President Obama is Really Terrible at the Whole Muslim Thing

It is long past time that we adopted a collective and individual response to the Obama-is-a-seekrit-Mooslim smear: hysterical laughter followed by immediate dismissal of absolutely everything else that person has to say about anything. Such people must not be granted one more minute of anybody’s attention, least of all the media’s.

Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist? (Sura 5:90-91)

It is not permissible to imitate the (the nonbeliever) in any of their acts of worship, rituals or symbols, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Source

President-elect Barack Obama and his family planned a Christmas Day that includes opening presents in the morning and sharing a traditional turkey and ham dinner in the evening. Source

Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked a name other than that of Allah. (Sura 5:3)

As I have written about in my books, I first joined Trinity United Church of Christ nearly twenty years ago…Rev. Wright preached the gospel of Jesus, a gospel on which I base my life. Source

People who yap about Obama being a Muslim have earned all the ridicule that can be heaped upon them; for as Thomas Jefferson put it, “ridicule is the only potent weapon which can be used against an unintelligible proposition.” This particular smear is as unintelligible as it gets.

    Ridicule, like facts, are as water to a duck’s back for these folks.

    The inmates are running the asylum. These clowns are performing before the country. How can anyone with a sane mind ever vote republican again? These fools are unfit to govern. We are watching the implosion of the republican party.  Pass the popcorn.

    I would counter that the reason GOP politicos engage in this nonsense is that no one is doing the “hysterical laughter followed by immediate dismissal” — certainly not the media, which simply “reports the controversy.”

    Precisely!  The MSM is complicit in this.

    The no longer independent media knows that they cannot point out the lack of facts and logic. That segment of the media is owned by non-media capital and their business model is dictated to them by an incestuous group.

    The media of Murrow, Brinkley and Cronkite only exist in the non-monied writers such as yourself or the monied humorists of Stewart, Colbert and Maher.
