(CNN)Seeking to rebut what he views as perilous election-year bombast about
Muslims, President Barack Obama is at a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday,
his first visit to such a site in the United States.
"Muslim Americans keep up safe," Obama told the audience, crediting the
contributions Muslims have made to communities. "They are our police. They
are our fire fighters. They're in (the Department of) Homeland Security."
At the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a 47-year-old mosque with thousands of
attendees, Obama heralded the contributions of Muslims to American society
while issuing a forceful counterpoint to the language favored by some
Republican presidential candidates like Donald Trump, according to White
House officials.
"We've seen an alarming willingness on the part of some Republicans to try
to marginalize law-abiding, patriotic Muslim Americans," White House Press
Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Tuesday. "It's just offensive to a lot
of Americans who recognize that those kinds of cynical political tactics
run directly contrary to the values that we hold dear in this country. And I
think the President is looking forward to the opportunity to make that
point."
Obama has visited mosques in the past, but never inside the United States,
which is home to 2.75 million Muslims, according to the Pew Research Center.
Many Muslim groups have called for him to schedule a stop at a U.S. mosque
as a public rejection of Islamophobia, the same way President George W. Bush
did in the days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
But for Obama, who continues to be dogged by conspiracy theories that
suggest he himself is a Muslim (Obama is a Christian), a stop at an Islamic
center proved far more complicated the first seven years of his term. A CNN/
ORC poll in September found that 29% of Americans said they believed Obama
was a Muslim, including 43% of Republicans.
In his final year in office, however, Obama has sought to use his public
platform -- however waning -- to advocate against what he sees as dangerous
threads in the political discourse.
"The President's trip is extremely timely. It couldn't have come at a better
time," said Farhana Khera, the executive director of Muslim Advocates, who
cited an uptick in vandalism at mosques, and violence against Muslims
entering and exiting places of worship, as indications the time was right
for a presidential visit. | b*******m

Bay Area ramps up Super Bowl security in wake of San Bernardino, Paris

Among law enforcement’s fears: attacks against fiber-optic systems, threats
from drones, crowds being targeted outside Levi’s Stadium and “lone wolf
