It was three and a half years ago: Obama asked Georgetown University to cover over IHS, which is an abbreviation for Jesus derived from IHΣ, the first three letters of the name Jesus in Greek, while he was speaking there. But yesterday Obama stood without hesitation under the Arabic for Allah at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
Here is Obama at Georgetown, about to shake the hand of Georgetown’s President John J. DeGioia. The covered IHS is the dark triangle above DeGioia’s head.
“Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name Of Jesus To Comply With White House Request,” CNS News, May 7, 2012:
(CNSNews.com) – Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”–symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up–when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.
“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage,” Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.
“The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches,” she added. “Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn’t high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context.”
On Wednesday, CNSNews.com inspected the pediment embedded in the wall at the back of the stage in Gaston Hall, where Obama delivered his speech. The letters “IHS” were not to be found. They appeared to be shrouded with a triangle of black-painted plywood.
Pictures of the wooden pediment prior to Obama’s speech show the letters “IHS” in gold. Many photos posted on the Internet of other events at Gaston Hall show the letters clearly.
The White House did not respond to a request from CNSNews.com to comment on the covering up of Jesus’ name at Gaston Hall.
Georgetown, which is run by the Jesuit order, is one of the most prestigious Catholic institutions of higher education in the United States.
Roman Catholics traditionally use “IHS” as an abbreviation for Jesus’ name. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “St. Ignatius of Loyola adopted the monogram in his seal as general of the Society of Jesus (1541) and thus became the emblem of his institute.” The Society of Jesus is the formal name for the Jesuits….


Hope says
This BS with Obama just gets worse every day. I am running out of epithets to use against him! His arrogance and his hatred of Christianity and Western civilization are beyond description at this point.
Gary says
True. But we must put this in perspective. Our current Commander-In-Chief is messing with Alpha and Omega…….
“God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
If Obama continues to push our Heavenly Father away, he, and he alone, will suffer the consequences.
wildjew says
President Obama’s “Alpha and Omega” is Allah, the god of Islam — even if he is not devout. That is why he did not order Islamic Society of Baltimore to cover his name.

I think we have a few years to go, before these things come about, don’t you? The way things are going I expect jihadists will have nuclear weapons in their possession one day. Obama is young enough to play a significant role on the world stage in the years to come. Lots of smart people are betting Obama will not go into virtual obscurity like many presidents do when they leave office. He is expected to leave office Jan. 2017, isn’t he?
Champ says
Well, I don’t think that obama has any intention of going ‘away’. Word has it that obama wants to be Secretary-General of the United Nations …

Champ says
Additionally …
obama has stated — perhaps jokingly — that he might run for a 3rd term. There are *countless* videos, on the internet, where obama is actually stating this, and supposedly he’s saying this in jest. Or ‘perhaps’ he isn’t kidding, and he’s planning to repeal the 22nd ammendment: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice …”
And I don’t have a crystal ball, so only time will tell if things turn out this way, or not …
robm says
Only “one” reason for that..
Richard Sherman says
Only a Muslim would cover Jesus and not cover Allah. This is identical to the fact that the Koran requires every Muslim to deny that Christ was crucified. No Christian would ever cover Jesus’ name, but a Muslim will do it every time. Shira demands that if your father is a Muslim you are a Muslim for life..so he covers the name of Jesus, but not Allah. He is following Shira like a good obedient Islamic puppy dog.
small minded fools says
all you people are sick, ignorant fucks. Obama’s drone strikes have killed more Muslims than Bush and Putin put together. I am not fond of Obama at all, and don’t even get me started on Hillary. But since all of you people keep saying he is the worst president of all time I would like to know 1 thing, just 1 thing he has done to really effect your lives in such a horrible way. You closet racists are the scum of the earth.

Great opener, I’m sure that everyone is bound to take you seriously… /sarc. off
“Obama’s drone strikes have killed more Muslims than Bush and Putin put together.”
Even if that were the case, so what?
“I am not fond of Obama at all, and don’t even get me started on Hillary.”
Again, so what?
“But since all of you people keep saying he is the worst president of all time I would like to know 1 thing, just 1 thing he has done to really effect your lives in such a horrible way.”
What kind of logic is that? One needs to have been personally affected by Obama to conclude that he’s the worst president ever? Really?
You closet racists are the scum of the earth.
Carolyne says
Even though your obscene wording is unnecessary, I understand your point. I think we here at JW are familiar with most Anglo-Saxon words, and your foolishness doesn’t shock me. However, the criteria by which one judges a President of the United States, good or bad, is not by how many people he has ordered killed, but by how he has protected the country, among many other things, as he vowed to do when he took the oath of office. Obama has failed to keep the oath he took and is giving away the country to the Muslims. Perhaps that is how you would judge a President, but most of us wouldn’t.
IMO he has not killed enough Muslims as the Islamic State continues to take territory and kill innocents –women, children, those of other faiths, in most horrendous ways. They are killing people who have lived as Christians in the Middle east since the time of Christ, long before the prophet of evil, Mohammed, was even born.
I will go no further since you are obviously ignorant of history and incapable of even learning history and what the true goals of Islam are.
You are likely one of the low information voters who placed Obama in his position of power.
WorkingClassPost says
Tell us more. Your views are widespread, and not to be dismissed. So, please, tell us how you perceive what’s happening, but try and be polite.
Custos Custodum says
Note that this is the core of another one of Obama’s trademark misdirections that go over so well when people are not 100% attentive.
The implied argument is that Obama could not be a Muslim because he has had many Muslims killed. This argument only works if one assumes that Muslims are as horrified of “killing their own people” as Christians and Jews are (at least in theory)..
In fact, Islam cares not one whit about “collateral damage” nor even about massive death and maiming of one’s own side’s Muslim “civilians.” In fact, Muslim warfare doctrine as practiced, e.g. in Gaza actively seeks to maximize its own side’s “civilian” casualties – the more women and children the better.
Obama spent his formative early years as a foreigner in Indonesia. He would not have been accepted as “Indonesian” and no doubt encountered some real racism as the child of an African (Arab racism certainly spread to Indonesia long ago). However, young Barry found a degree of acceptance at the madrassah where he could feel he was part of the global “ummah” fighting against the evil infidels. With his verbal dexterity and outsider’s motivation, Barry excelled at memorizing and chanting Arabic prayers including, famously, the evening call to prayers (which is chanted by the Imam, not the faithful).
In a young Indonesia in the 1960s, Islam’s “ummah” doctrine would have had a strong anti-colonialist flavor and racist tinge. Meanwhile, at home, Stanley Ann Dunham inculcated a communist, “anti-colonialist” pseudo-religion.
MTMLA says
The University covered Jesus name. They betrayed him even more than the muslim Obama.
wildjew says
Jesus (the Jew; born in the land of Israel) would not like Israel-hating President Barack Obama. It is obvious Israel-hating President Barack Obama does not like Jesus in as much as he does not like Israel’s Jewish prime minister.
Angemon says
By today’s standards, that would make Jesus racist – everyone knows that disagreeing with Obama’s policies is racism.

Jack says
Sickening that this man calls himself a Christian at least when it’s to his advantage to do so, yet he’s on record stating he will stand with Islam should the winds of change begin to blow against Islam, when translated means: “I will take the side of the anti-Christ along with my brothers and sisters” “They say a most monstrous thing when they say Allah has a son” the Qur’an makes it clear that Islam is a anti-Jesus religion yet there are many foolish Christians who claim we Christians worship the same God, the god of Islam is as different as night and day as the God of the Bible, just like the message of Jesus who taught Love and Peace, Muhammad taught Hate and War. Satan Hates Jews and Christians just like Muslims that Hate Jews and Christians. I don’t see any so-called moderate Muslims out condemning those that are murdering Christians out of existence in the Middle East. The Demographics of Europe paint a bleak future, a future where the adherents of this Fascist Ideology will eventually create a much larger hell hole than exists today.
Champ says
This action by obama to cover “JESUS”, but not allah, is very troubling.
But much of what obama does stimulates many troubling questions …and in my opinion — very few, if any — satisfying answers.
And in this video, Dinesh addresses and theorizes about more of obama’s very troubling decisions that are even more sinister and troubling …
“Political commentator Dinesh D’Souza made some startling predictions about the second term of Barack Obama — and now he has released a fresh, eight-minute addition to the film revealing how the president plans to “take America down a notch.”

Champ says
Yes — I agree, Katnis!
Don McKellar says
This is a pretty terrific video — some convincing arguments.
I’ll make my prediction for Obama in 2016. Before the end of his presidency, Obama will “convert” to Islam so that he may be the first moslem president (officially, that is) and thereby break through that “glass ceiling”. He’ll do that right near the end. Watch him — he won’t be able to resist.
Carolyne says
You could very well be right, but I expect him to cause some kind of civil disobedience so that he can declare Martial Law and not leave office. And yes, IMO, he is a Muslim.
MTMLA says
Will Moochelle have to cover up her “magnificent” biceps that she loves to expose? Will the girls cover up and be sent to Kenya to marry a cousin as good muslimas? But the true Saudi Muslims despise blacks and the word for black is abid, same as for slave..

I have always believed that is what he would do.
Jayson says
Wow
JAS says
It boggles the mind to think that millions of so-called Americans actually voted for that wretched snake to be ruler of the USA… and then did it again after he found how easy it was to damage the nation. Obozo is the worst thing to happen to the USA since 1860! I used to think it was impossible for a lying low-life to take over our country, but it was quite easy for him to do it.. all you have to do is convince enuff stupid people that you will give them something for free in exchange for their votes.. whether you actually do so doesn’t matter, since their attention span is so pitifully short. Obozo promised blacks the moon and they got nada, in fact they lost ground, but they still voted for him twice.

Matthieu Baudin says
Perhaps Mr Obama picked up this religious prejudice via his father’s Islamic identification. It really is a disgrace; this two faced handling of the religious diversity theme. All the baggage will be unpacked following the end of his presidential term and many of the suspicions will probably be confirmed.
Kepha says
I don’t think the O got very much from his father at all, except for a name (assuming that Barak Obama Sr. rather than Frank Marshall Davis is the father of Stanley Ann Dunham’s child). As for the O’s cutural Marxism, he probably got it from his white grandfather and Frank Marshall Davis. I strongly suspect that one reason why American is floundering under the O’s leadership is that we’re led by someone who never really had much of a father (except, perhaps, Lolo Soetero, the Indonesian Muslim Statistik whom his mother ultimately despised for selling out to the anti-Communist Suharto), and he simply doesn’t have the positive male role model to follow.
As far as I can see, BHO Sr. may have been born a Muslim, but he was not a practicing one, and had Marxism and a hatred for white colonialism as his working religion.
It is, however, clear that the O, for all his professed Christianity, would really like to see Christianity stripped from American public life–and the uncharitable little nasty in me (God forgive me) adds down to the prohibitions against theft, murder, and adultery.
Carolyne says
Obama is certainly the spitting image of Frank Marshall Davis. I think Ms. Dunham was of questionable morals.
Jay Boo says
On the long march to Hell after judgement day the ordinary murderous pillagers and rapists will recoil in disgust at those others who claimed that “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger” in order to excuse themselves of all accountability and simple human decency.

“Whoever says Muhammad was black must be killed”.–Ash-Shifa, Tr. Aisha Abdarrahman Bewley, p.375.
Provisions set by Allah and Muhammad are binding to all Muslims: there are no alternatives.–The Qur’an, 33:36
the PC President has fallen for the guise Isam is a peaceful religion with little idea about the severity and barbarism of the Qur’an. Islamists take full advantage of this ignorance and try to convert killing verses into kissing verses, and hateful verses into loving ones.
janeatte says
Obama definitely is the Antichrist
E Ward says
I think what’s going on here is pretty clear. Obama is afraid of Muslims, just like everyone else is. We all self censor to a degree. Obama doesn’t have to suck up to Christians because he knows Christianity is non violent. Not so with Islam. It’s called fear.
a fool says
O. is a Muslam! He is helping them to grow while he is doing what he can to weaken the USA and destroying bothe the JEws and the Christians!
UNCLE VLADDI says
Ordering Christian symbols covered up is NOT merely “not-sucking-up” to Christianity.
Hamish says
The name of Jesus has the power to drive out demons. Obama would never have been able to finish his speech had the Lords name been exposed.

Then why hasn’t Jesus driven out the demon, Obama?

Because the likes of Obama are doing the Lord’s work.
Obama is sent to rattle the sheep.
Only those with strong faith in Christ will survive the devil’s persecution.
MTMLA says
Worse than Obama IS the University administrators who denied JESUS and covered HIS name with a black cloth, bowing down to the orders of the first (fraudulent, black , communist Christia and America hater ) muslim president.
I am sure BO wouldn’t dare ask the same to his devout muslim brothers because they would not do it and he would have a fatwah placed upon his head for disrespect to islam and offense to the prophet.I have to say, the fanatics muslims stand up for their satanic cult much more than some spineless Christians. If I had a child going to GTU I would have removed him/her from it. Maybe they sold out to Obama for 30 dinnars as Judas did. SHAME ON GEORGE TOWN UNIVERSITY for this outrage!!!
Custos Custodum says
You mistake the spirit that pervades Georgetown U. these days.
One suspects that the “sophisticate” powers-that-be at Georgetown were HAPPY to have an excuse to cover up an embarrassing, backward-looking reference to Jesus that is not in line with the One True Faith of Communism.
In Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver ends up shipwrecked in Japan. The Shogun at that time insisted that foreign traders had to step on a cross to prove that they were not Christian missionaries. Gulliver asks to be excused because he did not choose to come to Japan. The Shogun grants him an exemption. However, when he tries to hitch a ride back on a Dutch trading vessel, the Dutch traders demand that Gulliver should step on a cross as they themselves distrust true Christians.
DANIEL TRIPLETT says
How much more evidence do the naysayers need?
