Ayoon wa Azan (A New Phenomenon in American Politics) - Moslem endorsement of Obama
Dar Al Hayat ^ | 08.03.08 | Jihad el Khazen

Posted on 08/03/2008 1:49:54 PM PDT by Perdogg

Arabs and Muslims support Barak Hussein Obama for Presidency of the United States after George Bush. He will certainly be better than that ignorant fool who was appointed president the first time, and stole the presidency the second time. I claim that I, or any of my readers, am a better president for the US than the current president.

For any successor to George Bush in the White House to be better than him "goes without saying". However, I cannot yet assert that Arabs and Muslims will not be disappointed with the new president, as they were with the current president.

If I focus on Obama, it is because every poll of American public opinion has shown him to be clearly ahead of John McCain among voters. It is also because the presumptive Republican candidate wants to be a "war president", and I am against all wars. I am also writing with Obama's foreign tour and its implications in mind.

I can judge Obama based on the kind of people who judge or oppose him. They are all neoconservatives, enemies of Arabs and Muslims, and pro-Israelis, who remain hostile to Obama despite his efforts to surpass Bush and McCain in supporting Israel.

Out of a thousand, I have two examples to reassure Arabs and Muslims that their opinion of Obama is correct. Senator Joe Lieberman, who is Israeli before being American, supports McCain and follows him like his shadow, which means that Obama is preferable to his opponent in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Zionist British journalist Melanie Philips attacks him constantly, as she cannot stand the thought of a black man with a Muslim background. These two stances are enough for me to endorse Obama.

Here I would like to point out a new phenomenon in American politics, which began with George Bush's first electoral campaign and increased with the second. It is to turn the truth upside down, to lie utterly and completely, whereas the customary method had been only to distort the truth, to exaggerate or conceal some of the facts. The accusation seems to be that Obama is changing his positions, although Bush and McCain are the ones who changed their positions and followed Obama in calling for a scheduled withdrawal from Iraq and negotiations with Iran. This echoes the boundless insolence of the war gang, as seen in the 2004 presidential election. George Bush fled danger in Vietnam to serve in Texas, while his rival, John Kerry, fought in Vietnam and received medals for his bravery. In spite of this, there were members of the military during the campaign who voiced doubts about Kerry's military conduct, in such a way as to turn the truth into a groundless myth. Thus a new word or expression, referring to shameless lying, was introduced into the English language: "swift boating".

Personally, I do not find it sufficient that pro-Israelis and the war gang oppose Obama for me to support him, as some of his positions are worrying. I will just state the following:

- As he is accused of being anti-Israeli, Obama takes advantage of every occasion - and sometimes does not even wait for one - to surpass everyone in supporting Israel. Examples of this are his discourse about Jerusalem and about Israel's right to defend itself. When he visited Israel during his recent foreign tour, he met with Olmert, Barak, Netanyahu and Peretz. He flew in a helicopter over the Israeli borders with Palestine and visited the Holocaust Museum. Overall, he spent 36 hours in Israel, and only 45 minutes of them meeting President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, which reflects the extent of his interest in this side and that.

- Obama's call for a gradual US military withdrawal from Iraq, one adopted by Bush, McCain and Nouri Al-Maliki, is welcome. However, the second part of it is dangerous: he wants to withdraw from Iraq to focus on Afghanistan, under the pretext of fighting terrorism. He specifically wants to send two more US contingents, or about ten thousand US troops, to be added to the thirty-six thousand soldiers already stationed there. He has also called for other NATO members to increase the number of their troops in Afghanistan.

The war against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban cannot stop at the borders of Afghanistan, but will also include Pakistan. Personally, I fear the "alternative" scenario there, which would be represented, in Pakistan, by a military coup that would bring to power Islamist members of the military who support Al-Qaeda, in a country that holds nuclear weapons. Obama himself warned of the dangers in Pakistan. However, he does not seem to realize the extent to which such dangers will increase if the fighting area in Afghanistan is expanded. Furthermore, he evidently has not read the confessions of members of the US military in Afghanistan, testifying that the war has regressed (the Los Angeles Times, July 27, 2008).

- Obama has called for negotiations with Iran, and he is now warning of the danger of Iran's nuclear program and inviting Tehran to accept European incentives. I say to him that Iran will continue to enrich uranium, no matter what it says or does temporarily. He must deal with the situation as it is, not as he wants it to be.

Finally, among Obama's foreign policy advisors are some of the most prominent figures of the Bill Clinton administration. They are much better than those of the Bush administration. Nevertheless, they have tried and failed. One would hope that the presumptive Democratic candidate would move away from past failures and demand new ideas for a changing situation.

Which polls are those, towel-head? Fake ones that originate in your little sand-hell? Ones that query strictly Tired Old Media "Journalists"?

Gimme a break. Like all Muslims about their savage "religion", this idiot's in perpetual denial about Obama's "lead"...

“I am against all wars”

Of course, he doesn’t consider slaying those “jew monkeys and dogs” or “infidels” or any who are not of his idealology a war—it is simply a slaughter of non persons for his moon god allah and pedophile idol, mohammed.

Boy have these guys got a long way to go.
The writer seems real pleased with himself for
trotting out every cliche and half-baked crumb of rhetoric we’ve been hearing for the last decade, as if it’s being said for the first time, and as if it’s never been countered, or answered. Nothing more maddening than that.

The muzzie reportard isn't just evil but dumb like dirt. Now Obama becomes the originator of the plan Bush laid out in 2005 already.

So long as “Jihad el Khazen” is busy writing brain diarrhea like this, his harem of goats can get some rest.

GOP would be wise to advertise the Muslim endorsement of Osama Obama on national TV along with films of 9/11 in the background. Americans need to wake up, realize the Muslim Messiah spells disaster for all of us.

This author shows us why “peace in the Middle East” is a virtual impossibility. This man is one of the less incendiary, reasonable authors. A view of MEMRI’s website (the Middle East Media Research Institute) will show far, far worse cases on video (including the Jew hating rabbit for children’s TV).

But this author, mellow as he is in comparison, ignores facts, makes facts up, and is illogical. I wonder what he has to say about Israel’s right to exist. I have a strong suspicion, but it is not worth looking up. I look forward to seeing him seethe.

If this Arab jackass didn’t exist, McCain would be doing well to invent him. Note that his given name is “Jihad,” which is simply surreal.

& this is your average “moderate” Arab.

Jihad is not one of the most popular names, but it’s not that unusual of a name either.
