President Obama in his speech said " The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind."
I really find it odd that neither President Obama nor any of his advisors did not realize that the meaning of verse 5:32 is not clear until it is quoted together with verse 5:33 which follows it:
005.032
YUSUFALI: On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land
005.033
YUSUFALI: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

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.

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.

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.

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 “ ?
