Twitchy headline says it all.
Context provided by Erick Erickson at Red State:
In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today the President of the United States declared that the future does not belong to practicing Christians. Already, the media and the left are in full denial, probably based on their general lack of understanding of theology. This would have been a gaffe had Mitt Romney said it. But with Barack Obama, he’s just speaking bold truths. His bold truth declares that the future does not belong to practicing Christians.
Pay careful attention to what he says:
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, and that is the vision we will support."
Now, that’s the full paragraph so no one can claim I took him out of context.
But consider this.
It is an orthodox Christian belief that Mohammed is not a prophet. Actual Christians, as opposed to many of the supposed Christians put up by the mainstream media, believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. Believing that is slandering Mohammed. That’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, you go into the MIddle East and proclaim Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and see what happens to your life.

I agree. I am sick of hearing Islam means peace. What happened on 9/11 was not peaceful. The Embassy attacks was not peaceful. What happened to Christopher Stevens and the marines was definitely not peaceful. The 5 hours that Obama does not want Americans to know about; FAR FROM PEACEFUL. Islam to me has always been about war and violence. It may have started a peaceful religion but today it is a political regime that stands for hate and death to all infidels.
That seems to obamalogic. His developement of a majority government subsidized underclass is paying off for him. He has truly cobbled together a Halloween coalition, and they may be perpetually in charge of this country. And this country cannot stand very long under a democracy and forfeit a Constitutional Republic.
Islam did NOT start as a peaceful religion.
Far from it.
Mohammad was a warlord, a pillager and plunderer. He created the Koran at a time of great need, he was losing the war badly. He needed a way to whip his troops into a frenzy before they abandoned him.
Afterwards they spread this faith BY THE SWORD, from the very beginning!!
Barack Obama has no right as a human being, even as the POTUS - telling any other person what they can or cannot say, think or write.
That’s where this is ultimately going. “Imagine there’s no Heaven...no hell below...above only sky...imagine no religion...”
He wants control and lots of it.
It was ever thus.
Self-censorship is the worst censorship of all.
By his own words, Obama has irrevocably proven that he is NOT a Christian.
I cannot prove Obama is a worshipper of Allah, but I can prove, by his actions, that he is, at the very least, a political Muslim and that he has an agenda he disguises by his words and brazenly pronounces by his actions that are ANATHEMA to any Constitution-loving, law-abiding citizen of our Republic.
By his actions (believe what he does, and the opposite of what he says), he aids and abets America's every enemy and embraces every degenerate belief opposite those values America has held dear since our forefathers landed on this continent---including the rule of Law.
Why is it so difficult for out conservative leaders, commentators, and journalists to name what we call such a person?
Well taken. But the word Islam means peace. I agree with you. Islam to me means violence. The Qur’an is a violent book. Mohammad was a violent prophet.
Homosexuality slanders islam. The future does not belong to them.
Anybody eating pork slanders islam. The future does not belong to them.
” Why is it so difficult for out conservative leaders, commentators, and journalists to name what we call such a person? “
I fear it boils down to black skin, and political correctness.
Job security, and cowardice.
Why does the President believe it is his job, as the representative of the United States (a secular government that is founded on christian principles but committed to keeping government out of religious doctrinal issues), to make an inherently religious proclamation about ANY prophet or religious figure?
Are we not allowed to oppose the teachings of Buddha?
Should Obama condemn the Muslims for falsely proclaiming that Avatar, the great one of the Hindu faith, is actually their Prophet?
Should Obama roundly attack all those who deny the deity of Christ, and therefore slander him?
At the very least, is Obama saying that the future should not belong to Madonna, who just endorsed him as the great black muslim in the white house? After all, she has slandered christianity repeatedly, and I believe muslims would consider it a slander to proclaim a professed Christian to be a faithful muslim.
I’m surprised Rush hasn’t addressed this yet...still hung up on football...
This is the kind of rhetoric from our leaders that does not bode well for the US. Here we are, an imperfect nation but founded on Christian principles with a great history of loyalty to scripture who now openly mocks God with our abortions, pornography, greed, idol worship and now a false God.
It is like we have a death wish. It becomes more apparent every day that ideas of the The Harbinger are so right on the money. The Babylon of Revelations is looking like the US more and more ... it is not difficult to see where that leads.

from Elena Kagan's Shariah Red Flag
..Worse yet, Dean Kagan had an even more direct connection to the Saudis' Shariah-recruitment efforts at Harvard. She personally officiated in 2003 over the establishment of an "Islamic Finance Project" at the law school itself.
The Project's purpose is to promote what is better known as "Shariah-Compliant Finance" (SCF) by enlisting in its service some of the nation's most promising law students.
