Obama was in Chicago during Christmas 2007 ("I'm no Muslim")

DAILY NEWS ^ | Sunday, December 23rd 2007 | MICHAEL SAUL

A day before he will fly back to Chicago to spend Christmas with his family, a voter asked Barack Obama to explain his "Muslim background" - an Internet-fed fallacy that continues to dog his campaign.

Obama is scary—He would be worse than Hillary. If McCain can’t beat her with all the baggage she has and all of the wounds she has been inflicted with, and the loss of the black vote (if she beats Obambi) He deserves to lose. Hillary will be a tough race and a dirty one but I will put my money on McCain any day.

In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, 2007, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.

I assume Maya thinks of Barack as a member of her family -- ergo?

I would also assume Maya thinks of her mother, Anna, as a member of her family, hmmmmmmmmmm?

I believe you are incorrect - - Obama is far more dangerous than Hillary.

Muslim Americans for Obama '08' features the masthead comment, "DONATE TODAY: One $1 DOLLAR for ONE NATION UNDER GOD"br>
In case there is any doubt as to which "God" these folks are speaking of, the first two paragraphs make it abundantly clear.

With God's Name ~ Quran 49:13 Oh Mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. The best of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Allah is the best knower, aware.

As Salaam Alaikum, (The Peace of God Be Upon You) and welcome to Muslim Americans for Obama'08.

“Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer and has denounced Obama’s colleagues in the U.S. Senate who happen to be Jewish.

On the blog, which is attached to BarackObama.com, viewers can read about “the Senate pro-Israeli zionist hawk Joe Lieberman,”

Further troubling are the following “Issues & Solutions” on the site:

-- Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
 
-- Make the 2 Eid’s recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.

-- Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

On the right side of the website’s homepage is a link to Aswat Al-Islam, a radical Islamic multimedia outlet.  Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 lists it as "Quran (Audio) English Translation."

There is a link, under "Resources" on the first page that directs the reader to a Wikipedia definition of "Who is a Muslim."  Some extracts are:

"The Qur'an describes as Muslims many Biblical prophets and messengers: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses (Arabic: Musa) and Jesus (Arabic: Isa) and his apostles."

In Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus’ disciples tell Jesus: "do thou bear witness that we are Muslims".

This clergyman is good — I have a couple more of his videos on my site.

[no dems]

She is evil personified.

With that, I have to agree 100%

[Beckwith]

Obama is a more committed Marxist.

Obama’s mother was an American-hater, who once said, more than once, to Lolo, her second husband, “They [Americans] are not my people.”

Obama was heavily influenced by Frank Marshall Davis, a communist, who was in his home all through his teenage years.

At Occidental College, he wrote, “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

At Columbia, he went to the Marxist-Socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives until they worried he'd become “one of those freaks you see on the streets around here.”

In Chicago, some white leftists were looking for someone who could recruit in a black neighborhood in the south side of Chicago and Obama answered a help-wanted ad for a position as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago. Obama was 24 years old, unmarried, and according to his memoir, searching for a genuine African-American community.

Both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the Alinsky model of community agitation, wherein paid organizers learned how to “rub raw the sores of discontent,” in Alinsky’s words. Hillary isn't the only Alinskyite.

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an interviewer of The New Republic, about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease.

In these methods, euphemistically labeled “community organizing,” Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.

For those unfamiliar with Saul Alinsky, his writings on radicalism and social change will chill the bones of not only conservatives, but more moderate liberals:

“Any revolutionary CHANGE must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward CHANGE among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and CHANGE the future.”

“This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families –- more than seventy million people -– whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971].”

And what word comes out of Obama’s mouth the most — why, CHANGE!

Then, there is his close relationship with the left-wing terrorists, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Obama is further left and a deeper committed Marxist than Hillary.

Then, there is his symapthetic mindset towards Muslims, saying, “In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

I respect your opinion, but you're just wrong on this one.

Obama is the more dangerous of the two.

Very possible scenario.
I like your tag line!

Words matter, Ideology matters, This is Wrights standard, his black values system of the church, Obama cannot deny it, he supports it, he attends it, Is he trying to suggest that he did not know that Mr. Wright felt this way? after 20 years in the mans church, after having his kids babtized by his close friend Mr. Wright, come on it would take a willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Obama did not know about the hate Whitey, hate America, attitude of his close friend and spiritual advisor Mr. Wright. DOes Obama think America is that stupid... hmmm maybe he thinks his Hypnosis is deep enough and that Yes We can, will trump G.D. America...

The link in your post 14 does not appear to prove that he did or did not attend Wright’s Christmas sermon.

.."In the 16 years since Mr. Obama returned to Chicago from Harvard, Mr. Wright has presided over his wedding ceremony, baptized his two daughters and dedicated his house, while Mr. Obama has often spoken at Trinity's panels and debates. Though the Obamas drop in on other congregations, they treat Trinity as their spiritual home, attending services frequently. The church's Afrocentric focus makes Mr. Obama a figure of particular authenticity there, because he has the African connections so many members have searched for.

My brother-in-law is a Muslim in name only

Well duh....

Strict followers of Islam do not wear gold or silk (men), they do not drink, they do not eat pork or other animals and the animals must be slaughtered a certain way, they do not gamble, they do not collect interest or pay interest on money borrowed or loaned, they do not buy insurance, they do not masturbate, no tattoos, statutes in the house or making statutes is prohibited, pictures or drawings of animate things are prohibited, no dogs can be kept as pets, no growing of crops like hashish or tobacco, etc, etc.

Read more here.

Basically, the followers of Islam give up their brains to the so-called "religion".

Osama Hussein (hussein means litle handsome) Obama was taught Islam as a small boy. He was being taught to memorize the quran in an islamic school. That makes him a muslim in the eyes of islam and because he has (supposedly) rejected islam he is an apostate and can be killed under islamic law.

You can learn all these things on the internet. I did on 9/12. islam is anti-freedom, it is anti-free thought, anti-free speech, anti-self determination and anti-American because at it's core it is opposite of what this country was founded on and is all about. islam's purpose and goal is to be the only "religion" and only "government" on the planet. Only the freedoms islam permits would be the freedoms you would have if islam has its way. You kneel or you die.

The Europeans have already learned these things the hard way. As far as I'm concerned if people wwant to follow islam, broadcast prayers over loud speakers, have mosques that is fine. Just not in the US. Am I being radical? I don't think so, they wrote their goals and plans out and have made them well known. Count me out. I want to stay a free man in a free country.

Agreed. Let the Dims eat their own. Even the Slimes is talking about the uncertainty and confusion within the party.

I’ve seen this Falsani article before.

It’s quite lengthy nad you’ll notice that there is no mention of a baptism.

[TornadoAlley3]

this 4/07 article says he was baptized

[toddlintown]

There will be rioting in the big northern cities as Obama is brought down by “The Man.” Sharpton’s already making allusions to this. Might even wake up the white liberal zombies who think he walks on water.

There will be riots...and the law & border candidate will take it all.

[jim35]

Hillary's people will find it, if no one else can.

[jim35]

You seriously believe Hillary is the more difficult candidate to beat? Based on what?

From what I’ve seen, B. Hussein is the more popular candidate, and the Beast has the higher negatives.

If she beats him based on his negatives, rather than on new positives for her, it should make the Republican candidates run a little easier.

But who knows? It’s all speculation right now.
