He’s a Muslim and a marxist? Aren’t those incompatible?
But perhaps there is a scenario where this makes sense. Let’s say that in a conflict between the Taliban and the Soviet Union, the pull of Islam is stronger and he sides with the Taliban. The CIA gives him an opportunity to use his Islamic connections to make contacts in Pakistan that enable the CIA to send weapons to the Taliban.
Perhaps the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union soured him on the USSR.
Perhaps his marxism isn’t the full-blown national communism that took over the Soviet Union and China. Maybe it’s a cloudy philosophy of “social justice” and help for the downtrodden, and he has somehow reconciled this with Islamic faith.
One thing I am pretty sure of, and Manning says it: Obama hates America. It is not communist enough nor Islamic enough to suit him.
