Regardless of what Obama thinks or says, Muslims consider him a Muslim. In the Muslim world, one is automatically a Muslim if the father is a Muslim, and Obama's birth father was descended from Kenyans who adopted Islam from Arab invaders in Africa. No matter what religion Obama claims publicly, he is still considered a Muslim in the Muslim world.
Even if his father was not an active practitioner, Obama's Islamic inheritance and his public endorsement of Islam make him a useful Muslim. He can proclaim to be a Christian, and even attend a church, and still be considered a good Muslim if it enables and advances Islam.
President Obama's insistence that America is not in a war with Islam puts us in enormous peril because Islam has declared war on the West. Knowingly or unknowingly; willingly, or not willingly, Obama's position and policies are helpful to the Islamic totalitarian agenda to conquer the West, and render him useful for its advancement to the extent that his naïveté, ignorance, admission, or arrogance will allow.
Prior to the 2008 Presidential campaign, Obama attended a radical Christian church led by Pastor Jeremiah Wright. However, since becoming President, Obama has demonstrated more passion for Islam than for Christianity.
During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Candidate Obama never used his middle name "Hussein." The Islamic name was frowned upon as an insinuation that he was Muslim. "Hussein" was the name of the grandson of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Hussein's caliphate succession created a rivalry within Islam, marking the early beginnings of Sunni-Shiite differences. [1]
Obama's first name "Baraq" is reported to be the name of the mythological winged horse that Mohammed claimed carried him to paradise one night in a dream (while he was sleeping in Medina).[2]
After the election, Obama tried out his full name in Strasburg and uses it henceforth as if it is normal to the sensibilities of Americans in the wake of 9/11.
On his inauguration as president, Barack Hussein Obama received a letter from the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Secretary General, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, congratulating him for his new office, and calling for Obama to recognize the need for a new partnership between the U.S. and the Muslim world. Ihasanoglu is the major backer of the UN Defamation of Religions resolution that will end freedom of speech and freedom of conscience by criminalizing skepticism of, and opposition to Islam.
The Jeddah-based OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood agenda. The Muslim Brotherhood has the self-described mission of "destroying Western civilization from within." Ihsanoglu wrote in the letter:
"...commitment of the OIC to cooperate in order to promote a constructive dialogue and fruitful joint action in a bid to work out appropriate solutions to the intractable crises that face the Muslim world and the world at large." [3]
Obama promptly sent an unpublicized reply to Ihasanoglu thanking him for the congratulatory wishes. Ihasanoglu's reply to Obama was published in major U.S. newspapers on January 21, 2008. It stated that the OIC urged Obama to work for "shared" peace rather "imposed" peace:
"We warmly welcome your expressed desire to give a major address in a Muslim nation soon after you assume the presidency and hope it will mark the beginning of a more fruitful and better-informed dialogue between the West and the Muslim world...We firmly believe that America, with your guidance, can help foster that peace, though real peace can only be shared - never imposed. A nation can either be great or feared, but rarely both at the same time." [4]
Soon afterward, Obama showed further allegiance to Islamic causes in an interview with Al Arabia television.
Obama appeased Islamists by withdrawing all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center bombing. He halted all military trials of the detainees, banned waterboarding, closed all overseas CIA interrogation centers, and allowed an investigation into the CIA.
He has not sent extra troops to Afghanistan as requested by General McChrystal, and he is determined to close Guantanamo Bay. All this even though a group of five al-Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo, including one of the 9/11 masterminds, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described their charges in a document filed March 10, 2009 titled "The Islamic Response," as:
"badges of honor, which we carry with pride," further resolving that "killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you...are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion."
Even though the group of five further declared they were "terrorists to the bone," Obama will also abandon the term "enemy combatant" with regard to Guantanamo Bay prisoners.[5]
Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Friday, November 13, 2009 that the five Guantanamo Bay detainees will be transferred to New York to go on trial in civilian court.[6] The publicized concern is that in a civilian court the terrorists will gain access to American interrogation methods and have a jury of "peers." Ostensibly up for grabs to the interpretation of "fair trial" and "justice," this makes the American court system hostage to terrorist rational based on Islamic Shari'ah Law, where it is legal to kill non-Muslims who obstruct the Koranic manifesto to make the world submissive to Islam.
The jury of peers could ostensibly find the prisoners not guilty and release them free of charges because they acted according to their religious values and also because waterboarding was used to obtain evidence, which Obama has already denounced as "torture." Such a scenario would be a devastating blow to Western democratic values and a huge victory for Islam.
Just prior to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama signed a Presidential Determination on January 27, 2009 which appeared in the Federal Register on February 4, 2009. The Determination allows for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to "migrate" at American taxpayer expense.
Pursuant to the Migration Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, the Determination allowed for $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza, giving aid to Palestinians with ties to Hamas. According to the Register, President Obama's decision was necessary due to the "victims" urgent needs. It is worded:
"...it is important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza." [7]
In Cairo, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton announced an American Initiative to spend more money in the effort to rebuild Gaza, giving a UN agency authority to administer the funds. Hilary Clinton promised an additional $600 million to cover the Palestinian Authority's budget deficit in the West Bank and $300 million in reconstruction aid to Gaza. [8]
Then in early June 2009, The United States agreed to provide another $55 million in funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). That pledge brought 2009 funds given to the UNRWA to $154.5 million.[9]
In confusing or intentionally misleading statements, Obama has acknowledged the importance of recognizing that there is "a battle or a war" against some terrorist organizations which are not representative of the broader Arab Muslim community."[10]
Choosing his words carefully in an attempt to win over 'moderate' Muslims, Obama explained in a CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" television interview why he has not used the phrase, "war on terror," Obama answered:
"Words matter in this situation because one of the ways we're going to win this struggle is through the battle of hearts and minds."
Whose hearts and minds he wants to win is highly questionable. In his inaugural address, Obama invited the Muslim world to embark on "a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect." As president, his first call to a head of state was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. Not addressing the fact that the United States and Europe have been the targets of Islamic jihadists for centuries, Obama's apologetic tone indicated that Americans are disrespectful:
"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy...although we sometimes make mistakes... and have not been perfect...too often the United States starts by dictating and fails to use the language of respect."
According to an article by Zudhi Jasser in Family Security Matters, Muslims in the U.S. are likely to view Obama's administration as a friendly one. Jasser revealed that the group, The Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA), is trying to establish themselves in Obama's Administration with prominent and influential positions in the White House, the House, and the Senate.
Jasser wrote that the CMSA hosted an inaugural gala for the new President with an invitation list of Islamists in the United States that share the ideologies of political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.[11]
As a result, Obama appointed Arif Alikhan, a Sunni Muslim to the sensitive position of Assistant Secretary to Homeland Security. He also appointed Kareem Shora, the national executive director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council.

Meanwhile, focused on the legitimacy of Obama's citizenship, Hawaii's Governor Linda Lingle placed the birth certificate in question under seal with Hawaii's Department of Health to ensure no one in the press obtained access to it.
In a letter to World Net Daily, Governor Lingle said that the birth certificate would be released if Obama requested. The governor's communication gave no indication whether the birth certificate was originally issued by a Hawaiian doctor or if it was generated in Kenya and subsequently registered in Hawaii.[15]
Confusing the circumstances of Obama's birthplace, Obama's younger half-sister told reporters in a November 2004 interview with the Rainbow Newsletter that Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu. Then, in a February 2008 interview with Honolulu Star-Bulletin she reportedly told reporters that Obama was born at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children.
Hawaii's KGMB9 News reported that a health official in Hawaii, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, said she had seen a birth certificate. Fukino said that Hawaiian laws regarding identity theft prevented her from releasing the document. [16]
After multiple dismissed lawsuits to produce the birth certificate, Obama still will not allow the birth certificate's release. The secrecy perpetuates suspicion that Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen, and therefore ineligible for Presidency.[17]
Unfortunately, Madelyn Dunham could have shared information about Obama's life. She could have helped Obama prove the country of his citizenship, and possibly elaborated on his relationship with associates who are alleged to be terrorists and communists.
She also could have answered the question of who paid for her grandson's expensive tuitions at Hawaii's elite Punahou High School, and his college education at Harvard.
Barack Hussein Obama's background and associations make him a well groomed President for Communist and Islamic movements. Sharing mutual goals and historical allies, the grooming consists of radically controversial Communist and Islamic mentors and sponsors like Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Rashid Khalidi, Kahlil al-Mansour, and the infamous Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Frank Marshall Davis was picked by his maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, to be a black role model, mentor, and father figure for Obama when he was a youth in Hawaii. Obama would later write about the man identified as "Frank" in his book, "Dreams of My Father."
Giving Obama advice on college and racial matters, Frank, considered a security threat to the U.S., was under surveillance for 19 years, and had a 600 page file with the FBI. With communist associations in Hawaii and Chicago, Frank shared his poetry with Obama, which consisted of anti-white, anti-Christian, and anti-American themes.[18]
Saul Alinsky, considered the father of community organizing in Chicago, wrote a book called "Rules for Radicals" which he actually dedicated to Lucifer. The book advocates working within a system to obtain revolutionary 'change' in a given society, noting that it requires an agitating 'organizer' whose job is to persuade the people in the community to believe that unresponsive governments and greedy corporations are the sources of their alleged misery.
The organizing agitator then unifies the community to demand what they think they deserve, until governments and corporations grant their wishes in appeasement to quiet them.

In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged government misconduct. In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." [19] [20]
A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintained that Barack Obama and Bill Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer and former spokesman for Yassir Arafat.
Born in New York to a Jerusalem born Saudi citizen with Palestinian origins who worked for the UN, Khalidi was the director of the Beirut, Lebanon official Palestinian press agency, FAFA from 1972 through 1983. Khalidi left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, where he holds the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies.
He serves on the faculty as History teacher and is the director of its Middle East Institute in the School of International and Public Affairs.
Bill Ayers and Barack Obama gave testimonials at a goodbye party for Khalidi when he left Chicago for New York. Khalidi is reported to have direct ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a group on the US State Department's list of known terrorist groups.
Khalidi is also the professor who invited Iranian President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University after he finished his speech at the UN in September 2007.[21]

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, a lawyer who helped establish the Black Panthers, recommended Barack Obama for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988. In the 1960s, al-Mansour was involved with California Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. Formerly known as Don Warden, al-Mansour would later become a Muslim. A key figure in the Islamist "stealth" jihad, al-Mansour recruits prison inmates and mosque worshippers to engage in an apocalyptic battle against America. In the words of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic cause is to:
"Eliminate and destroy the Western civilization from within."
In the mid 1970's, al-Mansour met Saudi Prince Alwaweed bin Talal. Since then al-Mansour has been an adviser to Saudi billionaires who fund stealth jihad and spread Wahhabi Islamic extremism in America.[25]
Nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, Prince Alwaweed founded the Alwaweed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMSU) that has given millions of dollars to Middle East studies programs at Georgetown, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and other Universities. He offered ten million dollars to families of victims of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. After Mayor Rudolph Giuliani of New York rejected the offer, Alwaweed criticized U.S. Middle East policy, especially regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict saying: "Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis as the world (looks the other way)." [26] Alwaweed also suggested that the terrorist attacks were an indication that America "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause."[27]
The Nation of Islam's leader, Louis Farrakhan, endorsed Obama for President. Farrakhan is known for targeting hateful statements toward Jews, whites and homosexuals. In his address to the world at Saviors' Day in 2008, Farrakhan, said:
"Brothers and sisters, Barack Obama to me, is a herald of the Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new, something better is on the way. ...Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so racist, so evil in its treatment of Hispanics, Native Americans, and Blacks? Would God do something like that? Yeah. Of course he would."
As President, Obama's service to an Islamic agenda extends to participation in the "Alliance of Civilizations." The UN-sponsored Alliance reflects the views of the OIC.
A 2005 statement issued after a summit in Mecca explains the Alliance mission to internationally criminalize defamation of Islam as a form of racism:

The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee began the 2008 Presidential Campaign with $95 million in cash, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
By the end of September 2008, more than half Obama's donations came from small donors whose names the Obama campaign would not disclose. Only $39.6 million of the campaign's donations came from identified donors.
Federal law requires campaigns to identify donors who give more than $200 during the election cycle. The Federal Election Committee (FEC) determined that the Obama campaign drew in $222.7 million in donations of $200 or less so there is no way of knowing who they came from.
The FEC did notice unusual patterns in the donations among disclosed donors who went beyond the $200 minimum. The FEC does a post-election review of all presidential campaigns, but results can take three or four years. [29]
Further endorsement of Islam within his administration came when Obama announced in early February 2009 that he would change a "Faith Based Initiative" originally announced by former President Bush early in 2001. Obama said a new expanded Office for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships will give money to mosques and Islamic charities in a sign of "outreach to the Muslim world."
*snip*
Obama's leniency toward Islam provokes the question of whose and what interests he is really standing for. The man with the name Barack Hussein Obama apologizes for America to Muslim nations while he endorses Islam in America.
The socialist plans he has proposed and enacted will force Americans into feudal serfdom, ending the liberty and freedom we cherish today.
With Communism riding the backs of liberal Democrats, and Islamists riding the backs of both, Obama's plans are not just socialist.
They form a framework for generations of "dhimmitude," a class status forced upon non-Muslims by coercion and constant fear of reprisal as a result of cowardice, vulnerability, bribery and extortion, while paying "jizya"taxes for the "right" to live as second class citizens.
Obama's controversial plans and the resulting taxes are effectively dhimmitude and jizya in accordance to Islamic doctrine-to control dhimmis until they embrace Islam completely.
~~PING!
A greater platform is required for your message... tea partiers? More people need to be alerted to the evil jeopardy that has and is stealthing us.
WE need our own motivated community organizers!
The jury of peers could ostensibly find the prisoners not guilty and release them free of charges because they acted according to their religious values and also because waterboarding was used to obtain evidence, which Obama has already denounced as "torture." Such a scenario would be a devastating blow to Western democratic values and a huge victory for Islam.I believe this is exactly what will happen.
Thanks starwise, marked to read later.
Mabye muslims don't believe that has happened and the muslim in question is lying to the infidels in order to decieve them to gain favor from allah?
Put this whole mess back on Obamah!
Recall during the campaign when he said he had one more state to visit before he could say he had been to all 57 states?
Yes .. mind warp is complete.
bflr
Thank you for posting, Starwise.
marking for later.
True, there are leftists elements that see alignment with Islamic radicals because of their common goal of reducing American Traditionalism. But these two players are fundamentallly in opposition to each other. Islam being decidely religious and secular progressivism being decidely atheistic. Our concern is not the caliphate, but a socialist, fascistic, and atheistic society where individual liberty is subsumed to the needs of the state.
Sigh...
That’s pure fantasy. Islam doesn’t seem like much of a threat to you now. But take another look when they reach the same percentage as in England, France, Lebanon, the Philippines and so on. In *every* single country the muslim scum have made themselves a significant number the result has been violence towards everyone else and a push towards sharia. The same will happen in the US once they can get away with it. Actually it is already happening as you can see from the existence of sharia courts and terrorist organizations operating openly even within US borders.
Islam has the numbers to overwhelm the west if they are allowed to continue to occupy our cities. And they will do so, just as they have done everywhere else they have been given a chance. Muslims may seem normal and respectable now that they are a tiny minority (they did when they were 1% of the population in Europe), but with increasing numbers come an inceasing muslim fundamentalism. This has been and is the case in every country that is the victim of muslim colonization. The US will not turn out any differently than Lebanon or France. The muslims are not at the gates, this is true. -They are already inside and happily importing their cousins to live comfortably on our dime. Look at the numbers, exponential growth can change a country *quickly*...
Leftism won’t last. It cannot last, even without the external threat. Left to our own devices people would eventually grow to love their countries again, the media stranglehold would be broken, and the sheer mathematics of moral people having more children would eventually lead to a return to more moral societies. But this would take time - time which we simply don’t have thanks to the Great Betrayal - the mass migrations. Unless we stop the mass migrations our civilization is at an end. There is no single issue that comes close to it in importance. Leftism is merely an enabler, islam is the long-term threat towards civilization.
“the ways we’re going to win this struggle is through the battle of hearts and minds”
Who’s WE?
Praise the Lord...and pass the ammunition!
‘’where individual liberty is subsumed to the needs of the state’’. Ah, thats sounds alot like Islam to me. Sorry but I don’t buy your arguement about pious v.non-pious Muslims. Islam, all of it is the threat.
Christians already know what the evil is that we’re facing. We’ve known about it for centuries. The only ones that don’t know are the nonbelievers, Athiests, anti-Christians and Muslim extremists that don’t want to know. They’re part of the problem, you see. And as such, they’re part of the evil we face.
You are correct. Didn’t want to leave you out here alone as the only conservative willing to confront this feverish nonsense.
As you note, Islamic terrorism is a real issue and threat (though its forms and origins differ by country and context). But to some people there are always hordes at the gate, and they are always manning the ramparts of Western civilization. It fulfills a psychological need. The specific identity of the hordes just changes from time to time. At least the Communists were/are a real potential threat, given that their philosophical origins are an integral part of Western civilization.
