Obama Name Games Painful to Muslims

So while anti-Semitism is certainly not a relic of the past, anti-Muslim sentiment is at an alarmingly high rate right now in America, and because of that it's used as a political tool against politicians.

A "relic of the past"? As opposed to a "relic of the future"?

Would Americans have elected someone named Heinrich during WWII?

Something is always “painful to muslims”. I’ve stopped caring long ago.

Obama says he believes American voters are smarter than some give them credit for

Hmmm, since he considers middle Americans to be gun worshiping, racist that cling to their churches out desperation, you have to wonder just which Americans B. Hussein is referring too.

I do not know just how one would determine the religion of Barak Hussein Obama. To me it seeme that he would not fit in anywhere, so let him say what he will, but I do not think any devout Christian could have Jeremiah Wright as a friend or mentor. But then when you take a good look, all of his “friends” are anti-american or criminals. Birds of a feather, do flock together. Then when you add to this, the fact that Obama does not want to wear a flag pin, this oes definitely tell a complete story.

There are other examples. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa, speaking on a local radio station last month, said: “I will tell you, if he is elected president then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida and the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11th.”

Dear NPR and Jamie Tarabay: HAMAS has come out FOR Obama. Can you tell me, what exactly is wrong about Steve King’s prediction? The only way we’ll know for sure is to elect He-who-must-not-be-middle-named and watch what Islamists, al Qaeda and their supporters do. HAMAS is already on board.

Nevertheless, he’s a devout Christian.

I've yet to read or hear any convincing proof of that. Usama Dakdok has witnesses who confirm that the Trinity United Church of Christ doesn't require Muslims to give up Islam to become members of of TUCC.

No quote I've heard or read of BHO's begins to suggest to me that he has in any way been sprinkled with, let alone steeped in, Christian doctrine.

Reporting in — one of the 65% who ARE prejudiced against Muslims. “By their fruits ye shall know them.”

"Last month on 60 Minutes, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama's Democratic opponent, was asked about whether she believes he is a Muslim. "No, no. Why would I?" she said. "There is nothing to base that on, as far as I know."

Illuminati disruption agent Stephen Colbert asks:"Is Barack Obama a secret muslim?"

"Stephen Colbert tells us how the Democratic Party is destroying itself with name-calling and rumors; McCain is partying; and tries to find out if Obama is a Muslim. Stephen Colbert examines the facts and comes up with a yes anyway."

a devout Christian, who's been going to the same church for the last 20 years," Obama said...

but does he cling to it and is he bitter about it?

[Veto!]

but does he cling to it and is he bitter about it?

LOL.

Over at al Jazeera, US Muslims call on (their savior) Obama for change: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/96760D5C-448D-46A0-BB99-91D3A2546AA9.htm

That article you referenced needs posted here on FR for informational purposes. If not you, let me know and I will. Thanks.

[Veto!]

Yes, I’d be happy if you’d post it. I’m just leaving the house and won’t have time.

It’s always interesting to read al Jazeera’s take on the issues.

[OB1kNOb]

Will do. Thanks.
