George W. Bush: Secret Muslim

1) Are you suggesting Nicolas Kristoff of the New York Times lied when he said-

"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”"

[source:new york times]

(note: Adhan )

I hope you are aware that a) Mr Kristof is an Arabic speaker, and b) has considerable experience in the middle-east.

Obama has problems counting states in the Union and pronouncing a few English words - does that mean he is ignorant of English and isn't an American?

2) A queer left-wing blog, was dedicated to the question of Obama's Muslim background. I have yet to read anything contradicting what Mr. Chang pointed out in his articles on the subject:

Obama, Islam, the Lies

Obama, Islam, the Truth (he was Muslim)

Obama, Islam, the Truth (family)

3) Distorting Mr. Gaffney's work. I think this quote from the original article says it all

This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black.

More to the point, don't dodge the content of Gaffney's article. Bush never spoke of the Koran as "revealed" nor followed the word "Mohammed" by (Peace not be upon him), nor did he make it a point to say

"I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."

For a president who didn't even bother presenting evidence of being a natural born citizen (Fact Check is not a government entity!!), to conceptualize his role as a defender of the Muslim veil, is beyond reprehensible.

The French league of women for the defense of women's rights in Islamic countries, found this a direct insult and attempt to undermine their efforts at women's rights in the Muslim world.

Mr. Gaffney's final observation rings painfully true

Whether Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim or simply plays one in the presidency may, in the end, be irrelevant. What is alarming is that in aligning himself and his policies with those of Shariah-adherents such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the president will greatly intensify the already enormous pressure on peaceful, tolerant American Muslims to submit to such forces - and heighten expectations, here and abroad, that the rest of us will do so as well

Now this is something Mr. Sarkozy or "Ni Soumis Ni Pute" would agree with wholeheartedly.

In response to AllanGreen:
1. Let's assume Obama is a closet Muslim who has simply put on this entire role as a Christian to become electable, Why would a man who would have to be so careful with this created identity choose a Church like the UCC with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. One would think he would have played that much safer for the sake of his fake Christianity.
2. "I hope you are aware that a) Mr Kristof is an Arabic speaker, and b) has considerable experience in the middle-east." So What? Just because he is an Arab speaker and has experience in the Middle East doesn't make him a reliable Muslim spotter.
3.Shouldn't we commend Obama for fighting negative stereotypes of Islam. I would assume that he would be doing the same thing of any major world religion. Wouldn't this be a solid plan for giving muslims in other countries one less reason to join forces with Islamic radicals?
4. "For a president who didn't even bother presenting evidence of being a natural born citizen," Which presidents have actually had to prove their identity more than Obanma has already done? I was pretty sure this conspiracy theory had finally died.
5. As Colin Powell said, so what if Obama is a Muslim? The whole idea that a Muslim should never lead the U.S. insults the very ideas that our country was built on.
6. I commend conservatives for finally turning to the French for advice on their world view.

For Blue13326:
If you read a bit of that article I think you would find Obama is not responisble for the rise in oil price

"Adding to crude's advance was new government data that showed an uptick in U.S. demand for gasoline, and a report from oil giant BP PLC that said the world's proved oil reserves fell in 2008, the first drop in a decade."

That would account for rising oil prices, which are still a fraction of what they were during the Bush administration, which would point to the fact that Bush made "somebody" a whole pile more money than Obama has, strengthening Mr. Keating's point.

There are poignant Quranic verses addressing Bush and his plans for Iran and the world:

2:11 And when they are told, "Do not spread corruption on earth," they answer, "We are but improving things!"

2:12 Oh, verily, it is they, they who are spreading corruption but they perceive it not?

And America, at least part of America IS at war with Islam, seeing to render the entire Muslim people in the imagine of America.
