The Cairo Deception
It was tough to begin this day by watching President Obama destroy history, undermine Israel and bow, this time rhetorically, to Islam during his speech at Cairo University. Below are some examples and my reactions.
OBAMA: “…America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles – principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”
REACTION: Tolerance? Dignity? Islamic countries dominate the list of top human rights violators in the world. Throughout much of the Middle East, Christians live in fear and Jews can’t live at all.
OBAMA: “I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. …And when the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers – Thomas Jefferson – kept in his personal library.”
REACTION: Nice try, Mr. President. Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of the Koran at least in part because he wanted to understand what part Islam played in motivating the jihadists of his age – the so called Barbary pirates – in America’s first encounter with Islam and the first time we sent troops into combat overseas.
OBAMA: “Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail.”
REACTION: Thank you, President Obama, for that clear statement of cultural and moral relativism that infects so many of our elites and obviously shapes the way you deal with the world. So you want a world order, where no nation or group is elevated over another, where America is to be considered no better than North Korea, Syria, or Iran. All cultures and nations are not equal. Some believe in liberty and the dignity of individuals. Some believe people are cattle to be herded by government. That you don’t understand that your own nation is preferable and better than the thug states of the world is tragic and dangerous. How I long for the days when President Reagan regularly reminded us that we were to be a “shining city upon a hill.”
OBAMA: “On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people – Muslims and Christians – have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than sixty years they have endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
REACTION: The president here repeats a central tenet of Palestinian propaganda. Israel did not evict Muslim Palestinians – Arab League nations ordered them to leave. Nearly 20% of Israel today is Muslim. Nowhere does the president mention the Jewish refugees forced to flee to Israel. Nor did he mention that it is Arab Muslim countries that keep Palestinians in refugee camps rather than inviting and integrating them into their own countries.
OBAMA: “All of us have a responsibility to work for the day … when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together.”
REACTION: Don’t miss the significance of this statement. Here Obama is calling for turning Jerusalem, which has always been home for Jews, into an international city under control of who? The U.N.? The E.U.? All religions have access to Jerusalem now, because Israel, unlike its neighbors, is tolerant.
OBAMA: “That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews. That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah’s interfaith dialogue and Turkey’s leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations.”
REACTION: Yet another big wet kiss from the president for King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, a country that will not permit a Bible to be displayed nor allow an infidel to set foot in its “holy” cities.
OBAMA: “Hamas does have support among some Palestinians, but they also have responsibilities. To play a role in fulfilling Palestinian aspirations, and to unify the Palestinian people, Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, and recognize Israel’s right to exist.”
REACTION: Here the president extends an olive branch to one of the most bloodthirsty terror groups in the Middle East. The only “aspiration” Hamas is interested in fulfilling is the destruction of Israel and the eviction of the U.S. from the Middle East. And notice when the president says that Hamas must recognize Israel’s right to exist, he very tellingly leaves off the most important phrase “as a Jewish state.” Hamas will never recognize the right of Jews to have one nation.

Jefferson kept that Koran for the same reason Patton kept Rommel’s book.
Ah, there you have hit the nail on the head.
0bama is working hard to take us from being the former to the latter and therby put us on a par with North Korea, et al..
Thanks for posting, winnebago1
We are apparently a deluded people. A deceived people. Are we going willingly to our slaughter (metaphorically?)
We are indeed moving away from the success and and from the form of government which brought the highest level of existence, and lifestyle, to the most of its people ever.
Walking with our eyes wide open into the dark pit of Socialism/Communism.
Exactly. Most people will never understand the significance of Jefferson’s Kora. What Obama did yesterday was play on that ignorance and will have most people saying, “Oh, well if Jefferson had one then Islam must be okay dokey.”
Always remember the first rule of power tactics:
* 1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
* 2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication.
* 3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* 4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
* 5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
* 6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
* 7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time....”
* 8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”
* 9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
* 10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”
* 11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative.”
* 12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
* 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’...
“...any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?’ When your ‘freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...’
“One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.”

“The great strength of the totalitarian state,” Hitler once said, “is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”
“The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category,” he said.
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so.
Did muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, muslims to this day are still the largest trafficers in human slavery. Your own 'half brother' a devout muslim still advocates slavery himself, even though muslims of arabic descent refer to black muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says alot of what the muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich islamic heritage" doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media accounts of muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the islamic culture. So much so that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man that is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, them muslims are all for women's rights arent they?
Where were muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally Mr. Obama, where were muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing more than 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the middle east. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt yesterday June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many of us Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" muslims have here in America. Your made-up history as told in Cairo yesterday is simply that, the fiction that exists in your own mind.
0 distorts history to “make nice” with Muslims. It will come back to haunt us all.

“Asalmu alaykum” is not an “Arabic greeting”.
This is how BO began his ‘speech’
It is a required greeting from Muslim to Muslim.
Muslims and non-Muslims, of whatever ethnic group, do not normally exchange this greeting.
My impression is that BO galvanized most of the Muslim world unto himself and now HE is the titular head of 1.5 billion Muslims. He’s their boy now.
He now has that threat over us.
If we don’t behave, then he can call them up.
(How do you say “we’re screwed” in Arabic?)
