You know what's "funny" is that Obama's supposed Muslim ties have been mentioned in hundreds/thousands of FR threads and tens of thousands of FR posts going back to 2007. I've yet to see a single FREEPER bring up the "no religious test for office" to apply to either Islam or Obama's Muslim ties.
How conveniently inconsistent.
(Nor have I seen the self-appointed "bigot patrol" rush into those same threads to accuse posters of engaging in Islamic "bigotry"...more hypocrisy on the loose)
Well, since there are at least two Muslim members of Congress and Lord knows how many in state and local office, it would seem to be a moot point, nicht wehr? I’m burning your straw men as quickly as I can with this Bic lighter, but I sure could use a flame thrower.
BTW, there’s no “supposed” about it. Mr. Obama recited for Mr. Kristof the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer. The opening lines of the Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, translated, read as follows, with each line repeated twice:
“Allah is supreme! Allah is supreme!
Allah is supreme! Allah is supreme!
I witness there is no God but Allah.
I witness there is no God but Allah.
I witness that muhammad is his prophet…”
Kristof said Obama recited the prayer “with a first rate accent.”…New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof
Sincere recitation of the Shahada is the sole requirement for becoming a Muslim, as it expresses a person’s rejection of all other gods.
Not.
