Obama to skip 9/11 Ground Zero ceremony
americanthinker.com ^ | 9-7-10 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/07/2010 12:57:43 PM PDT by Justaham

President Obama will mark 9/11 at the Pentagon, as he did last year, rather than risk facing angry demonstrators at Ground Zero, where his convoluted remarks and walk back on the Ground Zero mosque might subject him to criticism "like a dog." So the families of the vast majority of 9/11 casualties will be stiff-armed by a thin-skinned commander in chief.

Not exactly a profile in courage.

“....in his mind, he thinks he's snubbing us.”

Yep, obama thinks he's giving us the invisible “finger.”

And WE know WE will be giving him the very visible “boot” right up his kazoo come election time.

What a dog.

Muhammad made strange and harsh statements about dogs and these edicts affect dogs in a tragic way. His teachings may have come from cultural bias, Pagan concepts, or his own imagination, but wherever they came from they led to the cruel treatment of dogs.

None of the statements regarding dogs are found in the Quran but they abound in the various collections of traditions (hadith). These traditions are a primary foundation of Islamic theology and are the basis of many Islamic laws. They render dogs as “impure” and worse. Per Muhammad’s orders most dogs were to be killed and all dogs of a specific color (black) had to be killed.

Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of God and as such his word was to be obeyed. With the teeth of Islam biting worldwide it is vital that Muhammad’s teachings be scrutinized to determine if he were a nut or a prophet.

STATEMENTS FROM THE HADITH

Below are a number of Hadith on various aspects involving dogs. All Hadith are from the Sahih collections of Bukhari[1] and Muslim[2], or the Sunan of Abu Dawud[3]. After the Quran, Bukhari’s set of Hadith are regarded to be the second most important books in Islam, followed closely by the Hadith of Muslim. I quote from these sources to prove that these Hadith are not just a few isolated or unsupported cases. I have sorted Muhammad’s statements concerning dogs into 5 categories. All of these illustrate different facets of his beliefs regarding dogs.

1) KILL THE DOGS

From Bukhari Vol. 4, #540

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.

http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/dogs.htm

We are, however, not allowed to keep a dog as a pet, since it is not a very clean animal. How often have you come across the nasty sight of dogs taken for a walk licking their own excrement? Isn’t it disgusting to see their owners kissing the mouth of such animals after such incidents as if nothing happened? Would you kiss the mouth of your own baby if he were to do the same? Think how many parasites and microbes may be hiding in their mouths.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has spared us from being contaminated by such filth when he ordered us to stay clear of the saliva of dogs. If we ever come into contact with a dog’s saliva we must wash the spot seven times, the first of which should be with sand or dirt. It is also possible to use a bacterial soap instead of sand or dirt.

In conclusion: Don’t contemplate taking a dog home as a pet. If, however, you do need to keep a dog for any of the reasons given above, then you may do so. But take every precaution not to have contact with its saliva, and also arrange for a separate living space.”

As a non-Muslim, I find this attitude shocking and hard to understand. I found this out about six months ago chatting with some Muslims on an international forum. Somehow the subject of dogs came up. What I heard from
them was that dogs are dirty, angels never enter a house with a dog, black dogs are evil, and Allah will penalize you for owning a dog.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/386396/why_do_muslims_dislike_dogs_distressing.html

we are instructed not to keep dogs as pets and ‘love’ them as exemplified by the non-Muslims. Remember our life is structured and bound by the Shariah i.e. The Noble Qurãn and the beautiful example of Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam). Consider these Ahaadith:

Sayyidna Abu Talha (Radhiyallaahu Ánhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, “Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or an animate picture. (Sahih Bukhari Hadith no. 2986)

Sayyidna Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallaahu Ánhuma) reports from Sayyidna Maimoona (Radhiyallaahu Ánha) that once Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam) became sad; and said that Jibra’eel (Álayhis Salaam) promised to meet him at night but did not turn up. “By Allah what has kept him back,” said the Prophet (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam). Then he realised a puppy was under his bed. He ordered that the puppy be removed and the area be sprinkled with water. In the afternoon when Jibra’eel (Álayhi Salaam) came, Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam) enquired as to the delay. Jibra’eel (Álayhi

Salaam) said that we, the group of Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or pictures. (Sahih Muslim Hadith no.3928)

In the light of these Ahaadith and other narrations it is not permissible to keep dogs as pets. The household is deprived of the Mercy of Allah Taãla.

” But he’s sending his bowser of a VP instead.”

Biden seemed really humbled to go to Arlington National Cemetery
this year on Memorial Day .
Biden described the wreath laying experience as the “ greatest honor of my life. “
Barry blew off Arlington for a vacation in Chicago.
He did a quick drive by at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery
between golf, basketball and ice cream.
It began to rain as Barry arrived and Barry quickly fled.
“Excuse me, everybody listen up,” Obama told the crowd.
Listen up ????
Does Barry think he’s addressing an MTV audience ?***
“...What we’d like to do is if possible have people move back to their cars
and if this passes in the next 15-20 minutes
I’ll stick around.”
Stick around ???
The Commander in Chief , presiding over the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars
( we set a record for US casualties under Barry in Afghanistan in 2009 ) ,
is only willing to “ stick around “ at a Veteran’s Cemetery
on Memorial Day for 20 minutes ???

***Barry often acts like he’s an MC at a hip hop MTV event.
Memorial Day he told people to “ listen up .”
When Muslim Hasan killed our soldiers at Ft Hood,
the first thing Barry
did was give a “ shout out “ to Dr Joe Medicine Crow and Barry botched that.
Dr Crow was not a Medal of Honor winner as Barry described him.
Yesterday in Wisconsin, Barry asked the crowd “ to give it up “ for local politicians
“ who were in the house.”
And tonight , Moochelle is having dancers “ bump and grind “ in the East Room.
Washington, Jefferson ,Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan must be spinning.

So our atheist president says no to The National Day of Prayer, no to Omaha Beach, no to Christmas, no to Arlington and now says No to Ground Zero on 9/11. Why doesn't he just say I hate America and everything it stands for? . . Words cannot convey. . .

Islam is Not a Religion!

Since the last frost in DC, Obama and Michelle have been on the move constantly. Obama seems incapable of addressing a group by closed circuit tv--he has to waste several hours in transit to get there and get back again. Then there are the fund raisers and vacations.

But for 9~11, he can only go as far as the Pentagon, he sends Michelle to Shanksville, and ships the gaffe meister Biden to GZ.

Imam Obama is not one of us.

Interesting — his choice of behavior seems consistent with one who might be considered a Marxist Muslim illegal alien.
