Obama Apology to Muslim Women Orchestrated by Muslim U.S. House Rep.(Keith Ellison)
foxnews.com ^ | June 24, 2008 | Chad Pergram

An apology issued by Barack Obama to two Muslim women booted from the front lines of a public appearance by the Democratic presidential candidate last week was orchestrated by Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress.

Multiple congressional sources confirm that it was Ellison, D-Minn., who confronted Obama over the issue during a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus.

Obama called the women to apologize after two volunteers with the campaign removed the women from the stage area behind the location where Obama would be speaking. The volunteers allegedly told the women it was because they were wearing traditional Muslim scarves.

Sources told FOX News that it was Ellison who raised the issue of the alleged impropriety with Obama and provided the prospective nominee with the women’s phone numbers.

One key lawmaker who was present described the exchange between Obama and Ellison as “cordial” but “direct.”

The two Muslim women are pro-radical Muslim activists.

Hebba Aref, was an official of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), in charge of proselytizing. The Chicago Tribune identified the MSA as part of the American manifestation of the Sunni terrorist group, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen--The Muslim Brotherhood. Aref served on the executive board of the University of Michigan-Dearborn's MSA, which demanded and obtained tax-funded Muslim foot baths at that university,

Shimaa Abdelfadeel, the other woman allegedly excluded by the Obama campaign, was chair of SAFE, a University of Michigan-Ann Arbor group that hosted the 2002 Divestment Conference against Israel at which "Annihilate the Jews!" was chanted and Islamic Jihad founder Sami Al-Arian was keynote speaker. She's the author of vehement anti-Israel propaganda.

If Obama is truly sorry he’ll prop Muslims in his campaign scenery.

It’s nice to see the Congressional muslims working together to advance the purposes of the Democrat party.

(do I really need it?)

Wherever there are Muslims, there are also the elements of chaos, anarchy and destruction.

Muslims of a feather...

Ellison and Obama know that the two Muslim women involved are radical Muslims who support Muslim terrorism against our country and Israel.
Where are the journalists with the integrity and courage to tell the truth?

Sadly, they are all dying off.

The Greatest Generation shared the last of honest journalists back in their day.

Everything we face today is a result of the nasty 60's democrats who hate America, Israel and their militaries.

Today's media beast is quite an ugly juggernaut, but thankfully we have talk radio and forums like Free Republic.

Which I've said before and I'll say again was an orchestrated 'rejection' of Muslims to prove to the white liberal common folk that he's not really a Muslim.

He didn't boot them. He PRETENDED to boot them.

B. Hussein has the American Muslim vote. Funny how the Koran forbids Muslims to have anything to do with non-Muslims but stone them, but yet somehow he's 'Da Man' for Muslims.

Isn't anyone but me wondering how that can be?

Obama got dhim'd by CAIR.

Oh, spank me!

Now he will be forced to include hijab wearing women in his visible entourage. Maybe burkas too.

Is this boob in over his head yet?

Wait till the real campaign starts. The RNC hasn't begun. Thay haven't needed to, with these clowns and their self-inflicted messes.

Obama is not a Muslim. But he shares the disdain felt by many Muslims for America and its way of life. He has promised to surrender to Islamic terror in Iraq and take the pressure off terror cells attempting to operate in the USA—he has pledged to stop monitoring their communications, for example. He will get nearly every Muslim vote.

The muslims should realize that Obambi has to lie and deceive the ignorant masses to get elected.

Obama makes a personal apology to these two Muslim women over a slight by his staff, but when his staff slighted the Portland, Oregon Police Department by placing Porta-Potties on the Police Memorial, Obama had nothing to say. It took nearly two weeks for a subordinate to send a letter expressing regret for the slight to the Police Department.

“Obama is not a Muslim”

A lot of people would disagree with you. Me included.

It irks me to think that as a young man, the O-man attended a madrassa in Indonesia, since those schools have all those young boys sitting on the floor, reading the koran over and over in recitation. It incenses me that here, we have someone who ‘was’ a moslem when over there we have seen Nick Berg and others’ heads getting cut off bit by bit—this IS the ‘punishment’ for someone who leaves the moslem faith, just as it is punishment for happening to be captured by a moslem.

Once again, the O-man is laying claim to his privilege of having it both ways.

Friday, 21 March 2008 What Muslim Population Increase Brings Don Morris writes at Doc's Talk (thanks to Janet Levy): ...As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0% Australia -- Muslim 1.5% Canada -- Muslim 1.9% China -- Muslim 1%-2% Italy -- Muslim 1.5% Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2% Germany -- Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom -- Muslim 2. 7% Spain -- Muslim 4% Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France -- Muslim 8% Philippines -- Muslim 5% Sweden -- Muslim 5% Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10% India -- Muslim 13.4% Israel -- Muslim 16% Kenya -- Muslim 10% Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40% Chad -- Muslim 53.1% Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70% Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4% Qatar -- Muslim 77.5% Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83% Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza -- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1% Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92% Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97% Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90% Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100% Somalia -- Muslim 100% Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj"...

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

Obama was listed as a Muslim. On his birth certificate attended a madrass, did poorly in Koran studies (See dreams of my Father), and beleives that the eveing call to prayer is one of the sweetest sounds in the world, But he shares the disdain felt by many Muslims for America and its way of life. He has promised to surrender to Islamic terror in Iraq and take the pressure off terror cells attempting to operate in the USA—he has pledged to stop monitoring their communications, for example. He will get nearly every Muslim vote.

There, fixed it

He is the ultimate trojan horse.
No one in the US would think that common purpose and underground Islam would have the audacity to try and get one of their own in the worlds most powerful hot seat, would they?
