Obama said: “Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, ‘let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.'”
That saying comes from this hadith:
It has been narrated on the authority of ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Abd Rabb al-Ka’ba who said:
I entered the mosque when ‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-‘As was sitting in the shade of the Ka’ba and the people had gathered around him. I betook myself to them and sat near him. (Now) Abdullah said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey. We halted at a place. Some of us began to set right their tents, others began to compete with one another in shooting, and others began to graze their beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) announced that the people should gather together for prayer, so we gathered around the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: It was the duty of every Prophet that has gone before me to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them and warn them against what he knew was bad for them; but this Umma of yours has its days of peace and (security) in the beginning of its career, and in the last phase of its existence it will be afflicted with trials and with things disagreeable to you. (In this phase of the Umma), there will be tremendous trials one after the other, each making the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they would be afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring about my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be afflicted with another trial, and the believer would say: This surely is going to be my end. Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them. He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the piedge [sic] of his hand and the sincerity of his heart (i. e. submit to him both outwardly as well as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his capacity. It another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter. The narrator says: I came close to him (‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-‘As) and said to him: Can you say on oath that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart and said: My ears heard it and my mind retained it. I said to him: This cousin of yours, Mu’awiya, orders us to unjustly consume our wealth among ourselves and to kill one another, while Allah says:” O ye who believe, do not consume your wealth among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on mutual agreement, and do not kill yourselves. Verily, God is Merciful to you” (iv. 29). The narrator says that (hearing this) Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-As kept quiet for a while and then said: Obey him in so far as he is obedient to God; and diqobey [sic] him in matters involving disobedience to God. (Sahih Muslim book 20, no. 4546)
Immediately following the passage Obama quoted comes an exhortation to obey the caliph and to behead rival claimants. So embedded within the very same passage that Obama was using are endorsements of ideas that Obama would probably reject as having nothing to do with authentic Islam. It is extremely unlikely, of course, that Obama has seen this passage, but his (i.e., his speechwriters’) use of this quotation follows the same pattern as his use of Qur’an 5:32: he quotes selectively (although no Muslims are accusing him of “cherry-picking”!), ignoring inconveniently violent passages that are right next to the passage he quotes.
Is it not extremely telling that Barack Obama, in making the case that Islam teaches peace, can’t find even a few passages that are unequivocally peaceful, and instead has to grab his peaceful passages from amid exhortations to violence? Doesn’t that tell us something about Islam as a whole — something that Obama and the Western political and media establishment will never tell us?
From Obama’s speech last Wednesday at the Islamic Society of Baltimore:
So let’s start with this fact: For more than a thousand years, people have been drawn to Islam’s message of peace. And the very word itself, Islam, comes from salam — peace. The standard greeting is as-salamu alaykum — peace be upon you. And like so many faiths, Islam is rooted in a commitment to compassion and mercy and justice and charity. Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, “let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.” (Applause.) For Christians like myself, I’m assuming that sounds familiar. (Laughter.)
Lee says
Islam does desire peace. The problem there is the means to peace, much like the Communist idea of peace, is the eradication of any opposition. If there is no opposition, well of course there is peace.
What Islam wants is there to be none but musslemen left on earth.
You’re either in the house of peace (Islam) or the house of war (anyone not in Islam). If you’re in the house of war, you are a target infidelity worthy only to be killed. That’s the Muslim view.
seasun says
What about Somalia,Yemen,Iraq or Afghanistan?They’re all nearly 100% muslim and yet the least peaceful places on earth.
Cunamarra says
You forget the morality of Islam. You are either not Muslim or not Muslim enough. There is always a justification for bloodshed and brutality because that is the answer for every offense.
gravenimage says
Yes–the “peace” of Islam is always, shall we say, elusive–even in places where all other faiths have been long since eradicated. There are always other sect Muslims like Shia or Sunni. or just the presence of the “insufficiently Islamic”.
In places like Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia, the “insufficiently Islamic” might even be other Jihadists.

Champ,
If he really put faith in Christ, which is what Christians do, he would not mock Christ and he wouldn’t quote the unholy book with *reverence* as he does, he wouldn’t call it *holy* as he does and he wouldn’t be visiting the barracks of the people who are all for killing Christians and Jews. He was mocking Christ when he said what he did and the way he said it was to get a laugh…which he did. He makes me ill and angry
The Bible clearly says that the “anti-Christ” denies Christ. By doing all of what he does, o denies Christ and encourages the “celebration* and *elevation* of those who have made themselves enemies of Jesus Christ. o thanked them for being moslim…adhering to the unholy, disgusting evil.
Christians are warned by Christ Himself not to fall prey to the “many false Christs and false prophets” that would come forth in these “last days.” (Matthew 24)
We must keep pointing to the Truth. Thanks for hanging in there. Hope your grand baby is doing well.

John Stefan Obeda says
What does God teach us through His faithful apostle Paul in the following words? “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial (or Beliar)? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God.” (2 Cor. 6:14-16b (NIV). These words from God to Christians teach us that by what we do and do not do must not give the impression to anyone that one religion is as good as another. In this matter Obama sins (and, since I’m on the subject, so does the Pope and many others these days). Note: The Jews used Beliar as a title for Satan. That fits well here. Allah and Muhammad are of Beliar, satan. A faithful Christian would not worship with those of Beliar, satan.

Mr. Obama should know how his prophet attacked the carnivals and stole their merchandiser and kill them and now he is proud of this liar and thief.it is a shame.

But the passage isn’t the Golden Rule at all…this passage refers to Muslims only, not the Universal Law of Reciprocity. It’s merely a call for Muslims to end their civil war against Muawiya and uses Mohammed as an authority greater than Muawiya the caliph.
There is no Golden Rule in Islam because a dirty Kafir is never the equal of a Muslim…all Muslims know that.
Obama is showing himself as a bonehead to all Muslims. They are laughing at him! He hasn’t done the readings on Islamic foundational source texts. Obama hasn’t a clue what they mean. Obama is clueless about Islamic supremacism. There is NO EQUALITY in Islam and the Golden Rule depends on equality.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Like the Kremlinologists of old, Koranologists will apply this presidentially-quoted passage to current events. Its “first Caliph wins” principle means that since Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of ISIS has proclaimed himself Caliph, if Turkish President Erdogan tries to also proclaim himself as a neo-Ottoman Caliph, Muslims should rise up and behead Erdogan:
“I[f] another man [Erdogan] comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his [al-Baghdadi’s] authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter [Erdogan].”
Wellington says
If Obama didn’t know the entirety of this hadith yet quoted what he did from it, then shame on him.

mortimer says
He’s shown he considers himself an expert on Islam…he is lecturing Muslims about the ‘real’ meaning of Islam, and yet, he has not read or studied the source texts himself.
How does that make Obama an expert on Islam? It doesn’t.
Obama uses the prestige of his office to give BS credibility. It’s the fallacy from authority: ‘Believe this, because I have an impressive title.’
Screeminmeeme says
How do you know that he hasn’t read or studied the source texts himself? Why would you assume that? And in light of the Islamic teaching about deceiving the infidel, why would you think that he wouldn’t lie to the American people by picking and choosing the so-called ”peaceful” parts of Quranuc/hadith and not include the violent ones?
After 7+ years of following Obama’s pro-Islamic actions and rhetoric, anyone can see where his loyalties lie. And yes, he’s clearly using his authoritative position as POTUS to ”teach” Americans about Islam, and it’s nothing but lies, propaganda and disinformation to lull us into accepting the Islamization of our country.
He’s hoping that we will acquiesce to Islamic demands to change our culture.
I for one will not.
Jay Boo says
Obama and others like him certainly know enough about Islam for their deliberate actions to be treasonous.

That parenthesized glyph following “Messenger of Allah” means “(peace be upon him)”.
ECAW says
Thanks. I was wondering what the reference was.
Mu’awiya was the one who fought Ali for the caliphate, starting the Sunni/Shia split (may their house ever be divided). This hadith sounds like Shia propaganda doesn’t it, though it’s a bit confusing since (I believe) Muslim was a Sunni. Anyone know the details?
mortimer says
Robert Spencer wrote: “Obama, in making the case that Islam teaches peace, can’t find even a few passages that are unequivocally peaceful, and instead has to grab his peaceful passages from amid exhortations to violence?”
Obama hasn’t read these passage himself nor has he studied them nor did he write the speech. The passages at best were cherry picked by someone with little Islamic knowledge or cynically by someone who knows exactly what they mean…as Spencer points out: the passage is about loyalty to the caliph and civil war between Muslims at the time of Caliph Muawiya. Muslims should be kind to other Muslims and not fight them. Many scholars feel that Islam didn’t not exist at the time of Muawiya. I’m surely ISIS uses this text in the opposite sense to what Obama means…ISIS wants other Sunnite Muslims to stop fighting them!

Stop it and calm down. Obama is certainly not ‘satan’. Obama is quite naïve and uninformed about Islam and hasn’t taken the time to learn Islam’s dualistic doctrines…such as ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ (Islamic apartheid).
‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ ENTIRELY RULE OUT Obama’s interpretation of this passage. There is no equality in Islam between a dirty Kafir and a Muslim. But Obama has not heard about Al Walaa wal Baraa. One of his staff should tell him about it.
The passage above does not mention kafirs at all. Kafirs have no rights, but privileges only, under Sharia. Kafirs are barely tolerable in an Islamic state.

Carolyne says
I agree with Champ. Obama is not naïve. He is a Muslim and he is doing exactly what his religion calls him to do. In his instance, I believe his duty as a follower of Mohammed is to destroy the US and install Islam, thereby making it a part of the wish of Muslims since the beginning, a world wide Grand Caliphate. And because there are people who fail to realize or admit the truth, he is successful.

Mortimer, Obama had a Muslim father and step-father, spent a significant part of this youth in a Muslim country, and attended Mosque and Qur’an class.
Chances are he knows a lot more about Islam than does most of his staff–likely including tenets like the one you cite.

He is an antichrist but not THE Antichrist. See 1st John 2:18-23. Anti means against;in opposition; in opposition and against the truth of Jesus’ teachings.

Alec Rawls says
There is a crucial difference between the golden-rulish quote as Obama translates it and the translation in the full passage that Robert cites. Here is Obama’s version of the supposed words of Muhammad: “Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, ‘let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.’”
Here is Robert’s cited version of the same Hadith: “Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them.”
Obama’s version says “treat people,” where Robert’s version says “treat THE people” (emphasis added).
“The people” would seem to be a reference to other Muslims, to the Umma, as was the subject of the supposed remarks: the trials of the Umma. Here Muslims are to be merciful to each other, which obviously does not preclude their being “hard against the unbelievers.”
Verse 48.29 of the Koran instructs both. I call verse 48.29 the Islamic law of hate. The Christian law of love tells people to love ALL neighbors as themselves. This is the usual interpretation of the parable of the Good Samaritan, though not the only possible interpretation (it can also be seen as calling for discernment as to who is acting like a neighbor, using the Samaritan as an example). In contrast, Verse 48.29 calls on Muslims to love their Muslim neighbors while hating everyone else.
This Hadith that Robert and Obama cite would seem to be the same in this way as 48.29. Can Robert please clarify whether this is the correct interpretation of the Arabic grammar? Is the full quote properly read as using “the people” to refer specifically to other Muslims? How clear is it that this is NOT a call to be loving towards all neighbor’s, regardless of whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim (as Obama clearly meant to pretend)?
dajjal says
Robert’s hadith is second in the serps:
http://sunnah.com/search/?q=%22treat+people+as%22
I was not able to find an exact match for Obamination’s quote.
Note however, the first result which treats according to social status. The third seems to duplicate the second.
48.29 effectively puts the lie to the quote.
I do not recall where I read it, but it was written that Jihad is a mercy to kuffar ‘cuz it might lead them to embrace Islam, saving them from the fire. What Muslim would not like to avoid the fire?
Westman says
It’s just a similie of the old quran 5:32 head fake, ignoring what comes after.
The “people” in this Hadith are THE PEOPLE of ISLAM, ONLY. This was tribal society, POTUS is forgetting the slaves, the subdued jizya payers, and the murdered. This mendacity has reached elephantine proportions. And like dunces, we voted for him.
But I am confused about why a previous Muslim, an Apostate, is quoting a Hadith. Leaving a religion means you no longer believe it to be the correct religion. According to the four schools and the clerics of Al-Azhar, that is a fatal choice with Islam and the ultimate insult by a Muslim. Quoting questionable Islamic ideology, in its support, as an Apostate, seems rather inconsistent.
Does anyone actually know if President Obama actually recited the Shahada to be Muslim?
Does anyone know of a Muslim-to-Christian convert in Israel who is quoting the Quran or Hadiths to sell the fake “golden rule” of Islam?

“Trump talks a lot, however, about making “deals”….Is that where we really want to go?”
On his defense (for the record, Trump isn’t on my top 3 candidates), he did wrote “The Art of the Deal“. In there it reads “My style of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Sometimes I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want”. In the context of the Iranian deal, it would seem that the Iranians read that while Obama smoked pot and Bibi smoked terrorists.

Panmelia says
Exactly so, MP. The hadith says “should treat the PEOPLE as he wishes to be treated by them”.
WHAT people? Other muslims of course, no one else. Those of other faiths or none are certainly NOT included in this doctrine.
The muslims spent hundreds of years going through settled nations of Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhist and pagans like a dose of salts, treating them like dirt, to be conquered, slaughtered, raped, tortured, enslaved. Those who surrendered were given the choice of convert to islam, become dhimmis and pay burdensome taxes for being allowed to live, or die by the sword on their necks. (Beheading was favourite then, as it still is today. You can see how far muslims have progressed.)
The Crusades were an attempt to roll back this onslaught on peaceful Christian countries, and many other battles were fought to prevent the barbarians from conquering Europe. Think of El Cid in Spain and other brave men who gave their lives in the battle of Poitiers in France and at the Gates of Vienna.
It is because of those long ago battles that we in Europe are not muslims today.
Islam weakened in the early 17th century while the West forged ahead. Now islamics think they are going to establish a world-wide caliphate. Over our dead bodies.
Obama is either a damned fool who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or he’s a damned crypto-islamic traitor to the USA and the entire the Western world. Either way he SHOULD STFU and I can’t wait to see him disappear into well-deserved obscurity as the worst US president ever. Yes, worse than Nixon. As an antidote to Obama, we need Trump.

Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, “let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.” (Applause.) For Christians like myself, I’m assuming that sounds familiar. (Laughter.)
………………………………
In other words, Obama is pretending that this is the Christian Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
Funny, I don’t recall the Golden Rule demanding that Christians behead rival claimants to the Caliphate…
In fact, the passages surrounding the Golden Rule in the Book of Luke in the New Testament of the Bible are these:
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven…
Nope–not a word about murdering your rivals…

Imam Obama

I am going to defend Obama now JW readers. Obama could not be a traitor like he is now to American people if we had a majority of Americans who love freedom and American way of life. Obama is doing these unthinkable acts of treason because the majority of Americans hate America. This is a fact.
An American president giving a speech in a mosque (house of the enemy) encouraging this disgusting cult is in my opinion an act of ignorance, hate of America, stupidity and treason. America chose this idiot twice. I am not sure we will recover from the damage this scum imposed on America and the world.

” For Christians like myself, I’m assuming that sounds familiar. (Laughter.)” Really? ACT I SCENE III from the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare comes to mind:
ANTONIO
Mark you this, Bassanio,
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
Chantelle says
Of course Obama has to be a ” Christian” who would have voted for him if he told the truth
