Whoops! Looks Like Jews Just Got Demoted. And Tricky Baricky Never Heard of Legal Jihad.Reader comment on item: Barack Obama and Islam: An Ongoing Saga Submitted by Sofa Sogood (United States), Jan 21, 2009 at 14:39 Whoops! Looks like Jews Just got Demoted. It was always Christians and Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists (and others sometimes). At his inauguration, meaning right from the beginning -- to set out right from the start what's important -- after announcing that he was going to use the name Hussein -- the very second thing he does regarding religion in this country is to announce "We are Christians and Muslims -- space -- space -- (a pause long enough to make people wonder if that was it, and then, finally) -- Jews and Hindus. (Sorry Buddhists and others -- nothing for you). Hmmmmm. He's showing us that he can do whatever he likes and get away with it. And he can. Yes, he can. All those months accusing anyone of the most vicious nastiness, who might even mention that the name "Hussein" is Muslim, or his Muslim background or connections -- the very first things he does -- Everyone has a right to be proud of their heritage, I guess. Why then, didn't he use "Hussein" when he was running, or talk about his Muslim upbringing, and instead attacked anyone who mentioned either? I don't think Romney was trying to hide that he was Mormon. Surely, that was discussed in the Press ad infinitum. Why didn't Hussein Obama say "We are Christians and Muslims -- and, uh, uh, oh, yes, Jews and Hindus too," while he was running? The answer is that he feels Americans are "bad" to vote based on what they think is important, when he considers those judgments "bad." So he decides -- as I'm sure he will more and more -- what's "bad" or not, and when he doesn't like what we think, he'll just lie and trick us. That way he'll "teach" us to be good. Whatever he (and Michelle) think is "good." It's really hard for anyone to doubt that he has this sort of arrogance -- actually, much of his chatter has been about Americans learning to overcome their badness in various ways. (He reiterated in his speech that Americans must not consume so much of the world's resources -- whatever that means -- but don't worry, he'll decide for us how much to limit our consumption to achieve showing the world we are no longer as "bad" as we've always been.) To make sure that voters have little information about who and what they are voting for, he says different things to different groups and different things at different times, and feels no qualms, with a bare-faced, "sincere" face, to simply deny everything. He has said (regarding his Harvard days) that different people tend to project their various beliefs onto him. He neglected to discuss the fact that that's because he says "different" things -- or just stays blank-looking enough so they suppose he agrees with them. That's a great deal of what has gotten him where he is. Hard to say how much longer he can or cannot get away with it, with our MSM brain dead. Let's see how it works overseas. Has anyone ever heard him use the term "Radical Islam" or "Islamist?" I don't recall hearing him use those terms. How about Stealth Jihad or Legal Jihad? Will these terms, and along with the words the concepts, become illegal "hate speech?" Can we count on more and more massive immigration from Muslim lands and along with that many changes to our laws to accommodate their pushing to dominate our way of life? Can we count on the violence that usually comes along with that -- then, of course, to be termed "terrorism" without the "Islamic" part? After the Anti-Semitic demonstrations that went on easily all over the country in the last few weeks, now Anti-Semitic remarks and discourse have become, as had been the case not so many decades ago, just par for the course. For sure this will increase and intensify. We might very well see the return of Jews being socially ostracised with that affecting employment opportunities or residence availability, along with even more violent attacks, which will remain unclassified as hate crimes as they are in Europe -- for Jews alone. Just listed instead as "teenage violence," etc. After the verbal violence and very threatening style the recent demonstrations took, with the many Leftists who partook, the ice has been broken. We can count on more and more demonstrations -- by Radical Muslims and Leftists -- especially as our President will consider their demands in the realm of the "good" more and more. And since there is no word expressing the idea of Stealth or Legal Jihad, we can count on more and more Islamists in positions of power in our government during the next four or eight years. Slowly, slowly changing our laws. At what point there will be a showdown of sorts -- or not -- is hard to tell. But Change is definitely on the way.
