Why So Many People Think Obama Is a Muslim
Atlas Shrugs and American Thinker ^ | July 3, 2012 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 07/03/2012 5:59:42 PM PDT by combat_boots

A new Gallup poll shows that 11% of Americans think Obama is a Muslim, and the leftist media just can't figure out why anyone would get that idea. Slate concluded that it must be because of "his exotic name and background, the color of his skin, or (most likely) some combination of the two." But in reality, the reason why people think Obama is a Muslim is because of how he acts.

Why do people believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim? Here's why: after the Muslim Brotherhood won the Egyptian presidency, the military moved to curb the president's powers in order to stave off sharia rule in Egypt. But then Obama warned the military that they better hand over power quickly, or Egypt would lose billions in U.S. aid.

It wasn't enough that Obama invited the Muslim Brotherhood to his submission speech in Cairo in June 2009, despite the fact that the group was banned at that time for obvious reasons: they wanted to install a sharia government, and the draconian, barbaric code of sharia, in Egypt. It wasn't enough that after he invited the Brotherhood to his speech; he had officials in his administration meeting with this Islamic supremacist group. It wasn't enough that he abandoned the true freedom movement, when the women of Iran and Persians and Zoroastrians rose up after 30 years of oppressive sharia rule. Obama spit on them and left them to die. They met bullets with bare flesh and broken bricks.

Black Liberation Theology = Islam + Christianity + Marxism

Jesus was mentioned in the Koran. Doesn’t make Muslims Christians.

Act 3 Scene 3

O, their offence is rank it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal traitors’ curse upon’t,
A nation’s murder. Pray can they not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will:
Their stronger guilt defeats their strong intent;
And, like a Congress to double business bound, They stand in pause where they shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with citizens’ blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy
But to confront the visage of offence?
And what’s in prayer but this two-fold force,
To be forestalled ere we come to fall,
Or pardon’d being down? Then I’ll look up;
My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer
Can serve my turn? ‘Forgive me my foul murder’?
That cannot be; since I am still possess’d
Of those effects for which I did the murder,
My crown, mine own ambition and my reign.

When he thanked McCain on national television for not attacking him for "my muslim faith," that pretty well sealed it for me. Steponallofus tried to repair the damage, but his "correction" ("you mean Christian") made no sense in the context. To any discerning observer it only made matters worse because it revealed that Stephy was plainly trying to cover for something.

Because he IS a Moslem or Moslem apostate (not such a bad thing as Moslem). His father was Moslem, his stepfather was Moslem, he was registered as a Moslem in school in Malaysia, and he said, out loud, on George Stephanopoulis’s show “My Muslim faith...” and had to be corrected.

He sure as heck is not a Christian. Nobody sitting in the Rev. Wright’s pews is a Christian.

Could it be that everything he does is pro Arab, anti Jew? Has he ever said anything good about Israel? He sides with the UN on every anti Israeli decision they make, which is almost every one of them. Plus, his dad was a muslim, his step dad was a muslim, he was brought up muslim. Stop me at any time cause I can go on.

Gee, now WHY would anyone think that Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim?

Ah, as Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote: "Let me count the ways!"

Photobucket

The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:

The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means.

The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America
is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within
and "sabotaging" their miserable house by their hands
and the hands of the believers
so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions.

Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.

(REMINDER of that—The Muslim Brotherhood/Islam--which B. Hussein Obama SUPPORTS and which is ACTIVELY working—through “Civilization/Stealth” Jihad—to replace our Constitution with SHARIA )

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD CREED:

Allah is our objective;
the Prophet is our leader;
the Quran is our law;
Jihad is our way;
dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

Though we are all aware of Obama's proclivity towards appeasing Islam and Islamic Republics; his negotiating with our enemies (Taliban); his release of captured Terrorists; his support of the "Arab Spring" in the ME which has led to the takeover of those countries by Radical Islamists; etc, many are not aware of what he has done to facilitate their (Islamists) acceptance and appointment to positions of "trust" within our own Government

Here are but 6 of those individuals:

03hussain
Rashad Hussain

sk.kifa
Kifa Mustapha

Mohamed_Elibiary

Momamed Elibiary

huma

Huma Abedin

dalia-mogahed

Daliah Mogahed

ImamMagid-TN

Mohamed Magid

Islam is a frontal attack on Christianity and Judaism and its time we understood this threat and called it what it is. We are not in a “war on terror”, which so many politically correct politicians would have us believe.

The whole world is, and has been for 1,400 years, in a WAR AGAINST ISLAM! If we do not stand up against this cancerous enemy, whose ultimate goal is to bring the entire world into submission to Islam and have all people worship none but Allah, then Western Civilization and human freedom as we know it will soon cease to exist.

America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger – a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls “civilization jihad.”

For a detailed description of who these individuals pictured above are, their goals and what damage they have done and the real threat they pose, see the following:

Muslim Brotherhood in America Part 8: Team Obama and the Islamists

IF after viewing this video, one does not come away with the resolve to do whatever it takes to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, then I worry about the future of our Great Republic.

PS: One should at least bookmark this most enlightening, informative, well researched and documented 10-part Series by Frank Gaffney (Muslim Brotherhood in America) and watch all of it as soon as time permits.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

I think that includes those who “aren’t sure what his faith is” - which means they really think he’s Muslim :-)

Heck, the number could even be higher than 40% by now - not only are most not as honest as the 11%, a percentage of people will even lie in anonymous polls because they’re so afraid of being politically incorrect!

Why?
Because he was raised in an Islamic culture at an impressionable age.
Because his foreign policy has tremendously advanced Islamic domination of multiple countries (Egypt, Libya, etc).
Because he holds an anti-Israel stance, right down to refusing to dine with its leaders and representatives.
Because he adheres to Islamic holidays (not seen eating during daylight during Ramadan, asks for vegitarian menu in a Brazilian steakhouse on an Islamic no-meat day, etc).
Because his adherence to Christian holidays is minimal and secular at best.

Ya think?

That's because the Koran originated from various Christian documents available in the Arabian Peninsula at the time, given that the high tech civilizations of that region were Christian and Jewish kingdoms.

Agree he is probably an atheist. Rev Wright’s “church” he famously attended in Chicago was little more than a cover for Black Marxist theology. Obama keeps his “religious” views and background as muted & ambiguous as possible to allow him to be different things to different groups. He is first and foremost a chameleon.

What I’ve never been able to figure out is where all the douchebags like Stepinawefulstuff think they’re going to go or end up after they achieve their objective of destroying America. It’s not like there’s going to be another really kick ass place like here to go start over and do it again afterwards...

B. Hussein Obama is a DEVOUT Sunni Muslim. I heard there were photos on the White House website that inadvertently showed a bit of his prayer rug — off in the background — in the Oval office. That photo was scrubbed after a few hours.

**************************
Keep in mind that it’s a Gallup poll. I think they only poll adult Democrats. I haven’t seen a Gallup poll that was believable in years.

Let’s see... Father a Muslim; Step-father a Muslim; religion listed as Islam in elementary school in Indonesia; first college attended in US he had Muslim roomate and they both traveled to Pakistan on their own passports at a time when the US State Dept. was telling US citizens NOT to travel there; in recent years he has bowed to Muslim and other leaders, pandered to them through his oratory and supported radical Muslim government takeovers in the Mid-East.

Hard to understand why many MORE than 11% would believe Obama to be a Muslim! /s

I’ll counter with this idea: Communism as we define it is atheistic. Don’t know how islam’s tribal culture defines it, though.

Besides, Hussein could be a satanist, after the mold of Alinsky.

I’m going with what I have called him for four and 1/2 years: the muslim marxist.

Freudian verbal slips can be very telling:

“My Muslim faith”... in conversation with Stephanopolous on TV

“All 57 states”... which is how many Muslim countries there are, and what was uppermost in his mind, rather than the 50 US states he was campaigning in.

“The prettiest sound in creation...” O reflecting on the muezzin’s call to prayer

Anybody can have a verbal slip, but his add up and seem to be in one direction.
