Obama Reaches Out to the Muslim World (Obama reaches out to his own kind)

I ran into Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, one of American's Islam's foremost scholars, at the Presidential Prayer Service on Wednesday. His first words to me were, "This President is reaching out to us. It's good for the Muslim world to hear that."

Which reminds me. Besides stocking up on water, ammo, food, medical supplies, and the works, BUY LARD. Buy lots and lots of lard. Raise pigs in your front yard. They are not afraid of death, but they are averse to becoming defiled.

I was struck by his phrasing when he said this: “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers.”

He said “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims” ... with quite a pause right here. As though Christians and Muslims were the two major religions. It may have been snarky, but someone posted that 80% of his relatives are Muslim, so what do we expect from him.

Most households already have sausage and bacon as a staple, many also have a football or two.

Sounds like a good reason to help Harley Davidson out and go buy a hog.

Leftists would rather reach out to and break bread with radical muzzies than with conservative Americans.

Ms. McLeod, is that you??

Anytime is a good time to go out and buy a Harley. But, I was really thinking dirty pig thoughts. I am very un-pop-culture and need to be educated: So are all footballs made of pigskin and more importantly do muslims know that footballs are made of pigskin? If so, that does sound like a perfect non-lethal weapon because it is legal and “renewable” (the green people ought to like that aspect).

Plus a football wouldn’t go rancid like lard. You never know how long trouble will be visiting.
