Foes of the global jihad are constantly accused of quoting the Qur'an "out of context," but when Barack Obama actually did so in Cairo yesterday, no one seems to have minded.
He quoted one Qur'an verse in connection with speaking of our shared interests as human beings:
As the Holy Koran tells us, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth." That is what I will try to do to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.
Ironically, the Qur'anic passage from which his quote comes actually is about fighting unbelievers, and doesn't remotely lead to thoughts of coming together with people with whom one has differences.
Obama quoted 9:119, which Pickthall renders this way: "O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful."
The passage continues:
It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those around them of the wandering Arabs to stay behind the messenger of Allah and prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step they any step that angereth the disbelievers, nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a good deed is recorded for them therefor. Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good. Nor spend they any spending, small or great, nor do they cross a valley, but it is recorded for them, that Allah may repay them the best of what they used to do. And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that they may beware. O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him). -- 9:120-123 In that passage, the Qur'an is scolding Muslims who refused to accompany Muhammad on his expedition to Tabouk in northern Arabia, where he wanted to fight a Byzantine garrison. The Byzantines weren't there when he arrived, and so there was no battle, but he was considerably angered that some Muslims in Medina and among the Bedouins ("wandering Arabs") had refused to make the trip -- they "prefer[red] their lives to his life." The Qur'an promises that if they do anything that "angereth the disbelievers," they will be credited with having done a good deed, and Allah will repay them for such good deeds. The Muslims should fight the unbelievers and be harsh with them.
Obama picked out of this one sentence that made it appear as if the Qur'an was simply counseling one to speak the truth, mindful of the divine presence. In reality, the passage is about the necessity to wage jihad warfare against unbelievers, and not to fail to perform this duty. He took a passage about warfare and division and passed it off as part of a call for us all to come together and sing kumbaya.
Yet neither Honest Ibe Hooper of CAIR nor any other Muslim spokesman is complaining today that Obama quoted the Qur'an out of context. How strange!

He brags about understanding the culture, and jihad is what they do.
I never thought of it like that but it sure looks that way.
There should be an InTrade bet on when Barack Huseein Obama will re-convert to Islam.
OSAMA BIN LADEN
In his famous Fatwa issued in August 1996, Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places, Osama Bin Laden is disturbed by the fact that Muslims are being persecuted by the Zionists-Crusaders alliance led by the United States of America. Osama gives references to the following Quranic verses emphasizing the duty of human beings to the Creator and stressing the importance of restraining oppressors. These are:
? O you who believe! Be careful of-your duty to-Allah with the proper care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslim. (3:102)
? O you who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah and speak the right word; He will put your deeds into a right state for you, and forgive you your faults; and who ever obeys Allah and his Apostle, he indeed achieve a mighty success. (33:70-71)
? You are the best of the nations raised up for the benefit of men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah. (3:110)
? The Prophet (sws) said: The people are close to an all encompassing punishment from Allah if they see the oppressor and fail to restrain him.
>So, does this actually mean 0 made a subliminal call for Jihad in front of the world with his Muslim Brothers in attendance?<
Maybe.
Does anyone have the Red and Blue Obama poster with the various b.s. phrases below such as ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’? It’s time for all of us to start posting that same picture all over the US, just make flyers, that say ‘Usurper’ or ‘Quisling’ or ‘Kenyan’ or ‘Traitor’. Just start taping them to stop signs all over the place. Or bumper stickers that say ‘Obama’, then stick them just below the ‘STOP’ on a stop sign. The Devil hates to be mocked. If anyone has the artwork, please Freepmail it to me. Thanks.
I thought this was interesting:
Muslims are warned not to fight amongst themselves:
“Under such circumstances, to push the enemy-the greatest Kufr- out of the country is a prime duty. No other duty after Belief is more important than the duty of had. Utmost effort should be made to prepare and instigate the Ummah against the enemy, the American-Israeli alliance - occupying the country of the two Holy Places and the route of the Apostle (sws) to the Furthest Mosque (Al-Aqsa Mosque). Also to remind the Muslims not to be engaged in an internal war among themselves, as that will have grieve consequences namely:
? consumption of the Muslims human resources as most casualties and fatalities will be among the Muslims people.
? Exhaustion of the economic and financial resources.
? Destruction of the country infrastructures
? Dissociation of the society
? Destruction of the oil industries. The presence of the USA Crusader military forces on land, sea and air of the states of the Islamic Gulf is the greatest danger threatening the largest oil reserve in the world. The existence of these forces in the area will provoke the people of the country and induces aggression on their religion, feelings and prides and push them to take up armed struggle against the invaders occupying the land; therefore spread of the fighting in the region will expose the oil wealth to the danger of being burned up. The economic interests of the States of the Gulf and the land of the two Holy Places will be damaged and even a greater damage will be caused to the economy of the world. I would like here to alert my brothers, the Mujahideen, the sons of the nation, to protect this (oil) wealth and not to include it in the battle as it is a great Islamic wealth and a large economical power essential for the soon to be established Islamic state, by Allah’s Permission and Grace. We also warn the aggressors, the USA, against burning this Islamic wealth (a crime which they may commit in order to prevent it, at the end of the war, from falling in the hands of its legitimate owners and to cause economic damages to the competitors of the USA in Europe or the Far East, particularly Japan which is the major consumer of the oil of the region).
? Division of the land of the two Holy Places, and annexing of the northerly part of it by Israel. Dividing the land of the two Holy Places is an essential demand of the Zionist-Crusader alliance. The existence of such a large country with its huge resources under the leadership of the forthcoming Islamic State, by Allah’s Grace, represent a serious danger to the very existence of the Zionist state in Palestine. The Nobel Ka’ba, -the Qiblah of all Muslims- makes the land of the two Holy Places a symbol for the unity of the Islamic world. Moreover, the presence of the world largest oil reserve makes the land of the two Holy Places an important economical power in the Islamic world. The sons of the two Holy Places are directly related to the life style (Seerah) of their forefathers, the companions, may Allah be pleased with them. They consider the Seerah of their forefathers as a source and an example for re-establishing the greatness of this Ummah and to raise the word of Allah again. Furthermore the presence of a population of fighters in the south of Yemen, fighting in the cause of Allah, is a strategic threat to the Zionist-Crusader alliance in the area. The Prophet (sws) said: (around twelve thousands will emerge from Aden/Abian helping -the cause of- Allah and His messenger, they are the best, in the time, between me and them) narrated by Ahmad with a correct trustworthy reference.
? An internal war is a great mistake, no matter what reasons are there for it. the presence of the occupier-the USA- forces will control the outcome of the battle for the benefit of the international Kufr.”
Remember how we took the fight over there after 9/11?
Maybe Millstone is taking their fight over here.
? consumption of the Muslims human resources as most casualties and fatalities will be among the Muslims people.
(Not if the fight is over here)
? Exhaustion of the economic and financial resources.
(in progress)
? Destruction of the country infrastructures
(in progress)
? Dissociation of the society
(in progress)
? Destruction of the oil industries.

Al Qaeda’s inside man at 1600 is their greatest weapon.
They must be laughing at America right now, because so many people were stupid enough to put him there.
. He took a passage about warfare and division and passed it off as part of a call for us all to come together and sing kumbaya.

Was that really a mistake or did he know exactly what he was doing?
Somthing very Bolshevik about that checklist. Probably prepared by Al-Zawahiri.
I’m sure he knew exactly what he was doing.
What does your gut tell you?
It isn’t a ‘holy’ Koran unless you are a muslim, Barack.
Why don’t you stop pussyfooting around and just tell the American people the truth about who you really are?
The man behind the curtain feeding the teleprompter is to blame. That One knows nothing, he’s a puppet. If you watched the video where he tries to answer a reporters question on NK, (without a tp) it’s clear he knows nothing.
My first reaction too, but it's probably not correct. Some infidel almost certainly wrote the speech for Obama. Obama just delivers the speech. (This seems to be his only specialty.) The infidel probably did a search for peaceful sounding quotes from the Koran and picked this one to throw into the speech.
ML/NJ
Yeah. I agree 100%. I believe there were way too many shenanigans going on this time. Too many dead, unreal, and voters who said they didn't even vote.
I believe people can sense things, and I think people know something dirty happened (and is still happening). Maybe that's why so many are arming themselves who never would have, or why so many are preparing for the worst even though they can't explain why they feel they should have to.
“Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
This is where I part ways with the Zero. I lived in the Middle East, not far from a minaret where the call to prayer was blurted out five tmes a day. Unlike BO, I thought it a most DEpressive and Oppressive sound, especially when I thought about Muslim women and children, who are practically enslaved. There is NOTHING about Islam that is peaceful and uplifting. It is simply a self-serving system established by a lustful pedophile.
