Barack ObamaIt was reported back in September 2013 that “although talk of such a fatwa has been around for at least eight years, there’s no evidence it was ever issued, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which flatly called the fatwa a hoax. MEMRI claims the phony fatwa is promoted by Iranian diplomats and Turkey’s Islamist prime minister, Recep Erdogan. ‘There is no such fatwa. It is a lie from the Iranians, a deception, and it is tragic that President Obama has endorsed it,’ MEMRI Founder and President Yigal Carmon told FoxNews.com. In July, the Iranian website Tasnimnews, which is linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, published an extensive list of 493 fatwas from Khamenei dating back to 2004. None forbade the pursuit of nuclear weapons.”
“Obama: Iran Won’t Pursue Nuclear Weapons Because It’s ‘Contrary to Their Faith,’” by Bradford Thomas, Real Clear Politics, February 9, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Monday, President Obama said he believed a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons was possible because Supreme Leader Khamenei said it would be “contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon.”
The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we’re at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal. They should be able to get to yes. But we don’t know if that’s going to happen.

Amazing, isn’t it, how leftists & liberals get to define the Muslim faith?
And he knows this because Valarie Jarrett told him so?
The mullahs determine the fatwas of their so called religion, not a part time madrassa student with no grades.
Can’t he just put a Fatwa (hex-charm-curse) on anyone who makes a nuke weapon? The last I heard...with super-executive-order power, he can do Fatwa curses when necessary.
Islamic spokesmen commonly use taqiyya as a form of ‘outwitting’.
The taqiyya objective is to divert attention away from the subject through duplicity and obfuscation.
Stuck on stupid.
So Pakistan isn’t a Muslim Country Then?
Sure, and I'm the queen of England.

Pakistan has a nuclear weapon. Libya and Iraq tried to obtain nuclear weapons. These are Muslim countries. So why is Iran different. NB: Iran has been designated for decades by the State Department as the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
Pakistan is Jewish, or Tea party, obviously
You know, Like the Kosher deli in France was just a random act of violence, against random people at a random place.
...that the media hyped all out of proportion.
Agreed.
To anyone who still thinks Dorkbama is not a Muzzie, QED.
Hopefully, our military will know what to do when this idiot takes one step too far.
...no history, no medical records, no travel passport log, no best friend, no ex-girlfriends, no published articles, no real name, no SS#, no grades, and-—yes, Virginia-—NO BIRF CERTIFICATE....
No, it’s actually like telepresence; she eats beans and he farts for her.
They get to define EVERYTHING; they control the vocabulary and the medium.
