I've always believed Obama is a Muslim. That's why he was caught up being flustered by George Stephanopoulos.
I think also it is why Netanyahu isn't fond of Obama.
I also think this is why during his first run for office he had to work to explain why the pastor he claimed to know for some 20 years, a man he considered to be like an uncle, was a racist and preached racism from the pulpit.
I think Obama's handlers, staffers, sought a pastor that would say Obama was a parishioner in their church and Reverend White was the only one that would concede to that request.
Because listening to White preach from the pulpit when Obama was running for office sure didn't sound like an uncle that adored his nephew. And shortly after Obama gained office first term, White retired!
And built a mansion in an almost all white gated community having been given a multi-million dollar golden parachute when he left the church.
Millions? From his church?
Or, millions from Obama backers because White played the game asked of him?
Obama's politics don't make it appear he's Christian. But the sure make him appear to be a devout Muslim.
I was going to post the transcript so that everyone here who has not watched the video could read what they refused to watch and learn. However, the transcriptionist must have been having a really bad day because it is nonsensical.
But that is as God wills I think. PeD, you won't change a peoples mind that is first made up to mock, scorn, ridicule, and as you rightly observed, froth at the mouth to vomit hate and then defecate on the faith by closing that inflammatory garbage with blessings and Christ's title.
The lesson for you here I think is what is being thrown back at you by those who never bothered to click play and in that I find every last remark ironic.
Just because the label is there doesn't mean the person is what their self-applied label says they are.
Yes, Obama was Muslim. Islam is
patrilineal. His father was Muslim, his stepfather was Muslim. Ergo, Barack H. Obama was Muslim. When no one has bothered to read his books, or hit play, you know they are effectively saying they have no idea what they're talking about when they state Barack H.Obama is not or could not be Muslim. Otherwise, they're realize he himself admitted he was Muslim in one of his books when he talked about acting up during Koranic studies, attended only by Muslim students by the way, at SD Besuki in Jakarta.
As one would expect a Koranic studies class would entail all things related to Islam. Including praying the Salat, the second pillar of Islam being prayer, and including recitation of the azan, the call to prayer. The Sunni version of the azan is this:
God is the greatest.
I testify that there is no deity but God.
I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
Come to prayer.
Come to success.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity except God.
When Obama would have recited that during class, and committed to salat, in Jakarta he would be considered Muslim. He even repeated the azan to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times in 2007. That in itself as a journalists story would reach countless Muslims around the world. That Obama said the Azan was one of the prettiest sounds he's ever heard and could recite it some 37 years after Koran class, says that prayer runs through his mind in contemporary times.
As the video reports, does all that mean Obama is still a Muslim? When he speaks of having found his Christian faith in one of his many books? The video explains how he could claim that too. And all in keeping with the tenets of Islam.
Suffice to say, you're not thus far dealing with people who care to engage in respectful dialog. Adults that remark using cartoons and bad movie memes are first a reminder of that child back in public school. You probably had them in your class. They were always making jokes and trying to get people to laugh, always at others, because they weren't interested in learning anything.
The same is obvious here today. Think of the time it takes for trolls to seek out cartoons or bad movie memes on a search engine. Save them to their computer, find a photo upload site, upload, copy the code, return to this thread tab and paste, write something acidic, and then post that reply. All of that time in mocking that video they know nothing about , defending a man they know nothing about, and they refuse to hit play and spend 7 minutes to learn what they don't know.
And why?
Because they , and this is key to understanding what you're dealing with, ridicule , condemn, insult, defecate on Christ's legacy in closing a hate filled screed, trust what the leftist media and others claim when they say Obama could never be Muslim, is not Muslim, never was Muslim. They trust the programming words of others, but they refuse to watch the informed talk of one who knows Islam and for seven minutes.
They ridicule and mock you citing others they believe who claim Obama isn't Muslim. While refusing to hit play and learn for themselves, exercise their own choice and responsibility to educate their ignorance, and watch what someone who has read Obama's own books admitting his affiliation with Islam has to say and the argument he can make citing the tenets of Islam as to how it is possible Obama can say he's Christian and still be a Muslim.
They don't care.
No one in this thread cares about the truth.
They care about the behavior you see from them. That is what you're dealing with in this thread.
Or not.
If you have a large ignore list filled with the most committed trolls names you'll find the threads here are far more peaceful and easy to read for the reason and respect that is posted. And you'll find those threads that are either posted by them to incite their own kind, flame bait, or are manipulated toward a flame platform, aren't showing up as readily in the "Recent Posts" or "New Posts" categories.
And you never see their names in threads either. They cease to appear, exist. It's a beautiful gift of God and the server here.
Pray for those that seek to overcome the good news folk with behavior straight out of the pit of Hell. After you ignore them.
No good ever comes from hoping to reason with a troll. Because trolls are no good.
