Obama Muslim Controversy
WDEF news ^ | June 19, 2008

The Obama campaign is apologizing to the Muslim community.

That's after campaign volunteers moved two women wearing traditional head scarves out of a rally camera shot.

Candy Crowley has the details.

When two young muslim women wearing headscarves, were told recently they could not sit behind Barack Obama at this rally......it raised questions in their community.

"It speaks towards a bigger issue as far as the pervasive Islam phobia that is in our society that two Muslim females would be turned away

"He has affirmed his Christianity but he has not explicitly to our knowledge come out and and say well this islamaphobia is wrong it's it's unamerican."

OBAMA DOES NOT ALWAYS WALK BOTH SIDES OF THE LINE BUT HE HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MADE THAT POINT. "It's not just that I'm a Christian and so these emails are misinforming people. They're also feeding on anti-Muslim sentiment and that's also wrong."

IT IS, IN THE END, HARD TO MAKE HISTORY WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT IN THE CROSSWINDS.(same article)

Like Yeah Obama, you don't want to be caught in some Political Crosshairs

This whole thing has the smell of something staged so he can come out of it smelling like a rose.

This could definitely turn out to be a Big Bag of Popcorn and a several beverages (of your choice of course) event.

Can't wait to see how he and his Marxist handlers/advisers worm their way out of this one, but I predict they will cajole, make promises, issue threats; whatever it takes to make the Moozies go away and NOT force his hand to include head-covered females in the background at the next event.

Can only hope it has some legs.

“phobia that is in our society “
It wasn’t our society that kicked them out. It was the Obama campaign.

A phobia isn't healthy... pure, unadulterated revulsion however, is... and it shows a healthy, non-violent response to outside threats.

It was Obama’s controlled and canned campaign that is underway.

Phobia? Isn’t that rich! THEIR ‘religion’ declares war on
civilization but they can’t fathom why ‘our society’ feels negatively about it, and Muslims??
Gee-hatred, terrorism and declarations of death and destruction for all those who won’t ‘submit’ to Islam- doesn’t equal rejection of all things Islamic?
It does in my book.
These are some twisted, evil people. The whole damned cult.
Infected with evil down to their DNA.
And Obama Hussein IS one of them.

I think that if Obama is serious about this, he should sit down with muslim groups, talk about his politics and televise it to the general public.

Shhhhhh , no one must draw any conclusions that Obama has Muslim background

We can not feed the muslim phobia that was created on Sept 11, 2001.

I was posting on a “Don’t vote for Obama” type email group and everytime I type Obama my spellcheck tries to ask if I mean “Osama”.

I swear that is a sign.

Malik holds a photo of Obama and him in Muslim dress, reportedly when the two first met in 1985 Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to refer, because they have no doubt -- contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate was raised a Moslem. http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12918.htm

“Send him back to the Madrassa where he belongs.”

Maybe somebody knows...how do you become a certified, can’t-quit-even-if-you-want-to Muslim? In Catholicism, you partake in a confirmation ceremony around the age of 12 or so. If it’s apostacy to leave the Muslim faith, how is that door closed? Did Barry do enough to close the door by virtue of having attended a madrassa, and does that mean that any Joe Abdul can cut his head off? Can we get a fatwa on this? Anybody?
