Watch Obama's face as Bergdahl's dad invoked Allah in Arabic

When Bob Bergdahl launched in Arabic, invoking Allah while standing next to President Obama in the White House Rose Garden, a number of Americans were startled. Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer, a strategic policy and intelligence expert with a focus on Middle East, national defense, WMD, and counterterrorism issues, emailed her friend Allen West:

“What none of these media is reporting is that the father’s (SGT Bowe Bergdahl’s father Bob) first words at the WH were in Arabic – those words were “bism allah alrahman alraheem” – which means “in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful” – these are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur’an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th) – by uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam. There is no question but POTUS knows this.”

I am not knowledgeable enough to judge the claim of sanctifying the White House and claiming it for Islam, but I place a lot of stick in watching nonverbal cues, people’s quick reactions. And so, when our friends at iOwnTheWorld.com captured and enlarged President Obama’s reaction to Bergdahl’s invocation of Allah, it hit me hard.

Watch for yourself and see if it means anything to you.

For a split second, I couldn’t figure out who the POShyteOTUS was. Then I remembered that the present POTUS is black.

Additionally, an anonymous source recently provided the news station with “an alarming email” hacked from CIA contractor Strafor’s President Fred Burton. The email, which was posted on WikiLeaks, claimed that Brennan previously headed up the government’s effort to crackdown on investigative journalists.

“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources,” the alleged email reads. “Note — There is specific tasker from the WH to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode…”

Any chance this will wake up the brain-dead at the New York Times or Washington Post?

Possibly. Particularly if he didn’t want to make the trade. He need a subpoena from congress ASAP

[hoosiermama]

That certainly is a possibility. Particularly since many of the bikers who visited DC resently carried pro BB signs

Understood. However, I maintain my original point that that translating to one nation’s or people’s native language, especially when that language uses the same name for a false deity, is changing the name as it has been said for millenia in Christendom to no good reason except accomoation in some sense of islam. Perhaps one might say another noun in one’s native tongue, but it cannot be considered conservative to translate into a term used by a competing and, may I add, overtly militant, worldview.

First of all, I’m not saying I agree with the view of using the name Allah for the God of the Bible. However, just to respond to your point. The name of any deity or word for God is going to automatically be false, if the name isn’t referring to the God of the Bible. There aren’t any neutral words for God in an unbelieving culture. In regard to Islam, if you do not use the name Allah but some other Arabic name, you also have to deal with whatever connotations that name has within your Islamic community group. You must study and choose carefully, but in the end you really just have the lesser of two ‘evils.’ In which case, missionaries must do a great deal of explanation to show they do not intend whatever connotation the names imply. Christian missionaries have grappled with this in regard to Islam since the time of Mohammed. I am not trying to be argumentative. However, church history is littered with examples of translations either being too cautious or too liberal in their word choice and causing many theological problems in newly formed churches.

I saw this when it happened in real time it made me sick! It is obvious Obama is a Muslim and hates America.

[Blue Highway]

The PCA is conservative? Changing God’s name as it has been used throughout Christendom for millenia does not reconcile with being conservative.

and it does not reconcile with being Christian either. Father, son and Obama are all Muslim!

[Pagey]

He surely knew what THOSE words meant.

Great post...
