Finally, Trump and the GOP Start Muslim-Bashing
The Daily Beast ^ | September 18, 2015 | Dean Obeidallah, Palestinian-American Comedian

It took a while, but Trump is finally hating on Muslims—going along with a supporter who called Obama a Muslim born in another country.

Donald Trump gave us a profile in cowardice on Thursday night, remaining silent as one of his supporters served up a big heaping of vile anti-Muslim comments at a packed New Hampshire campaign event.

The Trump supporter’s words were so off the charts that part of me thought the guy might be joking. But sadly it appears he was deadly serious when he told the GOP frontrunner: “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. Our current president is one. We know he’s not even an American.” The man then added, “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?”

Did Trump respond: “When you say we have a problem with Muslims, you mean the handful who have been involved in terrorism?” Nope. Did he correct his supporter, as John McCain did during the 2008 presidential race when a supporter called Obama “an Arab” and McCain immediately responded: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.” Nope....

...”I love how Rubio just said that he believes Obama is a Christian because...wait for it.... because Obama told us he was a Christian. so, that’s the end of that because Obama has never been known to lie about anything before. I’m thinking that if that’s all the evidence he needs, Marco Rubio is a gullible little child and we don’t need a gullible little child sitting in the oval office.”...

Anyone with a brain knows that the content of someone’s heart and mind cannot be detected. People lie all the time. If you watch actions, though, they do generally speak louder than words. When I heard Rubio emphatically declare that he knows for a fact what religion the President is, I decided right then not to vote for him. He is only a politician, after all. What a disappointment.

That’s ridiculous. This guy has stretched the whole situation around like silly putty so that he can provoke outrage from readers.

When I look at Obama’s words and actions, I do not see a Christian, I see an atheist.

I see him more as a Cultural Muslim, that is his bias, although he may not be a practicing Muslim, he adopted their world view.

What they really need to be doing is lame-ducking Obama to the nth degree. He’s yesterday’s news, a has-been, he’s passe, his time is over, the wheel has turned. Lay it on really thick.

Not only guaranteed to brand Obama in voters’ minds as “the past,” but also to REALLY tick off that preening narcissist.

Suggested Trump response.

If people have questions about the president’s religion - those questions are better addressed by him than me. I’m much more worried about fixing his horrible policies than I am his personal life.

Period.

Maybe Trump should just state that after being elected President, he will do a thorough, public investigation into Obama's past - birth certificate, academic records at his schools, etc. That way there world with know the truth. If he is a Christian, the investigation will show it. If he is a Muslim, the investigation will show it.

Trump will simply say that we'll know the truth after all the facts are out...

“Supporter” a Democrat/Progressive Plant to make Trump look bad. This smells bad from the get go. Watch for other things like that to come forward.

Suggested answer for any Republican:

“No one can say what Barack Obama is, because what he says cannot be relied upon. We can however, judge him by his actions.

“Barack Obama cannot be a true Muslim because his beliefs as relates to gays are contrary to the teachings of the Koran, and the actions of most of the Koran’s disciples. As a matter of fact, his posture on abortion places him outside the teachings of most all world religions.

“So at best what he is, is anti-theist, possibly atheist.

“Further, Barack Obama’s actions, statements, and policies as relates to the Middle East make him pro-Iran. One might say, then, that he is objectively and functionally, ANTI-THEIST PERSIAN, and he is President of the United States.

“If anyone can refute what I just said, then please submit your evidence based on his actions instead of his words.”

The muzzies richly deserve vile anti-Muslim comments.

And they brought it upon themselves given the history of anti-Western terrorism by Muslim terrorists at least since the middle 1960's.

Yes. Obama spent a portion of his childhood growing up in a Muslim country, Indonesia.

That with the communist influence of Frank Davis and the usual anti-israel, pro Islamic terrorists lectures from other black militants gave King Barack a decidedly anti-western, anti-Semitic, pro-Muslim/commie hybrid outlook on life.

we went into a discussion how the media and small groups get outraged and try to convince themselves that the rest of the country shares their outrage. That's why they're surprised when their “this’ll hurt Trump” narratives don't come to pass

That's because it usually works when the dumbass Republicans agree and apologize for it.
