Senator Obama slips up and says “my Muslim faith” in an interview with George Stephanopoulus:

In his own words: Barack Obama on Christianity and Islam
By Thomas Lifson

A website called Now The End Begins has compiled 40 comments by Barack Obama on Christianity and Islam. Collectively, they create quite an interesting picture. I admit that there may be instances of the president speaking as favorably of Christianity as he does of Islam, but I am not aware of them. I do remember in the 2008 campaign that he said he had accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, and that was in response to public awareness of his attendance at Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church, Trinity United. What the president left unsaid is the nature of Jesus as understood in Black Liberation Theology. But that is a discussion for another time.

The list has been reprinted here and here. (hat tip: iOwnTheWorld.com). See what you think:

1. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”

2. “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”

3. “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

4. “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”

5. “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”

6. “Islam has always been part of America”

7. “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

8. “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

9. “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

10. “I made it clear that America is not – and will never be – at war with Islam.”

11. “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”

12. “So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

13. “In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education.”

14. “Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

15. “Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality”

16. “The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.’”

17. “I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

18. “We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants – farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities, the Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped unlock the secrets of our universe.”

19. “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

20. “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

(maybe someone-hopefully Trump-will steal this like others have been stealing my stuff lately...)

Trump should say: "I think Obama's a Jew! And so is his handler, Valerie Jarrett. It's a secret, because if Iran ever found out they were negotiating with Jews, it may kill this whole ridiculous missile deal, you know?"

What Trump should have said was simple:

“You know, unlike Hillary I don’t screen who comes to my events. They’re open to the anyone who can get a ticket. Sometimes people say things that others don’t agree with. That’s called Freedom of Speech. Look it up.”

Although Obama has sealed who he is, Titus 1:16 gives Christians a “license” to judge somebody by their actions. And since lawless Obama is pro-LGBT agenda and pro-abortion, he’s not a Christian imo.

What Trump Should Have Said:

"Hey George, on a major network talk-show, I once heard Barack state to the host "John MeCain has not, ah ah, talked about my muslim faith."

“There is no indication that Obama has ever affirmed Islam as an adult, and he says that he is a Christian. Therefore he is a Christian. Period.”

Anyone ever notice that, although it is generally well known that Obama has a tendency to avoid telling the truth about anything, his claim that he is a Christian is taken on a par with a prayer book. Strange. If he were a Muslim, does anyone think he would own up to it? And how would his actions be any different if he was an admitted Muslim?

This seems like an issue made to order for Trump. I would love to ear him ask why the president is so ashamed of being part of the Muslim faith. Why is he doing his best to imply he would not be caught dead as a Muslim.

As hard as the media is trying to disassociate Obama from being Muslim, they are appearing more bigoted and racist than anyone. I don’t understand why Muslim groups don’t rise up and ask Mr. President why he is so ashamed of being associated with the Muslim faith. He and the media are fighting tooth and nail not to be labeled Muslim. Is Obama a bigot?
