All non-Christians likened to criminals?

To Sally Hill of TX:

You say: "We may share this planet with people of all different religions, beliefs, ideals, and opinions, but that doesn't mean we have to try to identify with those opposing views, and especially those that want to destroy us. I have to share my community with a garden variety of criminals, but you will NOT see me trying to reach out to communicate and engage them. I'm smart enough to know a leopard when I see one and to try to pet him will probably result in the loss of my hand. If that makes me a moron - so be it. "

What? You do realize you are comparing all non-Christians with criminals, that you have to share the planet with them with equal trepidation, that any non-Christain you reach out to will hurt you... did you mean to say that? If yes, then this is the precise problem with this country.

Allah is Arabic for "God"

What a bunch of paranoid fools we have on the right in this country.

Obama is not a Muslim, BUT......

Although I believe that Obama is a Christian, he's still a whacky, liberal girly-man goofball. His recent speech just reinforces my belief that his foreign policy strategy is for everyone to hold hands and sing "We Are the World". For someone who is supposed to be so intelligent, his level of naivete is astounding.

In my view, Obama wants to base his foreign policy on how he thinks the world should be, not the way the world actually is. That is a very scary approach. If history has taught us anything, it is that your enemies can identify the weakness and will lie through their teeth and on a stack of bibles (oops, sorry!) to get you to relax your guard. And so it goes with Obama-man. Our enemies wanted him to get elected because they know he will fall for their nonsense. They must be thinking, "Sucker"!

He can say what he wants, but it will not stop the murdering Muslims from wanting to kill us. In fact, I believe without a doubt, that the U.S. will suffer another attack on its shores during his administration, regardless of what he says or does.

I do not agree with those who keep harping on whether Obama-man is a Muslim or not, but I do believe he is untrustworthy and has an agenda that he is not yet revealing. And I will say this, he's probably more of a terrorist sympathizer, just like the other anti anti-terror liberal girly-men.

has to be a joke

This preoccupation with Obama being a Muslim has to be tongue-in-cheek. Really, no serious person with any mental capability believes that crap. If Obama was named by his father then he will have a Muslim name since his father was a Muslim. When abandoned, his mother took him to her comfort zone, Kansas. As for his middle name Hussein, probably half of the Muslim world has either Hussein or Muhammad in a name. Hussein was a Muslim equivalent of a saint. It’s like any Catholic being called John, Paul, Luke or Mathew. How about Latinos and their use of Jesus? People need to grow up. And as far as Frank Gaffney is concerned, this clown is a moron of first order and my apologies to morons the world over. The fact that he gets press is a national embarrassment worldwide.

I was born into a catholic family and have rejected that religion because of it's guilt-no-matter-what and adherence to ignorance way of performing its "service." So just because my birth certificate says Roman Catholic, I cringe at the connection. The fact that my stepfather was a non practicing Jew, made me neither one. Give it a break!

Since the GOP had nothing constructive to offer they resort to this moronic and childish behavior. Since the election they have offered nothing on problem solving. Not one plausible solution. Void, nada, empty rhetoric. The slogan "country First" is such a sham it is almost disgusting. This GOP is not the Party of my father. They have morphed into total irrelevant asses.

Let’s just shoot ourselves in the gut, why don’t we.

If they think he is a muslim just because he said Asalam Alakum., they need to talk to the Christians in the holy land. They also say Asalam Alakum. In fact, Jesus, speaking Aramaic would also say Asalam Alakum, just as the Chaldean Christians who conduct their worship in Aramaic. The words are almost the same in Hebrew, but the voweling is different.

These bigots and other anti-Christ Christians (belligerently arrogant instead of humble, malignantly hypocritical instead of truthful, bigoted instead of accepting) make me think that the world (with the US in it) would be a lot better off if he was Muslim. But not being anti-Christ Christian is just as good.

So he isn’t trying to piss off our oil suppliers. It isn’t like the belligerent, arrogant, hypocritical bigots of the last administration were very successful in making the world a better place. Of course he could try their tactic and after another short oil embargo you can see just how far your pay check goes (assuming you still have one) with the resulting hyperinflation. Not sure anybody would be buying our automobile industries then or any of the rest of the US industries that have survived the anti-Christ Christians.

Obama Secret Israeli?

It's crazy that Obama and Clinton would declare American support for Israel. Israel is NOT our ally nor are their interests allied with 'ours'. Americans want a one-state solution for Palestine, not a recipe for continuing nonsense called 'two-state' which is unattainable.NO JEWISH STATE! DEMOCRACY!!

Stupid Bigots

There really is an Us vs Them thing going on in the US but its not whites vs blacks or Christians vs Muslims or any crap like that; it is a normal people (us) vs bigots (them) battle. Bigots and their racist, sexist, and other xenophobic bull must be crushed! This "Obama is a Muslim" charge is just more of their putrid feces as they try to shove the President into a "Them" category, but anyone with half a brain can see through it. Not only is Pres Obama OBVIOUSLY Christian, his religious affiliation does NOT matter at all and Muslims are good people. The only good bigotry is aimed at bigots themselves: they deserve to have what they preach turned around and done to them.

Muslim?

Well, I don't personally consider myself to be a moron, nor do I make a habit of calling others names that happen to hold a different belief tham myself.....each to their own I guess.

In the beginning I wasn't sure if he was Muslim or not (not that it really mattered at the time) - then I decided he was Christian. He said he was, so I took him at his word. After the speech in Cairo - I am again undecided as to exactly what he believes. I'm not sure even Obama knows what he believes. Maybe he is actually an agnostic.

The speech left me with very bad vibes. I'm disappointed in him and his views of America. Why did he run for the highest office in the land to represent a country that he quite obviously holds little regard for? Just when Michelle is finally proud of her country, Obama seems to be ashamed of it.

I look at what all he is doing to this country and just wonder why? Is he purposefully trying to destroy this nation? My mind says yes, but my heart doesn't want to believe it.

We may share this planet with people of all different religions, beliefs, ideals, and opinions, but that doesn't mean we have to try to identify with those opposing views, and especially those that want to destroy us. I have to share my community with a garden variety of criminals, but you will NOT see me trying to reach out to communicate and engage them. I'm smart enough to know a leopard when I see one and to try to pet him will probably result in the loss of my hand. If that makes me a moron - so be it.

Hidden heat muslim

Barack Hussein Obama is a secret heart muslim attempting to convince people he is a Christian. Check out the "fruits" people. He also has the deadist eyes, no real emotion even when he gives that pretend smile. If you have never read Revelations in the Bible and you will see for yourself. It tells all!

what relegion?

I suspect that Obama takes after his mother. He's really an agnostic.
