A Matter of Who Believes Obama is a Muslim


By Douglas V. Gibbs

A recent Pew Research poll determined that nearly one in five Americans believes that Obama is a Muslim. Terrorism perpetrated by the Islamic Jihad connects being a Muslim with terror. Most believe that if there are moderate Muslims, those people will still accept a worldwide Muslim caliphate should the violent arm of Islam succeed in their quest. Therefore, being a Muslim, should President Obama be such, carries with it a very serious connection to an enemy that desires the destruction of America, and worldwide domination.

I wonder how many of those people that fall withing the 18% of folks that believe Obama is a Muslim answered the question in that manner not because they assume that Obama believes that he is a Muslim, but because they recognize that the Muslim World believes that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Obama holds the Muslim faith close to his heart because Islam played a dominant role in his life as he grew up. His father was Muslim. His step-dad was Muslim. He lived in Indonesia where Islam played a significant role in the culture, and is now the dominant ideology in control of that region. But, Obama is more Marxist than he is Islamic, therefore he sought out religious connections more in tune with his true nature. Hence, the reason he attended a church that taught Black Liberation Theology led by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

In Islam, there is no partial acceptance into Islam. Either you are a Muslim, or you are not. Either you are a brother in the ideology, or you deserve to lose your head.

Barack Obama's father was a Muslim. That is all that is necessary for the Islamic community to determine that Barack Obama is Muslim. The mother does not matter, since women are second class to them anyhow.

If having a Muslim father makes Obama a Muslim in the eyes of Islam, then either he is still a Muslim, or he is not. Either they see him as a partner in their "struggle," or they see him as an apostate who dared to leave Islam.

In Islam it is fully acceptable, and even encouraged, for someone to lie to gain benefit for Islam. Muhammad taught that treaties are temporary lies necessary to gain footing, and that acting in a manner that looks as if one accepts and lives in peace with one's adopted country or region while holding hate and determination to destroy the host society in one's heart is not only fine, but an important part of the strategy of spreading Shariah law globally.

Obama, in the eyes of the Islamic World, is doing just that.

Barack Obama, himself, is an attention hound, and one who wishes to be looked upon favorably by everyone. He will do whatever it takes to get along with everyone he encounters. This is why the conservative Right befuddles him. Despite all of his attempts to lure the Right into his lair, he can't get us on his side, so out of frustration, he attacks with verbiage that accuses the GOP of being the "party of no," or the conservatives of being unwilling to participate in the kind of change he is promoting for the sake of party politics.

Islam, however, is easy to appease, and give concessions to, and Obama does so at every opportunity. Remember, he feels a connection, a certain kinship, with Islam that is rooted deep in his heart. He may not believe he is a Muslim in the literal sense, but he does believe he is a partial Muslim because of his childhood. He doesn't understand, I believe, that he can't be a partial Muslim in the eyes of Islam. Either he is all in, or all out. Islam believes he is all in. The American People are beginning to believe he is more Muslim than he claims. Obama, with each concession, is pulling himself, and America, into the arms of the enemy. . . and ultimately his communist side, and his Muslim side, will reach an impasse, and he will need to decide which he truly is.

Right now, however, despite however many Americans believes Obama is a Muslim, and despite whether or not he thinks he is a Muslim, the Islamic World views Obama as a Muslim, and that, my friends, is a very dangerous thing to be.
