I don't link articles very often.


This one not only raises questions worthy of consideration but it also raises points that I have yet to see raised regarding Obama's background.

I thought the article was fairly written and I seriously hope that some of this site's Obama supporters will address the points raised.

JeffJ,
The weakest part of the article IMO is the worry that Muslim Mutts will want to kill Hussein. They will want to kill any US President regardless of who he/she is.
No more, no less.

That is a salient observation, Chair.

Why, the very mention of Barack's early Islamic training -- or even his Muslim middle name -- has become more sacrosanct a PC no-no than disclosing the race of a non-white crime suspect.


No it is not sacrosanct, it is just played out and a non-issue.

Several of the contentions in this article were debunked months ago when CNN actually visited Obama's so called "Muslim" school and found it was a typical public school with children of all religions attending.

"Yet, that very same day, an op-ed in the NY Times, of all places, also chose to break taboo by suggesting that, as an apostate of Islam, a President Obama might invite assassination at the hands of jihadists."

My partner is Indonesian. His father was Muslim, his mother is Catholic. He and his siblings were raised Catholic. Children of Muslim fathers who are not themselves Muslim are not considered apostate by main-stream Islam. I'm sure radical Islam and jihadists could use that as an excuse against Obama, but, as 101 points out, if it wasn't that it would be something else.

Also, my partner used to occasionally attend prayer services at the Mosque with his father. He still never was and is not now a Muslim.

YEAH!
Especially if you're an Idiot!
But just for giggles, what's the significance of this observation? That it has Never Happened (i.e. a Muslim assassination attempt on a sitting US president)!

YEAH!

It's become not "sacrosanct" to mention the religion of his patriarchal lineage ------------ it's just incredibly Silly sounding when coming out of the same Mouths that Used to Utter "No Religious Litmus Test for Office"!

But please continue entertaining us with clownish posts like this! Maybe a few wont remeber!

Muslim background? How soon will it be before we find out Obama was smuggling cocaine and killing political rivals? In Arkansas??

Not to mention that whole serical rapist thing.

The sad part of this is that there are dumbshits out there that will fall for this type of bullshit.

"They will want to kill any US President regardless of who he/she is."


I always knew that bitch Jodie Foster was the head of some giant Islamofacist conspiracy.

Yo're about as useless as they come politically. I have shown You countless times that this is Bullshit but yet You persist. I am saddened by this JeffJ I relly am. I would have thought You was better than this. Guess not.

Larry Mohr

BTW What IF He was Muslim should that matter?? You right wingers have gone intothe proverbial shitter and You know it JeffJ

From the article.

"We are, After all, at War With Islamic Extremists"

So does that mean that if we were at war with Christian Extremists, the President should be Jewish?
