President Obama skipped the the traditional Memorial Day visit to Arlington National Cemetery last year, a move that dismayed veterans of the armed forces who felt he was disrespecting America's dead soldiers. Nevertheless, Obama told 60 Minutes that the decision to give Osama Bin Laden a proper burial according to Islamic law was made out of respect to the late Al Qaeda chief's corpse. - VIDEO

And in his prideful victory lap today, he’s painted a big al queda target on Fort Campbell.

Shameful.

If Bin Laden was not a good Muslim, as we’ve been told, and if Bin Laden did not represent Islam in any way, as we’ve been told, then why did we accord him respect according to Islamic law, when it came time to bury him at sea?

If by definition, Bin Laden was not a Muslim in good standing, then how could we think we would enflame tensions in the Muslim world if we didn’t bury him according to Islamic law? This whole thing doesn’t quite make sense.

The peaceful Muslims of the world ought to be happy he’s gone, and to them, it wouldn’t matter how he was buried. Right? ??????

When you add Al taqqiyah to liberal propensity for lying the result is exactly as you described.

once you are familiar with the concept it is quite easy to decypher. Please start from here

"Apply Occam’s Razor and here is what you get: Obama is a Muslim. . . . .

. . at least that's what he told George Stephanopoulous during a Sunday morning, nationally televised audience . . .

I was watching, I heard him say it myself. Georgie corrected him but, yeah, I always make that same mistake myself. Why it was just yesterday that I was telling my neighbor about me being a Hindu. Whoops, I mean Buddhist, well, actually . . . .
