"Obama assured the Muslim nation that America is not a Christian nation..."
Reply
The treaty of Tripoli did that a loooooong time ago. It even passed unanimously.
Here is article 11:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
The treaty was printed in full in several contemporary papers and there is no record of any public dissent.-

Thanks for posting that, Tangent. It appears there are some right wing Christians that now take exception with the Treaty of Tripoli and with Obama restating the fact that America is not a Christian nation.

So why do these right wing Christians believe that Obama threw them under the bus?-

He's not just restating it, he appears to be demanding it in his presence.

Need to do a little more research on thast one!! I have. The "diplomat' who represented US added the words. He overstepped his bounds but in any case the meaning was taht USA did not have a legal system like Sharia law rulling as it does in Mslim countries.

It may have been raitified but later the langauge was altered BY THE CONGRESS with those phrases omitted.
