He’s a cultural Muslim, the way someone like me is a cultural Catholic—I left the church but still have the connection in many ways.
His 20 years in Rev. Wright’s church (where he’d have us believe he slept through every sermon, I guess) show his real religion is the Marxist/Black Liberation creed. Marxism has been combined with all kinds of ideas—including Islamic ones—into this kind of loose idea of “black freedom.”
Obama attended Wright’s church because of the need to be part of the culture, so he’d be seen as “one of us” by his constituents when he was a community organizer.
Were he a Muslim he wouldn’t have said the “clinging to guns and religion” line. He believes in some of what Islam says, some of what Christianity says, but don’t tell me you’re a Christian but take 18 months to NOT find a church where you can worship.
He’s an atheist (says this atheist) who has a strong emotional and cultural connection/bias toward black Muslims. His true feelings are obvious—watch how he talks about Islam, and then how he talks about Christianity, if you can find him doing so. He invited gays to the White House Easter event, but not to the Muslim one—pretty obvious who he wants to kiss up to and who he wants to tick off.
Muslims see him as one of the flock because in the political part of the Islamic world—the one we have to worry about most—he basically IS a Muslim, for all intents and purposes. He’s got their back, he FEELS connected to them, even if he doesn’t believe in their religion. It’s an important distinction, and in the end it means he’s on their side.
I would like to see much of Zero's unavailable record. I would add to that list his donations to the church and if at all possible his attendance record. This to me was one of his first lies.
Just as the Christians have their CEO’s (Christmas and Easter Only), Islam has their REO’s (Ramadan and Eid Only). Obama is a REO.
That nails it for me. It should for anyone who has read his first book and paid any attention at all to his campaign for the Presidency and he actions in office.
