Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Obama’s approval rating higher among Muslims than any other religious group

Jul 11, 2014 10:47 am By Robert Spencer

obama wide-grin_1548848iThis couldn’t have anything to do with Obama’s foreign policy aiding the agenda of Islamic supremacists around the globe, could it? This couldn’t have anything to do with Barack Obama’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and for pro-Sharia jihadists in Libya and Syria, could it? This couldn’t have anything to do with Obama’s manifest hostility to Israel and the sweetheart deal he gave to the Iranians over their nuclear program, could it? Nah. We all know that Muslims in the U.S. are all “moderates”!

“Obama approval high with Muslims,” by Jonathan Topaz, Politico, July 11, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):

President Barack Obama’s approval rating is higher among Muslims than any other religious group, a new poll says.

According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.

Mormons were the least approving religious group, with 18 percent of Mormons approving and 78 percent disapproving of the president. Mormons in the past have ranked as the most conservative major religious group in the U.S.

The survey underscores a religious divide when it comes to presidential approval — Obama is more popular among non-Christians and less popular among Christians.

Those who classify as “Other non-Christian” gave the president a 59 percent approval rating, while Jewish Americans gave Obama a 55 percent approval rating and atheists or those who subscribe to no religion have a 54 percent approval rating.

Catholics, on the other hand, have only a 44 percent approval rating of Obama, compared with 51 percent disapproval. Protestants and other Christians are more critical, with 37 percent approving and 58 percent disapproving….

      A post-modern president for post-modern delusionalists. Motto: “Whatever?”

      So much for objective, critical thought. “Whatever?”

    And they say we Jews are smart!

    Pathetic.

      Still 55 percent of us support the bastard. What are they thinking?

      Either we will all hang together or we will hang separately.

      Obama is an enemy of the Jewish people who would have Israel completely destroyed to give the Muslims “justice”.

        Obama certainly does not appear as a friend of Israel. American Jewry is not feeling particularly Jewish. Will that change or will the trend continue even as anti-Semitism grows?

        JUSTICE???
        Obama double-standard response

        THREE ISRAELIS (Obama helplessness & what are we to do attitude)
        Only the minimum expected offered.
        http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/06/30/obama-calls-deaths-of-israeli-teens-senseless-act-of-terror/

        ” President Barack Obama said Monday that the U.S. condemns killing of three Israeli teens, calling their deaths “senseless act of terror against innocent youth.”

        Merely — SENSELESS as in ‘who is to be blamed?’

        —— “The Obama administration is condemning the killing of a Palestinian teenager as a “despicable act” and is calling on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.”

    He’s certainly earned his low marks with Christians. This Catholic is repelled by him, and by nominal Catholics who are in his camp–Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

      Oh, I mustn’t forget John Kerry.

        Or Kathleen Sibelius.

    Good for the Mormons. Now, if they would only send Harry Reid out to be a missionary to–Somalia, say, or Sudan. Or Libya.

      Yemen, maybe. Afghanistan.

    What brain dead group apart from the Muslims who approve him more!! Maybe these guys should convert and join the ranks!!

      Obama doing a deep bow to Saudi king.
      Such a ‘nice touch’ to display to Muslims their ‘superiority’.

    Thanks for the info, JW. Keep up the good work! Obama is a traitor and a LIAR!

    I am dying to see a US president who cares so much about the Christians, Jews and other religious groups around the world that the Muslims will never like him even if their lives should depend on it.

    The fact that Obama is so popular with Muslims is the biggest admission ever that Obama is one of the greatest traitors in history.

    Birds of a Feather?
    I had hoped President Obama would come out as an atheist.
    I certainly would be disappointed if turns out Obama is a Christian, but terrified if he is really Islamic

    • John C. Barile says

      Jul 11, 2014 at 6:03 pm

      He’s an Islamochristian–a nominal Christian when he snookers authentic Christians he considers to be rubes, and a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father when he’s among Muslims.

      • Jay Boo says

        Jul 12, 2014 at 2:43 am

        Maybe Obama could call his Muslim relatives in Kenya to take polygraphs about the recent terrorist attacks there.

  9. Luo Ge says

    Jul 11, 2014 at 7:05 pm

    This result is hardly surprising, as Obama us one of the few public figures willing to display a Christian attitude towards Moslems, as opposed to the so-called Christian leaders who display only hatred.

    the Jews need to wake and get a clue. obama may be just the person to do some head chopping when it comes to the Jews and the same for Christians. I will tell the Christians and the Jews and any body else that reads this that stand with obama ._______ OBAMA WILL NOT AND I REPEAT THIS OBAMA WILL NOT GET YOU IN TO HEAVEN.
