The nation’s first serious black candidate for president should be outraged that al-Qaida would try to exploit African-Americans for the terror cause

That's 'cause he agrees with the premise that blacks need to rise up against their white American oppressors. Naturally, he's not outraged. Nice, huh?

I think he just forgot about the hand-over-the-heart practice in the flag picture.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Ahhhhh, sorry folks, I am sorry to announce in this state of the union address that I forgot to defend our nation in Panama. As a result of my "forgetting," Panama is now in the hands of Al Quaeda and control of the canal zone is in the hands of Allah Assinine Uppayoures."

Obama is in the big game now, he "forgets" he pays the price, even if he is cute and women like his natural Hitler effect he has on crowds.

The madrassa story was discredited more than a year ago.

Obama is simply following this advice from "Ask the Imam?"

Question: Could we sing national anthem and say the plegde of allegience to the secular state while the flag is being raised up?

Answer: As Muslims, our pledge of allegiance is only to Allah and His Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). However, as Muslims in a non-Muslim state, we are obliged to follow the laws of the country which are not contrary to Shari’ah.

The allegiance of pledge by singing the national anthem of a secular state which has many un-Islamic laws, for example, legalising homosexuality, lesbianism, pornography, etc. is not permissible.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
Was salaam
Mufti Ebrahim Desai


Or this?

Question: Should I stand up for the national anthem? Should I stand up when a judge enters the court and everyone is ordered to stand up?

Answer: 1. No.

2. It is not necessary to stand up, you should not do so.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Indonesia is a muslim country. Madrassa is a common term for islamic schools there. Especially since many of them are built with arab money. Just like they are in Pakistan and elsewhere that the term is used.

That was the point of my clarification. Madrassa refers to a religous school as opposed to a strictly secular school.

Oh, I did understand you (I think). I was just adding that in a non-Arabic speaking Muslim country such as Indonesia, madrasah (Arabic word) only refers to Islaamic schools & the Indonesian word sekolah to normal schools, so Obama is being disingenuous.
