Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

Posted on 08/13/2010 5:54:30 PM PDT by fabrizio

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

There is no Bible...and he could have used the Lincoln Bible AGAIN if it was that important to him.

If you had to do a redo..and you just had to have the Lincoln Bible the first time..wouldn’t you want it for the redo if it was a sentimental thing.

The stealth islamic invasion is going quite well don't you think?

Let's review: Ten years after 911, we have a muslim president in power, a mega mosque is being built on the graveyards of the infidel with a dedication set for Sept. 11, radicals and islamists are being installed into our government to further the cause of Islam, we now have a few muslim senators and lots of muslim 'shadow government' advisors and we are bending over backwards to not offend any muslim or they will take you to our courts when you do ( and all with Saudi money). Nice going.

Next come the riots... then sharia compliance... then YOU.

The Lincoln Bible was a mere prop for the public swearing-in. The public swearing-in did not go well, and he wanted a “do over.” I’ll bet in his mind he was kicking that Bible into the bushes.

“In the second photo, note that BO’s left arm is straight. His hand is not resting on anything: not a book, not a table, not anything.”

When swearing in, the Bible is no longer required. But a Christian, as Obama professed to be, would have taken the oath with his left hand on the Bible. I am confident it was available. But a muslim would not place his left hand on the Bible under any circumstance.

Obamination has moved quickly beyond worst president status to the spawn of the Devil that has pulled the wool over the eyes of America.

We did this to ourselves.

Why does Barack Hussein Obama spit on what God has provided man for salvation, yet glorify any system of thinking independent of what He has provided?

F’him and the camel he rode in on.

We know he is a Muslim—for him to “forcefully” support this just shows his Muslim and anti American world view.

We have to work to get a Republican House and Senate majority elected in November and to get this non natural born usurper removed form the White House.

Game on.

So let’s review.

Freemason to the left of the fireplace in 2008.

Put front and center for the swearing in.

12 days after being President, Freemason is no longer front and center above the fireplace.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/28966818#28966818

John Walsh interview in 2010. Freemason back front and center above fireplace.

Obambi sure likes that painting.

“Yes, the 9/11 attacks were horrific, but they were more about optics than actual harm,” wrote the diarist Something the Dog Said at Daily Kos. “The economy was already taking a hit before the Twin Towers fell. The reaction of the nation to seeing two major buildings in New York fall on T.V. has boosted the attack out of proportion. While the loss of even a single life is to be condemned and the devastation these deaths caused the families of those killed, more than this number of teens are killed every year in car crashes. These are also tragic losses but we do not make the kind of high profile issue of it that the 9/11 attacks are.”

AMazing! Equating the slaughter of 9/11 to “car crashes”!

WOuld he also have said that about Pearl Harbor where less human life was lost?

Today on Hannity’s radio show, he had a guest, whose name I could not grasp but he has been on TV and this man is a young man who has renounced Isalm, become Christian. He used to be a terrorist, and in his early days in the US with the goal of raising money for the terror groups, he began to see how different this world is from that in which he was born and taught to hate Jews just because they are Jews. The guy was born in Bethlehem to an American mother who was not allowed to leave..
He said that his family there knows this Iman who is trying to get this mosque built and that he is radical who believes in Shria and he said that Americans are not familiar with the Islamic proviso that permits lying to get to the goal and it is to be done in a gentle and polite way so as to effect the change in say a bloodless way. He went on to say that because the Progressives and the Ialmics think a like this will be easy to accomplish and America is in very dangerous waters right now. And that 0bams is NOT one of us at all.
Just look at the Muslims he puts in the WH and the greeting for Rhamadan. 0bama is NOT what he presents himself to be.
Does anyone know the name of this man? He lives under threat from the Islamics..he is a marked man. I have tried to google him and found another one who says the same sorts of things but is from Iran.

Is it Walid Shoebat? I read about him earlier today on FR.

Again sorry to get all religious on everyone, but I know I read some guy's prophesy about this happening... Muslims taking over NYC buildings everywhere, government complicit, like almost two years ago.

Y’know how kids used to say “epic!”...

Well this is epic -- as in Biblically Epic.

“Amazing list. I believe he is muslim but how does this fit in with his black liberation theology ties? I don’t get it.”

It wouldn't have been wise for a community agitator to be a Muslim in the open even then. So Obama signed up with the next best “religion” under Rev, Wright. He too HATES America. Who can forget his “god dam America” rant. Who can forget Rev. Wright’s obsession with being anti-white and anti-Jew?

Note how Rev. Wright is close to Louis Farrakhan.

“Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott; May 11, 1933) is the National Representative of the Nation of Islam. He is an advocate for black interests, and a critic of American society. Farrakhan has been both widely praised and criticized for his often controversial political views and rhetorical style. In 1996, he was awarded the Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights founded by Libya's de facto leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.”

...

Antisemitism
Many of Farrakhan's comments have been deemed antisemitic by the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith.[30] In 2007 at the Mosque Maram in Chicago Farrakhan fiercely declared, “Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET? They got BET. They got our hair product people. They got Motown. Everything that we built, THEY got it. But the mind of Satan now is running the record industry. Running the movie industry. Running television.”[31]

...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Farrakhan

Remember Obama was brought up in Indonesia. He attended a "radical" Madraas school in his formative years. Islam is like Christianity to one raised on Christianity. An aspiring politician can't be attached to something as crazy as Islam and expect to rise, so he must distance himself from it while still mainting his Islamic beliefs. He can do this through Black Liberation Theology.

BTW, not only did Obama attend the Million Man March put on by Louis Farrakhan he helped ORGANIZE it. It's all very incestuous from an evil stand point.

Skim or read through this:

Obama Marched with Farrakhan
Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 3:17:06 pm PDT

Lots of readers emailed about this one, an article from 1995 in the Chicago Reader that confirms Barack Obama did take part in Louis Farrakhan’s Million Man March—in his own words: Chicago Reader: What Makes Obama Run?
Obama took time off from attending campaign coffees to attend October’s Million Man March in Washington, D.C. His experiences there only reinforced his reasons for jumping into politics.

“What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society,” he said. “There was a profound sense that African-American men were ready to make a commitment to bring about change in our communities and lives.”

“But what was lacking among march organizers was a positive agenda, a coherent agenda for change. Without this agenda a lot of this energy is going to dissipate. Just as holding hands and singing ‘We shall overcome’ is not going to do it, exhorting youth to have pride in their race, give up drugs and crime, is not going to do it if we can’t find jobs and futures for the 50 percent of black youth who are unemployed, underemployed, and full of bitterness and rage.” …

“This doesn’t suggest that the need to look inward emphasized by the march isn’t important, and that these African-American tribal affinities aren’t legitimate. These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a ‘lock ‘em up, take no prisoners’ mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.”

“But cursing out white folks is not going to get the job done. Anti-Semitic and anti-Asian statements are not going to lift us up. We’ve got some hard nuts-and-bolts organizing and planning to do. We’ve got communities to build.”

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=29442_Obama_Marched_with_Farrakhan&only

You need to read the entire article. It's not that long and worth the few minutes it takes. You will see Obama’s bitterness and hatred towards whites and America. All of this is in common with Islam and Black Liberation Theology. Yes, it goes back to 1995. His own party thought he was a tad nuts. It was by accident that he became a Senator.

What Makes Obama Run?

Lawyer, teacher, philanthropist, and author Barack Obama doesn't need another career.
But he's entering politics to get back to his true passion—community organization.

Know why Islam is a “great religion”?

It's because it is Obama’s religion.

Obama Pronounces Islam A Great Religion
From his fellow defenders of the faith at the Associated Press:

Obama hosts dinner for Islamic holy month
By ANN SANNER (AP)

September 1, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation’s culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,” Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday’s daily fast.

The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called “a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress.”

Attendees included Congress’ two Muslim members — Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren…

Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the world’s Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: “America is not — and never will be — at war with Islam.”

Obama is not comfortable with white people. He is not at ease with white Europeans. No. He is only comfortable with more third world type countries, despots, and dictators. This is what he aspires to be - a dictator with Sharia Law as the Law of the Land. He has NO REGARD for our Constitution. He does an end run around Congress all the time through his czars. He's moving us to an Islamic type country where HE WILL RULE.

If you have some time, views this:

...One of the really horrible things about this mosque controversy, is that it is dredging up again the very real horror that many of us experienced on 9/11 and the days that followed.

That's what makes me want to scream. This mosque is like an act of terrorism all over again in New York. Only it's psychological and not physical. Come to think of it...Very similar to the AF1 flyover of Manhattan in 2009 that scared the H out of everyone who saw it.

They know exactly what they are doing and how it is effecting people.

Wicked, insensitive and shameless is what they are.

Do you SERIOUSLY believe this was just a “slip”?

OOPS! Obama Slips - Admits Muslim Faith

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2o2fKbLJc8&NR=1

Stephanoplois had to correct him! Obama would not have corrected that. Stephanoppolis had to interrupt him to quickly fix his fellow Democrat's admission of Muslim faith.

Seriously, if you want more, I want to accommodate you. E-mail me privately and I will list more than you can stand.

I've been watching this evil little boy. BTW, Kagan, his latest appointee is receptive to Sharia Law. Kagan and her linkage to advocating Sharia Law: ... That theme of Kagan’s conference was captured by Baber Johansen, acting Director of the Islamic Legal Studies Program, in his opening presentation on “The introduction of the ‘principles of the Islamic Shari’a’ as a source of the national legislation in the constitutions of major Muslim countries (1970-2008).” Johansen’s abstract states: “The introduction of constitutional amendments in the 1970s and 1980 that made “the principles of the Islamic Shari’a” a major or even the major source of national legislation has, on the one hand, given a new Islamic dimension to constitutional law, it has, on the other, raised the question of the relation between this amendment and the other articles of the constitution. Is the Islamizing amendment an article above or in the constitution? Do all other articles of the constitution have to be interpreted in its light or is the constitution one body in which the new amendment has to be interpreted in a way that guarantees the rights and freedoms protected by the constitution? In the last instance the question is how, if the Islamizing amendment is above the rest of the constitution, the constitution can guarantee its [ie the amendment's] status as being above the positive law and the constitution.” ... http://www.visiontoamerica.org/story/elena-kagan%E2%80%99s-work-to-make-constitutions-more-shariah-compliant.html Can you really believe this is some ODD COINCIDENCE?
