Barack Obama attended an Islamic school growing up in Indonesia and his father was a Muslim.

Obama's experience within Islam as a boy should give him a unique perspective into Islam unlike any other U.S. President.

How do you feel the election of Barack Obama will impact Islam in America?

Aaaw, I'm touched (sob, sniffle)....

When the first terrorist attack hits America during his Marxist regime, I'm sure 0bama will blame the Elbonians.

Hum, Reverend Wright said the “Chickens have come home to roost”, and we know what he meant now.

Nothing to see here, move along. This is commonplace. As a matter of fact, I am sure you could dig through the web archives and find the one they sent Bush.

[NTHockey]

Can we please not use President or President-elect in the same sentence as 0bomaination?

[elkfersupper]

Expect similar congratulatory comments from Hezbollah and Hamas.

Might even see the same from Iran, North Korea and Cuba.

Putin may even chime in.

[Dudoight]

Obama was a Muslim in Indonesia and now he is a Christian....doesn’t that put him on the Islamic hit list? I think they call it a fatwah or something like that.

[MtnClimber]

Not surprising!

[JennysCool]

Muslims are so amusing.

[diverteach]

Ummm, I do believe it’s in the Quran that it is expressly forbiden for a Muslim to convert to Christianity like he confesses he has done, punishable by death.

[SECURE AMERICA]

PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today congratulated President-elect Barack Obama on his election win and offered the Muslim community’s support for ensuring that America remains both safe and free.

Oh crap. I just got a freakin hernia from laugh so hard and falling to the floor.......

Founded in 1994, CAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has thirty-one chapters and regional offices in the United States and Canada. CAIR was founded by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahwad, Rafiq Jaber, and other former members of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP). Jaber is also the current spokesman for the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation in Illinois; a mosque tied to the IAP and to the Quranic Literacy Institute named in the 2004 drive-by murder of David Boim.*
The IAP and Quranic Literacy Institute were ordered by the court to pay Boim's family $156M in restitution; money that had previously been raised in the U.S. as "charity" donations by these Islamic organizations. U.S. donations were used to finance terrorist activities, and subsequently for the results of said terrorist activities -- most interesting.
The IAP has often been referred to as the American wing of Hamas, a terrorist group that has vowed to destroy Israel. Of interest, Hamas senior leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, in a recent interview with Arab newspaper Asharq Al Awsat, said: "We do not and will not recognize a state called Israel. This land is the property of all Muslims in all parts of the world. Let Israel die!" Suffice to say, this is not an organization that has any desire or any plans for peace.
CAIR currently has enough political and "PC" (political-correctness) clout to cow the U.S. political and business establishment...

Disgusting organization. When have they ever sent a notice to anyone that they were willing to work with them.

In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said "CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil rights and advocacy group, offers its congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama on his historic election to our nation's highest office...

1999 : (CAIR'S LEADERS DESCRIBE THEIR MEDIA INTIMIDATION TECHNIQUES IN INTERVIEW WITH SAUDI WEEKLY UKAZ) In an interview with the Saudi weekly Ukaz in 1999, CAIR leaders discussed the organization's manipulation of the press under the headline "A Muslim America - Only a Matter of Time." One leader stated openly, "We control the media instead of the media controlling us." CAIR's founder, Nihad Awadh, described techniques utilized by the group's spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, to infiltrate the press: "You will be surprised to hear that all his articles do not go through censorship and correction in the big papers," Mr. Awadh said.
A CAIR leader added, "CAIR [exerts] today an organized and educated effort, using American media techniques and exploiting American legal loopholes...For example: One of the editors of the American monthlies attacked the Muslims...Answering these allegations, CAIR convened a press conference and recruited all Muslims to call the monthly in every communication method, and we paralyzed the paper's interests, and the man [the editor] was forced to apologize...We exploit this position whenever someone else rises up to attack Muslims, and present to him what happened to those before him, and then he retracts...This method has gained us great achievements and stops serious attempts to attack Islam."
