Obama Says U.S. One Of The Largest Muslim Countries In The World
A few weeks back, Obama said America is not a Christian nation. Now, in an interview with the French newspaper "Le Monde," Obama said, "...I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam," and claimed, "If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world". During a conference call in preparation for 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." In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, Obama said "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them." Then, in Strasbourg, Obama said, "I think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and George Bush is not president, al-Qaeda is still a threat and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything's going to be OK," he said. These comments never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign, when Americans were labeled bigots and racists even for mentioning Hussein's middle name. The candidate was even offended when referred to by his initials "BHO," because he considered the use of his middle name, "Hussein," an attempt to frighten voters. Well, now it looks like Obama is finally coming out of the closet. Obama says it loud and says it proud. The middle name that no one dared to speak during the election campaign is now front and centre in Obama's attempt to suck up to the Muslim world.Of course those of us who have been well informed on this matter aren’t at all surprised. After all, Obama only hid his past when he was running for the Oval Office. |
