How so? Please educate us. My post was speculation based on conversations I’ve had with Avi Lipkin, the man whose wife Rachael intercepted Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit saying Obama told him he was Muslim. Do you think that is also bunk?

The alleged battle between two of the number of sects of Islam, Sunni and Shi'a, for supremacy is overstated and overblown. Moreover, there are a considerable number of Shi'a in the gulf besides in Iran. 70% of Bahrain is Shi'a; 10% to 15% in Saudi Arabia [yes, there is discrimination and restrictions on Shi'a religious practices]; 16% in the UAE, etc. There are plenty of Shi'a in Pakistan and India. Shi'a still go to Mecca/Medina to perform the haj.

The Sunni make up 85% to 90% of Muslims. They have already won the battle of supremacy.

The idea that Obama is part of some plan to eradicate the shi'a is just plain fantasy. Or your ridiculous assertion that the Saudis hold nuclear tipped missiles. If that were ever the case, the Israelis would have already wiped them out. They certainly didn't tolerate the Chinese Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles that were brought in the late 1980s.

I don't believe Obama is a Muslim or a Christian. He sees religion as a means to an end. He is not a believer in anything except himself.
