I believe that. I became friends with a Turkish man, he was the station manager for Turkish Airlines in Modadishu in 2012 (Oh we had fun getting that ball rolling!). One evening over drinks he was trying to understand how we could elect a black president and went on about how “America is a white country!” and with the current administration, his country was unable to rely on the US as it had in the past and, as he put it, “I’m afraid we will be drifting alliance to muslim countries now.” It really gave me insight as to how the US had been perceived by other countries, many if not most of whom really do place a lot of stock in ethnicity. Well, he said it and they’re doing it. A very interesting time.
Most of the world believe we elected a Muslim President.
He never was Baptized, so I don’t personally believe he has ever converted fully from Islam, which means to me we elected a lefty/Muslim as President and we are sinking for it and the world has done even worse.
Very interesting. And in regards to putting stock in ethnicity I do believe there might be hints in the good book that even God had certain thoughts about it. Er, not to say any one is better than another. But pertaining to how it relates to the proper and peaceful functioning of individual societies.
