[00:00.00]President Barack Obama visited a Muslim religious center [00:05.04]in the United States for the first time as president on Wednesday. [00:09.56]"We're one American family," Obama said during his meeting [00:15.08]with Muslim-Americans at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, [00:19.35]in the eastern state of Maryland. [00:22.03]He said too often Americans link the Muslim religion Islam with terrorism [00:28.32]and blame the entire Muslim community for the "violent acts of a few." [00:34.26]Obama spoke about the contributions Muslims have made to American society. [00:41.37]He said "Muslim-Americans keep us safe. [00:45.96]They are our police. They are our firefighters. [00:51.29]They're in (the Department of) Homeland Security." [00:54.59]And he said "inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslims [01:00.50]has no place" in this country. [01:03.06]Obama has visited mosques in other countries, [01:07.87]but never in the United States. [01:09.97]His visit took place during an election campaign [01:13.44]in which Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump [01:17.16]called for a temporary ban on new Muslim immigrants. [01:21.29]Many Republicans -- including U.S. Sen. John McCain [01:26.24]and presidential candidate Jeb Bush -- [01:28.99]condemned Trump's plan. But Ben Carson, [01:32.62]another Republican presidential candidate, [01:35.23]said a Muslim should not be permitted to serve as president. [01:39.36]Obama has not directly answered the comments about Muslims [01:43.53]from the Republican candidates. [01:45.18]But he has criticized anti-Muslim statements. [01:48.63]In his final State of the Union address last month, [01:51.92]Obama asked Americans to reject any politics that target people [01:57.68]because of race or religion. [02:00.41]"When politicians insult Muslims, whether abroad or our fellow citizens, [02:06.23]when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid is called names, [02:10.66]that doesn't make us safer." [02:12.94]Muslim-American groups have been asking Obama to visit a mosque [02:17.79]in the United States for some time. [02:20.23]They asked again after threats and attacks on Muslims last December. [02:25.87]The Islamic Society of Baltimore has received such threats. [02:30.92]Police have increased security at the building, [02:35.03]which includes a place for religious study, a health clinic and a school. [02:40.64]It was started 47 years ago and has thousands of members. [02:46.17]President Obama has said it is important for the federal government [02:51.76]to work with Muslim-American leaders to help fight attempts [02:56.12]by extremists like the Islamic State terrorist group [02:59.75]to radicalize Muslims in the U.S. [03:02.26]I'm Dorothy Gundy.
