So Is Barack Obama a Muslim or What?
American Thinker ^ | 09/21/2015 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 09/21/2015 7:04:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

“The fallacy that President Obama is a Muslim has tripped up many a politician,” said NPR’s Jessica Taylor hopefully on Friday, “and on Thursday night, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump was its latest victim.”

Trump’s presumed faux pas was his failure to correct a questioner who asserted that Barack Obama was a Muslim. Taylor’s real error as a reporter, like that of all her mainstream colleagues, was to dismiss the questioner’s assertion as a “fallacy” without providing any evidence to the contrary.

Strange but true, reporters pride themselves on knowing nothing about Obama’s roots. Last month, for instance, Catherine Thompson of the popular progressive blog, Talking Points Memo, interviewed me about an article I had written on the subject of Republican presidential eligibility.

Weary of her obvious condescension, I asked her where Obama spent the first year of his life. “Indonesia?” she answered. “No,” I said, “Seattle.” I asked her to survey her colleagues on the same question. Not surprisingly, this was the one exchange she edited out of the interview.

Obama’s word, whether on his birth or his faith, is good enough for the center-left media. Although they have chosen to know as little as possible about Obama’s Muslim legacy, the legacy is real. “Barry was a Muslim,” his third grade teacher told the Los Angeles Times in 2007,” and he did, in fact, register in school in Indonesia as one.

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama gratuitously used the Arabic “Andalusia” when referring to Spain. In September 2008, in a conversation with George Stephanopoulos set up to quell such rumors, Obama slipped up and referred to “my Muslim faith” before Stephanopoulos quickly intervened to correct him.

Force him to deny it, so the Muzzis take out a Fatwa on him.

Maybe, the Pope can ask him?

Francis, in Cuba and in the USA, so far has not publicly demonstrated any interest in such matters.

Obama’s not a Muslim or a Christian. He worships Obama.

The irony is that if Cruz, Palin, or any conservative did something that appeared unchristian, the left/media would tear them up.

They are already questioning Trumps faith. The double standard is appalling.

He's definitely anti-Christ.

The only question is whether the 'a' should be capitalized.

“So Is Barack Obama a Muslim or What?”

Whatever he is, he’s essentially an asshole.

shahada photo 194107_5_.jpg

At the 2014 U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit, crowd members started chanting "Allah Akbar!"

Immediately, Obama in response to the chanting made a perfect formed Usbu al-Shahada – the Finger of Shahada.

The Shahada is the fundamental declaration of Muslim faith. "There is only one God and Muhammad is his messenger."

Many of the African delegates where shocked because the Usbu al-Shahada is the non-verbal profession of the Muslim faith.

Muslim or not, would a true Muslim invite a lineup of preverts like Obama did to meet the pope?

I think his true dedication is to the destruction of western civilization, as far as it can be accomplished in 8 years. Any religion is an impediment to that.

I don’t think Muslims around the world think Obama is an apostate. They know by Muslim law he is a Muslim. They can see how he sides with Muslim issues. They probably feel he needs to hide his Muslim faith because of his job. They are ok with that.

(I don’t believe Obama worships in any faith, personally)

GG:
Do you believe in sin?

OBAMA:
Yes.

GG:
What is sin?

OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.
~~~~~~~~

Note: Sin (according to Obama) is NOT being out of alignment with GOD’S values; it’s being out of alignment with HIS (OBAMA’S) values.

So in his own eyes, OBAMA IS NOT CAPABLE OF SIN, ONLY OTHERS ARE, WHEN THEY DISAGREE WITH HIM!

Whoa. That is amazing and I did not know it.

But of course he would; he was raised for many years as a tiny boy by a Muslim man, his Indonesian stepdad. And he had the Pakistani friends in Los Angeles at Oxy.

It’s not what he says, it is what he does. Can anyone dispute that Olabba does more for the Moslims then he has ever done for Christians. Besides read his book.

“Everything he [Obama] does is against what Christians stand for,” said Mike Huckabee after the Prayer Breakfast. “And he’s against the Jews in Israel. The one group of people who can know they have his undying, unfailing support would be the Muslim community.”


I don’t support Huckabee but he is right about Obama.

I found this link http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/02/rebutting_snopes_on_obamas_muslim_gang_sign.html where the video can be found. This hand sign was definitely a response to the person saying Allahu Akbar behind him. It was so fast and, presumably to Obama, away from the camera so as to assume no one outside of his group of leaders would ever see it. Amazingly, that one reporter did. It looks like some of those African leaders saw it and looked somewhat surprised.

Looking at the video it was as if someone said a team slogan like “Hook em horns” and Obama did a quick agreement with the hand sign but super fast in case others around were supporting a different team. You know? Like he wanted to get his Muslim “cool” cred in, but discreetly.

When the peons decide to take away all the money from the ‘rich”, they consign themselves to poverty ten-fold! Of course, if one of them is in the forefront of the take over, they reap the benefits in millions of dollars. “Let the peons use their hands instead of t-paper”
