Reality checks abroad
Washington Times ^ | April 7, 2009 | Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

Two images last week contrasted sharply with President Obamas' otherwise adulatory treatment in Europe and Turkey. The images show how out of touch with reality Team Obama is on two of the most important national security threats of our time: (1) the totalitarian theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam calls "Shariah" and (2) the proliferating danger of nuclear weapons and the ballistic missiles that will deliver them.

The first image was reportedly captured by a cell-phone camera in the Swat Valley of Pakistan's Northwest Territories...recorded the agony of a 17-year-old girl being flogged by a "Taliban commander."...The video is inconvenient as it provides a vivid insight into the repressive, totalitarian and misogynistic nature of Shariah at the very moment that President Obama has been aggressively promoting the idea that the Islamic world must be "respected."

...he insists that non-Muslim Americans must use "respectful language" with regard to Islam and its followers. He went beyond words to demonstrate his submission to the King of Saudi Arabia by deeply bowing before him (something he did not do for the queen of England).

The trouble is that any criticism of Shariah and of those - including the Taliban - who practice it as authoritative Islam dictates is not simply seen as disrespectful. It amounts to blasphemy, a capital offense under Islamic law....

Non-Muslims' obligation to "respect" Islam is also high on the agenda of the seditious Muslim Brotherhood and scores of groups in the United States that operate as fronts for it. (Worryingly, some of the latter claim the Obama administration has expressed a desire to pursue the hiring of 45 Muslim Americans the brotherhood types have vetted for the purpose.)... Let us pray the folly being perpetrated by the object of such misplaced veneration today will not bring his country great grief tomorrow.

It will. Then it will be left to us "right wing patriots" to clean up the mess they will leave behind.
