Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Does President Obama Hold These Truths to be Self-evident?: "What world do you live in? This should be a simple question for anyone to answer – Earth. But some have fallen into using the language of policy wonks that the world actually has multiple 'worlds' within it. For example, you continually hear references to 'the Muslim world,' including President Obama's recent comments to the press. What is exactly is a 'Muslim world,' and why would we accept the segregation of part of the world to belong to only one identity group?

If government leaders, policy makers, and the press started referring to 'the white world,' 'the black world,' 'the Christian world,' etc., wouldn't we be asking them 'what are you talking about'? But the segregationist concept of a so-called 'Muslim world' is so ingrained and accepted within foreign policy dialogue that we continue to see the use of this phrase. This includes people who know better. I was recently asked about a challenge in the 'Muslim world.' As I stated then, our biggest problem with Islamic supremacism as an ideology is the idea that we would ever accept a segregationist concept as a 'Muslim world.'"
