Asher he goes to a black nationalist church which has celebrated Farakkan. His faith is not irrelevant. I cannot believe that you guys actually think being closely affiliated with Islam is not currently a reasonable concern for someone running for the President of the U.S.

Finally, Monster. I like your point. I’d like to hear more of what you think the impact of the Muslim world’s affinity with him might be.

I bet a couple of people got stern talking-to’s after this aired Monday.

Please. It’s MSNBC. The largest concentration of Obama voters is at their little studio in Secaucus. Heads rolled for this.

Obama, Osama? There is a difference?

One has a B, the other an S. The difference is “B-S”.

Wait a minute. This was PMSNBC, not See BS. Where’s my TV Guide?

As to the relevance of BHO’s cultural roots… Whether he identifies with the Muslim religion and culture isn’t really as important as whether THEY identify him as one of their own. If you did a poll of self-identified Muslims around the world, and asked them if the son of an African Muslim named “Barack Hussein Obama” whose stepfather was an Indonesian Muslim, and who studied at a madrassa, is a Muslim, I suspect a pretty good number of them (if not an outright majority) would say yes.

But he became a Christian. That makes him even worse in their eyes than a mere kufr Crusader like me. They’d allow me to live among them (other than in Mecca or Medina) so long as I pay the jizya and don’t get too uppity. But he’s an apostate, and we all know what the rules are for apostates.

People get mad at her for calling him Hussein, but they do it too. Just as this is not an accident, it is not irrelevant. B. Hussein Obama’s name reflects deep ties to Islam. Just as surely as his ties to the Lou clan in Kenya have had import, so will his ties to Islam. And while multiculturalists tell us it is just another religion, we culturists know better.

Eh? I think there is quite enough fodder without trying to make some odd connection between his name and a belief system.

You might start with his professed faith and it’s view of the United States. Or you could review his plans for the economy…

That’s scary enough, tyvm.

Considering that PMSNBC’s ratings are virtually at the bottom of the toilet bowl, it is a wonder that anyone would even notice they pulled a dumb stunt like this.

Seriously, people; who watches MSNBC anymore? I have watched that channel exactly one time in the last three years, and that was the Republican debate.

We all know what a bunch of idiots there are running the place. Watching this only confirms that.

Obama, Osama? There is a difference?

To be fair, there is an S worth of difference!

B. Hussein Obama’s name reflects deep ties to Islam.

Oh, for crying out loud. A name doesn’t entitle anyone to inferences about anyone’s background. My family was Catholic for something like 1400 years; I’m not.

The names only differ by one letter, after all.
