Has Obama ever denied being a Muslim? (vanity)

[far sider]

Total vanity here.

I know Obama has claimed to be a Christian and I know he has "misspoken" now and then about his "muslim faith." But does anyone know if he has ever actually said flat-out "I am not a Muslim"?

[Lera]

Every time he says the shahadda over seas he is telling the muslim world he is a muslim

[Nifster]

If the DiC and his beard were commies, what would he have done differently?

[tophat9000]

Its two parts that would be needed to not be Muslim and to be Christian... both need to be asked as direct questions and acknowledged as truth

1.Muhammad is false prophet & the koran is not the word of God
2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God & the Bible is the Word of God

the problem is in Islam your allowed to lie about your believe for strategic reasons

[MrB]

If Obama is a Muslim, what would he have done differently?
A: Not much.

If Obama is a Christian, what would he have done differently?
A: More bullet points than I care to spend the time typing.

[Liz]

Now's a good time for Obama to amend his will to leave
his eyeballs to science. The jaundiced, cockeyed way
he views the world demands science take a looksee.

Maybe Obama's got a rare eyeball-eating disease.
Maybe something he caught on disease-ridden Chicago
streets as a community organizer....maybe gonorrhea of
the eye sockets?

Obama is somewhere in between Muslim- Christian- homosexual atheist. And the only Christianity he picked was that racist crap version at Reverend Wright’s church

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Liberation Theology and the KGB

Jay Richards | February 2, 2010

The presence of Marxism in liberation theology is well-known, at least to seminarians who are critical readers. Practically every seminarian reads Gustavo Gutierrez’s Theology of Liberation at some point, but most laypeople find it hard to believe that there could have been (and continues to be) a widespread attempt to hybridize Christian theology and Marxism.

Marxist regimes obviously benefitted from the spread of liberation theology in the churches. Still, I was not aware of any connections between liberation theology and communist clandestine organizations until now.

A new article by Robert D. Chapman in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence begins to connect some dots. In “The Church in Revolution,” Chapman, “a retired operations officer in the Clandestine Services Division of the Central Intelligence Agency,” argues that the KGB infiltrated the Russian Orthodox Church through Metropolitan Nikodim, the Russian Orthodoxy’s second-ranking prelate. Nikodim was a proponent of liberation theology. Nikodim was active in the otherwise-Protestant World Council of Churches. And the WCC, of course, became an actively left-wing organization during the last half of the 20th century.

Chapman also details the growth of liberation theology in Latin America—and the Vatican’s struggles with it—and the growth of black liberation theology in the United States. Prominent proponents of the latter include James Cone and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The arguments of liberation theologians should be challenged on their merits. The source of an argument, after all, doesn’t establish its truth or falsity. Still, it’s interesting to learn that liberation theology may have been, at least in part, a project of the KGB.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just history. Chapman concludes ominously:

"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB’s headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.

A friend of mine, a head of Catholic social services in my area and formerly a priest, is a liberation theologian. He has made a number of humanitarian trips to Central America and told me, ‘‘liberation theology is alive and well.’’ The same can be said of its sibling in the United States [ie, Black Liberation Theology]."

[angryoldfatman]

Short answer: No, he has never said the words “I am not a Muslim”.

He has adamantly stated he’s a Christian, but I don’t believe a word that comes out the liar’s mouth.

Interesting.

"Both Obama and the American public should be very careful of what they wish for. As the horrible example of Obama's father shows, there is nothing worse for an embittered outsider manipulating the system from within than to achieve his goals - and nothing can be more terrible for the system. Even those who despise America for its blunders of the past few years should ask themselves whether the world will be a safer place if America retreats into a self-pitying shell. "

More on Liberation Theology and the Soviets
Catholic News Agency ^ | 5/15/2015 | Alejandro Bermúdez

Posted on 5/16/2015, 11:56:24 AM by observationdeck

If the Soviet bloc wasn't the mother of liberation theology, it was certainly a sinister stepmother, enlisting Catholics in a geopolitical cause and inviting them to sell their souls for funding and support.

Only the naïve can disregard the mountain of evidence connecting liberation theology with Soviet action in the region.

Last one and I give up! Unbelievable...

Quote from James Cone, founder of "Black Liberation Theology":

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

The Black church and Marxism: what do they have to say to each other

[Tenacious 1]

Do you think Obama is anxious for the day he can tell the world how he cleverly deceived the Great Satin?

Is he giddy over how he has gamed the populace, media and citizens?

I have no doubt he hates America. But has he been trying to “remake” it “better” or “remake” it to punish (in his mind I mean)? What does he view as “better” if the former might be considered. What does Utopia look like to a radical liberal or communist? Do they believe that if everyone is at the same level of misery, then all will be happy because there is nobody to be jealous of?

[ETL]

Is that from my link?

[Tucker39]

Would it hold any water if he DID deny it? It is highly moral in islam to lie to infidels if it will advance the cause of islam. BTW...You and I are the infidels, in this case.

I don't believe Obama believes in any god. But he obviously sides with Muslims over Christians at every single opportunity.

Here is a question that I have never seen answered:
So Mr. Obama, your father was Muslim, your step-dad was Muslim, you attended Muslim schools, you worshiped in mosques and spoke Muslim prayers. When did you convert to Christianity and why? What caused you to leave the faith you were brought up in?

Every conversion from one religion to another has a story. What is his story?

[joethedrummer]

He ALWAYS stands with radicals, (who hate whites, Christians, Conservatives) whoever they may be.

If the Manson family were Muslim and committed their crimes now, he’d have them to the White House and then use taxpayer dollars to buy and build their own multi million dollar commune complex. -IF they were a Muslim group.

[ETL]

I have no doubt he hates America. But has he been trying to “remake” it “better” or “remake” it to punish (in his mind I mean)? What does he view as “better” if the former might be considered.

No he hasn’t denied ever being a moslem.

Just like he hasn’t claimed to be a natural born citizen, he has only very carefully claimed to be a citizen and eligible.

And people fall for this clown’s bs.

I think so. Last paragraph IIRC.
