The Islamic World Looks at Obama
Cross Action News ^ | 9-10-08 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 09/10/2008 8:09:33 AM PDT by Victory111

Barack Obama caused another stir over his ties to Islam on Sunday when he noted that “John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith” in an interview with George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos immediately corrected him, and Obama backtracked to say, “my Christian faith…What I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim.”

A few pundits tried to make something of this, attempting to revive the “Obama is a Secret Muslim” rumors, but there really wasn’t anything more to it than a verbal stumble. Obama is not a Muslim, and there is enough to question about training, experience, ideology, core values, and judgment without endlessly parsing the slip of the tongue of a tired man.

Obama said, “... my Muslim faith.” What about his words can the press not understand? Is the press claiming again that Obama was just making a slip of the tongue because he was tired? Wasn’t his fatigue supposed to be the reason for his referring to our 57 states? How tired is Obama? What is causing the fatigue that messes up his reasoning?

I think if you interviewed a 1,000 true Christians, Hindus, Jews, Scientologists or any other religion and even asked them the same questions in many different ways, no matter how fatigued they might be, they would never utter the words, “my muslim faith.”

I don’t think there is any conspiracy or he’s a secret muslim plant. He still has a strong connection to islam from his formative years and his membership at Trinity was just politically expedient to his career goals. The hate America and bigotry coming from “Rev” Wright would have made many muslims feel right at home.
