Quote:He did state in his book that if the political winds shifted that he will take the side of Islam. 

I am no fan of the guy in the least bit but this quote is absolute horse [BLEEP]. 

 

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." 

 

You can take that as Obama siding with Islam or you can use your head and realize that he will keep immigrants to this country from suffering the same fate as the Japanese who were placed in internment camps. There are many things to knock the guy on (ex: his rhetoric after Paris has been pretty dumb) but making things up or intentionally quoting things out of context is nonsense.
