Hahha chickens comin’ home to ROOOOOST!
When the first terrorist attack hits America during his Marxist regime, I'm sure 0bama will blame the Elbonians.
Hum, Reverend Wright said the “Chickens have come home to roost”, and we know what he meant now.
Nothing to see here, move along. This is commonplace. As a matter of fact, I am sure you could dig through the web archives and find the one they sent Bush.
They hate apostates with a vengeance. Barry better be careful. And as far as their “nice” congratulatory note is concerned, he should look up the word “Taqqia”. That means that if it’s meritorious for Islam, they can lie through their teeth.
Can we please not use President or President-elect in the same sentence as 0bomaination?
Might even see the same from Iran, North Korea and Cuba.
Putin may even chime in.
Obama was a Muslim in Indonesia and now he is a Christian....doesn’t that put him on the Islamic hit list? I think they call it a fatwah or something like that.
Not surprising!
Muslims are so amusing.
Normally, yes...
However, no matter HOW the Marxist-in-Chief buys the farm, the "authorities" will pin the deed on a "white-Supremacist Evangelical" who was "driving a white van" (HELLO, CHIEF MOOSE!)
Ummm, I do believe it’s in the Quran that it is expressly forbiden for a Muslim to convert to Christianity like he confesses he has done, punishable by death.

Oh crap. I just got a freakin hernia from laugh so hard and falling to the floor.......
no doubt ‘allah be praised’ .... etc. etc. etc.
And if successful ...
Jerusalem divided.
About 7 years later ...
Armageddon.
Bank on it.
Just wait and see who and how many people from Blagojecich, Sami al Arian, etc are going to get pardons.
“Can we please not use President or President-elect in the same sentence as 0bomaination?”
I agree! I move that from this point on Odumbo will now be referred to simply as “Zero”.
Do we have a second on that in the house?
I took that challenge. You can look for yourself, but there aren't any for either the 2000 or 2004 elections. In 2000, there was complaining about anti-Muslim bias. In 2004, there was one talking about how 93% of muzzies supported Kerry. But no congratulatory press releases for Bush.
CAIR is the political wing of Hamas.
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” — Omar M. Ahmad, Chairman of the Board, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Conference in Freemont, California, July 1998.
“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future...But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.” — Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR Spokesperson
“I’m in support of the Hamas movement.” — Nihad Awad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Barry University in Florida in 1994

No, we can’t. The chosen one is to be referred to as “comrade president”, “lord master”, “chieftain”, or “your majesty”. Failure to comply will result in being turned in to the truth squads (A.K.A.- The ministry of truth).
Disgusting organization. When have they ever sent a notice to anyone that they were willing to work with them.
The first Muslim elected to the United States Congress is a Democrat from Minneapolis with ties to an Islamic group that supports terrorism and a radical cult whose leader says God will destroy the entire white race and establish a paradise nation ruled by blacks.-------- "CAIR's Congressman," Little Green Footballs, Wednesday, November 08, 2006Minnesota’s new Representative in the House, Keith Ellison, was endorsed and partly financed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a massive U.S.-based organization that avidly defends Osama bin Laden and other militant Islamic terrorists and considers U.S. action against terrorists anti-Islamic. In fact, the group demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing bin Laden as “the sworn enemy” because it was “offensive to Muslims.” Ellison, who converted to Islam as a 19-year-old college student, also has strong ties to the Nation of Islam, the black cult led by renowned anti-Christian and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. The group’s doctrine states that black people created white people in a genetic experiment 6,000 years ago and that “Judgment Day” means that the Gods will destroy the entire white race (devils) and establish a paradise nation ruled forever by blacks.
As if this weren’t enough to question the choice of Minnesota voters, as a state legislator Ellison supported and defended a convicted cop-killer and leader of a violent gang. Ellison used thug-like language to attack law enforcement officials as racists saying “we don’t get no justice, you don’t get no peace.” Ellison also supports and demands freedom for another convicted cop-killer named Assata Shakur, who lives in Cuba and remains on the FBI’s most wanted list.

1999 : (CAIR'S LEADERS DESCRIBE THEIR MEDIA INTIMIDATION TECHNIQUES IN INTERVIEW WITH SAUDI WEEKLY UKAZ) In an interview with the Saudi weekly Ukaz in 1999, CAIR leaders discussed the organization's manipulation of the press under the headline "A Muslim America - Only a Matter of Time." One leader stated openly, "We control the media instead of the media controlling us." CAIR's founder, Nihad Awadh, described techniques utilized by the group's spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, to infiltrate the press: "You will be surprised to hear that all his articles do not go through censorship and correction in the big papers," Mr. Awadh said.
A CAIR leader added, "CAIR [exerts] today an organized and educated effort, using American media techniques and exploiting American legal loopholes...For example: One of the editors of the American monthlies attacked the Muslims...Answering these allegations, CAIR convened a press conference and recruited all Muslims to call the monthly in every communication method, and we paralyzed the paper's interests, and the man [the editor] was forced to apologize...We exploit this position whenever someone else rises up to attack Muslims, and present to him what happened to those before him, and then he retracts...This method has gained us great achievements and stops serious attempts to attack Islam."
