A conservative activist and former presidential candidate says the appeasing tenor of Barack Obama's recent Ramadan address makes him wonder if the president actually understands threat the U.S. faces from radical Islam.
On Friday President Obama heaped much praise on Islam during his five-minute address to Muslims both in the United States and around the world. The president said Ramadan is "a time of intense devotion and reflection" when Muslims fast during the day, perform their prayers at night, and recite and listen to the entire Koran during the course of the month. "These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

"Radical Islamists hate America, hate our Western allies, hate Christianity, and hate our freedoms," he states bluntly. "And the president can make these nice statements all he wants -- but unless he understands that we are at war with radical Islamofascism, we are going to face very grave dangers in the months and years ahead." Bauer says it is almost breathtaking to see how much the Obama administration feels compelled to promote Islam.
