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.

The inspiration for this speech likely came from his latest appearance on The View.
What an ignorant a-hole. Nobody in the US slandered Muslims prior to their attacks on our interests any more than the Brits and citizens of other Allied countries slandered Germans prior to the World Wars. What leftists in general and black people in particular fail to understand is that Americans are incredibly tolerant of people who carry their own weight and don’t inappropriately impose their will on others. The Marxist gets it all wrong by implying our resentment begins in a vacuum.
Some differences can't be reconciled. They can only be tolerated with a live and let live philosophy. And that is the philosophy most Americans have always followed. But pretending that such differences can be a strength is a lot of fanciful nonsense, and can be dangerous.
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” - Obama quote...
No problem. This would mean I could still say that the prophet of islam was a murdering, rapist, pedophile.. It has to be untrue to be slander............
“” “Obama:
‘Future must not belong to those
who slander the prophet of Islam’ “”
All one needs to read.
can you say closet MUzzie, chilrun? Yes, I knew you could.
Mecca Spy or President of the US, it is an easy choice.
Don’t expect much from Mitt. God is our only hope- but then again, He always was.
Thank you. I don’t photoshop, and I was hoping someone could create that exact image.
Please post it frequently.
This appears why this administration and the MSM have been trying to blame a video (no one saw) on Egypt and Libya protests.
I’m surprised he didn’t say “Jesus H. Christ”.
""Don't look now but Islam is becoming the main Stream media's official religion of America."
"Have you ever seen any major newspaper here in the USA refer to Jesus Christ as "The Son of God, God Incarnate, The Lord Jesus Christ"? Can you imagine the New York Times running a story about a crucifix resting in urine at an "art gallery" as an offense against "The Lord Jesus, Son of God"? "
Nowhere in world history has the tension created by fundamental cultural disparities been shown to be cohesive. What inevitably ensues is conflict spun out of the struggle for preeminence. And no one understands this any better than islamists who are wielding every weapon they have against Western Culture in that war, with an eye on the endgame of a nuclear final solution. The fantasy that islam "celebrates diversity" is beyond rational consideration.
Obama is delusional or a simple fool. But, undoubtedly, he is as dangerous as any foe of liberty.
nobama once again shows his true colors. Whoever votes for this anti-Free-America Destroyer should be jailed.
The Marxist Muslim has to be defeated. He and his evil regime must go.
You’re precisely right on every count. Those Muslims live to conquer and by murder. I’ve never understood why women go along with that horrid so-called “religion,” but I guess it’s a form of enslavement.
We’d better wise-up here at home. Mosques are growing in number faster than any of us can count.

“The not-so-subtle message, however, is about presenting Muslims as victims of religious bigotry and intolerance. When no religion is as intolerant and bigoted as THEIRS.”
“Obama:
‘Future must not belong to those
who slander the prophet of Islam’”
Jews and Christians are just gonna LOVE this.
Obama seems to be self imploding as of late.
Baraq > John 14:6.
God help us all.
No it isn't. A belief is not slander.
There are certainly problems with Obama's statement, but that it implies the future doesn't belong to Christians is not one of them.
Death penalty for blasphemy?
As far as I know, the Islamic religion does NOT claim that Mohammad was a deity or holy or anything any more than the prophets God sent to pave the way for Jesus.
