In his regular appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Thursday, Mark Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” noted what he said were absurdities in President Barack Obama’s address to the United Nations.
Obama carved out new territory for a U.S. president during that speech when he said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
“He also said, I believe, that the future belongs to those who empower women,” Steyn said of Obama, ”and the power belongs to those who invest in education.”
“It doesn’t quite add up to me, all this. It sounds like as if he’s saying the future belongs to gay, feminist Muslims. I wouldn’t like to take a bet on it, but I’d bet that he’s wrong on that. The fact is the president of the United States had no business saying that. If you happen to be a believer in Islam, Muhammad is your prophet. If you’re not, he’s just a bloke who died in the 7th Century and it should be permissible to say as much.”
“It’s interesting, this, by the way,” Steyn continued. “The concept — the United States and believe me, I know, because I have a threatened legal suit against me from [Penn State climatologist] Dr. Michael Mann, the hockey stick fellow. And I’ve been through this a number of times in Canada and the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

“And you’re basically free to say what you like about public figures,” Steyn continued. “And Muhammad would seem to me to meet the definition of a public figure — not withstanding the fact that he’s also

I’ve always been a fan of Mark. He would do well as a future Prime Minister for Canada.
Steyn bump.
Don't know what Canada's laws are on this subject but the fact the Steyn lives in NH (or so he's said,for security reasons he might be lying) and that he often fills in for Rush it seems as if he's at least got a Green Card,if not full citizenship.If so that could,depending on Canadian law,bar him from high public office there.
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Obama
Why is this not a Romney ad?
Have you noticed how Hillary Clinton is pushing the 'extremist meme'. It's NOT radical Muslims she's worried about - it's people who (by her definition) are extreme. Clinton sees Christians as extreme... Hillary sees conservatives as extreme.
I pray he'll consider running for Prime Minister...
