The mosque at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

This isn't easy to write. It's not fun to say. It's virtually unthinkable to realize and acknowledge.

While the controversy still rises and rages on, around the proposed "Cordoba House" mosque and Muslim cultural center right on the edge of Ground Zero, where the World Trade Center stood till Sept. 11, 2001 – there is a world-famous building, dedicated by its current residents to similar purposes, in the middle of Washington, D.C.

We call it the White House.

Some liberal, "change happy" Obamaphiles will instantly call me names for even thinking what I've just said, but I want you and any objective reader to look at the following facts. Then see if you can come to a different conclusion.

We are all, to a great or lesser degree, the inevitable product of how we were raised, what we were taught and experienced as children. Barack Hussein Obama was born to an 18-year-old Caucasian woman and a Kenyan father. Virtually all his early influences, including his biological father and his Indonesian stepfather, his mother and grandparents – were socialists, atheists, and/or Muslims.

He went to two schools in Indonesia as a young, impressionable boy. One was Catholic, the other Muslim. In both, he was identified as a Muslim, and in the latter he was of course indoctrinated in the Muslim faith. Other students and several teachers who remember him during that period say he was attentive, studious and better than average in his Muslim studies.

I don't know what religion he practices, as long as he does not bring it into the White House or into his decisions for America.

This is impossible for a human of any religion to do.

Nice work, Pat.

Clear, concise, and accurate.

If there was any doubt before, there is none now.

The mosque at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

The political equivalent of the suicide bomber at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He's blown the crap out of the economy, has lighted other fuses that are burning down, and is now relaxing on multiple vacations while waiting for the walls to come tumbling down.

You are still left wondering, however, Black Liberation Theology and Islam are joined at the hip. Which is what wrights church is, it is far from Christian.

Just as screwy Louie, who also frequented that so called church.

Honestly, I don’t see a pattern that fits the headline of this piece.

You could use the author's "logic" to say WND founder Joseph Farah is a Muslim.

Israel had better bomb Iran. Obama is in bed with the Saudis, so he likely won’t do anything before or after.

Maybe this guy should also open a gay bar for them next to Obama's mosque!

Watch for the grand opening - maybe free prayer rugs will be offered to all gay Muslim men! Put land mines in the prayer rugs and watch the prophets fly!

No, this is not a joke. In fact, it is instead one of the most brilliant pieces of provocations in recent years.Greg Gutfield from Fox News' Red Eye announced today via his blog that he is actively speaking to investors and plans on opening a gay bar next to the controversial mosque being built near Ground Zero in New York. To make matters worse (better?) the bar will be specifically designed to cater to homosexuals of the Islamic faith. God, this is going to be an exciting block. Here's Gutfield's entire post which he will expand upon during tonight's Red Eye:

"So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it's all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world.

As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque - after all, if they buy the land and they follow the law - who can stop them?

Which is, why, in the spirit of outreach, I've decided to do the same thing.

I'm announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space.

This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.

As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I'm building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.

The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps - but still want to dance. Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque. After all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.

My place, however, will have better music."

Did we ever figure out why the WH was shrouded in plastic a few days ago?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Every day my mind wanders to those questions you pose. I wish I knew the answer.

But I am completely dumbfounded!

One thing is certain about Obama and that is that he is fully committed to his way.

His mind is closed!

I don't know if it is conditioning or a product of his Islamic heritage or his Marxist training...or if he worships a different god (note the small 'g').

What ever it is...he will either be a blip in the history of our country or he will emerge as a great destructive force.

Which? I am not sure...but it is one or the other. There is no in between.

Honestly, your Supreme Royal Highness and Majesty of the Desert, it won't take very long once I am president.
I have to just keep the people thinking I am Christian long enough for you guys to establish Sharia Law centers.
Then, you can finish that contract with Bin Ladin's architectural firm to bulldoze all the Christian monuments.

One of the things that people don’t realize is just how easy it is to become, be considered, or stay a Muslim.

According to Islamic law, all one has to do as an adult is say the “Shahadah,” (in Arabic) “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.” and this is the “creed,” nothing else is required for entrance (and exist of course must be at death...either natural, or, by others, if you choose to leave Islam (”you can check out any time you like but, you can NEVER leave...”) Of course too, unlike in Judaism (where the Mother must be a Jew) a father’s child is automatically a Muslim, and no ceremony analogous to circumcision (as in Judaism) or baptism is required to automatically consider that child a Muslim. So as far as the Muslim world is concerned, Obama IS a Muslim...in spite of what he and his supporters say.

Another odd thing is that Obama claims to have become a Christian in the 1980s, while he was in his 20s. I’m exactly the same age as the President...and I recall major events (like girlfriends or job changes) from the ‘80s with ease. There is not date or record (or recollection) of a baptism—and even if Obama cannot recollect the date of his “conversion” ANYONE would remember going up front as an adult in Church to receive baptism.

All Christian denominations (except maybe Quakers) require baptism for Church membership. Since Obama’s mother was an atheist, and his father and step-father were Muslims, he was not baptised as a child...so if he actually became a Christian as an adult—he WOULD have been soon baptised—and no one has brought any evidence showing he has.
