In his final State of the Union address last month, Obama asked Americans to reject any politics that target people because of race or religion.

當(dāng)政治家們對(duì)穆斯林進(jìn)行侮辱,不管是國(guó)外的還是我們的民族同胞,當(dāng)一座清真寺遭到破壞,或者當(dāng)一個(gè)孩子被辱罵,這些都會(huì)使我們感到惶恐不安。
Muslim-American groups have been asking Obama to visit a mosque in the United States for some time. They asked again after threats and attacks on Muslims last December.
一段時(shí)間以來(lái),美國(guó)穆斯林團(tuán)體一直邀請(qǐng)奧巴馬總統(tǒng)參觀美國(guó)清真寺。在去年十二月,穆斯林遭受威脅與攻擊之后,再一次發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)。
The Islamic Society of Baltimore has received such threats. Police have increased security at the building, which includes a place for religious study, a health clinic and a school. It was started 47 years ago and has thousands of members.
巴爾的摩伊斯蘭協(xié)會(huì)已經(jīng)收到這樣的威脅。警方已經(jīng)對(duì)一些建筑加強(qiáng)安全保障,其中包括一處宗教研究的場(chǎng)所、健康診所和一所學(xué)校。該協(xié)會(huì)始建于47年前并已擁有成千上萬(wàn)名成員。
President Obama has said it is important for the federal government to work with Muslim-American leaders to help fight attempts by extremists like the Islamic State terrorist group toradicalize Muslims in the U.S.
