An Egyptian foreign service official's comment about President Obama is turning into a sensation among bloggers for its claim that the American leader claims to be Muslim.
Obama's religiosity has been the subject of discussion since before he was elected and his Chicago-area pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, delivered a "God d--- America" sermon that was caught on video.
Obama later claimed to be a Muslim in a television interview where the interviewer corrected his "misstatement" and he has referenced the Muslim heritage in America's past several times.
Now the heat on the issue is being turned up because of a weeks-old report in Israel Today.
In the report, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit was quoted as saying during an appearance on Nile TV that, "The American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim."
The White House remained silent on the comment, declining to respond to a WND request for comment.
But blogger Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs wrote, "This is akin to an SS officer getting elected president during WW II. Every country in the free world must be cognizant of such a catastrophic sea change in the leadership of the free world (as witnessed by events over the past year). This changes everything. He took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet he has gone around the world promoting Islam, the Shariah (Islamic law)."
She suggested that the exchange could have happened early in 2010 when Gheit was in Washington, D.C., to address "Mideast peace talks."

Paris, France. It is very cool to be a French intel guy. A spectacular meal at a Parisian bistro with $90 entrées and a $200 bottle of Bordeaux? No problem. Id known this fellow since he got me out of a jam in Sudan years ago. His James Bond days are over, but still, riding a desk for the DGSE Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (General Directorate for External Security), Frances military intel agency in Paris has its decided benefits. One of them is not being infected with Obamamania. My agency considers him a joke, he confides. Every day there is some fresh lunacy that we cannot believe. Mr. Bush would often make us angry. But at this man we just laugh. In truth, it also makes us sad, he continued. French resentment towards America is strong, so being able to laugh at your country feels good. But it is such a sad and strange thing to see America America The Great! do something so crazy as to elect this ridiculous man.
There are many people in America who think he isnt a legitimate president as he wasnt born in the US and isnt a natural citizen. What do you think? I asked. He shrugged. I wouldnt know. Ive never had reason to make an inquiry.
There are a lot of people convinced he is a traitor who hates America and is actively determined to destroy it. Any opinion on that? He didnt shrug at this. After a long slow sip of wine, he mused, I would not go that far. Many of his actions, however, are very puzzling because they are so counter-productive regarding Americas best interests. There seems to be a consistent pattern in that direction.
What does Sarkozy think of him? Nothing but contempt. After a pause he asked, And Langley? Well, if you thought the war they waged against Bush was intense, it was nothing compared to how theyre going to screw Obama. He has tried to gut them with the torture memo release and slashing their budgets. The morale is depressed, sullen, and enraged. You know what a left-wing outfit Langley is. They thought he was their boy and they feel betrayed. All kinds of damaging stuff on him will be appearing via their media friends. He nodded. And in Tel Aviv City? He was referring to the huge underground city complex of Langleys underneath the US Embassy in the Israeli capital. Thats an interesting question. You know how vast and deep the relationship is there. Langley is making every effort to overcome the total and massive distrust their Israeli colleagues have for Obama, whom they know is selling them down the Jordan River. So far though this effort is in words. The Israelis are waiting to see what Langley does.
He said nothing. I smiled. You guys wouldnt be Langleys cutout for thwarting BO regarding Israel, would you? Id never suspect that He continued to say nothing, gave me only a slight smile in return, and poured me another glass of wine. The Bordeaux is good, yes? I nodded.
You know, the French media worships this man the same as yours in the US. All of this 100 days talk, it is impossibly stupid. Most anyone in the French elite, the business leaders, Sarkos people, they all know this. They all think this is some crazy joke of the Americans. But it is a very, very dangerous joke. For 100 days your president has been a laughingstock among the tout le monde of Paris. No one may be laughing 100 days or 10 months from now. He leaned forward. The world can go how do you say sideways with this man very quickly. No one he has working for him knows what they are doing possibly excepting Mrs. Clinton and he certainly does not. All of us in our little community are worried us, our friends in Berlin, London, Tel Aviv, and Langley too as you say. It is not like the barbarians at the gates. It is every barbarian horde in the world being told there are no gates. The Somalis, Chavez, Iran, Putin, Beijing, the Norks as you call them, the list is long and it is growing. We are not sure what to do.
It took me a moment to respond. The best thing that has happened now is Obama making Langley his enemy. They will be cooperating with you more, be more a part of your worried community. Working together, you can undermine his efforts more effectively, block and maybe even repair the damage. It was my turn to lean forward. Then again, all together you could be more pro-active. The man is a mystery. Nobody can make public his actual birth certificate, or even the particular hospital he was born in, or his college grades, or how he got into Harvard, or how he made editor of the Harvard Law Review and never wrote a single article for it. It goes on and on. He really is a Zero. I think all of you guys should find all of this out and make it known. I added, The quicker the better, before the laughing stops and the real dangers begin. What is that phrase you use? he asked. Something to consider? I laughed. Yes, there is much to consider and much that you can do. I mean, really, if the Soviet Union could be dismantled, so can this presidency. It was a beautiful April afternoon in Paris. He walked me back to my hotel. It could be that the times we live in may get even more interesting.
I hope Langley is still watching Obama's every move ( I am sure they are!).
It is this same thinking that makes me think that Gates is still at Defense because he sees what a disaster and traitor now sits in the Oval Office.
As regards Obama's declaration "I am a muslim," it is really irrelevant. Irrelevant not because it is untrue, but because of the overwhelming circumstantial evidence proving he is indeed a muslim.
From his betrayal of Israel in favor of the Palis to his refusal to permit the use of the term "Islamic radical" to his $400 million of "aid" to the Palistinians to his "mengaji" classes as a child in Indonesia to his Cairo message to the muslim world to his and Holders Miranda rights to terrorists (excuse me..."man-caused disaster agents") to his efforts to hold the KSM trial in NYC...
We don't need to stinkin' taped admission! Obama has given us all the proof we need.
We have a traitor in the WH!
“The best thing that has happened now is Obama making Langley his enemy.”
I would expect 0 to cleanse Langley if they don’t tow the line.
I suggest that Obama has no idea whether Langley is towing the line or not (I even wonder if Panetta knows).
I think Langley is much to complicated and there are way too many secrets for Obama to even attempt such a thing (at least as things stand presently).

It’s irrelevant what a person claims to be. It is relevant what he actually does. Only this is the yardstick by which we can measure him/her.
With this simple guideline, I’ve come to the conclusion that Obie is a Muslim a long time ago.
Q.E.D.
(Am I entitled to the Nobel Peace Prize now, too?)
Well,its obvious he hates Christians and Jews so if he wants to be a “person of the Book,”that leaves one left.
To my mind, that says it all.
He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare), that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.
90 percent of Jews voted for him.
Oh well. A vote for Islam. How sad
I knew the bastard was on a Ramadan vacation last year. He fasted and lost about 20 pounds. No Christmas celebrations.
The Democrats have given us a Foreign citizen of Islamic heritage to sit in our White house. Democrats truly hate this country.
I knew the bastard was on a Ramadan vacation last year. He fasted and lost about 20 pounds. No Christmas celebrations.
You’re questioning an American president in a time of war. You hate America first!
We might have a problem here.
Thank you SO MUCH media for INVESTIGATING and VETTING this slick big eared atrocity.
And now I think I understand why Michelle always looks so miserable.
Quite a few Christians don’t go to a church service on Christmas Eve, but I am very interested in the fact that Hussein loses weight during Muslim fasts. This is the first I’ve heard of that.
“Funny also that when he refers to the Koran, it’s always the Holy Koran or the Noble Koran!”
Yes and also he said, ‘The sweetest sound is the call to prayer”. He’s a muslim alright. The cover of the New York Times said it all. Barry hates America.
Only a muzzie could believe that. Normal people find it annoying and offensive.
We don't need to stinkin' taped admission! Obama has given us all the proof we need.
We have a traitor in the WH!
Yep -- his traitorous actions speak louder than his notorious silence, evasions, and equivocations about where his loyalties truly lie -- and I do mean "LIE".
