A brief note from Fjordman:
I got this story via AntiJihad Norge. The Iranian ex-Muslim Ali Sina, who is the author of the book Understanding Muhammad, comments on the dark sides of Obama’s personality.
From Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer by Ali Sina:
I must confess I was not impressed by Sen. Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was It is surreal to see the level of hysteria in his admirers. This phenomenon is unprecedented in American politics. Women scream and swoon during his speeches. They yell and shout to Obama, “I love you.” Never did George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt. Martin Luther King Jr. or Ronald Reagan arouse so much raw emotion. Despite their achievements, none of them was raised to the rank of Messiah. The Illinois senator has no history of service to the country. He has done nothing outstanding except giving promises of change and hyping his audience with hope. It’s only his words, not his achievements that is causing this much uproar.
When cheering for someone turns into adulation, something is wrong. Excessive adulation is indicative of a personality cult. The cult of personality is often created when the general population is discontent. A charismatic leader can seize the opportunity and project himself as an agent of change and a revolutionary leader. Often, people, tired of the status quo, do not have the patience to examine the nature of the proposed change. All they want is change. During 1979, when the Iranians were tired of the dictatorial regime of the late Shah, they embraced Khomeini, not because they wanted Islam, but because he promised them change. The word in the street was, “anything is better than the Shah.” They found their error when it was too late. - - - - - - - - -
Khomeini promised there would be separation between religion and state. He lied and they did not care to look into his past to see whether he actually meant what he said. Had they done that they would have seen that he always believed in caliphate and the rule of Islam. People gobbled everything he told them uncritically. They wanted to believe and therefore closed their eyes so they did not see what they did not want to see. Eyes welled when he spoke. Masses poured into the streets by the millions, screamed and shouted to greet him. People kissed his pictures. Some saw his portrait reflected on the Moon.
Listening to Obama… it harkens back to when I was younger and I used to watch Khomeini, how he would excite the crowd and they’d come to their feet and scream and yell.
History is replete with examples of how ignorant people are led astray, with disastrous consequences. It always ends badly.
I forgot to mention this earlier. Saw in Investors Business Daily that dems expect Colin Powell to endorse Obama tomorrow on one of the Sunday Talk Shows. Blood is boiling.
I just switched over to Real Clear Politics to look at the electoral map and nearly cried. How can BO be ahead in places that Bush easily won? Even Nevada and Colorado are looking bad. All I can say is this guy is right, the guy is so full of himself and people do not see it.
So why did he give his political contributions to McCain? I hope you are wrong, but then again “he is just one of the boys”. Talk about racism...
The simularities between Obama and Adolf are chilling.
Powell also said BO wasn’t qualified. This rumor has come up on several occasions and was never true. My bet is it is a bogus rumor this time too.
Mussolini is a better model for Obama...or American fascists like Wilson and FDR.
I will never accept the one. EVER. Red friggen Dawn.
When I ask people why they are voting for Obama they just say they want change. I ask them what he’s going to change and they can’t give me a straight answer. They are following blindly. Not a good thing.
That’s basically what all the crackpots say when they call CSPAN.
Dummies.
ohiogrammy, don't despair. Real Clear Politics uses an amalgamation of various polls, including some bad ones. Moreover, their numbers are based on polling that goes back for weeks in some states. So, their numbers do not fully reflect McCain's recent uptick in the polls. In short, their map is a lagging indicatior. Also, McCain has momentum on his side.
While I would rather post this as a separate article, I will say here that what is happening to Joe The Plumber, just because he asked an honest question that elicited an honest but troubling answer from the bomma shows the nazi tendencies that accompany him and what will come to America if he is elected....
“The simularities between Obama and Adolf are chilling.”
So very true. As a Christian I’m beginning to understand how the Jews in Germany felt when Hitler was rising to power.
And they said it couldn’t happen here in America . . .
Women scream and swoon during his speeches. They yell and shout to Obama, “I love you.”
They are paid. Just like some false healers take their sick with them and re-heal them every place they go, I bet obamination plants people in the crowd. The Pharisees and Saducees cheered “Crucify Him!” and got the crowd all riled up. I am so anti-crowd joining that at a Farm-aid concert I refused to sing along, even though I wanted to support the Farmers. The only crowd I will join is the one that kneels and claims Jesus is LORD.
> And they said it couldn’t happen here in America . . .
Well, I just bought a 9mm, just in case.
> The only crowd I will join is the one that kneels and claims Jesus is LORD.
I hear you. There’s going to be something when Obama gets to heaven’s gate acting all self-important and Jesus says “who the f-— are you? I never knew you.”
I mean honestly, you just can’t argue with Jesus. (Unless you want to lose.)
In essense this is saying the liberals are lazy ass-s. Instead of looking into what has been problematic and where the origins of their problems lie in their discontent honesty—they jump onto the Hitler express. Idiots. Fools. SS.
