    Nice little spot. The speaker after you presents the left-fascist enemy of America oblivious to Islamic supremacists approach, you present the leftist allied with Islamic supremacists approach. Another speaker should be present to provide the third and only other possibility: that he is simply a moslem who has become expert at playing the deception game and is doing so now to advance Islam. That’s the one I subscribe to. If he had ever actually said: “I am not a muslim” when asked instead of being evasive and saying: “I am a Christian” as quickly as possible, my position would be wrong. But he hasn’t, and he never will, because he can’t.

      Here is a response I have developed for web boards on the question of Obama being a moslem. It is very effective and shuts people up very quickly when they consider it, so I offer it for cut and paste for Jihad Watch readers out there speaking to truth on web boards:

      Obama has never, ever simply said the words: “I am not a Muslim”. When asked he has only ever replied: “I am a Christian” In Islam, a great emphasis is placed on the verbal affirmation as being the thing that carries weight. For example, a Muslim divorces his wife by saying: “I divorce you” three times and it is done. If a Muslim were to say the words: “I am not a Muslim”, then they believe they are damned and there is a death sentence on their heads as an apostate. They can say: “I am a Christian” and use Islamic lying (taqiya or, in this case kitman — lying by omission) and say that because they do accept Jesus as a prophet. It is not the same as proclaiming they are not a Muslim. That’s how that game works.

        I agree. You have mentioned this before at JW and I think you are correct. A Muslim saying that they are a Christian arguably means little to nothing, but a Muslim saying they are not a Muslim arguably means a great deal, unless, of course, taqiyya would permit even this denial of the truth in order to fool the kuffaar, the equivalent of human waste under Islamic law (I do wish most every non-Muslim would comprehend this by now, that per Islamic law non-Muslims are the equal of urine and feces, which helps to explain, though not completely, why Islam has no Golden Rule for all).

        • Don McKellar says

          Feb 3, 2016 at 11:32 pm

          Because he’s making a public statement which is also for moslem consumption, and not a private deception to kuffars, he absolutely must not say “I am not a Muslim”. If he were asked in private with no muslims privy, he might be able to justify it in his mind as you say and simply lie outright and say it. But he can never do that to a public audience where he is recorded. I wonder if he has actually said that to convince kuffar doubters in confidence without being recorded or heard by another moslem? It would be interesting to research accounts to develop a well-rounded case.

        • Paul Middleton says

          Feb 4, 2016 at 5:01 pm

          Absolutely Muslims can deny they are a Muslim, in certain circumstances. Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Koran and the Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart.

      For the record, the speaker is Andrew Klavan, an award-winning writer. Look up “Andrew Klavan – On The Culture” and “Revolting Truth” on YouTube.

    The visit to the mosque in Baltimore by Obama is just another charade. The only debatable factor here is to what extent Obama knows or doesn’t know it is a charade.

    Personally, I think Obama the shallowest man who has ever occupied the Oval Office, and so he may not know what he is doing, but then again shallow people at times can definitely know what they are doing.

    Well, that’s a fourth position that people can take on what’s going on here. The other three are easier to argue and provide evidence for, but he does display attributes assigned to such a claimed phenomenon.

    1) Y must Muslim Lie ??
    Bcos they are taught to lie all the infidels.

    2) Y do Muslims fight n kill n rape ??
    Bcos Mohammed killed more than 800 Jews n thousands of infidels.

    3) Did Allah tell Mohammed that it was god ?
    No. … Allah was mentioned that it was NOT Called God but Allah only Worship Me.

    In the Bible, Satan was mentioned to Jesus that “Worship Me”.

    Therefore, Allah is Satan in the Coran & Satan is Allah in the Bible.

    4) Y did Allah Never exist physically to Mohamed at all ? Mohamed was so fearful when Allah (jinn) appeared to him.

    Bcos Allah was not allowed to appear physically by God. It got no power to do so. Whenever Satan/ Allah or jinns appear to mankind, its character is using Fears to u.

    Obama always confuses me. He likes photo ops with the worst representatives of any group. Clock boy was the perfect example of Muslim scholarship. Trayvon Martin looked like his imaginary son. The Baltimore mosque has a bad rep. Obama isn’t a Christian or a Muslim. I think he’s an atheist, and not the reasonable, decent kind, but more like the Leninist kind.

    • Budvarakbar says

      Feb 4, 2016 at 3:52 am

      You would be well advised to quit hiding behind the cloak of: “Gosh – I am just so confused!” — there is no excuse for being “confused” re this BASTARD!

      • E Ward says

        Feb 5, 2016 at 12:52 am

        I reserve the right to be confused. I don’t really know what’s up with Obama, and I doubt you do either.

    Zhudhi Jasser was rather angry over Obama’s support for such a traditional- gender apartheid and terror tied mosque rather than visiting with some progressive and reformist Muslims and supporting reforming Islam.

    I think Obama’s intention is to appeal to the younger generation of Muslim Americans to feel good about being Americans and to feel they are genuinely part of the American family. That way they won’t be motivated to become jihadists, in theory. Obama is fully aware of what is really going on in that and other mosques, who is funding the mosques and why, but he is hoping to side step the indoctrination of the Salafists by appealing to good old American patriotism. Maybe Obama will open youth camps for Muslim children after he leaves office to help them integrate better into American life and get the right understanding of Islam as a religion of peace?/sarc

    You see this intention at work also in the recent bizarre insistence by Secretary Kerry that the Islamic State are apostates, despite the refusal of Al-Azhar University to do so. Sec. Kerry is more of an authority on Islam, doncha know? I read today that there is some conflict between Al-Azhar and the US State Department over this apostasy issue, and some pressure is being put on the Egyptian sheiks (using funding of graduate students and who knows what else) to get them to repudiate IS. Trouble is that there is no difference in the Islamic doctrine advanced by IS and Al-Azhar.

    This is Obama’s (TOP SECRET) strategy of how he is going to deal with ISIS, changing the hearts and minds of the young. Or at least it might be a good bedtime story.

    I listened to every second of his speech on YouTube. Believe me … it was very difficult to sit through. I shook my head in disgust through the whole talk. At 40:22 and 43:49 (depending on the complete version uploaded) he relates the story of a 7 year old from Texas who “emptied his piggy bank to help a mosque that had been vandalized”. No Muslim child would ever, ever, ever own a piggy bank! So … it was a lie. And if he told one lie then he told many more during the course of this speech. If he is a Christian … he is dhimmi. If he is a Muslim he performed 40+ minutes of taqiyya. He also said “Islam was derived from the word salam”. It was NOT. Salam was derived from the word “Shalom”, which is Hebrew. Mohammed stole it and changed it to make it sound Arabic. This statement about Islam being derived from salam is the first and biggest lie in the art of taqiyya.

    Robert : It’s really not fair of you to suggest that Pres. Obama is deliberately sabotaging the West – we all know there are Muslims who espouse a peaceful way of life, and do not proclaim the violence that seems to be endemic in the ghastly book they use. However his problem is innocence of the sheer number of extremists who exist and are perpetuating the violence, even if not joining in with it. Like any religion there are MULTIPLE BRANCHES AND MULTIPLE VIEWS and they should not all be shoved into one camp. Doesn’t mean I trust Muslims, I think the whole thing is something to be wary of. Obama is trying to be fair and since he has family who are Muslims he is of course obviously well aware that those he knows are not espousing violence. This is an unfortunate state of affairs and of course we will not be able to keep them out of the West until we see much more violence unfolding. We are really at a very sensitive point in this situation and the West’s history of acceptance-of-all will have to be reviewed for the sake of pure survival. Just no need to be nasty about the honest intentions of others. I don’t think ferocious hatred does this website any good at all. only honest discussion can solve the problem in a civilized way.

    Scroll down and see Obama below a large banner. The banner says, “ALLAH” in Arabic.
    http://www.timesofisrael.com/in-first-visit-to-us-mosque-obama-slams-inexcusable-rhetoric/

    When he speaks at Christian buildings all religious symbols must be covered up, even “IHS,” which is a Greek abbreviation for “JESUS.” But Arabic ALLAH is okay.
