Obama Names Devout Muslims to National Security Posts

November 17, 2009

President Obama is doing a bit more than “reaching out” to Muslims.

U.S. President Barack Obama continues to “reach out to Muslims” by appointing them to key security posts amid charges he wrongly ignored internal Muslim terror.

Shora, who has been described as a “devout Muslim, joins another devout member of the faith, Arif Alikhan, who was appointed as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the Department of Homeland Security.

In my life, don’t actually see any blatant discrimination against Muslims as some claim.

All this political correctness will end up with more dead Americans.
