Twitchy headline says it all.
Context provided by Erick Erickson at Red State:
In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today the President of the United States declared that the future does not belong to practicing Christians. Already, the media and the left are in full denial, probably based on their general lack of understanding of theology. This would have been a gaffe had Mitt Romney said it. But with Barack Obama, he’s just speaking bold truths. His bold truth declares that the future does not belong to practicing Christians.
Pay careful attention to what he says:
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, and that is the vision we will support."
Now, that’s the full paragraph so no one can claim I took him out of context.
But consider this.
It is an orthodox Christian belief that Mohammed is not a prophet. Actual Christians, as opposed to many of the supposed Christians put up by the mainstream media, believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. Believing that is slandering Mohammed. That’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, you go into the MIddle East and proclaim Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and see what happens to your life.

” nobama once again shows his true colors. Whoever votes for this anti-Free-America Destroyer should be jailed.”
Or at least “de programmed” like they used to do to cult addicts.
Jesus can take care of himself, because our God is true; the only thing we need protection against is having the government slander or attack Christianity or Christians. Jesus knew perfectly well that people would attack: rejoice when men say all manner of evil against you for My sake, for great is your reward in Heaven.
Mohammed, on the other hand, is the false prophet of a false god, and therefore even discussing him is forbidden, let alone “slandering” him.
I hope people don’t get suckered into thinking that we need laws against the “slander” or criticism of religions, including Christianity. For one thing, any fool knows that the only religion that will really be “protected” is Islam.
But we’ve done just fine here in the US for centuries now, with people free to say whatever they want about Jesus Christ - and Christians are very strong here as a result. The only thing we don’t want is government interference, and if Christians don’t recognize this type of law as the first step in that direction, they’re deluding themselves.
To Hell with the prophet of Islam, he’s not my prophet that’s for damn sure and I can say what I please.
Yes, slander to the denier is the truth to the honest person with courage.
Don’t expect much from Mitt. God is our only hope- but then again, He always was.Amen!
Regardless of the “rest of the context”, the fact that he stated that phrase first should be as revealing as anyone should need to understand that 0bama is anti-Christ. Not THE AC, but just doing his work for him.
I call 0bama the “John the Baptist” of the AntiChrist.
You're right.
Islam, Sharia & our news media and democrats have a common enemy: Christians and Jews.
They also share the same Gestapo need and desire to dictate to us and to restrict our liberties.
We are to be conquered or killed. Death to America and Israel.
History is about to repeat itself.
I would like to second that slander by stating Islam is Satan’s answer to Christianity and Mo was an anti-christ. demon possessed child molester
I truly believe God made sure that prayer is our greatest earthly power. We have a powerful advantage here, because we pray for goodness, and we pray to Him, and they don't.
barry claims to be a Christian and that in itself is a slander to muzscums and their fecal encrusted pedophile prophet MoHamHead.
Nothing in there about “sunni’ moslems?
Hmmm...
Yes, I heard recently something I hadn’t known, that the Muslim who shot up the recruiting office in Arkansas and killed a young American was raised a Baptist in Nashville TN. He visited a local Nashville mosque and converted to Islam, then decided to go on his murderous rampage.
Now if I had heard this several years ago I wouldn’t have believed it possible.
But today I have to believe it.
"Live and let live" isn't in Islamic DNA. These subhumans lack even the concept of freedom and despise and wish to murder those who believe in it. Islam is an abomination and worthy only of extinction.
We have a choice: submit or launch a new Crusade that will not cease until Allah is worshiped only in hell.
MOHAMMED WAS A PEDOPHILE who raped a 9 year old girl named Aisha!
Don't look now, but Islam is becoming the MSM's official religion of America.
...: Have you noticed that in the past few years, and especially in the past few weeks since the murder of the Ambassador and his guards and colleague in Benghazi (a city that Erwin Rommel loved and whose inhabitants he praised), whenever the New York Times refers to Mohammed, they always call him, without quotation marks, The Prophet Mohammed, as if everyone with any sense understands that OF COURSE Mohammed is The he One True Prophet and that it's just understood that Mohammed is The Prophet.
I see this in other news outlets and on TV, too.
Sober-looking newsmen and newswomen mention Mohammed as The Prophet Mohammed. No ifs, ands or buts. I hear it on the BBC World Service, too
