My Muslim President Obama (Why members of the Islamic faith see him as one of the flock.)

Forbes ^ | 02.25.09 | Asma Gull Hasan

[SeafoodGumbo]

I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know. In a very unscientific oral poll, ranging from family members to Muslim acquaintances, many of us feel, just as African-Americans did for the non-black but culturally leaning African-American President Bill Clinton, that we have our first American Muslim president in Barack Hussein Obama.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Yeah!...He’s all flocked up!

[chuck_the_tv_out]

[ETL]

From AsiaTimesOnline
Feb 26, 2008

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

Peace Be Upon All:

Love the article. And yes, He is my Muslim President, too. He, President Obama, dosent have to “say” he is Muslim, his actions “say” he is Muslim. Muslim “means one who submits his will to God”. His actions speak volumes that he follows the Holy scriptures. Also, too, Allah SWT, sent down the Gospel & Torah. Obama, too, is following those scriptures as well, because they all are confirmations of the Holy Quran, the final Holy Book God sent. So if you read all of them then you can “see” the broad spectrum and know that he, President Obama, is being a Muslim...submitting his will to God’s will. He is a rightous man. Not perfect, but rightous. His very name means “Blessing” (BARACK) Yes, he is MY Muslim president, too. I believe God has sent him to do a job. No, he is not a prophet, but a servant of God.”

As many of us here say, actions speak louder than words.

[laweeks]

“I know President Obama is not Muslim”

Not sure why you don’t think he’s a muslim . . . he was born a muslim, raised a muslim, went to muslim schools, has a muslim name, and only became a Christian when he found a church that would spit on America and all it stands for.

And don’t forget his “57-state” gaff during the campaign . . . there are 57 muslim states (just google ‘57 states’ and see what comes up) . . . he being a true Christian God-hatin muslim. It’s amazing that we put this illegal alien in the White House.

[Rappini]

I’m beside words.

[marron]

So when Obama says he's not Muslim, my umma mentality says I know better.

Obamists all see in Obama what they want to see. That is the one thing that has been remarkable about him; people read into him what they want to. They are convinced he agrees with them even when he has stated an opposing opinion; they are always sure that he secretly agrees with them, that he says what he needs to for political reasons but he really agrees with them. And it doesn't bother them in the least that they are sure he says one thing while believing another.

A buddy of mine, an Obamaniac, asked me why I was against him. I listed his stated positions that I disagreed with. His response? "He's not really going to do that", he said. But he says he will, I say. "But he won't. You and I both know he won't". So why do you support him if you know he's lying? "I know he wants to do those things, which is why I support him. But I know he can't really do those things, so you shouldn't worry about it". Astonishing.

[GeorgeTex]

I don't know why you say he's not a Muslim. His father was Muslim which is enough. And the Muslims are the “Hotel California”-You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. See my tagline.

[ScottinVA]

“I know President Obama is not Muslim”

We’re told over and over again that he is not muslim, but we don’t KNOW it. Frankly, I think the jury is still out.

[ZULU]

The Qur’an speaks often of the umma, or the worldwide community of Muslims. In the early days of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad led the small umma. Every decision, every effort, everything was for the umma—people who were often unrelated by blood but had become related by choice as Muslims. In those early days, many Muslims had gone against the wishes of their own families in converting to Islam, pitting brother against sister, father against child. Perhaps that's why the concept of umma became so dear and is still echoed today—in my opinion, echoed more than that Western favorite jihad—in Muslim homes, whether those homes are in the United States or in Palestine.

Perhaps it is my—and most Muslims’— loyalty to the umma that is behind our insistence on seeing Obama as Muslim. Islam survived and continues to survive because Muslims believe we have to respect and take care of each other, as members of the umma. If we were to start excluding members, or revising our broad guidelines for admittance, the very essence of the community feeling that is important in Islam, that gives me and other Muslims comfort everyday, would be undercut. So when Obama says he's not Muslim, my umma mentality says I know better. Once you have a Muslim parent, especially a dad, you're in. Whether you like it or not, Muslims all over the world see you as one of them.

Well, Ms. that's exactly why you can never REALLY be an American and no American should consider Muslims as really Americans.

You see, in America, Americans have always considered THEMSELVES part of a "special community". We call it AMERICA. Regardless of race or religion, we always consider ourselves from a political perspective Americans first. Sure, there are a few wackos out there who think diferently, but those opinions are not generally required by any other political segment of our society - except, of course, Muslims.

Most Americans still don't understand you and people who think like you. They still try to equate Islam with Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, or any other religion. Unlike you, they fail to understand that Islam is not just a religion. It is a social system, a political system, an economic system, and a nation. But they will learn.

I just hope they don't learn too late.

AND, by the way, JIHAD is not a favorite WESTERN word. Its a favorite ISLAMIC word.

[Vaduz]

I know President Obama is not Muslim/ Prove it!

[expatguy]

"....To suitably prejudiced Indonesians Obama's pledge to "rid the American mind-set of militarism" substantiates the position of the Islamic militants by rekindling the prophecies of Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. That America is a decadent and vile ogre, bloodied with the guilt of imperialism and inescapably tainted by an anti-Islamic history. It is this symbolically violent imagery that Indonesia's fundamentalist orators will use to radicalize a new contingent of militants from the ranks of Islam's moderates. Individuals who are mesmerized by the phantasmagorical image of one of their own now inhabiting the White House and who will see it as a sign of America's impending submission and our nation's acquiescence to the superiority of Islam..."

Islam's Battle For The White House

[Marie2]

“I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know.”

This opening sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Most muslims he knows are muslims, even though they are not?

[JoeA]

This is a great article, and one of the most telling about the “real” Obama. Freepers: let’s pass this one around.

[ETL]

he was born a muslim, raised a muslim, went to muslim schools, has a muslim name, and only became a Christian when he found a church that would spit on America

Amazing that so many here still don't get what Obama's about. The guy is a Marxist! His "Change" movement is about Marxist takeover, not a U.S. conversion to Islam. The "church" Obama found and remained loyal to for twenty friggin years preaches "Black Liberation". BLT is a revolutionary communist political ideology. He's been surrounded and groomed by communists his whole entire life.

Saul Alinsky on "Change"...
From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."

A Landslide Mandate For Change

Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Are you saying that Punahou, Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard University are Muslim schools? I thought he attended one Muslim school for part of the four years he lived in Indonesia as a young child. By your argument, George W. Bush got his MBA from a Muslim school.

[ETL]

No wonder we got our butts kicked. If people here don’t understand the most fundamental things about Obama and the “Change” movement (he didn’t invent the ‘Change’ thing, it’s old-time commie speak for Marxist takeover), it must be far worse on the outside.

[WellyP]

If your father was a Muzzie, YOU ARE a Muzzie! If you refuse to accept your Islamic “duties” you are an Apostate. According to Koranic writings, the scripture of “The Cult of Islam”, a Muslim MUST KILL YOU! It is his DUTY to Allah.

[autumnraine]

I was very very sad to see this in my hero, James Randi.

He is convinced that Obama doesn’t really believe in God, just like all politicians “Says what he has to say to get elected”. Yes, he actually said that.

This is man who has spent his WHOLE LIFE in exposing flim flam people and the biggest flim flam man in all time took in the Great and Amazing Randi.

Very very sad.

[ETL]

The commies are *allied* with the Islamo-fascists in their joint war on the U.S. and freedom in general, but commie 'intellectuals' like Obama and Ayers are not exactly into religion...of any kind. Commies have used various phony religious movements as stages to promote hatred and anti-Americanism for decades. Liberation Theology is one such movement, and James Cone's and Rev Wright's 'Black Liberation Theology' stems from LT.

Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu

"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

THE DRY TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM

Despite daily news of atrocities, our leaders are always keen to stress that Islam means peace,

but does it and can it?...”

[RipSawyer]

How about this.

I, as well as most muslims I know, am tempted to believe that president Obama is a muslim, even though we know that he is not a muslim.

Personally I think he is evil incarnate.

[RipSawyer]

I am not sure I understand you, can you state this differently. It sounds as though you are saying that Obama does believe in God but he made Randi think that he didn’t.

[autumnraine]

What I’m saying is that Obama CLAIMED to believe in God. James Randi said he understood that it was just something he had to say as a politician implying that Obama must not really believe in God, but said so because it was politically expedient to say so.

In other words, Obama became the blank chalkboard for an Athiest proving that people project their own desires on Obama.

Phil Plait, the “Bad Astronomer” saw Obama as the “Science President”, that he was going to advance scientifically what all the middle ages Christians want to hold back. (yes, I respect him scientifically, but he is a moron in this respect) So even though Obama has put a non-scientist nincompoop in charge of reducing the cost of NASA, including dropping important programs, he is STILL being hailed as the Science President.

Two prime examples of people hearing what they want to hear and putting their own desires onto the President of Hopenchange.

[laweeks]

“Are you saying that Punahou, Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard University are Muslim schools?”

Please, you know exactly what I mean . . . he was raised a muslim, came to the U.S. and then went to our school. There’s no evidence that he changed his religious thinking one iota. His 57-state gaff, and his later “my muslim faith” gaffe were not by accident . . . he’s a muslim. If there were a shred of Christianity in this man, he’d have left the American-hating church in Chicago years ago and would never have brought his children to that church.

This man, his wife, and all his friends despise the U.S. and all it stands for. He must get the biggest chuckle out of us having been so stupid as to have put him in the White House.

[itsahoot]

I know President Obama is not Muslim

How do you know that for a fact?

[ETL]

Sorry, but I'm forced to post this entire mess again. I had foolishly believed that most people, by now, understood what Obama and his "Change" thing was about. If people here, with the wealth of information that has been presented over the past 6 months or so, are unable to understand it, we are indeed in trouble.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]

(some key excerpts)

["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.

I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."

SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Excerpt from The American Thinker
Article: Obama, Black Liberation Theology, and Karl Marx
May 28, 2008

Just one nugget from the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Instruction on Certain Aspects of the ‘Theology of Liberation': "...it would be illusory and dangerous to ignore the intimate bond which radically unites them (liberation theologies), and to accept elements of the marxist analysis without recognizing its connections with the (Marxist) ideology, or to enter into the practice of the class-struggle and of its marxist interpretation while failing to see the kind of totalitarian society to which this process slowly leads."
--Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect, now Pope Benedict XVI; written in 1984

Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims.

These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Teaching Malcolm X

Karen Salazar, an LA teacher, was fired for being “too Afro-centric,” notably teaching The Autobiography of Malcolm X. At a time when banning books is back in style in many quarters, and the right to think at all is under steady and screaming attack, Salazar deserves the support of all citizens, teachers, students and parents. Find her students’ protest on You Tube. Speak up for free thinking and open dialog.

"While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952, he became one of the Nation's leaders and chief spokesmen. For nearly a dozen years, he was the public face of the Nation of Islam. Tension between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, head of the Nation of Islam, led to his departure from the organization in March 1964."

Excerpt from The American Thinker
Article: Obama, Black Liberation Theology, and Karl Marx
May 28, 2008

Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims.

Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

They may not believe, but to work with these wackos they still have to kind of get “into” it or at least into it’s corner.

Watching what he’s done in only a month I still say actions speak louder than words.

He may just be trying to gain favor with muslims so they will do his bidding.

I wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility that he may still be in the faith.

If he really was a muslim(I’m not saying he isn’t)I wonder how the average American would really feel about it. Would they really be able to trust him enough to vote for him?

And then there’s that whole al taqiyya thing...

[ETL]

He may just be trying to gain favor with muslims so they will do his bidding.

Certainly the far left is allied with the anti-American Muslims and Islamic terrorists. But Obama is a Marxist "intellectual", and everyone knows that 'Marxist intellectuals' aren't exactly religion-friendly, unless of course it's one of those many bogus commie-front 'religions' like Liberation Theology. Then they eagerly encourage 'religious' participation. The 'god' they worship does, however, wear a long white beard.

[Just A Nobody]

Not disagreeing with anything you said, however, he can still be an islamofascist as well as a communist. He is an islamofascist, foreign born, communist b-turd, IMHO.

[ETL]

He’s an elitist ‘intellectual’. These people scoff at religion (all religions). They may ‘act’ as if they don’t in order to attract more supporters, especially from the Black and Hispanic communities, where religion is held in high regard. But don’t believe for a minute that someone like Obama is truly ‘religious’ in any way (other than the Marxist ‘belief’ system). Marxist Black Liberation Theology is NOT an accepted religion. It was banned by several popes. Please refer to my earlier post for more info (the loooooong one).

[Califreak]

The idea that his heart leans toward both ideologies is very disturbing because both of them are intent on world domination.

I don’t know very much about it, but from what little I do know, the two forces combined and acting together could be globally devastating to humanity.

This is interesting:

Russia and Islam are not Separate:

Why Russia backs Al-Qaeda

http://cicentre.com/Documents/russia_islam_not_separate.html

“A key distinction between Russian and American attitudes towards Islamic terrorism is that while for America terrorism is largely seen as an exterior menace, Russia uses terrorism as an object as a tool of the state for manipulation in and outside the home country. Islamic terrorism is only part of the world of terrorism. Long before Islamic terrorism became a global threat, the KGB had used terrorism to facilitate the victory of world Communism.”

[Rome2000]

I know President Obama is not Muslim

What are you, some kinda retard?

[Rome2000]

Our poor nation.

The President is a marxist crypto-muslim.

By the way, what CHRISTIAN CHURCH did the THIEF IN CHIEF attend last Sunday?

I mean, as a Kenyan crook we all knew he was going to steal everything in sight once he got to the White House but 2 TRILLION DOLLARS?.

This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode.
