I don’t find it odd at all, it is just words. He doesn’t believe half of what he says, he just reads it from the teleprompter.

The Quran is the blueprint for the "Religion of Peace".

Quite a book that Koran, huh? Here's some more that'll probably make you shake your head in wonderment:

The Strange Teachings of Muhammad

But his *listeners” know the rest of the verses.

What if he is “giving signals”?

[at this point, having witnessed all his other treachery, *nothing* seems too “impossible” or “crazy” to me]

We must recognize that 0 is aware of the entire scripture. By quoting that particular passage he fully intends to express the full meaning of the scripture.

Death to the infidels is its mandate. Killing one infidel is tantamount to killing all. Similarly, saving the life of an infidel is the same as failing to kill all infidels.

As a man who was brought up under the tutelage of the Koran we can expect that his scriptural choices are fully intentional. It is inconceivable that he intended to support Israel or the US with these words.

I wonder sometimes if he a) writes the speeches himself (/s) or b) even reads the speeches before he takes the stage. You can tell that when there is a blink in the teleprompter, he has no idea where to take the speech. I don't think he has any clue on what he is going to say until it is flashed on the teleprompter.

I think this is very interesting. It is likley that his audience on the Arab Street would understand it the context of v33 and opposing Israel where as Western audiences would not.

Think about that. Obama is essentially affirming Islam's violent opposition to Israel to a Muslim audience.

BINGO! Very disturbing.

He’s reading what someone else wrote. But he KNOWS what it all means. He’s well versed in Islamic teachings. He’s a muslim. It’s scary that so many people in this country are so blind. Or they know he’s a muslim and didn’t think it mattered.

My benchmark 0bama supporter stated, before the election, in response to 0bama being a Muslim, “but we need to learn to get along with Muslims”.

The whole “conversion, subjugation, or death” thing just went in one ear and out the other.

He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Just like it was a “mistake” to publish all our nuke info online. Yeah, riiiggghht.

[Delta 21]

I think he thinks he knows what he wants to do.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Not just the Koran, but, the “ Holy “ Koran.
Pronounced with his usual flair when it comes to Muslim countries and words.

BTW-Has Obama ever used the term “ Holy Bible “ ?
Or “ Holy Talmud “ ?
