Obama’s Puzzling Approach to the Muslim World

President Barack Obama and I have one thing in common shared by few Americans: we were brought up by at least one parent — biological or step is irrelevant — who was born and raised in an Islamic milieu. Intimately aware of the inevitable effects of this, I must question Obama’s sincerity in his approach to the Islamic world.

While I was born and raised in the U.S., my parents were born and raised in Egypt. Even though they were Christians (Copts), it was only natural that they would adopt an “Islamicate” worldview, that is, a worldview based on Islamic culture and society, though obviously not Islamic dogma. As a result, while I share and appreciate the Western worldview, so too am I intimately acquainted with the Islamic world’s weltanschauung.

This is a worldview typified by cynicism and stoicism: a belief that humanity is intrinsically opportunistic, selfish, and warlike; that might not only makes right, but should; that those in the right do not apologize or appease, but rather assert; a survival-of-the-fittest mentality; and, above all, sheer contempt for perceived weakness and equivocation, or in Islamic parlance, emasculate behavior. Let’s call this a worldview based on “primordial politics.”

Raymond Ibrahim makes good points, but it is pretty obvious that Barack Hussein Obama, whith his Islamic background, Ivy League education and years as a politician that knew how to game the system and make it work for him sees the United States as a bad county, corrupt and unfair. Day by day, even to the apathetic, it becomes clearer and clearer that President Obama is determined to tear American down and remake it in the image of what he thinks it should be. Basically, like a third-world county, with much poverty, no military and definitely no pesky middle class. The population controlled by a government that is accountable to no one. Think Cuba.

I've long believed that Obama is very much in tune with Muslim views on most things. His overseas apologizing for America, bowing to the ersatz Saudi 'king' and his hard line on Israeli settlements , among other examples, demonstrates his Muslim-influenced worldview.

That is not good for America and surely not what most Americans want in their president. Too late now. Between Democrats stuffing the ballot boxes in 'open' primary states, a weak Republican presidential candidate (McCain) along with a Republican president that was reviled for so long by the media that a majority of Americans thought George W. Bush was a bad president, and of course the disgruntled Republicans that wanted to 'show' the national GOP how mad they were at them by not voting or voting for an independent presidential candidate, we got Obama. As I stated earlier: too late now.

I knew which direction the Obamunist would fly the moment I read the following:

Obama: Man of the World

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007 (New York Times)

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."
