Obama Doesn't Get Israel Right Because Neither Does Mr. Wright

While delving into these comments from our friend ‘down under,' we find ourselves in similar positions politically, that the American republic and the Australian democracy come under fire for attempting to do the right thing by the citizens who hope to get fair representation. Americans are told every day that the inequities purportedly borne by the minorities are cause for all to suffer under a maligning redirection of the antipathies felt. It is supposed that the same might be said for the aboriginal population of Australia.

Enter the wave of revived Islamic ideologies, from every direction now it seems, and we hear how those of a Muslim mindset are trying to wear the cloak of perceived inequalities when expounding Islamic ideologies in a non-Muslim environment. Then there are those of a fundamentalist mentality that exert overt prognostications that Islam will eventually rule over all. Should the societies of the western European occidental realm be insecure in their posture and allow for an increase of Islamic sensibilities, as they seem to be doing en mass, one wonders if America and Australia are going to be strong enough to maintain their own identities when the time comes.

America has Barack Hussein Obama to lend to the idea that such a shift may already be here if the American liberal machine gets its way. Then being ‘down under' may have its battle cut out for them who must face the major Muslim threat there.

Then again, maybe not, for the true battle is actually brewing in the Middle East, and the politics of the world will find itself facing the true reality, that Islam cannot conquer Israel as the Holy Bible says. Then we will find out how much the truth hurts if we do not pay attention to it.
