WND - Obama slips on TV: 'My Muslim faith'

Very, very interesting interview below.

Augusto is from Cuba, and he discusses the similarities between Obama - and Fidel Castro (at the start of his reign in Cuba)

Have you ever heard of the word `al-taqiyya` ?

Within Islam that is used in a not-unsimilar way to what we might term `a little white lie`

(This should now further your understanding on what Ghadafi was saying about the Election)

`Al-taqiyya` (within Islam) means `concealment` - `words from the tongue - not from the heart` - used at a time of great danger.

Understandably, perhaps, Obama would have viewed it to be a time of great danger, seeing as how McCain once sang : `bomb, bomb, bomb Iran`

You will never get a better understanding of what Al-taqiyya means, and how it is used by Muslims than by studying what is stated in the 3 links below which were written by a Muslim from al-Islam.org

Al-taqiyya - Part 1

Al-taqiyya - Part 2

Al-taqiyya - Part 3

http://www.al-islam.org/encyclopedia/chapter6b/3.html

Please note : the above are ONLY Microsoft Words docs online, and they do NOT take you to the website of al-Islam.org

Maybe, I am just being a little paranoid when I say :

Do you remember that very long letter which President Ahmadinejad sent to GWB ?

Were his words to GWB not : `do you not want to join them?`

Was this an invitation from President Ahmadinejad to GWB `to join islam` ???

Letter http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iran/2006/iran-060510-irna01.htm

As is common knowledge, they must give `the infidels` (Islam`s terminology for everyone else) an opportunity to join.

That`s NOT fear-mongering - that is FACT.

President Ahmadinejad closed his letter to GWB with the words :

`Vasalam Ala Man Ataba'al hoda`

It is debateable, of course, what those words mean in English.

An online blogger (on the website below) has interpreted it as meaning :

"Peace only unto those who follow the true path."

Another poster disputes this, and claims that it interprets as :

"Peace be to the one who follows the right/true path."

Finally, and although not directly related to Obama..... but relevant (I think)

Did you ever read this :

http://regimechangeiran.blogspot.com/2005/10/why-havent-we-seen-this.html

That picture, in my opinion, speaks a thousand years.

It was used at President Ahmadinejad`s Conference which was entitled `World Without Zionism` on October 26th 2005 - and the picture was clearly seen on news stream media video footage at the time.

The picture needs NO explanation, nor do the words by Ahmadinejad`s Chief Strategic Guru - and which you can read on the above link and MORE can be read on the link below :

http://www.memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=subjects&Area=jihad&ID=SP72304

IMHO, anyone with a degree of intelligence - and who is capable of doing a simple jig-saw puzzle should by now be asking the question : Is Barack Obama a Muslim ?

Please keep in mind that Ghadafi did say that Muslims around the world were shocked by some of Obama`s comments.

As well they would be, seeing as Obama `APPEARS` to support things like abortion and homosexuality - and as we know only too well, Islam CONDEMNS those.

But..... if you allow for the concept of `AL-TAQIYYA` - then might it not be reasonable to assume that Obama is merely speaking from the tongue - and not speaking from his heart ? In other words : CONCEALING HIS TRUE BELIEFS ?
