What if Barack Obama were a real Muslim ? ( How the left thinks )
The Japan Times ^ | May 16, 2008 | TOM PLATE

Posted on 05/16/2008 6:52:23 PM PDT by george76

A significant number of West Virginians (and some others in America) evidently take the view that U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim.

In a surpassingly depressing report from the coal-miner state on the eve of Tuesday's West Virginia primary, The Los Angeles Times noted voter views that go like this: "We do not need a Muslim to lead the good ole USA."

It would not necessarily be so horrible if this well-spoken senator from Illinois were in fact Muslim. It turns out that most Muslims, like those in the country with the world's most Muslims (Indonesia), are wonderful people who respect Allah, respect their countrymen, abhor violence and extremism, and generally would make excellent next-door neighbors.

Very early in his life, Obama lived in Indonesia, before he returned to his native Hawaii, so he had met a lot of them. As a result, he doesn't think many Muslims are so terrible. That's because most Muslims, in fact, are not terrible — no more terrible than the rest of us, Christian or otherwise.

If the American president were in fact a Muslim, you must understand that more than 1.2 billion of the world's Muslims would want to vote for him.

What Muslims want to behead him? I know under Sharia Law they should for coverting to Christianity, but I haven’t heard of any that want to. Do you have a source for this?

By Sha’ria law he’s muslim, but my problem with him is that he’s an incompetent ass. However, it’s too hard to create a portrait of ‘racism’ from a pallet containing nothing BUT incompetent ass, so the author obviously needed to stretch himself. This article should worry the Japanese. They’re a heckuvalot more pragmatic than most of us are so it probably does. That is a relief.

I have found all Muslim countries wanting Obama for President, and they think he will be a patsy for them, and that he will add to the Muslim take over of America.

Until they behead you and stone your daughter.

"west virginia racists think obama’s a muslim."

That should read, "West Virginia racist DEMOCRATS think obama's a muslim."

They would be right.

And they are right. All of America's enemies love bambi and want him to be our president. That was also true for lurch.

All moslems, if they are true followers of islam:

If he was ever a moslem and converted, he is open game for any “true” moslem and should be killed. As a matter of fact, the koran states that to even attempt to prevent assassins from killing him is an offence to allah.

Maybe many are, but not all. He conveniently neglects to mention the Bali bombing.

Well, it would be horrible to then elect a liar, who has been saying all along that he believes in Christ. If that is a lie, everything is suspect.

Yes. Any apostate from Islam must be killed. This is true in all Muslim countries, and generally true in other countries if the person in question is widely known to be an apostate, such as Salman Rushdie.

So, the question arises, how come Muslims everywhere just love Obama? He visits their countries, they hug him, and dress him in Muslim garb. Could it be that he is telling them something that he isn’t telling us?

I think so.

I’d rather not find out for sure after he gets into the White House.

Then let us all hope that Mclame (sic) wins. At least he has no ties to Islam (that we know of).

Other than having played a big part in setting up independence for the Muslim Kosovars, according to several sources.
