Am I the only one that has noticed that while everyone else, when refering to the "video" the phraseology is, "a video that is offensive to Muslims and/or Islam". BUT, when Obama speaks about it he ALWAYS refers to it as a video that is, "offensive to the prophet Mohammed". What is the code that us Westerners are missing?

He is a secret homosexual muslim communist who probably roots for the Yankees.

It’s very simple, He is in full agreement with them. This is THEIR language he is speaking, not ours.

Proves that Obozo is a carpet kisser and not a Christian as he claims.

[pwatson]

just heard him on Fox news, your right he did say that

[Anti-Hillary]

Well, that was my take. I guess I was looking for a more covert answer. Sometimes the simplest answer really is the plain and simple truth.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Because he knows Muslims abroad are following this issue so his statement lets them know that he himself is a Muslim? After all, if he said “offends Muslims” then he’d be telling them he ISN’T one, which isn’t true.

Let’s be fair, Obama only left off “Peace be upon him”

[bigheadfred]

obama isn’t talking to us. He is talking to his fellow muzzies.

Dennis Prager today said everyone was starting to use the phrase “prophet Mohammed” while he continues to say “Mohammed.” He also remarked that he was the last holdout refusing to stop using the N-word where appropriate until he finally caved.

[donna]

Ha! Good catch.

[nicmarlo]

Yeah. I think Mesta’s right. He’s call Mohammed by how they call him, a ‘prophet.’ So, he’s recognizing that he’s ‘chosen by’ their god, and that’s more important than if something offends a muslim.

[1035rep]

He’s trying to appease the Muslim Brotherhood for which he’s a charter member.

[OneWingedShark]

If I remember, there's something about blasphemy against the Prophet {Mohammed} being unforgivable, even when blasphemy against Allah might be forgiven.

This shows me that the religion isn't about God [or Allah], but about Mohammed, and therefore false.

[lbryce]

From my less than complete knowledge of Islam, one of the most fundamental of Islamic principles is that it is forbidden to show, display images of the prophet, of what he looks like, his face, facial features. No depiction of him in any form is permitted.

That one item alone is offensive to Islam.

It said that this prohibition comes from the fact that Muhammad was, to put politely, was not much to look at, the term ugliness, ugly, repulsive-looking is what is said about his appearance, facial features.

It’s very simple, He is in full agreement with them. This is THEIR language he is speaking, not ours.

I never noticed it before but now that you say it, it really does sound like he's empathizing with the mohamedans.

Imagine if it were 1939 and the president used this type of phrase:
"offensive to the prophet Mohammed Fuhrer Hitler ".

What conclusion would the people of that time draw about the man in the WH?

[colorado tanker]

He’s no damn prophet in my book.

[SERKIT]

The tyranny of the overly sensitive. Bow to it, please.
