Having said that, as a soldier in Iraq, you know full well then that there is a large, very violent, very fundamental group of Islamics who are waging Jihad. They are not operating in a vacuum and they follow very literally what the Prophet taught in the Koran.
I thank God for the Muslims who eskew that, and we know many tens of thosuands of Iraqis are dying fighting the same enemy we have. But we dare not let up, or even look like we are turning tail in the face of these others or they will sieze the moment and our job will become monumentally harder. Yet this is precisely what Obama would have had us do.
As to this election...this particular issue is not necessarly if Obama is a Muslim at all...it is the fact that he and his campaign are deceiving and lying about his own upbringing and background. His own site says he never studied it or was raised in it...yet in Indonesia it is now fairly demonstrable that he was. Why lie about that?
...and if he will lie about something as intrinsic as that, what else will he lie about and cover over?
When you add that basic issue to the mix of his willful associations of longstanding with the most left leaning, hate-filled associations that he has had, one inparticular an unrepentant domestic terrorist, all kinds of red flags go up...and well they should.
Finally, on top of all of that are his positions...and I am not talking about the positions that he changes almost on a daily basis now during the campaign. That's politics and he is trying to make himself appealing to as many as he can...I am talking about his voting record in the IL and US Senates when it counted. That is where he willend up governing from and that record is the most left leaning, socialist...even marxist...record in the Senate.
