Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated..., Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

[JCG]

With Obama as president, what's the chance that this number will cease to rise?

I wonder how 'pretty' Obama thinks the sound will be of the Voice of Almighty King Jesus when He says to all of those deluded Islamists,

"Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Do a google search for Odinga Obama Kenya Luo Islamic Terror. Odinga and Obama are cousins and Odinga just got installed in a power-sharing arrangement in Kenya by Kofi Annan. Obama campaigned for him in 2006.

[newheart]

And yet he's still not THE ONE.

[Cicero]

but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.

Nope. He's never had any training in Islam - move along ....

Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

As apposed to the Pledge of Allegiance - which he doesn't participate in -

Wake up, America

[Siberian-psycho]

Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

I had a cow that was dying and bawling, it sounded almost exactly like the Mullah’s call to prayer.

[imskylark]

“Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.””

That was the first thing I heard when I got to Bahrain. It is anything but pretty.

[Ukiapah Heep]

[Califreak]

>“Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”<

This from the guy who keeps trying to tell us, “I’m not a muslim, I’m not a muslim.”?

He trips up over his own lies every day in one way or another. How can a guy lie like this and get so far in politics? He’s not even good at it!

[Califreak]

Just wondering if the other pretty sound is Mrs. Obama going, “Lulululululululululu!” when he gets home every day.

[factmart]

He’s not a Muslim now,

He’s in a black cult now.

[factmart]

He’s not a Muslim now,

He’s in a black cult now.

[Califreak]

Oh you mean he’s a black seperatist? Like that’s any better! LOL!

[johniegrad]

Hiliary pre-election plant?

[ricks_place]

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he (B. Hussein Obama) said in a wide-ranging interview in his office. He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

B. Hussein Obama was studying the Koran as an Indonesian Muslim rather than the Bible as an Indonesian Christian. Kristoff quotes B. Hussein Obama from an interview but now he denies it. Something is rotten in this narrative.

[zebra 2]

And right about now, Obama must himself be considered Allah’s answer to all those prayers.

[factmart]

Oh you mean he’s a black separatist? Like that’s any better! LOL!

You can use both,

Under the definition of cult, he’s so called church is one.

A Real Christian could never vote for Obama,

THE BIBLE SAYS “GOD BLESSES THOSE THOSE THAT BLESS ISRAEL”

You aren’t blessing Israel bypulling out of Iraq, not fighting as hard as you

can against terrorism, and elected a Arab american as President.

[RoseofTexas]

This FREAKIN tower of TERROR offense me like the Cross offend mooslims, etc. MY GOD how can Missourians allow this crap to tower over their land?? IN CA. the cross has been removed because it offended some...GROW SOME FREAKIN BALLS and file a lawsuit to stop this CHIT!! WHERE IS the OUTRAGE.....anyone???

[Califreak]

>THE BIBLE SAYS “GOD BLESSES THOSE THOSE THAT BLESS ISRAEL”<

There’s way too many people who just don’t get that one.

Believers yet! Some people say it’s not in the bible. I’ve found it in my King James a few times-don’t remember the exact verse numbers & all that though.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Kristof may have just skunked Obama’a campaign for the presidency. Re the lint that “but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics - and more likely to be aware of their NATIONALISM - if he once studied the Koran with them”,

Holy crap, Batman. So Islam is not about “a religion of peace”; it is about plain old “Nationalism”, the cause of most of the wars in the past several hundred years.

Let’s see: A nationalistic Iran; a nationalistic Egypt; a nationalistic Palestine; a nationalistic Sudan; etc. Oh, that explains the genocide, dhimmitude, slavery, murder, and schools for terrorism. It is “nationalism” that drives this, not “religion.”

Oh, I’m so sorry. We had it backwards.

I guess the Crusades were about “nationalism” and should be given a pass by the Moslem world, which, according to the Gospel of St. Kristof, is what the Moslems are about themselves.

Gee, when Sheik Khalid Mohammed slit Daniel Pearl’s throat and cut off his head (and the same for Nick Berg and the others in Iraq), it was for “nationalism.” Then what was all that crap about it being done for Allah and the world’s Moslems?

So killing Jews and Christians is only about “nationalism”, not a religious conflict.

Thanks Kristof, you just made the world understandable.

The Moslems are “just depraved because they are deprived” of nationalism. Jihad, Jihad, Jihad!!!!

[Kackikat]

God told Abraham that he would give him the land of Canaan (Israel), to him and his descendents FOREVER. God told Abraham that ‘those who bless you will I bless, and those who curse you will I curse’, and it is found in Genesis Chapter 12: vs 1-7
So what part of FOREVER is it that they don’t understand?
Although Ishmael (father of Islam nations) was Abraham’s son by Hagar not Sarah, IT WAS GOD who said Ishmael would not share in the inheritance of Isaac (Gods chosen Child of the Promise by Sarah, and father of the twelve tribes (sons) of Israel) to whom Israel was promised forever.

[Palladin]

If he gets in, they’ll have to build a minaret right next to the White House!

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

The verse is Gen. 12:3; it is my tagline.

The full text is “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you and in you all of the nations shall be blessed.”

This is G-d speaking to Abraham, the father of the Jewish people.

[Califreak]

I never used to think that all the geneology info in the bible was too terribly important. It is very lengthy and hard to follow at times.

Now, I know better. There is a reason for every word in the bible.

[Califreak]

Isn’t there more than one verse that warns us though?

Seems like it was mentioned several times.

[missnry]

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

I would much rather have a President that has shivers going down his spine every time the National Anthem is played rather than praising the sounds of the local imam calling his people.

PS He must have never been in Cairo when 1000 calls to prayer at sunset sounds like utter mass confusion echoing across the city.

[Kackikat]

Amen. Abraham’s sin with Hagar, although sanctioned by Sarah his wife goes to show that sin will get you in the end.
The history and geneology of the Old Testament and how sin was covered with the blood of animals, and coupled with the
New Testament primise of Jesus as the once and for all sacrifice gives us the knowledge of how things happened, its effect on us, and what will happen now and in the future because of it. It lends new meaning to “reaping what you sow”. It’s not only in your lifetime, but effects generations to come.
I have two blogs that I have just started, one with a friend dedicated to the Bible, and another one where I express some deep felt opinions so drop by http://lbsmbroadcast.blogspot.com and read our posts. Leave a comment if you so desire. You will also be able to link to freedom express at blogspot from there.

[swampdweller]

Build one? He’ll just put speakers on top of the Washington Monument.

[Karliner]

Hmmm"Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'”

Prettiest at sunset... well sunsets are pretty but the sun is dying for the day, possibly the same way the muzzies will die in their last sunset hurrah....now a sunrise, bright, clear, beginning of a new day....ah now that's not only beautiful but full of the promise of God's blessings to all mankind( the God of the Bible...not some floundering howling moon god from hell).JMHO, heh heh,

[Palladin]

Oh! Perish the thought!

[swampdweller]

Palladin, your tagline is right. They do look alike!

[Tex Pete]

[expatguy]

Where does Kristoff make the denials?

[ricks_place]

Obama states he’s never been Muslim; yet in the Indonesian school he studied the Koran with Muslims rather than the Bible with Christians. Obama says he has been a Christian for 20 years; this begs the question what was he for the other years of his life. Obama denys; Kristoff only relates the interview.

[PapaBear3625]

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.

I think this little bit of data is very interesting, and has not gotten enough consideration

In an interview, Obama :

1. Recalled the Islamic call to prayer and was able to recite it verbatim
2. Off the top of his head
3. In Arabic
4. With a proper Arabic accent

Rather a remarkable feat for a man who allegedly was not a Muslim, wouldn't you say?

Most people would not be able to do that, unless it was something they recited or heard every day

Yes, and since Arabic isn't the language of Indonesia he would have had to pick it up from some source other than his Jakarta street buddies.  Has there been a madrassa coverup?

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)

He seems to have severe Muslimnesia.  He grew up amidst Muslims, was trained in Islam and, most likely, even influenced by it.  But he seems to have trouble remembering his experiences with it.

Again, I don't say that Obama is a Muslim, I just fear that as president, in the face of jihad, he'd have the warm fuzzies for the adversary and not the ones resisting them.
