“The Prophet himself also had diplomatic ties with adherents of other faiths,” said NU chief Hasyim Muzadi on Monday. He said Obama had shown good intentions in efforts to improve ties between the US and Islamic world.

But conservative Islamic organization Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia said on Tuesday that it rejected Obama’s visit, claiming it was aimed only at boosting America’s economic interests here.

The whole point is that Bambi is not an "adherent of another faith." He's a Muzzie.

That's why his odious wife, whose only good point is that she is apparently having too much fun being Ms Kool to want to put on the chador and become a Muslim, is not going with him. If she did, the Muslims in these places would have a serious grudge against him because a Muslim man is not supposed to be married to an infidel.

They can have him. I’ll pay good money for them to keep him there.

“The Prophet himself also had diplomatic ties with adherents of other faiths,”

So why doesn't our Dear Socialist follow that example and develop ties to any non-Muslim?

Hey Indonesia, did you know Obama was a Muslim once? Now he says he’s a Christian. You all know the penalty for leaving Islam. Not that I’m advocating anything bad of course.

“The Prophet himself also had diplomatic ties with adherents of other faiths,”

Just so. First Muhammed swore a peace treaty with the Jews of Medina. But when it was convenient and he no longer needed their support, he broke his solemn oath and killed or enslaved them.

Then Muhammed returned to Mecca and swore a solemn peace treaty with the Infidels of Mecca. But when it was convenient and he no longer needed them, he broke his oath and killed or enslaved them.

Muhammed's journey to Medina and back to Mecca, known as the Hegira, marks the start of Muhammed's career as Prophet and Conqueror. It is celebrated yearly and deeply admired by the Mohammedans.

In other words, Allah calls on the Muslims to make treaties with Infidels, and then to break them as soon as it is convenient, as part of a pattern of confusing and conquering your enemies. Breaking your solemn oath to an infidel is a virtuous deed.

Obama is under pressure from colleagues in his own party to ditch the revised trip to Australia, Indonesia and Guam because they fear it will torpedo their landmark healthcare bill.

Why shouldn't they do a Kabuki dance for president Obama, he is a Muslim and they are Muslims. Connect the dots.
