Wednesday Obama to celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation & reaffirm importance of religious freedom to our way of life

President Obama will travel to a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday in a show of solidarity with Muslim Americans, marking the first visit of his presidency to a U.S. mosque.

At the Islamic Society of Baltimore, the president will "celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life," said a White House official on Saturday.

Obama has recently knocked Republican presidential candidates for anti-Muslim comments, which he said has not been helpful in protecting the country against the threat of the Islamic State.
