Murtadd or not, Barack Hussein Obama is "statutorily" a Muslim.Reader comment on item: Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood Submitted by Joseph Guida MD (United States), May 14, 2008 at 02:48 If one reads between the lines of words spoken by Obama during his campaign thus far, it is intuitively obvious to even the lightest listener that Obama is defensively self-conscious about his Muslim upbringing, is concerned about his being labeled Muslim for reasons of political disadvantage, and continues to prevaricate to protect his campaign. From the Middle Eastern perspective, he is a Muslim BY BLOOD and FOR LIFE, attended a mosque during his formative years, and is using the cover of a Christian as a ruse, plain and simple. If one examines the tenets of faith as espoused by Obama's mentor, one Reverend Wright, it becomes even more concerning that this mentor has influenced Obama with standard liberation theological-like views long held by the black Muslim community in our Country, which are exquisitely similar to, if not directly flavored by, the pillars of Islamic faith, violence and all. Once an unbiased person brings him/herself up to speed on the tenets of these "faiths" by studying Christian liberation theology* and Islam (and this means reading a few books by Robert Spencer, as well as reviewing the Koran, its supporting documents and reviewing a thumbnail history of the necessity of the Crusades and the need for a Crusade of sorts today), Only then does one earn the right to argue that Obama is not a Muslim, either of the Middle Eastern variety or of the Farrakanian variety, Obama would make a terrible US President because: 1. He has an implicit dislike for Israel, as taken from the gist of his comments on Palestine, Palestinians, and his statements regarding his need to sit down and talk with that Jew-hater and murderer Amadinejad once he becomes President. 2.His mentor's desire to "get back at the white community" to compensate for slavery and the current state of the inner city black that he would have you believe has been subjugated by the white race and discriminated against. This would be in keeping with the beliefs, perhaps, of Albert Camus, who believed that the post-revolutionary French underclass was kept "under" by virtue of the aristocracy and not by virtue of a generalized self-inflicted amotivational syndrome of sorts. This unbridaled black backlash would truly represent the "Theater of the Absurd." 3. Obama would dismantle the military, thus leaving our Republic at great risk of damage, and with the seditious and caliphatious desires of so many millions of orthodox Muslims (once you self-educate about Islam, you'll learn that there is nothing radical about them) bent on fulfillment of their dream of a caliphate, do not doubt that the radical left within would unwittingly "team up" with the malevolent Muslims and their supporters from without to destroy not any "twin towers" per se, but this time to decimate the tre' towers of our government, the legislature, executive and judicial, replacing them with Sharia law! 4. Finally (and this being my last...rushed... section, is highly compressed, as I could go on and on with more facts....) Obama is anything but patriotic. That he possesses the hearts of so many left-leaning youth, refuses to voluntarily wear a flag on his lapel, that he and his wife have previously not been proud of their Nation, and that he is so ready to characterize middle America as a gun toting, pickup truck driving, beer drinking crucible of ignorance, is without doubt enough reason for the populace to wake the hell up and see how empty his fragile eggshell mind of politics really is!!! But what surprises me even more is the fact that so many ivory tower professorial types at so many American universities are insistent upon voting for him. These erudite minds have been unwilling to see that Obama offers eloquent speech without substance, There are so many other ways to reward the black race for past inequities that could be so much more meaningful. Why, for God's sake do you want to risk our Nation with such an incompetent novice? Maybe these Einsteins are thinking five to six steps ahead of me. Maybe they want Obama now to demonstrate to the left-leaning 50% of our Nation that it was a Democrat that did such near-mortal damage to our Republic. Surely that would be better that heaping such blameworthiness upon a middle-of-the-road, hero patriot prisoner of war like McCain. Oh what a frustrating political roll of the dice this year will be! God save our United States. ______________________________________________________________________ *Liberation theology is a bastardized theology "extracted" from Vatican II and created by a few Central American theologians in the '70's, namely, a Peruvian Catholic priest, Fr. Gustavo GutiƩrrez, as well as Paul Gauthier, et. al. It was promptly and vehlmently rejected by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who, over the last two scores, wrote and revised the entire Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church and who ultimately ascended to level of pope. Liberation theology combines Marxism with a loosened form of Christianity that was clearly determined to be anathema to the Church's teachings.
