President Barack Obama rejects allegations that US at war with Islam
Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | April 6, 2009 | Toby Harnden

Posted on 04/06/2009 7:36:07 AM PDT by Schnucki

President Barack Obama has declared that "the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam" and spoken of his "deep appreciation for the Islamic faith" in a speech to Turkey's parliament.

"So let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam," he said.

Many Americans "have lived in a Muslim-majority country – I know, because I am one of them" Obama, on the first stop of a two-day trip to Turkey, his first as president to a Muslim country, said earlier that the U.S. and Turkey can forge a "model partnership"that bridges the religious and cultural divide between the western world and the predominantly Muslim east.

The US leader was introduced to the parliament as "Barack Hussein Obama"

In a speech that celebrated the cultural ties and shared history between American and Turkey, Obama said their alliance has made the world "more secure." He pledged to give U.S. support to combat the "terrorist activities" of the Kurdish separatist movement, the PKK, winning applause from lawmakers. The U.S. is prepared to be a partner to help work through the issue of Armenian massacres in 1915, and "strongly supports" Turkish membership of the European Union, Obama said.

"Our partnership with the Muslim world is critical," he said.

President Obama urged Turkey to speed up liberal reforms aimed at bringing the Muslim country into the European Union.

Obama said during a speech before parliament that Turkey had made progress on freedom of expression and minority rights for ethnic Kurds, but said Ankara should press on with reforms.

Turkish entry talks with the EU have been held up by European concerns over human rights, a perceived lack of progress on reforms, and by a long territorial dispute

Would you expect less from a Muslim?

If he bowed down any lower to a Muslim King, he'd have fallen over. All of the sudden PROPER etiquette kicked in. How amazing! With "white folks" he couldn't be more insulting in gifts or more casual. Obama is a Muslim and a racist.

Yes ...

The US leader was introduced to the parliament as
“Barack Hussein Obama”

Now it’s okay to acknowldge his MULSIM heritage.

The odd thing is even the Taliban can’t figure out what a “moderate” terrorist, er Muslim is and calls it “lunatic”.

Many Americans "have lived in a Muslim-majority country...

It's a small sample so it may not be representative, but all of the dozen or so people that I know who have lived in a Muslim-majority country (and, in fact, were born and raised there), have left and come to America to get away from religious persecution or spousal abuse that they suffered at the hands of that Muslim majority...

Very few have said that the US is at war with Islam. The mortal danger is that very few realize that Islam is at war with the US.

"So let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam,"

Oh yeah!! Maybe not officially. However, these people are already creating problems in some sections of the country. I cannot imagine that we, as a people (if not as a country), would not resist efforts of people who are alien to this nation and its customs and who attempt to demean women by making them subordinate to men, force them to cover themselves from head to foot, refuse to allow them to drive automotibles, etc, etc. Citizens of this country who do not fear and who do not resist this kind of behavior frighten Hell out of me!!!

“How would he attack him self? Since he is a goat loving mooselimb.”

He is leaving the U.S. open and vulnerable to attack.

He has deep cuts in the military, Intelligence, nuclear arms and wants to disarm us of our guns. He wants the U.N. to make world decisions - they're a bunch of terrorists or sympathizers of terrorism. Let's not forget "immigration reform" which will allow our borders to be more open and take on more shady people. It is known that terrorists are crossing our borders daily. Obama is going out of his way to recruit MUSLIM staffers in D.C. for "diversity" reasons of course. He's doing to us what the UK allowed and now it is a mess there. How much more obvious can it be?

I gues sit’s just an odd coincidence that all those terorrists we’re at war with are Islamic then. I suppose it has nothing to do with their radical Islamic fundamentalist views.

We may not be at war with Islam. Even President Bush refused to call it that, but preferred the vaguer term “War on Terror.” And after we were attacked, he made a special point of inviting Muslims to the White House to celebrate Muslim holidays.

But Islam is at war with us. And they have been at war with the entire civilized world for 1400 years, more or less, ever since Mohammed took off on his spree of killing, raping, and enslaving everyone within reach.

Yes, Holy Hussein is a Muslim, and has always been a Muslim. And he took great pleasure only a year ago helping his cousin Railla Odinga burn churches and murder Christian women and children.

Easy for him to say that, since any Muslim-majority country he lived in, he was part of the majority.

There can be no moderate Muslims if they believe in the Koran:

Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27)

“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).

“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193

Quran 3:28 Don’t have unbelieving friends unless it is to deceive them. Remember the final goal is to Allah.

Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS

“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

Obummer needs to go back and take a long hard look back at the photos and resumes of the twenty hijackers who blew up the World Trade Center buildings and part of the Pentagon on 9/11. Either Obummer is a naive patsy or he’s a Manchurian candidate. No third explanation is possible.

Islam is at war with th US and western society, but Omama says it’s not a war if we ignore it and don’t fight back.

That might have worked 150 years ago when Islam was confined to poor, desert places and could not reach us. It is a suicide attitude when Islam can reach our biggest and richest city and kill thousands (9/11). Omama is a fool and having a fool as president will subject America to death, destruction and economic ruin.

"So let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam," he said.

Zer0bama ignores the fact that Islam is at war with the world.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
