So Is Barack Obama a Muslim or What?
American Thinker ^ | 09/21/2015 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 09/21/2015 7:04:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

“The fallacy that President Obama is a Muslim has tripped up many a politician,” said NPR’s Jessica Taylor hopefully on Friday, “and on Thursday night, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump was its latest victim.”

Trump’s presumed faux pas was his failure to correct a questioner who asserted that Barack Obama was a Muslim. Taylor’s real error as a reporter, like that of all her mainstream colleagues, was to dismiss the questioner’s assertion as a “fallacy” without providing any evidence to the contrary.

Strange but true, reporters pride themselves on knowing nothing about Obama’s roots. Last month, for instance, Catherine Thompson of the popular progressive blog, Talking Points Memo, interviewed me about an article I had written on the subject of Republican presidential eligibility.

Weary of her obvious condescension, I asked her where Obama spent the first year of his life. “Indonesia?” she answered. “No,” I said, “Seattle.” I asked her to survey her colleagues on the same question. Not surprisingly, this was the one exchange she edited out of the interview.

Obama’s word, whether on his birth or his faith, is good enough for the center-left media. Although they have chosen to know as little as possible about Obama’s Muslim legacy, the legacy is real. “Barry was a Muslim,” his third grade teacher told the Los Angeles Times in 2007,” and he did, in fact, register in school in Indonesia as one.

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama gratuitously used the Arabic “Andalusia” when referring to Spain. In September 2008, in a conversation with George Stephanopoulos set up to quell such rumors, Obama slipped up and referred to “my Muslim faith” before Stephanopoulos quickly intervened to correct him.

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."... "Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Re: Millions More Movement rally, Oct 15, 2005:

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.] , we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Muslims are allowed to lie to infidels whenever they find it convenient to do so.

So are several RC FReepers, with impunity and regularity.

Not to mention that as a Muslim it is OK to be a liar if it furthers the cause.

"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB’s headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.

There are so many ways to corrupt the bible it makes my head spin.

RE: We don’t know definitively. He was a member of a black separatist group cleverly disguised as a Christian church. That doesn’t make him a Christian.

As I posted above, BOTTOM LINE: He is an ALINSKYITE, a disciple of Saul Alinsky’s RULES FOR RADICALS.

Hence, he will USE ANYTHING, SAY ANYTHING, and take advantage of anything ( including Islam and Christianity ) to advance the cause of big government, socialism and maximum redistribution.

He is also using Christianity as a tool he can use for social change.

I've been providing solid evidence of this for about 8 friggin years now. Yet still there are so many who apparently have no clue! How is that possible??

Every policy of Obamas opposes something in the bible. Everything he says has deceit woven in it. Satan is the father of lies. Nothing about Obama is Christian but you can’t be president unless you SAY you are a Christian.

I think the same evidence can be used to argue that he's a Moslem as to argue that he's a Marxist. (Doctrinally, he can't be both, but that's a technicality.)

I used to think that Sodomite was his most firmly held belief, but he doesn't care about Moslem countries' treatment of homosexuals. Either Islam per se or Islam as a weapon against "capitalist" America is more important than his homosexual allegiance.

I want some reporter to ask him "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your savior and is Jesus Christ the only way to salvation?"

We'll see what happens then...

BARACK OBAMA: "John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith."

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Your Christian faith?"

BARACK OBAMA: "Right - My Christian faith....."

I’ve been waiting for seven years for some candidate to suggest that to a press person: “How would I know, and why are you asking me? If it’s important to you, ask him.”
Good grief. How hard is that?

Huckabee:

President Barack Obama opposes “what Christians stand for” and is “against the Jews in Israel,” but the Muslim community, radical or moderate, knows that it has Obama’s “undying, unfailing support,”

The one group of people that can know they have his undying, unfailing support would be the Muslim community,”

“And it doesn`t matter whether it’s the radical Muslim community or the more moderate Muslim community. He can be defensive of moderate Muslims and still be very, very clear in saying that the fanatical Muslims are the heart and soul of the war that is raging across this world.”

“And unlike what he said — when he said that it was the most dangerous threat in our nation right now in the State of the Union — the truth is he said our greatest threat was climate change,” remarked Huckabee. “... I assure you that a beheading is much worse than a sunburn.”

If Obama claims to be a Christian, would it not be fair to ask if he and Michelle are raising their daughters in the Christian faith and if so, has either one been baptized and in which denomination?
