At least as troubling are what amount to instances of presidential dawa, the Arabic term for Islamic proselytization. For example, Obama referred four times in his speech to “the Holy Quran.” It seems unimaginable that he ever would ever use the adjective to describe the Bible or the Book of Mormon.
Then, the man now happy to call himself Barack Hussein Obama (in contrast to his attitude during the campaign) boasts of having “known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed.” An interesting choice of words that, “first revealed.” Not “established,” “founded” or “invented.”
Elsewhere in the speech, Obama actually declared that “I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.” Note that, although he referred in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian-Arab conflict to “vile stereotypes” of Jews, he did not describe it as “part of his responsibility as president” to counter anti-Semitic representations.
Unremarked was the fact that such incitement is daily fare served up by the state media controlled by his host in Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak, by the Palestinian Authority’s Mahmoud Abbas and by every other despot in the region with whom Obama seeks to engage. Worse yet, no mention was made of the fact that some of those “vile stereotypes” — notably, that Jews are “descendants of apes and pigs” — are to be found in Quran itself.
Perhaps the most stunning bit of dawa of all was a phrase the president employed that, on its face, denies the divinity of Jesus — something surprising from a self-described committed Christian.

As if there were any doubt...
He just wanted to make the issue absolutely clear for his muslim brothers.
We have a Muslim president who sympathizes with Islamic terrorists and despises Jews for having the nerve to defend themselves.
Nothing more than a pandering, arrogant gasbag with a tainted view of the world lacking any foundation in the realities of history.
His Marxist model is destroying America and has left us the laughingstock of the world. NONE of the tinpot dictators and despotic regimes he has elevated to first world status have any obligation to him or his agenda, and they have no problem ignoring his exhortations.
This guy is dangerous to our future.
Am I supposed to be surprised by this Moslem?
What does surprise me is that anyone would be surprised.
Anyone that had their eyes open and brain in gear during the election knew that he was a muslim (or at the very least, had strong muslim sympathies), yet 78% of American Jews voted for him. I guess they never heard the story about the frog and the scorpion (or fox and snake, depending on who’s telling it).
This should surprise no one. He might as well start bowing to Mecca five times a day and take another wife. At least that would be honest.
This is a very good analysis of Obama’s disgusting speech. It was, esentially, declaring the US to be a Muslim nation, part of the House of Islam, thereby changing all the rules of the game.
It makes me sick to my stomach to think about this.
Thanks for posting the article!
Here is RED STATE UPDATE’S take on the speech.

(warning: slight profanity)
The stupid black kid thinks America is a muslim country. I wonder if the 64 million people who voted for him think that also.
But they’re still slobbering with the kisses in the MSM.
We The People must somehow break out of our DANCING WITH THE STARS/AMERICAN IDOL/Braindead TV reveries and employ every Constitutional tool to remove this impostor. He is an enemy of Christ to be sure—and that may not bother anyone—but he is also an enemy of our country.
“”It makes me sick to my stomach to think about this.””
There was a time when this phrase didn’t mean much. Today it absolutely LITERALLY applies to a lot of us. It’s not a good feeling at all.
for later.
So Obama is clearly going to get Holder working on this. Here's a snippet from a June 5 National Review article by Frank Gaffney and David Yerushalmi:
The problem with all of this public largesse is that AIG sponsors, pays for, and aggressively markets sharia-compliant insurance products. The practice of sharia finance has created lucrative advisory positions for often radical imams, who get paid to guarantee the religious “purity” of sharia-compliant products. Such vehicles typically follow the Muslim principle of zakat and donate a slice of their profits to charity.
Sickening. If Bush had said this he would have been flayed alive in the press.
Just disgusting.
