Some of it was laugh out loud funny.
"America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."
Umm....excuse me? Islamic countries are the top human rights violaters in the world. Try taking a Bible into Saudi Arabia or seeing what happens to a woman walking down the street with her head uncovered. Tolerant? I'm sorry. Guess that's not funny. That's disgusting.
As a disclaimer, I was just as disgusted when the Bush administration would kiss up to the Saudis.
I also find it funny that it's OK now for Obama to embrace his Islamic roots...having grown up for a while in primarily Islamic nations and even saying his father was Islamic. Let someone mention that during the campaign and they were immediately excorriated.
