Right. But both Wright and Obama - while being formerly muslims (which IMHO is where their sympathies come in) became followers of liberation instead.

I haven’t seen much that shows Islam to be a collectivist religion. There may be some aspects of it that are, but liberation is purely about the collective and not about the individual.

Of which both Obama and Wright clearly espouse. They love collectivism.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Fooling infidels is allowed. Even encouraged, no?

In any case, do some research into black liberation theology.

It all fits.

Everything Obama’s been doing fits within the realm of oppressor and oppressed, and that’s exactly what liberation is all about.

I hadn't thought about it that way. Come to think of it, the differences may be more rhetorical than real. The practical outcome of collectivist systems is the establishment of a strict ruling order, supposedly temporary on the way to a classless utopia. That ruling class, the apparatchiks in Russia, directs those below.

In Islam, the ruling class is theologically based, but in many ways the effect is the same. The higher up on the tree you are, the more powerful your fatwas, and the non-clerical have to abide by it. The courts, too, are ruled as much by whimsy and connection as by law, under both systems.

Both systems are totalitarian, with an emphasis on "total", ven though the narrative is different.

The Queen of Jordan wears western clothes. She dons a scarf when entering a mosque. Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco also wears western clothes.

He is a Muslim.

Think about it. Would the Imam ask O to become the Caliph of all of Islam if they did not KNOW that he is a Muslim?

The Caliph is the top spot in all of Islam in the line of Mohamad himself.

Born a Muslim to a Muslim father.
Anyone that leaves Islam is subject to the death penalty.
Qadafi, a Muslim, called 0bama “our son”.

He’s not a convert. He’s a Muslim.

Michelle’s wardrobe is about the only disaster Obama hasn’t blamed on George Bush.

LOL - Perfect!

Like he has any control whatsoever over the "queen"....

Would anyone with any eyesite at all, be happy with how the little tin god's "queen" dresses????

But....she is the visual image of all the harm the little tin god has done since being voted into office.

So....just use the "queen's" dress habits to get a visual image of the little tin god's (and all the liberal dem's) many failures since coming to power.

Of course he’s not a Muslim. He’s most likely an atheist who uses religion to advance his political agenda.

Yes, and it is also known that these royal wives spend a fortune on clothing when they visit the West, so I don’t see any contradiction between Obama’s being a Muslim and MO’s style of dress.

In any case, I doubt very much that he has the ability to tell her what to do. That said, I think that one of the things that may be keeping Obama from making a proclamation that he is a Muslim is that Michelle probably is not a Muslim and doesn’t want to be one. This is not because she’s a Christian, but simply because even she must realize that women are nothing in Islamic society, and while she might be able to continue to dress the way she wants, she probably wouldn’t be able to swan around and do all the other things she likes to do.

I absolutely agree with that. Michelle is her own boss. She will not be controlled.

Would he let her dress like that?

The question is, does he have the balls to try and stop her from dressing any way she wants?

The answer to THAT question is obviously HELL NO!!!

If Michelle woke up one day and decided Obambi would give his next press conference in a pink diaper with a bib and flower bonnet, there would be bleeding eyeball around the world within the next 24 hours.

The clothes don’t mean that much.

I worked with two Muslim women a few years ago. One, judging by her accent, was obviously an immigrant, and wore Western style business clothing. The other was American raised, judging by her accent, and wore a scarf, long sleeved blouses, and long skirts.

I don't think it signifies anything.

I went to college with a woman from Saudi Arabia. At college she wore jeans and t-shirts and had her hair down.

Her father came to visit from time to time and wore a suit.

She told me that there was an unspoken assumption between the two of them that she would always be veiled if she was back home or if they were meeting other relatives, but that "when in Rome" applied with strangers overseas.
