At a time, when the world is witnessing the rise of Islamophobia, the message from Obama will go a long way in assuring the Muslim community that they too are a part of the great American democracy.
Obama also asked his fellow citizens to stay away from anti-immigrant, anti-women and anti-gay sentiments.
