I thought it was curious back in April when Michelle Obama did not join Barack Hussein Obama on the last leg of his European tour, when he hit the Muslim portion of his apology tour. ("We seek
broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will
seek common ground.We will be respectful even when we do not agree").
Now, Michelle did not join Obama on his Middle East tour. Why? Why isn't Michelle Obama in Saudi Arabia? She'll be in Normandy. She is meeting up with Hussein on Friday -- so what's up with that? Is that a Muslim husband thing?
By Rachel L. Swarns Malia and Sasha Obama will fly with the first lady to France on Friday to
join President Obama for a family weekend in Paris, a White House official said
on Wednesday. It will be the girls’ first foreign trip since they moved into the
White House in January.
[...]
Mrs. Obama will have one public event in Normandy, France on Saturday, but
the rest of the family trip will be private, the official said. There will be no
official announcements outlining their sightseeing
plans.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the head of the snake in the global violent Islamic supremacist war. They are our mortal enemy and committed to our destruction. "International law enforcement authorities and Western intelligence agencies discovered a twenty-year old document revealing a top-secret plan developed by the Muslim Brotherhood, the oldest Islamist organization with one of the most extensive terror networks in the world to launch a program of “cultural invasion” and eventual conquest of the West that virtually mirrors the tactics used by Islamists for more than two decades" (more here). And according to Article Two of the Hamas Charter: “The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in "Palestine" (more here). The Organization of the Islamic Conference is the brainchild of the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR in the USA has been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is acting to overthrow democratic governments world wide.
A sign that the Obama administration is willing to publicly challenge Egypt's commitment to parliamentary democracy: various Middle Eastern news sources report that the administration insisted that at least 10 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's chief opposition party, be allowed to attend his speech in Cairo on Thursday. The brotherhood is a Salafist/ Islamist party with branches in many countries, and it does not have a reputation for liberalism and has supported violent campaigns against Israel (and Egypt's own government). It has deep roots in the region and traces its intellectual lineage to Sayyid Qutb, a top American-educated Islamic intellectual who was executed -- or martyred -- by the Egyptian government in 1966. The Brotherhood has direct links with Sunni groups like Hamas in the Palestinian territories. Its standing in Egypt has suffered as of late because of a crackdown by the Egyptian government and a growing frustration that it is too conservative (anti-women's rights, the whole gamut) for a modern Middle East. Still, it's the largest Sunni opposition party in the world, and it's clear that the Obama administration wants to engage the Sunnis -- even the less moderate Sunnis -- in his "Mutual Respect" tour. Hoping to tamp down criticism that by speaking in Egypt, Obama is giving legitimacy to Hosni Mubarak's quasi-dictatorship, the administration also invited leading human rights activists to the speech.
In 1924, in an attempt to remove the political, violent, barbaric aspects of Islam from Islam, the secular Turks abolished the caliphate. The Muslim Brotherhood was born to keep Islam pure and violent. This Islamic "revival" entered into the movement phase in the middle east by establishing "Al-Ikhwan Al-Moslemoon" (Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt, 1928.
Robert Spencer describes the MB as an international Islamic organization dedicated to the imposition of Sharia, by violent or peaceful means, throughout the world.
UPDATE: Commenters are squirming. Hmmm,,,.... so according to the left and their lapdog tools, if Bush does it, it's a bow, but when Obowa does it, it's a ...............
On the eve of Obama's groveling tour to Islam, Osama Bin Laden lays down the law.
For all the mentally challenged liberals buying into the blatant and sick lie that there is no war, only an "overseas contingency operation," and there are no terrorists, just "man made disasters" ....... Osama Bin Laden is here to remind you, he's coming to git ya, suckers!
Following are excerpts from an audio-tape by Al-Qaeda Leader Osama Bin
Laden, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on June 3, 2009.
Osama Bin Laden: “...by ordering Zardari and his army to prevent the
people of Swat Valley from instating Islamic law, by means of killing, fighting,
bombing, and destruction. This led about one million Muslims – women, children,
and the elderly – to flee their villages and their homes, and they have become
homeless refugees living in tents, after having led honorable lives in their
homes.
This simply means that Obama and his administration have sown new seeds that
will increase hatred and vengeance towards America. These seeds as are many as
the number of refugees from Swat Valley and the tribal areas in north and south
Waziristan, as well as the number of their sympathizers. By this, Obama is
following in the footsteps of his predecessor, increasing the enmity of the
Muslims, as well as the number of fighting enemies, and initiating prolonged
wars. The American people should prepare to continue to reap what the leaders of
the White House are sowing, in the years and decades to come.
[...]
Asif Zardari and Ashfaq Kayani have continued to divert the [Pakistani] army
from its main missions – the defense of Islam, its followers, and its land. They
have pushed the army to fight Islam and its followers. They have directed it to
fight and kill the Pashtun and Baloch tribes. Most of the Pakistani people
reject this oppressive war. Zardari did this in response to the people who pay
him in the White House – not 10%, but many times more.
This is high treason against the [Islamic] nation. I’m not just saying that
in this war of his, he has exposed the economy of Pakistan to the danger of
collapse. There is something even more important and dangerous. In this war of
his, he is jeopardizing the religion, security, and unity of the people of
Pakistan, by implementing an American, Jewish, Indian conspiracy. Thus, it is
easier for India to bring the disintegrating Pakistani provinces, one after the
other, under its influence, just like in the case of the former East Pakistan,
or even worse. This will alleviate the American concerns about the Pakistani
nuclear weapons, and India will join it in its fight against the
mujahideen.
[...]
I would like to address a few words to America. Some reasonable and just
people in research centers there may deduce from this what leads people to fight
America and take revenge upon it, while what I say is completely ignored by
those agents of the large corporations in the White House. I say that the free
men who carried out 9/11 had not tasted the bitterness of being driven from
their homes and their lands, to be sheltered by tents and beg for food. But
these 19 men heard that this oppression was the lot of their brothers in
Palestine, at the hand of the Zionists, using American weapons. Therefore, they
left their schools and their universities, at the first opportunity to support
the oppressed over there, and to punish the oppressors in America. So how would
they have acted if they had indeed suffered these catastrophes?
THE PRESIDENT: What I want to do is to create a better dialogue so that the Muslim world
understands more effectively how the United States but also how the West thinks
about many of these difficult issues like terrorism, like democracy, to discuss
the framework for what's happened in Iraq and Afghanistan and our outreach to
Iran, and also how we view the prospects for peace between the Israelis and the
Palestinians.
The Muslim world does not care about the way we think. They want us to be Muslims.
THE PRESIDENT; Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and
the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam.
Educating ourselves more effectively on Islam? If Americans
would do that, one of two things will happen. They will start blogs
like mine or write books like those of Bat Ye'or, Spencer, Bostom, etc., or they will
convert to Islam. That is the truth.
PRESIDENT: And
one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of
Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.
And so there's got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between
the two peoples.
Indonesia: 200 million Muslims. India: 156 million Muslims. Pakistan: 150 million Muslims. United States: 2.3 million Muslims.
Q You're always speaking about dialogue. How can you
do that with the young people who sometimes are very tempted by extremists?
Does you -- as, you know, kind of a new President of the United States, what do
you want to tell them, the young people?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know,
I think the most important thing I want to tell young people is that, regardless
of your faith, those who build as opposed to those who destroy I think leave a
lasting legacy, not only for themselves but also for their nations. And the
impulse towards destruction as opposed to how can we study science and
mathematics and restore the incredible scientific and knowledge -- the output
that came about during centuries of Islamic culture --
What output? Obama is revising history yet again. The Pope quoted a 14th
century Byzantine Christian Emperor as saying: "Show me just what Muhammad
brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such
as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Q Do you think
it's easy, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: -- I think that has to -- I
think that has to be lifted up. And you're seeing some countries I think that
are making more investments in education. I think the importance of educating
women has to be something that's emphasized. If you look at indicators of human
development across the board, those where girls are getting a chance for an
education end up being more economically productive.How to reconcile this with
some of the traditional values and norms of Islam, that's not for me to dictate,
but certainly I think it's something that can be accomplished, and I want to
encourage that.
America built those schools for girls, pious Muslims are bombing them. That's what Obama calls "reconciling the traditional values and norms of Islam"? Burkas and bombings? How vile. He goes on to say it's not for him to dictate (submission), but he thinks he can dictate the expulsion of Jews from Jewish homeland?
Q When I met you on the campaign, you were telling me
that you wanted to organize a Muslim summit. Do you still have that in
mind?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, this is a start of what I think
will be a long-term process. We'll have a speech, we'll have a roundtable
discussion. It will give an opportunity I think for people around the world to
engage in this discussion. It will be telecast in a wide variety of languages
on our White House Web site, whitehouse.gov. And my hope is, is that as a
consequence you start seeing discussions not just at the presidential level, but
at every level of life. And I hope I can spark some dialogue and debate within
the Muslim world, because I think there's a real struggle right now between
those who believe that Islam is irreconcilable to modern life and those who
believe that actually Islam has always been able to move side by side with
progress.
Show me in history with whom Islam moved side by side.
The United States and the Western world must learn about Islam, and indeed
if we count the number of American Muslims, we see that the United
States is one of the largest Muslim countries on the planet," he
said. Interview with French LaMonde. (hat tip
Boquisucio):
As Obama embarks on his much lauded (compliments of a dhimmi press) trip to address the Muslim world from Egypt (where 95% of the women/girls have had their clitorises cut off), select members of the mainstream media are surprised by Obama's pre-election deceit about his Muslim background and family.
That
said, Barack Obama went to a madrassa in Jakarta. A madrassa in a
Muslim country. Whether he was devout or secular, he knows what was
taught. He knows what is in the Koran. Even if he is ambiguous, he
knows the stakes involved. His father was a Muslim
who took three wives (without divorcing). His stepfather and close
members of his family are devout Muslims. Not an unimportant influence.
Every Muslim who left Islam is very definitive about leaving and why. They are quite vocal -Wafa SultanAyaan Hirsi Ali,Walid Shoebat, Elijah Abraham, etc. If he left Islam, Obama must have very definite thoughts about it. He has to,he practiced Islam.
That is not benign; it's big. And even if, as inferred by big media, it
was not big to him, then he can still appreciate how important it is
knowing what he knows about Islam and apostasy.
Obama would have had to make a decision to reject Islam. When did he make that decision? How? Why the silence? Why the reluctance to talk about it?
I am not a racist. Tough to prove a negative. But I refuse to dhimmi
down and STFU. Too much is wrong. Obama's narrative is being altered,
enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts. The web is being
scrubbed of Obama's ties to Islam. But America will know the truth,
even if the mainstream media refuses to touch the third rail. The media is already in full spin mode. The racist charge is fallacious - Islam is not a race, but why split hairs, right?
America should be skeptical. America should question - intensely. We are in the fight for our lives against an enemy who has vowed to destroy us. Good faith is not good enough.
My objective is to unearth Obama's relationship to Islam. Islam is a political ideology and it is
incompatible with democracy.
Mosques are being used to electioneer for Obama. Arabs and Muslims in Islamic countries endorse Obama. Unindicted co-conspirator and Hamas sympathizer CAIR endorses him.
Why would they endorse an apostate? There is no record of Obama ever
having been baptized. Did he leave Islam and become Christian?
It was taboo. I was "fear mongering". When Obama's Islam was discussed, it was romanticized. When he told Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times "the prettiest sound he [Obama] ever heard was the Muslim call to prayer at sunset," it was the epitome of multicultural tolerance, despite the barbaric intolerance of Islam.
When his anti-semitic, anti-American pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright was exposed as a member of the haters, the Nation of Islam, prior to his leadership of his Black Liberation church, the mainstream media yawned. Obama was never vetted, his lies never exposed. And so we have our first Muslim presidency, fresh on the heels of 911. The motor of this presidency is submission to Islam and the conversion to a communist economy.
Today Jake Tapper over at ABC News broke the mainstream media taboo and actually stated the obvious.
The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that
never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election
campaign.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama's trip to Cairo,
Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser
for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said "the President himself
experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to -- or before he's
been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world -- you know, growing
up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father -- obviously Muslim Americans (are) a
key part of Illinois and Chicago."
Given widespread unease and prejudice against Muslims among Americans,
especially in the wake of 9/11, the Obama campaign was perhaps understandably
very sensitive during the primaries and general election to downplay the
candidate's Muslim roots.
With insane rumors suggesting he was some sort of Muslim Manchurian
candidate, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his campaign did everything they
could to emphasize his Christianity and de-emphasize the fact that his father,
Barack Obama Sr., was born Muslim.
The candidate's comment at a Boca Raton, Florida, town hall meeting on May
22, 2008, was typical: "My father was basically agnostic, as far as I can tell,
and I didn't know him," he said.
In September 2008, candidate Obama told a Pennsylvania crowd, "I know that
I'm not your typical presidential candidate and I just want to be honest with
you. I know that the temptation is to say, 'You know what? The guy hasn't been
there that long in Washington. You know, he's got a funny name. You know, we're
not sure about him.' And that's what the Republicans when they say this isn't
about issues, it's about personalities, what they're really saying is, 'We're
going to try to scare people about Barack. So we're going to say that, you know,
maybe he's got Muslim connections.'...Just making stuff up."
Back then, the campaign's "Fight the Smears" website addressed the
candidate's faith without mentioning his father's religion:
"Barack Obama is a committed Christian. He was sworn into the Senate on his
family Bible. He has regularly attended church with his wife and daughters for
years. But shameful, shadowy attackers have been lying about Barack’s religion,
claiming he is a Muslim instead of a committed Christian. When people fabricate
stories about someone’s faith to denigrate them politically, that’s an attack on
people of all faiths. Make sure everyone you know is aware of this
deception."
The website also provided quotes from the Boston Globe and Newsweek
mentioning his father's roots.
Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat
abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president's
roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world.
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama referenced
how many "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim
majority country. I know, because I am one of them."
For Barack Obama, it is an ember that he has doused
time and again, only to see it flicker anew: links to Islam fanned by
false rumors, innuendo and association.
And the praise he received Sunday from Minister Louis Farrakhan,
leader of the black Muslim group Nation of Islam, prompted pointed
questions during Tuesday night's presidential debate and in a private
meeting over the weekend with Jewish leaders in Cleveland, Ohio.
[...] The Democratic candidate says repeatedly that he is a Christian who
took the oath of office on a family Bible. Yet on the Internet and on
talk radio, and in a campaign introduction for Republican candidate
John McCain this week, he often is depicted, falsely, as a Muslim with
shadowy ties and his middle name, Hussein, is emphasized.
"If anyone is still puzzled about the facts, in fact I have never been a
Muslim," he told the Jewish leaders in Cleveland, according to a transcript of the private session.
Is it any wonder that Obama will not stop in Israel as he bounces around the Middle East?

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
