Its no secret that the rest of the world is mesmerized by the phenomenon of Barack Obama. There are two elements to the story arc: one has it that America has finally overcome its legacy of slavery, while another narrative pushes the idea that America is the land of opportunity. But I fear that the Middle East is engrossed in the darker subplots of this story, and what speaks to them about Obamas ascendency has little to do with what is good about America.
Arabs and Muslims dont really care about the odiousness of slavery. Although African-Americans who convert to Islam are beholden to the notion that their new faith is egalitarian, their unpleasant blind spot fudges the fact that the Muslim code, or shariah, never outlawed slavery.
For now, Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East see two things in Obama: to them hes a walking, talking apology, and an infiltrator. Hes an apology for the Bush years; Americas gift basket to the rest of the world for the fault of protecting itself. The hatred that has been whipped up against President George Bush by the Arab mediamuch of it owned and directed by Americas alleged allies, the Saudis and other Persian Gulf dynastieshas been unprecedented, much like the adulation presently, and temporarily, being given to Obama. However, Arab and Muslim fascination with Obama rests on the idea that he is their Trojan horse into the highest office in America, the gleeful whispers describe him at times to be a secret Muslim, and in another light, an anti-imperialist leftist.
Obama will not only apologize for Americas imperial pretension, but shall work to reverse it. So the lofty expectations go.
But there are two powerful opinion makers in the region that cannot afford to do away with the convenience of hating on America and its leaders, and those would be the ruling regimes and their most ferocious enemies, the jihadists. A popular Obama is dangerous since it deprives both camps of a distraction, a focus for white-hot rage; for the regimes, anti-Americanism, like anti-Zionism, is a most useful tool for deflating the wrath of the gathering mob, a mob whose numbers will swell as the world becomes poorer and resources turn scarcer, and oil profits are bled, while the jihadists need the seething anger to enlarge their recruitment pool. The faster that Obama can be turned into a hated figure, the quicker that matters revert to how things were.
Adding to their anxiety is the likelihood that Bushs policy for spreading democracy will be adopted by the starry-eyed Democrats carried into power, albeit with some important modifications, namely on the question of who is an Arab or Muslim moderate. For these newly minted masters of policy, the reflexive and ultimately mistaken answer lies in the ranks of political Islam, and specifically the trunk and many offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, a group feared and despised by both the regimes and the jihadists.
So the task at hand for these regimes and jihadists is to turn any association with Obama into an embarrassment, and that would be by transforming his strengths into liabilities.
And thats pretty easy to do: Obama will be pitched as a proselytizing Christian infiltrator into the land of Islam, rather than a secret Muslim in the White House. Obama the apostate had turned his back on his Islamic birthright and early childhood for the opportunism afforded by Christianity, and that is Americas grand plan for fixing the Middle East: turning it Christianor so goes the conspiracy theory.
History tells us that nothing riles up the masses of Nejd, Damascus, Cairo, and Istanbul like the fear that Christians are out to convert Muslims. It is only a matter of time before Obamas biography, once thought to be the harbinger of international goodwill, will be distorted into yet another reason to hate America.
Arabs and Muslims dont really care about the odiousness of slavery.
No! Really!
Must be since they were the slave traders.... Then
And are the slave traders.... Now

How do you pitch a baby slaughterer as a Christian?
Tell them to get in line.
he’s most likely an atheist that used his ‘church’ for political purposes.
Yes, we know that. And I bet Obama figures it out too — near the end of his second term.
Exactly!!!
Besides, we're talking about liars. Liars can twist anything to suit their purposes.

Obama the Apostate. Well, that didn’t take very long did it. Also hilariously funny, if it wasn’t so damned scary.
As will America.
The rest of the world can go to hell. When has a minority been elected/appointed leader of an "enlightened" European nation? When has a Jew had a leading position in an Arab state?
That’s just great. Not only is he an apostate in their eyes, but a black apostate. I wonder what the terms of our Saudi Masters will be for their oil? Bond market should look very good this year.
I already hate him.
I think his election to office will do unrepairable damage to race relations in America.
With America being 82 percent white and 12 percent black the transfer of wealth will mostly be from white workers to blacks and hispanics.
Whites will come to resent minorities because we will be supporting them. Money that I could use for my family will be going to someone I have never met.
Plus the money that will be used to manage this NAZI like socialism.
Even after the election, there was a black lady on a talk show railing against Whites and the long hill Barry has to climb.
“You White people know you've always been in charge” "Why don't you just admit it?"
The danger is that Obama is the icon of the Left and of the Left's cultural values. The radicals of Islam will not only HATE Obama, but. ..even worst. ..they will not fear him. We are IN GRAVE DANGER, my friends. . .GRAVE.

I have a friend who says Obama’s greatest threat will come from a muslim in this country who views him as an apostate.
This article is spot on.
If Obama, who as a youth, was considered mooselimb, was viewed as a Christian, mooselimbs the world over would consider it a great act to kill him. First it would be an honor killing, second killing the leader of the great satan. This would be better than killing Bush 1 or 2.
But instead the mooselimbs around the world view this as a great victory. WHYYYY??????
HHHmmmmm.... Could it be they view Obama as a mooselimb?
Is it possible Obama is truely a mooselimb, and only attended Wrights church as a cover?
Excerpt from http://islam-watch.org/Warner/Taqiyya-Islamic-Principle-Lying-for-Allah.htm :
The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding. It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.
Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur'an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a religion of peace. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart.

No. That article was NOT spot on.
THIS article was:
Rich Carroll 2008
Visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.
How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States?
As long as it took them to place a Senator from Illinois and Minnesota?
The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit?
The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America?
The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as ‘chaplains’?
Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a ‘freedom fighter’ when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya’s history.
Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile.
Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barack Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question his true ties under the banner of ‘racism’.
Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies.
Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.
Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception, because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen as ‘bigoted racism’; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to be informed of facts.
Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.
Where is the bloodhound American ‘free press’ who doggedly overturned every stone in the Watergate case?
Where are our nation’s reporters that have placed every Presidential candidate under the microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush’s ‘Skull and Bones’ club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work?
Why haven’t ‘newsmen’ pursued the 65 blatant lies told by this candidate during the Presidential primaries?
Where are the stories about this candidate’s cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa? Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent?
Why haven’t they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this ‘out of nowhere’ Democrat candidate or the fact that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his ‘close pastor friend and mentor’ met with Middle East terrorist Muammar Qaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)?
Why isn’t the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?
As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history.
Why has the American mainstream media clammed up on any negative reporting on Barak Hussein Obama?
Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name but never write his middle name? Is it not his name?
Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from mainstream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the truth? Why isn’t our media connecting the dots with Islam?
Why do they focus on ‘those bad American soldiers’ while Islam slaughters non-Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe?
Why does our media refer to Darfur as ‘ethnic cleansing’ instead of what it really is: Muslims killing non-Muslims!
There is enough strange, anti-American activity surrounding Barack Hussein Obama to pique the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA!?
A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the Iranian revolution in 1982. The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum by Mohammed Akram, an operative of the global Muslim Brotherhood. ‘The process of settlement’ of Muslims in America, Akram explained, ‘is a civilization jihad process.’ This means that members of the Brotherhood must understand that their work in ‘America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.’
There is terrorism we can see, smell and fear, but there is a new kind of terror invading The United States in the form of Sharia law and finance.
Condoning it is civilization suicide. Middle East Muslims are coming to America in record numbers and building hate infidel mosques, buying our corporations, suing us for our traditions, but they and the whole subject of Islam is white noise leaving uninformed Americans about who and what is really peaceful.
Where is our investigative press? Any criticism of Islam or their intentions, even though Islamic leaders state their intentions daily around the globe, brings forth a volley of ‘racist’ from the left-wing Democrat crowd.
Lies and deception behind a master plan - the ingredients for ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ or the placement of an anti-American President in our nation’s White House?
Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for President at the same time Islamic Sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United States?
Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to disarm our nuclear capability at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are expanding their nuclear weapons capability?
Is it mere coincidence this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad from Muslim nations?
Change for America? What change? To become another ‘nation of Islam’?

Those who want to tuck tail and skulk away may do so, but I intend Continue to fight, to discredit and try to bring Obama down.
This election was stolen by a Muslim/Marxist who had the power of millions of dollars worth of illegal campaign funds, the most powerful black radical racists, Muslim terrorists and America haters on the globe behind him.
He wont bask in the glory of his victory in peace. We intend to go after him:
