 million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan???
How many has Barry Hussein liberated?

Obama says we have a large muslim population in the US and that makes us an "Islamic country"? I don't think so.
BTW, we rank 35th in the world for the number of muslims living in the US. That's higher than we rank in healthcare (37th) link:

As to your links:
Calling waterboarding torture is not criticism, its a fact.
Obama criticizing Bush in 2007 is not news.
A 2008 speech isn't news, either.
What is a news flash to you, apparently, is that US-European relations during W's regime sucked.
As usual, Obama has to clean up W's mess over there, as well as in the middle east.
I know its hard to imagine, but people in the middle east do not consider unleashing death and destruction as "liberating".
If it makes you feel better, he "liberated" 15 Pakistanis less than 3 days after he took office:

And he "liberated" 140 more lucky souls in Afghanistan just two weeks ago:

And these are just the "liberations" we know about!
It's pretty clear he'll be "liberating" people left and right in no time.

The demand for Muslim schools comes from parents who want their children a safe environment with an Islamic ethos.Parents see Muslim schools where children can develop their Islamic Identity where they won't feel stigmatised for being Muslims and they can feel confident about their faith.
Muslim schools are working to try to create a bridge between communities.
There is a belief among ethnic minority parens that the British schooling does not adequatly address their cultural needs. Failing to meet this need could result in feeling resentment among a group who already feel excluded. Setting up Muslim school is a defensive response.
State schools with monolingual teachers are not capable to teach English to bilingual Muslim children. Bilingual teachers are needed to teach English to such children along with their mother tongue. According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second language if his first language is ignored.
Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Muslims
have the right to educate their children in an environment that suits their culture. This notion of "integration", actually means "assimilation", by which people generally really mean "be more like me". That is not
multiculturalism. In Sydney, Muslims were refused to build a Muslim school, because of a protest by the residents. Yet a year later, permission was
given for the building of a Catholic school and no protests from the residents. This clrearly shows the blatant hypocrisy, double standards and racism. Christians oppose Muslim schools in western countries yet build
their own religious schools.
British schooling and the British society is the home of institutional racism. The result is that Muslim children are unable to develop self-confidence and self-esteem, therefore, majority of them leave schools with low grades. Racism is deeply rooted in British society. Every native child is born with a gene or virus of racism, therefore, no law could change the attitudes of racism towards those who are different. It is not only the common man, even member of the royal family is involved in racism. The
father of a Pakistani office cadet who was called a "***" by Prince Harry has profoundly condemned his actions. He had felt proud when he met the Queen and the Prince of Wales at his son's passing out parade at Sandhurst
in 2006 but now felt upset after learning about the Prince's comments. Queen Victoria invited an Imam from India to teach her Urdu language. He was highly respected by the Queen but other members of the royal family had no respect for him. He was forced to go back to India. His protrait is still in one of the royal places.
There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

IftikharA, it is far better for Muslims to go to Islamic lands and practice the pure form of Islam. You should not be among infidels. What's that you say? No jobs or welfare rolls back there? Full of of jahaliyah and ignorance? Well you can't have everything.

"it is far better for Muslims to go to Islamic lands and practice the pure form of Islam."
No thanks – we'll most likely get bombed by creeps claiming to be 'freeing' us – and taking our oil.
"No jobs or welfare rolls back there?"
Yes, corporate stooges picked by the US tend to send oil profits to you guys so that you can keep your oil prices low – what's a few dead foreigners?
"Full of of jahaliyah and ignorance?"
Wow. A white guy named Ivan used a big foreign word. You must be dead impressed. Still doesn't excuse YOUR ignorance.
