Islam allows Muslims to lie - endorsing this for President?

I am shocked that, despite the facts listed by Daniel Pipes, all of which are very easy to confirm from the Qur'an and Islamic jurisprudence, anyone would still endorse him! It shows the ignorance of many people in this country.

I was born and raised a Christian here in the states, even though my name is Muslim. My parents were hippies and thought it was cool. But still, Muslims are allowed to lie. This is a major principle of jihad. Whatever it takes to increase their numbers, in persons and in resources (financial, supplies, etc), lie to get it. Pretend to make friends with the infidels.

Even American Muslims who refuse to acknowledge the verses of jihad in the Qur'an are infidels. All Muslims must practice physical jihad, not the fluffy, warm fuzzy version of jihad by American Muslims, or westernized Muslims. All 114 verses of peace were replaced by Surah 9:5. Now we are wanting to put into office a man whose family practiced fundamentalist Islam? The kind that terrorists practice? They are the ones who practice Islam as Muhammad did. Muhammad's teachings changed as his numbers increased. What if this was the intent of Muslims all along, to put a Muslim in office? All Muslims must practice all of the abrogated verses of the Qur'an. They have no choice. Anyone who does not is under a sentence of punishment, that typically being death. Obama's campaign is based on Change, but its the kind that very few REALLY get.

I worked for an Arabic pastor for 4 years. It was an Arabic church, and we often had Muslims come, pretending to be Christians. We could easily pick them out and confront them. They want to infiltrate the church.

Now as a Christian, it is my hope that Obama is truly a Christian. But in the mindset of the middle east, he is under a death sentence because children of Muslim fathers do not get the luxury of choosing their religion. He is a fool for placing himself in the spotlight, unless it was the intention of Muslims to place a Muslim in office, having him attend the church, living as a Christian. Who knows. Again, I do hope he is a true Christian. But we could be in for a very interesting and scary 4 years. He needs to step down. It would still be a scary day if Clinton got in, but it would be worse if Obama made it in. God help us all.
