Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim?
No.
But there's a reason 24 percent of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim: Obama spends an inordinate amount of time stumping for Islam. Obama's not Muslim. But he proselytizes for Islamic goals and dreams like a member of the faithful.
He routinely cites his background to establish his Islamic bona fides with the Muslim world. "I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims," he told a Muslim audience in Cairo. "As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk. ... I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." This is language that falls short of embracing Islam as a believer, but is geared toward telling the Muslim world, "I am on your side." Acknowledging his Muslim parentage on Muslim soil, speaking of Islam's "revelation," talking about living in a Muslim country -- that sort of rhetoric has a purpose.
Obama's first interview after his election was with Al-Arabiya. In that interview, he proclaimed that the United States had to "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating." He then followed up this blatant pandering and pathetic apologetics with the explanation that his job was to "communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect."
In Cairo, Obama said his job as president of the United States is to "fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." That's certainly not the job of the president of the United States. It is not even the job of the most ardently tolerant Christian. Is it any wonder that so many people believe Obama to be an emissary of Islam?
Obama's bow to the Saudi king reinforced American perceptions that he was in bed with Islamism. American leaders do not bow before foreign leaders. Period. But not only did Obama bow, he specifically bowed to the leader of the Muslim country where Mecca lies. Then the White House ridiculously attempted to claim that the bow never happened in the first place.
Obama has consistently sided with Muslims against American allies. He has thrown Israel under the bus by requiring concessions on "settlements" even as he does nothing about Palestinian violence. He has endorsed the idea of a "contiguous" Palestinian state, which by definition would mean splitting Israel in half. He has barred Israel from taking action against Iran even as Iran goes nuclear. He has backed a UN resolution condemning Israel's nuclear weapons and ignoring Iran's. He has supported Raila Odinga, a radical Muslim politician in Kenya who has pledged to rewrite Kenya's Constitution to recognize Shariah as the only true law and establish Shariah courts in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. He has abandoned Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, an anti-Islamist in Bangladesh who has been imprisoned and prosecuted for supporting Israel's right to exist. He has endorsed the mosque two blocks from Ground Zero despite the fact that the imam of the proposed "bridge-building" mosque is a radical Islamist who refuses to condemn Hamas and believes that the United States is responsible for 9/11.
Obama administration officials also act as though they're members of the Saudi public relations staff. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that his "foremost" mission was to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan calls Jerusalem "al-Quds."
It bears repeating: Obama's not a Muslim. But there are only two possible reasons why he would draw himself this close to the Muslim world in speech and deed. First, he could be duping the Muslim world, keeping his friends close and his enemies closer. This seems utterly unlikely as his most sincere statements seem to come with regard to the Muslim world. Second, he could feel true kinship with the Muslim world based on his childhood experiences and his Marxist multiculturalism. This rings true.
For the last time: Obama's not a Muslim. He's a sellout to the radical Muslim world. If a swath of the American people mistakes a president who sells out to Islamism for a Muslim president, there's only one person to blame: Obama himself.
Very well put.
Though I do believe he MAY actually consciously, deliberately and ritually worship satan.
Look at his eyes in some photos.
until he comes out and says, “Jesus is the only way to the Father and heaven,” he is not a true Christian either.
I know many, many “liberal Christians” (oxymoron, I know) that won’t proclaim the exclusivity of salvation through Christ.
They have to twist themselves in knots, though, to try to avoid the idea that they are calling Jesus a liar in John 14:6.
Jesus showed us great GRACE by not giving us the option of saying “Jesus’ salvation AND something else” or that “Jesus was a good teacher but not the son of God”, etc.
By the way, the way that liberals are able to try to hold that they are “many ways to God” Christians is that they deny the divine inspiration of the Bible. They hold to this so tightly that they have “rescuing devices” for any proof that you offer for the divine inspiration.
They
ARE
doing their job--the job they were hired to do--massively help destroy this Republic with their propaganda, lies, traitorous spews. . . . owned, hired & directed by . . . these evil leaders over the last 110+ years . . .

And for some irrational, mystifying reason, even some very bright patriotic FREEPERS have only BEGUN to wake up to such facts . . . POST OTHUGA . . . and he's just the most publicly obvious, horrific, drunken-rhino-in-a-china-shop example of the lot . . . and a Johnny-come-lately, at that.
You mean veer off the DNC and Jounolist talking points? Us right wingers a real radicals aren't we?!
I've learned in my professional life to pick out the libs just by observing how the make decisions. You get someone that makes decisions with no data or analysis to support the decisions and 9 out of 10 times it's going to be a lib. I attribute the dearth of critical thinking and objective reporting in the media to a lack of critical thinking skills.
NAIL ON HEAD
I learned how to spot the radicals lefty’s quite easily.
It’s all bumper sticker slogans, no facts, no nothing but talking points.
When I ask them about a certain talking point they have made they just look dumb and have no answer.
Days later they would have been on some site like huff post and got an answer. They then come back to me with another talking point only for me to ask them another question.
Usually now I just ask them are they serious when they come out with those bumper sticker slogans and I pretend to be surprised .
I always now ask anyone which is rare who has a obama sticker if they still support him and if they say yes I act surprised and say really WOW.
The other sticker I see ios the co exist to which I tell them I like their sticker.
They say wow great thanks man.
To which I reply wouldn’t it be nice for the few bigots to actually let Christians say Christmas , Easter etc at school or have a Christmas tree at work.
their faces are a master card moment
LOL
Christian pluralists who share their faith universally can be called “idolators”. They simply worship themselves and in self-justification. Hell is a bad choice.
The pluralists, indeed, are driven by self-justification.
They feel good about themselves for being so tolerant and “non-judgemental”.
Feeling good about oneself is the primary motivation behind the whole liberal worldview.
There should be a REAL “Taqiyya for Dummies” book, so that those who want to be NEITHER useful idiots nor dhimmis can learn what they’re up against!!!!
As outreach to the Muslim world seems popular with the left these days, perhaps the American media should be engaged in outreach to the Muslim world to correct the perception that Obama is a Muslim.
If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck it for sure isn’t a Horse
It’s a LOYALTY issue, not a RELIGIOUS issue.”
It is also a LEGALITY issue- He isn’t qualified to even run for President if he was born in Kenya.
Secrets often come out and the holder of such secrets cannot stop the tide.
The truth about NObama & where he was born & his Foreign Aid status as a student will surface.
Then many people are going to very disappointed about their support for the imposter.
What freedom-loving, truth-telling, American-principle-honoring, non-collectivist, non-muslim-individual...OR...MAN....would EVER say that?
Wake up Ben.
Charmaine Eggers said she thinks he is a Buddhist with Muslm sympathies due to some of his pantheistic doodads and other stuff. I will try to find the link.
That article has been pulled from her blog, was unable to find the link.
