So, President Obama will visit a mosque while in Indonesia but has only
attended church 4 times during his 2 years in office. I think this puts
Obama almost even with the number of mosques he has visited since taking
office. Just stating the facts folks.
Politico <http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/44322.html> reports:
*President Barack Obama will visit one of the world’s largest mosques when
he makes good on a long-delayed promise to visit Indonesia, the island
nation where he lived briefly as a child.*
The president will visit Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta — the largest mosque in
Southeast Asia and the third largest Muslim house of worship in the world —
during his swing through the country Nov. 9-10. Islam is the dominant
religion in populous Indonesia, making it the world’s largest
Muslim-majority nation.
White House national security aide Ben Rhodes said the visit is standard
protocol for Obama, who visited the famed Blue Mosque while on a visit to
Turkey shortly after his inauguration. “When he visited Muslim-majority
countries as president, he has often visited the most prominent mosques,”
Rhodes said.
The president’s high-profile visit, however, could stoke the heated
confrontation over the Park51 Project, an Islamic cultural center and mosque
planned for a site just north of where the World Trade Center towers fell in
Manhattan on Sept. 11. In August, Obama roiled the simmering debate when he
declared that Muslims have a legal right to build the cultural center — a
statement which angered opponents who saw the center as an affront to
victims and rescue workers who died on Sept. 11 — but he later said he
didn’t think building the cultural center was a good idea.
Rhodes cautioned against linking Obama’s statement about the Park51 Project
and his visit to the Jakarta mosque.
“I would not conflate the two,” he said. “When we planned to go to Indonesia
in March, we planned to go to this same mosque.”
