Yesterday, on Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Obama family attended church for only the third time in a year. They went on foot to the St. John’s Episcopal Church situated across the Lafayette Park.
But what is widely not reported by the White House and the MSM is that on that particular Sunday in that particular church, Dr. Ziad Asali, M.D., a Muslim, founder and president of the American Task Force on Palestine, was the guest speaker. He was there to speak on the subject of “Prospects of the two-state solution in the Middle-East.”
According to the website of the American Task Force on Palestine, it is a “non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, DC.” The organization describes itself as “dedicated to advocating that it is in the American national interest to promote an end to the conflict in the Middle East through a negotiated agreement that provides for two states – Israel and Palestine – living side by side in peace and security.”
Dr. Ziad J. Asali is described as “a long-time activist on Middle East issues” who has testified to both chambers of Congress about Palestinian interests, increased U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority, and “Israel’s disproportionate use of force” in Gaza. A retired physician, Asali received his early medical training at the American University of Beirut. He previously served as President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and Chairman of the American Committee on Jerusalem (ACJ), which he also co-founded He also served as the President of the Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG).

I guar-an-tee...my pastor would not have let him speak in our Church. He might come there to listen but...no, no, he would not speak about Mohammed.
If I am not mistaken the Episcopal Churches are quite liberal. Here is a link to St John’s Episcopal Church.
They have forums and if you scroll down to I think it is May they will be doing a couple of them on Cuba.
The one Obama attended this Sunday continues next Sunday so I wonder if he will go then also or just went to see the guy who talked this Sunday.

“The forty year theory.”
Ibn Khaldun is famous in the world of studying Middle Eastern history as the author of “The Introduction,” (Al Muqaddimah). In this work, he outlines a cyclical theory of history, which comprises four phases:
1) Raw rise to power from a clan or nomadic group
2) Refinement of the reins of power
3) Apogee
4) Decadence and decline
The clannishness or “Asabiyyah” of a group progresses through “level(s) of civilization…(and is) strongest in the nomadic phase. Once the rise and fall occurs, “another more compelling Asabiyyah may take its place” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah).
The volumes contained in the actual history that “The Introduction” precedes is not only long, but also varied and expansive. In a nutshell, he ties time in terms of specific generations to the space those generations occupy. For example, the idea of a social contract is explained, as is a description of the tension between the power of the rural versus the city. “Ibn Khaldun conceived both a central social conflict (”town” versus “desert”) as well as a theory (using the concept of a “generation”) of the necessary loss of power of city conquerors coming from the desert” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah).
The length of each of the four power phases listed above is approximately one generation, or 40 years. That being said, we are witnessing waves of varying strength in the global conflict between Islam and the Western World that has existed since the breakout of Islamic military conquest in 711. Significant events in Western-Islamic tension have continued unabated. While these dates are not exactly 40 years apart, they nonetheless suggest that the conflict has never ceased, but, has simply permeated ever more deeply into the ethos of the peoples involved—beyond military capabilities to the citizenry. To wit, as evidence, please consider these dates:

The Spice Routes founded the circumvention of the Middle Eastern trade routes as assuredly as the oil routes have led to the same area. The market for trade goods has been and will continue to be the locus of control. It isn’t that the Crusades of 1095-1261 ended; they merely crossed over religious bounds to market control and, now, to cultural clash.

politics in church...hmmmmm
“Obama goes to church to hear a Muslim speaker!”
Did he go there to listen to himself?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
We have forces of evil all around us.
This person will not stop in his agendas even after he gets the boot.
God help us!
and Sally Quinn told BOR he went to church because American’s are bigots.. I sent BOR and email with this missing little fact.
well, that should make for interesting talk on Rush, et al tomorrow.
If Obama goes to the same church next Sunday, we will know he’s going there to hear this pro-Palestinian speaker.
And now we learn that the first time in months he attends a Christian church service was only because a Muslim was the guest speaker.
If Obama's staffers and the liberal media are so intent on denying Obama's Muslim faith, they sure are working overtime to ignore how Obama goes to extremes to cause continued controversy about it. In fact, Obama seems intent on continually flaunting his obvious devotion to Islam in the faces of Americans, as well as those who do his lying for him.
Obama is a walking SNAFU.
figures...
Well, isn’t that special?
