Had Obama had that instruction and experience as a kid, and then grown up to express a traditional/historic/orthodox Christian faith, I would have said that his Islamic/international experiences broadened him. But as it is, it is NOT the case.
Personally, I think Obama is more of a Muslim than he is a Christian.
Why do I think this? Because he attended a radical Marxist black liberation church for 23 years; a church whose pastor routinely showered Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan with praise and made him their “man of the year.”
The focus of black liberation theology - true to its Marxist heritage - is NOT Jesus Christ, but a Marxist conception of blacks as a poor oppressed class. It is far more about class- and race-based socialism and grievances against oppressive white society than it is about Christ.
An article I read about the Trinity United bookstore specifically pointed out there were more books on Islam, the Nation of Islam, and black liberation theology, than there were on orthodox Christianity.
Barack Obama not only participated in Farrakhan’s Million Man March, but was one of the leaders.
And his buddies are guys like Rashid Khalidi, not guys like Billy Graham.
Barack Obama does not seem to mind radicals who don’t have a problem exercising violence in the name of their cause, like Bill Ayers.
I support the state of Israel unequivocally. But I have reasons to believe that Obama does. He said Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel, and then went back on it the moment the Palestinians complained. They can’t trust him to stand by them.
Barack Obama’s opposition to the war in Iraq - which is fundamentally identical to the situation re: any war in Iran - means that if Israel doesn’t want to vanish in a mushroom cloud, they will have to attack Iran themselves.
“...if Israel doesn’t want to vanish in a mushroom cloud, they will have to attack Iran themselves.”
That’s a fact. And Israel should cease sharing any of its intelligence with the United States, because Hussein the Magic Marxist or his sycophants will share that intelligence with Israel’s enemies and America’s enemies.
