Gawd's balls, that's stupid.
Nobody expects Obama to endorse the bad bits of Islam. But it's completely moronic to ignore the next two sentences which endorse theocracy and beheading dissenters, and pretend they don't exist.
I'm sure there are some "good bits" in Mein Kampf too, but would you respect anyone who quoted from it for the purpose of making Hitler look peaceful? It's absurd and intellectually bankrupt.
