Let’s see… What kinds of threats does the soon-to-be President face?

Generic barking moonbat: By all accounts, the attendance at the inauguration is going to number into the millions. Somewhere in that heaving morass of bipeds is someone w…

The question I keep asking whenever this comes up: how would this put Obama in any more danger than any other president? Because you can’t tell me that Islamists wouldn’t love to off the Crusader GWB.

Baldilocks,

I’m on the same page with your thoughts about who’s is danger: GWB vs Obama—

Another important question: WHY would the NYTs publish anything that would not help Obama get elected?.

This is a pre-emptive strike to get the muslim issue out in the open before the conventions; but then to sanitized it with the public. If the NYT’s can make it appear that Obama’s upbringing doesn’t make him sympathetic or part of Islam; and instead puts him in danger from groups like HAMAS– who just endorsed him– then Americans could be persuaded to think of Obama as– not connected to Islam, but rather in danger from it.

It’s all part of the media smokescreen to divert attention away from the HAMAS endorsement and to put their twist on Obama’s religous upbringing before the fall election season.

I wish we could edit our HA posts, for at least a few minutes.

My guess is that he is to naive to be a fifth columnist. He is really Jimmy Carter in blackface. And that is almost as dangerous.

When you’re not taught how to think, you’re less able to think things through. Also pride plays a big part here, and not the good kind.

So true.

His religious complications only make him that much more troublesome and in need of a quick return to empty-suited obscurity.

You do realize that we were not “crusading” on Sept 11, 2001, right?

You do realize that there are two separate tenses used in my comment, right?

Muslims can define you as a former-Muslim against your will, simply because your parents were Muslim. Christians would more easily recognize that although you may have been raised by Christian parents you did not accept that faith for yourself as you became an adult. Therefore you were never actually Christian, just “raised Christian”.

I have no problem with Obama stating that we was never a Muslim. But then I come from a Christian POV on it.

But I agree with others that neither do I see the Christianity in the church he attends.

Because you can’t tell me that Islamists wouldn’t love to off the Crusader GWB. It seems to me that may have been the purpose of Flight 93.

Well over a year ago, I condemned those who insisted that Barack Obama was a Muslim and that should disqualify him for office. I stated then, and I state now, that by the words of his own mouth he is……

I’m confused too. Hasn’t the Obama campaign been telling us all along that Obama was never a Muslim? Now he’s a convert who may be viewed as an apostate? How can that be if he was never a Muslim to begin with? Is this like their “we never said he’d negotiate with Iran without preconditions” when he said exactly that in the debate, and even had it on his website?

It takes two to tango. Leftist pols say the right things to stupid people. I know of what I speak. Plenty in my family.

We’re seeing the long term results of what Leftists have wrought in the social and educational areas. Black people having been more vulnerable to sixties reforms (less able to escape the degradation of public education, for example) are more likely to buy the BS.

Example: a federal government that oppressed blacks, then “gave” us rights, then ignored it when local government takes over the oppression, then overrules local government, then hands out bennies which destroy our families requires….what?

Less government and more suspicion of those who want more of such capriciousness. Or so one who hadn’t been…ahem….bamboozled would think.

Wasn’t Wright a Muslim at one point?

Hening on May 12, 2008 at 3:15 PM

Yep. And Obama marched with Farrakhan.

Isn’t that fascinating since his being a Christian not only fits the Muslim agenda, but all his church zombies are a pinky push away from foot baths and cheering Islamic terrorism as the works of Allah.

That discussion is already happening in light of the shari’a court decision in Malaysia. Once the door is opened, it’s tough to close it again.

Of course, the top is already spinning with headline “fights” over who takes the credit and for what. Is it the magnanimous shari’a court who gave permission or was the woman allowed to return to Buddhism because she “never really practiced Islam to begin with?” In all fairness, I have seen some Malay articles condemning the court decision, saying that the woman should have been put to death.

But, as I said the wedge is already in the door. There is too much about Obama that would be dangerous for this country and for the world to push that as much of a positive for Obama.

The NYT article sounds like something the Clinton campaign put out. As Robert said, it is good to see them recognize Islamic law for a change,instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. But it probably will be ignored by the general public.

If there were no Obama, Hillary might get, say, 70% of the black vote in the primaries, but would get 90+ in the GE. 2004? Kerry got 88% in the GE. Not much higher to go.

Leftists have done their work well.

Obama has a prostrate problem?? OH NO!

I sure hope not. Treatment for that is, well, radioactive.
