George W. Bush: Secret Muslim

Posted By Joshua Keating Tuesday, June 9, 2009 - 4:02 PM Share

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney's new Washington Times column arguing that after the Cairo speech "there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself," is not really worth much of a response.

But these two pieces of Gaffney's "evidence" did jump out at me:

Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to "the Holy Koran." Non-Muslims -- even pandering ones -- generally don't use that Islamic formulation.
Mr. Obama established his firsthand knowledge of Islam (albeit without mentioning his reported upbringing in the faith) with the statement, "I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." Again, "revealed" is a depiction Muslims use to reflect their conviction that the Koran is the word of God, as dictated to Muhammad.

After about 30 seconds of Googling, I present the venerable Islamic theologian George W. Bush:

The Islam that we know is a faith devoted to the worship of one God, as revealed through The Holy Qu'ran.

Besides, if Obama were really a secret Muslim, he'd probably have done a better job pronouncing al Azhar and hijab.

Oil prices double in short months of Obama presidency, despite severe economic weakness:

a couple responses

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.

Emperor Bush Wears no Clothes

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.
