Obama Office Operates in Philly’s Islamist Corridor
Yet another link between questionable representatives of Muslim America and the senator’s presidential campaign.
When Barack Obama’s campaign needed a base for harvesting votes from the southern precincts of Philadelphia, it set up shop in a building owned and managed by controversial real estate baron Kenny Gamble. Also known as Luqman Abdul Haqq, Gamble holds a senior position with the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA), whose founding is traced to a convicted cop-killer and whose leadership is stacked with radicals. He likewise serves as a community organizer of sorts — one who has been accused of slowly transforming his neighborhood into a “black Muslim enclave.”
The office opened on August 21 at 1501 Christian Street, with Gamble himself cutting the ceremonial ribbon. Makeshift banners proclaim it the “South Philly Obama Headquarters,” the address of which is listed on the Obama-Biden website as a field office for the Pennsylvania Campaign for Change. Philadelphia tax records identify Gamble as the owner of the property, while signage indicates that the building is home to Universal Educational Management, part of his Universal Companies conglomerate.
Gamble’s associates and agendas expose him as a dubious figure that politicians seeking to present an image of inclusion would be wise to avoid. This is doubly true for a campaign like Obama’s that already has suffered serious missteps in its interaction with the Muslim community.
Best known for his work in the music business, Gamble has held high-ranking posts with the Muslim Alliance in North America, which focuses on African-American converts to Islam. That description fits Gamble and most of the group’s senior members, some of whom also have roots in the Nation of Islam and Black Panther movement. Indeed, the formation of MANA was inspired by Jamil Al-Amin, the onetime Panther “justice minister” H. Rap Brown. MANA’s enthusiasm for Al-Amin remains untainted in the wake of his conviction for the 2000 murder of a sheriff’s deputy. He has even addressed, by telephone, MANA meetings at Gamble’s United Muslim Masjid.
MANA’s governing bodies teem with Islamists: Siraj Wahhaj, the organization’s amir, was named as a potential unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, supports Sharia-prescribed punishments, and predicts America’s demise unless it “accepts the Islamic agenda.” Johari Abdul-Malik directs outreach activities for a Virginia mosque repeatedly tied to terrorism cases. Abdul Alim Musa promotes anti-Semitic and anti-American conspiracy theories and has expressed admiration for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Osama bin Laden.

1. vivo:Are these Muslims American citizens?
Oct 22, 2008 - 3:03 am 2. David Thomson:One can only hope that this story does not encourage some very right-wing conservatives to believe Barack Obama is a secret Muslim radical. It is instead further evidence that the Anointed One is willing to join forces with some very unsavory characters in order to gain power. Furthermore, I am convinced that Obama is a very secular man who takes organized religion with a huge grain of salt. He probably does not feel particularly close to Kenny Gamble. More than likely, Obama perceives the Islamic radical merely as an enemy of my enemy who is therefore an ally for the time being. At the end of the day, the Democratic Party presidential candidate feels only at home with those of the far left who graduated from our “best” ivy league universities.
Oct 22, 2008 - 3:06 am 3. Boris:“It is not just the heavily Islamic atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood — complete with men in traditional dress praying on the sidewalks — that feeds speculation about a veiled agenda.”
Wow. Why would a Muslim neighborhood feed speculation about a veiled agenda?
Oh, I forgot. All Muslims are terrorists. Silly me!
Oct 22, 2008 - 3:26 am 4. Tony:Hmmmmm…. Obama said that future generations will be able to look back on this time, i.e. making him President, and they would be able to say that this was the time when the rising oceans began to subside.
(I still can’t believe that someone came out with something so utterly pathetic as that statement and is still being taken seriously for POTUS)
Anyway….
Maybe it’ll be more likely that future generations will look back and say that this was the time when women in America started to lose their personal freedoms and had to cover themselves up in strict abeyance of Sharia law because the Dems were too wrapped up their own backsides to see the threat right in front of their ideological faces?

Oct 22, 2008 - 4:48 am 9. Fantom:Yes Boris, seeing as how muhamed was a terrorist and committed acts of genocide. It is perfectly proper to understand that moslems , true moslems not MINO’s, would pattern their actions on his. Much as Christians do Jesus… you know, the Son of God who healed the ear Peter struck off the man who lead Jesus away.
You see that is the difference between a true religion of peace and a cult of terrorist.
Christians go to the Cross in martyrdom, moslems blow up busloads of kids.
Oct 22, 2008 - 4:59 am 10. Ryan Small:Boris,
Straw man – that’s what you built. Ever consider that the author was linking Obama to extreme Muslims who have ties to radical organizations such as Nation of Islam and the Black Panther Party? Did that cross your mind or did the buzzword Muslim cloud up your head like so many Islamophobes you think fill the ranks of the GOP electorate?
Oct 22, 2008 - 5:38 am 11. Boris:Sorry, Fantom, I didn’t realize I was posting amidst religious scholars. Now please return to your fantasy that Obama renting offices space from a Muslim will have a huge effect on the election. Cheers!
Oct 22, 2008 - 6:00 am 12. Boris:Ryan,
Try reading the sentence I quoted, thinking about it and THEN responding. Good luck!
Oct 22, 2008 - 6:22 am 13. Tony:Boris,
Do you have any idea how diluted the accusations of bigotry and racism have become from you and your ilk?
Every vague negative comment re religeon, colour, etc from the right is greeted with howls and accusations from the left thus burying any possibility of adult discussion. While you think your snide remarks make you clever they actually just remove you from the discourse and make your comments irrelevant.
I appreciate your trollish nature so I assume this is wasted comment but just in case you want your own comments to actually mean anything I thought I mention it.
Oct 22, 2008 - 6:49 am 14. Anonymous:Fantasy is taking even more fantastic flights now that the election is so near and Obama is ahead in the polls!
Oct 22, 2008 - 6:51 am 15. R a Z o R:Obama’s inexperience will come at Israel’s expence .
Obama will tell Israel to restrain itself while it is being attack the same way Obama told Georgia to restrain itself when Russia attacked them .
Did anyone read the article that stated if we call Obama a Socialist that we are being racist ?
It is Colin Powell that is the racist . Obama is the Socialist .
Oct 22, 2008 - 7:16 am 16. Saltherring:Each day brings a hope that the America I have known will wake from its drunken stupor, splash some water on its face, awaken to what is happening, and come to its collective senses. I find it impossible to believe what the polls are telling us….a pacifist, socialist, 18-month-tenured senator with confirmed, active ties to terrorists, racketeers and assorted America-haters….is leading in the presidential race? Did I wake up in Europe….in 1931? Who are these people?….and they’re telling Americans what?….and Americans and buying into this? This cannot be happening. Better America returns to its stupor….much safer……and perhaps more real…
Oct 22, 2008 - 7:55 am 17. AdrianS:Obama ‘admits’ Kenyan birth?

Oct 22, 2008 - 7:56 am 18. Boris:“Every vague negative comment”
Once again, Read the sentence I quoted. It clearly states that a Muslim atmosphere and people praying “feeds speculation about a veiled agenda.”
If you’d care to repudiate this statement by Rusin, then do so, but don’t pretend that I’m making this stuff up when I quote the sentence exactly.
Oct 22, 2008 - 8:33 am 19. Wahine:I, too, wish America would wake up.
Why haven’t we learned that unquestionable character and judgment are critically important in a leader?
We’re not at a time in our history when we can afford to be foolish about whom we put in office. Nor can we afford the many distractions caused by the inevitable fallout from a life lived recklessly in pursuit of self-interest.
Has anyone ever lived with a narcissist? A malignant one? It is a nightmare, to be sure. The lies become a suffocating insanity. And you scream for freedom.
Don’t bring this horror upon our nation.
Oct 22, 2008 - 8:43 am 20. SAF:Boris: All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists seem to be Muslims. So it is quite natural for people to be leery after 911. And after all it is Muslims who manufacture and use toy suicide bomber belts to dress up their two year old kids for parades, not the Mormon’s.
I personally do not believe the Obama is a Muslim or a Muslim sympathizer. I think it is a vain attempt by the right to get people to see his other issues. Many on the right just can’t believe he is so popular given how left he is so they have tried, ineffectively, to throw the kitchen sink at him.
There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Obama without trying to link him in as a Muslim extremist.
Oct 22, 2008 - 8:52 am 21. Sarah:When taken in context it’s funny how things seem to make more sense – weird, who would have thought?
It is not just the heavily Islamic atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood — complete with men in traditional dress praying on the sidewalks — that feeds speculation about a veiled agenda. Gamble’s bizarre statements to Philadelphia magazine last year added more fuel to the fire: “You don’t see the lion with the tiger. You don’t see the tiger with the panther,” he said. “You don’t have people selling goods and services in the Irish community from some other community. In the Russian community, you don’t have people from other communities. In the Puerto Rican community, the Puerto Ricans have their own economy, they have their own stores.” The article notes that Gamble’s musings sound like an endorsement of segregation and a desire to engineer a zone exclusively for black Muslims.
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:03 am 22. dancing rabbit:All terrorists are Muslims? How about Timothy McVeigh? How about Eric Rudolph? How about the 5000 documented lynches since 1900? All perpetrated by Christians. One could argue that invading Iraq was an act of terrorism. (It was evident to anyone paying attention even before the start of the war that 1. Iraq and Sadaam Hussein had no meaningfull link to Al Quida. 2. Iraq did not, was not threatening to attack us. 3. Most of the “intelligence” regarding weapons of mass destruction was trumped up. Hussein did seek them earlier, but as his regime was collaspsing he no longer had the resources.
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:12 am 23. susan:Boris, after reading your posts here, I wonder if your deep ignorance of the damages caused by islam throughout the world (during the 1400 year timespan) is just that, deep ignorance and stupidity, or is simply part of the constant nutswinging you have to show for your self proclaimed messiah. I wonder if you’d display this sort of ignorance even if hillary was candidate.
I am not interested if your god obama is a closet muslim or a muslim sympathizer (it makes absolutely no difference to the facts), but advancing the cause of islam in any developed country can only worsen it.
Maybe you like to drink the leftist crap about golden andalusia and bullsh*ts like that but believe me (and I am in Europe) islam brings nothing good anywhere. Its only merit is to destroy previous glorious civilizations (egyptians, Persians, Indians, chinese, african).
By pushing this idiot agenda, you are enabling your future dictators. Under sharia, there is no obama or mccain, there is only islam, honor killing, underdevelopment, women treated like cattle and so on
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:12 am 24. Eowyn2:Dancing Rabbit.
Since you want to go back to 1900 on the lynching, shall we go back to the 800 AD and the way Islam spread to southern Europe etc etc etc.
If you wish to continue to ride the Iraq war to the 22nd century, go for it. The US incursion into Iraq had absolutely NOTHING to do with the bombing of the WTC, Pentagon, or the plane in PA.
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:45 am 25. Wahine:Regarding Obama’s professed Christianity, I would have to say he’s not like any Christian I’ve ever known.
The Christians I know would stop the “messiah” talk from Moment One. They’d set the fawning public straight about where their salvation lies.
This Christian may call himself a Christian, but I’m sorry to say he’s got alot to learn.
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:56 am 26. Boris:“When taken in context it’s funny how things seem to make more sense – weird, who would have thought?”
Try to work out the implications of the phrase “It’s not just…” and get back to me on this one.
susan, look out! There’s a Muslim behind you!!!
Just kidding.
Happy Halloween!
Oct 22, 2008 - 9:58 am 27. susan:Another idiot on public display
“dancing rabbit: All terrorists are Muslims? How about Timothy McVeigh? How about Eric Rudolph? How about the 5000 documented lynches since 1900? All perpetrated by Christians. ”
You like to play the “moral equivalence card” so here is for you, the same moral equivalence.
none of the acts you ignorantly cited is glorified by any member of the church that has some authority, justice was brought in the form of trials and death sentence. Whatever idiocy you mean by 5000 lynches, the church in the person of pope JP2 apologised for the crimes of the church in a public letter. Can you say the same about the islamic suicide bombers? They are praised martyrs especially if they succeed in murdering as many infidels as possible. Can you bring me example of any muslim authority that has apologised for the crimes of imperialistic islam? Slavery, honor killings, child raping, murderng infidels, forced conversions (and the list goes on).
And since you seem to like to make an a$$ of yourself, can you report me one single muslim majority country (you have more than 50 to choose from) that is not based on the principle of islamic supremacy over any other religion? (for your ignorance this is the principle of sharia, whose components appear here and there on any “constitution”/body of law of ALL muslim majority countries)
if you are so sure that living in a country that follows the judeo-christian tradition is so bad, I suppose it won’t be hard for you to get back to me with an example of muslim paradise on earth, where you will possibly move

Oct 22, 2008 - 10:21 am 30. Wahine:Did someone say “all terrorists seem to be Muslims?”
Did someone name other non-muslim terrorists — but leave out Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn?
Well, how about this, then: all terrorists seem to be friends of Barack Obama.
Oct 22, 2008 - 10:22 am 31. Vasio:Just a note…All this talk about he’s this, she’s that and this media frenzy is nonsense. The basis is vote and make your choice.
What’s better capitalism or socialism? I see that America was built, design and ran on capitalistic principles. Money market pracices. Though look at this debt crisis…
I came to realize America..This great Democratic country who excersises Democartic priciples. But it’s very difficult to solve capitalistic problems with Democratic principles.
Think of this society as Conflict Theorist do; as myself I am a ‘Conflict Theorist’ and see and believe that individuals are divided into classes which is what capitalism does it divides. It places the poor with the poor, rich with the rich..and so on…It doesn’t allow room for those in lower standings to raise up into higher ranks.
It’s like I’ve been working a job for 20 years and never got a raise never got a promotion or even a high five…no room for growth.
And the basis of socialism is a society overall looking to equalarity.
But who is to say what’s best? Who is to say what candidate is a socialist or not? Who is to say what will work and what won’t if nothing new has been tried.
Nevertheless, the world is still ran on basis of Conflict. and Conflict Theorist would agree.
Oct 22, 2008 - 10:23 am 32. Sarah:Soooo….back to the point at hand (thanks for the rabbit trails Boris)
It really does matter who you choose to surround yourself with! Those that you associate with on a regular basis are indicative of the kind of person you are – I could care less if Obama is a closet cross-dresser let alone a closet Muslim. There are a multitude of other reasons I won’t be voting for him!
P.S. Susan, just ignore Boris – he has his panties all up a wad because his mommy wouldn’t let him out of the basement today. If you were in his shoes you’d be irritated too!
Oct 22, 2008 - 10:32 am 33. Wahine:Hey, is there anyone out there that wants to set Vasio straight? Sorry, pal, I haven’t got the time.
Oct 22, 2008 - 10:49 am 34. Vasio:Sarah, tell me do you believe in capitalsim? Do you beleive in communism? Do you believe in socialism? What ‘ism if any do you believe in? (just a point, it is bad taste to say who your not voting for).
Tell me why McCain and not Obama? since you already said who you are not voting for, please elaborate. You may help me?
Oct 22, 2008 - 10:52 am 35. Boris:Still waiting for you to explain that context there, Sarah. Wait, is Rush on now? Forgive me for asking you what you think today when you haven’t been told yet.

I definitely believe in communism, it’s made the world a much better place. How can anyone NOT love a communist? Capitalism is for the unelightened that have not achieved the higher thought processes that it is more beneficial to care for everyone else’s needs before their own. I believe in “flowerism and bunnyism, cottoncandyism, kittyism,and a multitude of other “isms.”
I don’t recall saying I was going to vote for McCain…. Nope, just checked my previous post. Since you’re so interested (and even if it’s a bit tacky to say) I’m planning on voting for Ronald McDonald as a write in in this election. Thanks for letting me share my beliefs with you, it’s awsome that you’re so open.

Oct 22, 2008 - 11:33 am 45. Jeff:What most people with low IQ’s do not realize is –
1) We are NOT at war with the muslims or the Islamic world. We are at war with terrorists who happens to be muslims. Was the Oklahoma bomber a muslim?
Oct 22, 2008 - 11:33 am 46. Fantom:2) Trying to continuously tie Obama to unsavory characters and the muslim world without solid proof only show how close-minded and shallow conservatives have become.
3) The majority of intellectual professionals in America DO NOT buy into the fear, hate, and smear campaign of the conservative base anymore. As best stated by Obama in his campaigns, “ENOUGH. We cannot afford 4 more years of the last 8 years anymore. ENOUGH.”
” Robert Hurley:

Oct 22, 2008 - 12:08 pm 51. Jeff Tyler:You can’t help but wonder if anyone in MSM would start paying serious attention to the most shocking of Obama’s Islamist connections: his strong support (at taxpayers’ expense) of Odinga, the man behind Kenya’s recent crisis, who with Obama’s help ran “Vote for Change” campaign: http://drslogan.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/kenya-barack-obamas-other-change/
Obama was explicitly helping Oginga in his quest to turn Kenya into a radical Islamic state.
Oct 22, 2008 - 12:26 pm 52. Sarah:Vasio:
Oct 22, 2008 - 12:42 pm 53. SAF:You have to approach the situation within the parameters of an absolute fact: No one is perfect, it is virtually impossible for one person (in this case whomever will be president) to fix all the problems of the United States. I belive that both McCain and Obama have their strengths and their weaknesses, if either one of them were perfect the race wouldn’t be quite so close right now.
However, in my personal opinion Obama stands for certain principles that I don’t not agree with and in some cases I believe to be dangerous to the “American way of life.” Obama is pro-choice, I am pro-life. Obama wants the governement to be bigger, I believe the size of the government is in direct proportion to the size of the problems America is now facing. Obama has been quoted saying that he belives it is better to “spread the wealth around” – this in essence is a socialistic view. America was not founded on the tenents of socialism and whether yuo personally agree with it or not it would be detrimental to the United Sates to begin implimenting these policies in any form or fashion – governmentalizing the healthcare system is another example of this.
Is McCain perfect – certainly not! But, in my estimation he is decidedly less of a risk to the America that we know and, in spite of it’s flaws, love.
I am not a mother but I hope to be one someday and my children will be taught the same as I was – Take personal responsibility for your actions, work 10 times harder than anyone else, and finally – You are responsible for your own destiny, success or failure depends on how bad you want it!
Yes I did forget that there are some non-Muslim terrorists, Timothy McVeigh and Bill Ayers come to mind. Fortunately they have both been executed for their crimes.
Oct 22, 2008 - 12:58 pm 54. mike:Those who attack Obama for reaching out to muslims seem to forget we fought FOR muslims in Bosnia. We saved them from ethnic cleansing. Neither the Clinton nor Bush administrations have done anything to remind the world, or Islamic nations of this fact. Obama’s message is that everyone, including American muslims should feel safe in America. Those throwing incendiary anti-muslim comments would escalate the war against terror into a war against muslims, even as radical Islam fans the flames against non-muslims.
Oct 22, 2008 - 1:02 pm 55. Jillian:The Muslim world partial to violence and terrorism? What a ridiculous idea. Can’t imagine where it may have originated
Oct 22, 2008 - 1:25 pm 56. Ryan:Ryan,
Try reading the sentence I quoted, thinking about it and THEN responding. Good luck!
Try reading the REST of the article.
Oct 22, 2008 - 1:57 pm 57. susan:“Those who attack Obama for reaching out to muslims seem to forget we fought FOR muslims in Bosnia. We saved them from ethnic cleansing.”
and as a matter of fact bombing serbia was without shadow of a doubt the biggest international mistake of the clinton administration. As a neighbour of the former yugoslavian territory i thank Clinton for setting up a muslim only territory where the real ethic cleansing (together with burning and destruction of any orthodox church in sight) happened to christian serbs/croats.
Thank you for setting up the biggest al quaeda base in the heart of europe.
And beside, have you bothered to notice how the muslims have been grateful to USA for “fighting for them and save them from ethnic cleasing”?
The big thank you came on 9-11.
Do you think serbs could have pulled a stunt like that on USA? Then it’s obvious it was NOT the right choice to help people who will always consider you an infidel and nothing but an infidel.

Obama’s carefully edited image of himself is a well fabricated fraud that, like a well crafted “marketing brand” voters can believe in under the banner of “Change” and I’m not surprised he is doing well with it. The “mainstream media” has done “zero” investigative reporting on the candidate who is about to be handed the Oval Office. The reason I appreciate Mr. Risen’s efforts and those of many bloggers on the net, without them, we would not zip about the real OB.

Oct 22, 2008 - 3:49 pm 61. CR:Another lively discussion at PJM! It’s always more lively when Boris shows up, and this time with a troll-twin in dancing rabbit. The more the merrier!
After thousands of years, organized religion is still causing much bloodshed and constant disagreement between fellow humans. Seems to me that a lot of folks just aren’t learning some valuable lessons as time passes. Some religions allow for tolerance of non-believers, and some do not. Some religions actively promote violence and some do not. There are many religions in this world, not just Christianity and Islam. There are also secular belief systems, like Scientology and Communism. All these different systems have a few things in common, and naked aggression is the number one commonality. I’m not sure if it even matters what one does or doesn’t believe in, if a group of like-minded people grows large enough then trouble will soon follow. I believe that’s a prime reason for America’s historical greatness. We always have enough diversity so as not to achieve a large scale group-think mentality. We can think for ourselves and make up our own minds about our individual beliefs. If we try to convert others to our way of thinking, we’ll run into other people who will freely tell us that we suck, instead of just going along with it. Various Muslim groups keep telling us to give up now, to cave in to their demands before it gets ugly so we tell them no way – you suck. They are harassing us and worse but Boris and crew somehow think we should just ignore them? No thanks, Boris! You can feel free to ignore them, at your own peril, but I choose a different path. Some Muslims don’t have a veiled path, they openly threaten us and commit acts of mass murder in the name of their religion.
I could care less what people choose to believe in, until those people threaten me and then I care a great deal. I prefer fighting threats over making excuses and pointing to past injustices as some kind of justification for mass murder. Every group of people has been targeted by another group of people throughout history, so does that mean every group of people should be free to exact revenge for the distant past? No way. We’re supposed to learn from the mistakes of the past and move forward, not get stuck trying the impossible task of righting past wrongs. Saying things like, “How about the 5000 documented lynches since 1900?” is quite silly. We could break out our history books and play that game until we’re all dead of old age. You guys go ahead and play tit-for-tat with the past, I will continue trying to make our future better than our past.

Oct 23, 2008 - 4:04 am 75. pat:Catholic Bishop Against Obama Obama sicks the IRS on HIM
WASHINGTON — A church-state watchdog group has asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether the Roman Catholic bishop of Paterson, N.J., violated tax laws by denouncing Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama.
In a letter sent to the IRS on Wednesday (Oct. 22), Americans United for Separation of Church and State accused Paterson Bishop Arthur Serratelli of illegal partisanship for lambasting Obama’s support of abortion rights.
In a column posted on the Diocese of Paterson’s website and published in its weekly newspaper, Serratelli also compared Obama to King Herod, the biblical monarch who ordered the death of John the Baptist.
The bishop did not refer to Obama by name but only as “the present democratic (sic) candidate.”
Under federal tax law, nonprofit groups — including religious organizations — are prohibited from intervening in campaigns for public office by endorsing or opposing candidates.

Barack Obama | Catholics | Internal Revenue Service | Washington-based | Baptist | New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani | United for Separation of Church | Rev. Barry Lynn | King Herod | Diocese of Paterson | Freedom of Choice Act
Serratelli wrote that Obama has pledged, if elected president, to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, abortion-rights legislation the Catholic Church vehemently opposes.
“If this politician fulfills his promise, not only will many of our freedoms as Americans be taken from us, but the innocent and vulnerable will spill their blood,” Serratelli wrote.
The Rev. Barry Lynn, president of Americans United, said it is “impossible to interpret this passage as anything but a command to vote against ‘the present Democratic candidate’ because of his promise to sign a certain piece of legislation disfavored by the Catholic Church’s hierarchy.”
The Paterson diocese said Serratelli’s column was focused on proposed abortion legislation, not the upcoming presidential election.
Oct 23, 2008 - 7:37 am 76. rocketeer:Wow, reading all this name calling has been very entertaining, but the fact remains, Obama continuously associates with those who despise this country, be they muslim extremists, black racists, avowed communists, or democrats. The other fact remains, the main-stream media won’t report it and democrat voters wouldn’t care about it anyway. Obama could have an office in the Kremlin and they wouldn’t care.
Oct 23, 2008 - 8:18 am 77. Vasio:In conclusion, while this article is yet another sterling example of why Obama should be under investigation by the FBI for sedition, it doesn’t matter to anyone and it won’t effect the outcome of the election in any way.
Does McCain associate with these negative groups? What about police officer do they belong to extremist groups? Just because I know someone who doesn’t do the right thing or may not like my views doesn’t have any factor on my life. But as a power in my position I can use these people to change their views because they can relate to me? Get a clue idiots!!!
Oct 23, 2008 - 9:07 am 78. Ty:I am amazed and disgusted at how some of you snubbed nosed people are when it comes to trying to tie Mr. Obama to terrorist. Sara Palin dont know who runs the Senate, knew very little about Fannie and Freddie, spent $100K or more on her wardrode (then say moms can relate to her-not really) nor does she know what the $770B bailout was for and you want her to be the VP/XO and John McCain wants to be elected because he was a POW and seems to have forgotten more than he knows. Why dont you grow a pair come out and just say it, you dont want Obama because he is Black, some of you are too afraid to come out of the closet.
I have my concerns with Obama and Biden too, but I wont spend too much time having him justify his affliations. I have sent emails challenging him on his knowledge of our military and why we are still downsizing, and why China, Iran and North Korea laughs in our face. Iran challenging the US Navy is unbelievable. I asked him to show plan to restore the economy (remember Ross Perot put everything into pictures) Obama just talks about it, talk is cheap. Asked him to list his priorities if he is elected for the public to view. I would have a better appreciation for him if he did these things more so than having him explain why he sat in a room with someone who was bad when Obama was 8 years old.
Kenny Gamble, Bill Oriely (AKA Grand Wizard of the KKK), George Bush, pick anyone and if you dig deep enough you will probably find something to talk about. In my view Mr. Obama is too good for this job.

And all this talk about socialist. It’s idiotic. How will a Socialist principle destroy America? It seems a Capitalistic principle destroyed America; along with the Military Industrial Project. Again people you cannot solve capitalist problems with democratic principles. Open your eyes. No matter what style or ‘ism someone believes in the world is still divided.

Oct 23, 2008 - 11:19 am 80. susan:ty, if you have morals you do not shake hands or associate yourself with, or uplift the books of someone who wrote
1) that is morally acceptable to kill parents
2) that is morally acceptable to indoctrinate kids to revolution by violent means
3) that is morally acceptable to bomb people to make a point
If this is the people you like to have a picnic with, where is your limit? cannibals? serial killers? pedophiles?
Ty, you are a pretty deluded individual who never experienced real political terrorism in your country. You probably think 9-11 was an inside job therefore you never experienced it.
I live in a country who experienced first hand political terrorism. People who bombed train stations, banks, murdered people with cold blood.
Those people are in jail even if they attempted a sort of repentance.
Ayers is out, unrepentant and this is the real reason why he’s not in jail is because the prosecution screwed up, and they were let off on a technicality.
So if you think barak is the saviour and vote him because you’re black as he is, that is your problem, but your moral relativism on political terrorism is NOT acceptable.
Maybe if Ayers was in the position to indoctrinate your daughter or son into planting some bomb somewhere you wouldn’t talk so superficially.

China, Russia, and numerous other countries have some good schools I’m sure – what was your motivation in attending school in a country that is the complete antithesis to everything you believe?
Susan you are taking a bit to the extreme as extremist groups do..
So am I to hate someone for writing a book? If I am a muslim, but not a terrorist or evil person how do I disassociate myself from the terrorist. Susan from your comments I can tell you are white…but can you tell what race I am? You can’t. You are basically here “Obama Bashing”…I’m not bashing or speaking for or against..I’m speaking logic.
What if I’m black? How do I disassociate myself from the negative stereotypes?
What if I’m Chinese? Japanese? African, Austrailian? Indian? or Russian? how do I disassociate myself for what one person of my same religion, race or background has done?
How do you?
Oct 23, 2008 - 1:55 pm 83. Granny3:1) I don’t care whether Obama is Muslim or not. I DO care that he was a friend of William Ayers who hates everything about this country, and is working to destroy it within the school system as a professor and community organizer. I DO care that he sat for 20 years in a church pastored by a Black Supremist and was mentored by him. I DO care that he now pretends to be centrist when he is actually very close to promoting socialism for our country. I DO care that he has sent out surrogates to try to prosecute and silence every criticism of him, which includes using the Justice Department (full of old Democrats no doubt sabbotaging the current administration for eight eyars). Very American to call radio shows and managers to attempt to get people thrown off the air because they are discussing something Obama does not want aired. I DO care that he voted to continue to pull babies out of their mothers, drill holes in their heads, and suction their brains out. I DO care that he voted THREE times to prevent hospice care for little dying, aborted babies who survived the abortion process. I DO care that he has promised NARAL to remove all impediments to any kind of abortion at any time during the pregnancy. There are many other reasons I could never support Senator Obama.
2) All of you folks who think socialism is the ticket, do you think that socialism made our country what it is today? Do you not know that capitalism raises people up? Do you not know how rich our poor are compared to poor in many socialist countries, communist countries? We are where we are today because we ran our businesses by capitalsim. No government to tell us how to do everything, give us pages and pages of documentation to fill out, pages and pages of rules with 16,000 people in DC to take care of writing, sending, enforcing all of these rediculous rules. Do you even KNOW any small businessmen and women?
3) As a Chrisian I have always helped the poor and done as many good things for people as I can. However, what you all seem to forget is that we ALL have a PERSONAL RESPNSIBILITY to live our lives in an ethical manner. Personal responsibility is exactly what is missing in socialsim and communism. Read about the workers in some of these paradises or go visit them if you have the $$ to travel. Right now you all sound complete naive and brainwashed.
4) Stop blaming Christianity for human mistakes. Just because someone has been raised in a Christian family and attended a Christian church doesn’t make him a Christian. Check out the New Testament for the tests of how to recognize Christians. You always bring up the Crusades – did you ever wonder why they went to the Holy Land? Well, it’s because Muslims had warred against those countries and taken over the areas and destroyed the churches. I don’t know that much about the Inquisition. Do you suppose it killed millions? Well, I DO know that isn’t true. A few thousand. After Christians began reading the word for themselves, it changed considerably. Try reading about the Great Awakenings in America.
I am really getting tired of lefty delusions. We simply have opposite ways of looking at almost everything. I don’t know where you all came from either. The Democrats I knew no longer exist in the Democratic Party. Too sad.
Oct 23, 2008 - 2:49 pm 84. susan:Vasio, i do not understand the point you are trying to make, but I want to stick to the topic, even if I saw you want to turn it into a “racial” thing.
I do not understand if you are simply talking about stereotypes or about Obama, anyway, I will try to respond according to what I understood.
“So am I to hate someone for writing a book?”
are you telling me that no emotion should emerge after reading mein kampf?
(which book are you talking about? ayers? he didn’t merely wrote a book, he actively engaged in terrorist activities)
“If I am a muslim, but not a terrorist or evil person how do I disassociate myself from the terrorist. ”
If I am white and I am against slavery/segregation how do disassociate myself from south african whites? I suppose we did it enough well back in the 80s. So it is possible.
“Susan from your comments I can tell you are white…but can you tell what race I am? You can’t.”
You care about race, I don’t, you brought up the issue. Just from this alone, there is a good chance you are black. Not that it matters, you brought up the issue where the issue is non-esistent in this topic. In the country where I live is a lot easier to see white muslims than black ones.
“You are basically here “Obama Bashing”…I’m not bashing or speaking for or against..I’m speaking logic.”
So you are telling me you go too the leftist blogs and talk about logic with the people who say bush = hitler, mccain is a warmonger and palin a dumb c**t?
If the answer is no (as I am positive it is) it means you are an obamatroll like all the others and simply pushing your agenda like the others.
Nobody believes to the story “i am an independent commenting objectively”. I am not independent, I have my opinions and at least I do not conceal or twist them to please others.
“What if I’m black? How do I disassociate myself from the negative stereotypes?”
the topic is not about the stereotypes of the blacks. The topic is about a person in a position of power meddling with Islamists with dubious morals. And this is something to be concerned with.
If your friends/financers/people you owe favours to are for example in favour of sharia implementation, you as a person in power, how do you deal with problems that arises between muslims and non-muslims, for example giving special rights to muslim people for prayers or to avoid touching pork and alcohol at work?
See? you meddling with dubious people with an agenda interferes greatly with your common sense.
I don’t think you are educated enough on the subject to understand the problem and follow my reasoning but my reply can be of interest to others.
Unlike the far majority of organized religions, islam has always been from the beginning a total belief-system, claiming to regulate every area of a believer’s life, and laying claim as well to the entire globe.
So if your cult tells you that dogs are unclean and alcohol is forbidden, you might as a taxi driver refuse to carry blind people (with dogs) or people with a bottle. And this is against the law. So the secular, western, american law, clashes with many aspects of the islamic belief.
The list of examples is endless, since as a muslim you might be prejudiced against gays, jews, lonely women, women in miniskirts etc.
If a deeply religious christian working as a cab driver refused to carry a barely dressed woman or a gay person giving as explanation his religious rights, he would be laughed at, possibly fired, and even jailed.
Some months ago, somali drivers in St.Paul pulled the same stunt and they were very close to achieving their goal, not to carry women, jews, gays, dogs, pork etc. Is this fair? Of course not. But it happened.
Having strong ties with the muslim world especially if you owe them something is going to inevitabily twist your judgement in their favour if you aren’t already biased for your personal reasons.
You might say: “oh but the cab drivers acting this way are a tiny minority”. This is not true and nobody can guarantee that it won’t be entirely true tomorrow.
The news are plenty of reports of muslim people being interviewed for jobs without veil, without specific requests and after being hired, started demanding special priviledges. This then leads to lawyers being involved, the company losing time and money, other muslims watching the chance to make money because of some technicality in the law in their favour or some excessed sensitivity wrongly perceived as weakness, the chance to play the victimhood card and gain some part of the population’s simpathy. This is all wrong. But it happens, more frequently than you think.
Nobody expects a jew to be unavailable to work on saturnday, nobody expect a christian to be unavailable to work on sunday, there have been cases of muslims not wanting to work on fridays. No record of a succesful trial involving a methodist unwilling to work on sunday looking for compensation.
The list of examples is endless. I stop here and to me is enough to show that when you put people in positions of power that for a reason or another agree to push the muslims agenda it backfires on the whole community.
“What if I’m Chinese? Japanese? African, Austrailian? Indian? or Russian? how do I disassociate myself for what one person of my same religion, race or background has done?
How do you?”
If you want, you can. The point is that, they evidently do not even try.
And it’s not THAT ONE SINGLE PERSON, it’s a common behaviour of the whole group. I explained clearly with my above examples that if it was one single muslim behaving that way, it would have been a non-issue.
Those kind of problems created by increasing muslims demands to accommodate their requests is overproportioned to their numbers.
In my country we had several cases of muslims disfiguring christian statues in public places because they offended them. And muslims are less than 2%, what if they are 20%? They will start attacking everything they do not like? It’s a very good chance that it happens, after all, in every muslim country there is no interest in preserving ancient non-muslim shrines/church/synagogue and they are often destroyed or turned into mosques. This doesn’t happen in Christian majority countries. Evidently they do not feel the need to reciprocate.
This is why a president that is biased in favour of muslims (wether for ignorance, family ties or financial ties) must be opposed.
And let’s not be silly. It is perfectly legitimate although questionable to say: I do not hang out with Italians because I found them to be loud and arrogant, or with mexicans because I found them lazy or with french because they smell bad.
Being loud, arrogant, lazy or stinky is not something that affects your life directly and hurts you permanently.
When you think that women are inferior and should be treated like cattle, so much that you are polygamous and into forced marriage with underage girls, you think that gays should be sentenced to death, as well as divorced women and people who leave a religion, that jews have no right to live, when you think that your cult has a right to be superior to others and impose its way (like CAIR said “islam is in the USA not to be equal but to dominate”) you will agree that this is not being simply wrongly biased against muslims. It’s merely self-preservation.

He’s a wealthy entrepreneur who became a fixture in the entertainment industry. Remember the song “Ain’t no stoppin’ us now?”? Gee, wasn’t that “radical”?!? And how about, “Me and Mrs. Jones”? Or “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”? Oh yeah and “For the Love of Money” too.
Written by the songwriting duo Gamble & Huff.
Also, the 1500 block of Christian Street is one block west of Broad Street in an area of South Philly that has been predominantly black since the 1960s, but it’s surrounded by Italian-American, Asian-American, Caucasian-American and commercial areas. It’s a community in which many ethnicities cross paths, especially up and down Broad Street.
Nice try. But this is hardly the stuff of a nefarious conspiracy against America. Heck, McCain/Palin are probably pumping up their rally crowds with Kenny Gamble’s recordings every day!

This country is based on the idea of equal rights “guaranteed” by the Constitution. It allows political, religious and other groups to assemble and operate almost as they wish. BREAKING the law is another matter. So don’t mix apples and oranges.

Oct 24, 2008 - 7:48 am 94. Vasio:Susan. I know the topic and what you are implicating is racial. And you are a bit off on my race. But you put together the bull nicely. How can you feel emotion about something that doesn’t directly effect you? It may make you angry, but what can you do about it? Someone wrote a book and you don’t like the views, what can you do about it? just be angry…make your husband breakfast and grocery shop with the kids. It doesn’t affect your life.
You are bringing race in the issue and religous practice because this discussion is all about Obama’s ties to the Muslim world. Normally, I would upload a few of my published Thesis’s, but you would grasp the framework.
So what if Obama is muslim, what can you do about it? What can you do about terrorist? Tell me what the terrorist are so angry about? Stop assuming and get some facts. Please read up on the “Military Idustrial Project”. It will help you out a great deal. And this ideology about Muslim and Jew and Black and White and Asian and French and Japanese and Thai, would not matter. It’s basic facts and figures.
History can’t lie because it’s already happened. You don’t get that do you? Muslims have been around since the beginning of time. Now they are associated as terrorist.
Susan, you should read happy books. Like the “Little Engine that Could” or “Sam I Am” because you can’t handle the real evils of the world and digest them as they are, and create a division of reality and fact, not assumption and radical ideology.

It’s nothing any man can do to stop the ‘False Profit’ or the more popular name ‘Anti-Christ’ from rising to power. So it won’t matter about a vote. The Anti-Christ will take power and establish a peace treaty. It’s God’s will. It’s no laughing matter and it’s nothing a rally or a bunch of jammering can do to stop it. Sorry, but God’s power is the greatest.
I’m not in no way saying that Obama is the ‘Anti-Christ’ because I don’t have the power to tell, but God did equipt me with the tools to know and there is not factually evidence or anything that can support your remark.
Oct 24, 2008 - 10:02 am 97. susan:vasio
as i said before, I thought I was wasting my time writing to a not so intelligent person like you and I was right.
You understood almost nothing of what I wrote, in spite of my use of easy words and present tense. You want to twist the subject into something else because you do not have the capabilities to formulate a thought backed by substance and not cliches.
If the matter is so “racial” as you say, can you explain here in simple and easy words, what “race” the muslims are? The muslim race?
“How can you feel emotion about something that doesn’t directly effect you?”
I am glad to know that the knowledge that someone had in the making the extermination of jews doesn’t effect you at all just because you are not jew. It must suck to be you, visio, really.
I guess you are in favour of pedophilia too, since it doesn’t “affect you” too.
Hey, add also torture, murder and domestic abuse, as long as they happen to others.
What a clear line of thinking, visio, I am impressed.
Keep your stupid racial game for yourself. YOU are the one who brought up the RACE factor. I didn’t so check your facts and stop whining.
I wrote a clear piece on why islam is dangerous for any western democracy and the ties that Obama has with the muslim world are written in the article above.
If your reading comprehensions are limited and you just want to scream in my face RACIST and play your easily earned victimhood card, you’re gonna play this game alone. I am not wasting my time with someone with limited brain capacity.
I am not impressed that you write “thesis”. The academic world is full of idiots with their head up their a$$ that are not even able to read and comprehend. Want to have a proof? Read below
“So what if Obama is muslim, what can you do about it? ”
Please point out in my previous post where I mentioned that Obama might (or not) be a muslims and how this fact is RELEVANT to the discussion.
The title of this post is “Obama office operates in philly’s islamist corridor”. Where do you read that he is a muslim?
Either you are too thick or you are willing to change subject because you don’t know what to say.
“Tell me what the terrorist are so angry about? Stop assuming and get some facts. ”
did I mention the word terrorists? No, another evidence that you do not understand very simple sentences written by someone that’s not even english mothertongue.
I bet you will start lecturing me about how “we created the terrorists” because we are big, bad and nasty.
I am not interested in your crap. If you were able (but obviously you are not) to read what other people wrote you would have realized that I am not talking about terrorists or bin laden.
I was talking about the appeasement, the politically correct over-sensitivity and priviledge treatment that muslims receive from the ruling elites worldwide, establishing DE FACTO their way of life inside ours scrapping secular law.
“History can’t lie because it’s already happened. You don’t get that do you? Muslims have been around since the beginning of time. Now they are associated as terrorist.”
Actually the world have been touched by the grace of living without muslims up until 7th century. Entire blossoming civilizations lived pretty well before the first muslim appeared.
And muslims were looting, murdering and pillaging since their appearance. The whole europe fought by sea and earth muslims for centuries. So even if technically the word “terrorist” wasn’t probably there yet, the picture was the same.
So yes, muslims were hated and despised even back then. What is your point? That you do not know history of Europe? Well, educate yourself ASAP.
Secondly, before we started using oil and they started becoming rich, they were too busy dying in the desert because they are unable to start any kind of progress in their countries, therefore they weren’t much of a problem. With petrodollars they started financing their fifth columns worldwide and bribing institutions.
So yes, after they have been kicked out from the gates of vienna we didn’t bother with them too much so we underestimated the threat.
But they have ALWAYS been a subtle problem. ALWAYS.
You must be one of those clowns that preaches the future on the streets.
Nobody with half a brain would write “false profit” instead of “false prophet”. And god “did equipt” you? What verb is equipt?
Give up trying to lecture me, you’re barely able to put together a coherent sentence.
Oct 24, 2008 - 11:24 am 98. Vasio:Well Susan, that was a well written piece. I applaud you. So you are a very passionate person and desperately in need of some Ritalin or Prozac. I’m not lecturing you. I’m just laying it out there so that you can see. If you are going to tell me about “typos”. Hey I got a big index finger.
You are basically calling me stupid and saying that college educated people are idots. What do you base this on?
I’m sorry that you are not in control of your feelings. So now I’m a clown that preaches on streets? Please Ms. Susan. A simple rebutle would be fine, but you took measure to disrespect. That’s what people do when there is nothing sensible left.
If you can’t see that your views are prejudiced then I’m not here to change you, but point it out to everyone else in the discussion.
Muslim religion; is what you are speaking of, but America the free is the land of opportunity, right? I didn’t know there was an Appendix to that phrase which led to stipulations.
I have no way of helping you or guiding you into a direction of prosperity.
I understand the murdering of Jews was a terrible thing, but I wasn’t alive and it didn’t affect me or how I live my life or care for my love ones. So why should something over many years affect me today?
That’s a sad thing that happened to the Jewish people of Amsterdam and Germany, but I won’t loose sleep and neither will you.
What’s relevant is today, when Muslim Americans are looked upon as evil. People stare and point. Treat them differently, not because they did something themselves, but because a small fraction of the people who practice the same religion and are from the same geographical location.
To say that, I’m in favor of Pedophiles is stupid. It’s disgusting, but I protect my kids. Yes, this is a crime the should be severely punished. What sense are you making.
Don’t punish me because of my beliefs, religion, affiliation, color, creed or nationality. You are in some ways trying to call me the “N” word, but I’m am not black. So don’t go in that direction.
You said “I wrote a clear piece on why islam is dangerous for any western democracy and the ties that Obama has with the muslim world are written in the article above.”
Why is it dangerous? What are you saying about Islam? What does Obama’s ties have to do with anything? What about ties to KKK or any other extremist group? Come now lady, your angry because I can read through your nonsense and see what you are, sorry.
You may not be racist, you just don’t care for people who don’t feel or think like you? mmm, what does that sound like?
You say “And muslims were looting, murdering and pillaging since their appearance. The whole europe fought by sea and earth muslims for centuries. So even if technically the word “terrorist” wasn’t probably there yet, the picture was the same”.
Okay, where Muslims the only group looting? come now you mean to tell me the world was at bliss before Muslims arrived on the scene. Give me a break. Your delusional. What about pirates? Yes, it sounds funny, but Pirates are real. What about KKK? Yes the pillage killed and murdered. What about Nazis? Pillaged killed and murdered. What about the Egyptians, pillaged killed and murdered.
That’s like society and as us “Conflict Theorist” continue to say the unbalance make-up of the world causes this thinking. I’ll give you an example. “My son eats two cookies, but I said to eat only one, but he eats two..so I do nothing. Now my other son does the same thing, but I punish him severly”. DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M TEACHING YOU!
The unbalance spectrum of society causes these flaws. Though I am so glad that I saw the world and traveled and see how other societies live and left my comfort zone. This gave me a clear picture and thought process on true respect, understanding and equality of life.
You are so misguided and I’m sorry. I’ve lived in Kuwait, Iraq, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Amsterdam (why is marijuana legal there?), Africa (Lagos, Nigeria) and many other. My passport is well used. So I have a open mind and see the way people live and things that other societies go through.
You couldn’t survive a minute anywhere, but Boise, Idaho. That is where you’re blogging from, right?
And if you had any educational background you would clearly know that it’s not a factor of Obama’s relationships or affiliations. It’s a factor of things that where taught since the earliest of times. If it’s not like me, then it’s no good.
Yes, I know the history of Europe and Muslims where not hated and to be clear, I AM NOT A MUSLIM. But they help design this world, builders as to wher the Egyptians and the Aztecs and many others and each of these groups and societies did things that made people dislike them, so what? Just as for years countries dislike America.
So get a clue baby and read a book. Some of my choice selections/subjects are as follows:
“Conflict Theory”
“Military Industrial Complex”
“The Great Depresion”
“Microeconomics”
“Government Structure”
“History from 1800’s to 1900’s”
“European Literature”
“Nazism”
“Racism”
“Prejudice”
“Muslim life”
“Macro-Management”
“Elitism”
Here are a few after you are done write me back. No need to thank me. Your next post will do that, because it will make a lot more logical sense. It will alleviate opinions and just focus on facts not beliefs.
Thanks Susan, I love ya like a sister.
Oct 24, 2008 - 12:21 pm 99. susan:“You are basically calling me stupid and saying that college educated people are idots. What do you base this on?”
your posts, vasio, especially when you started telling us about your power to see the future or something like that… that really set the bar of your persona.
And I never said anything of college educated people. I am talking about you.
“That’s what people do when there is nothing sensible left.”
LOL, that’s laughable of you. I brought facts and real happenings in the real world, you brought me your victimhood card, the race card, the “muslims are not terrorists” card, with no substantial facts backing your opinions.
“If you can’t see that your views are prejudiced”
Pity you cannot use your favourite word “RACIST”, isn’t it?
“Muslim religion; is what you are speaking of, but America the free is the land of opportunity, right? I didn’t know there was an Appendix to that phrase which led to stipulations.”
It depends what you mean by opportunity.
If you think that opportunity means that you can do whatever you want like in an anarchy state, than you are mistaken. But then again, in spite of your claim to write thesis, I do not understand what the sentence mean starting with “Muslim religion”.
Your syntax is very poor. I pity the grammar-syntax-spell checker of your thesis.
Is english your first language? Mine is not, but I still manage to stay focused and compose a coherent sentence.
“I understand the murdering of Jews was a terrible thing, but I wasn’t alive and it didn’t affect me or how I live my life or care for my love ones. So why should something over many years affect me today?”
Well to normal people (you excluded) history and memories have to remind people NOT TO DO THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.
The human being is supposed to be a learning creature. Not like the trained monkey, who merely repeats gestures, but as a living mind that see, remembers and makes sure not to do the same mistakes again.
So if you think that the holocaust should be set aside just because mighty visio wasn’t born yet, then you have a very limited vision of human progress.
“That’s a sad thing that happened to the Jewish people of Amsterdam and Germany, but I won’t loose sleep and neither will you.”
Well, this is the most stupid argument you could possibly make. You know nothing about me and how this thing can or cannot affect me.
You MUST be muslim. Only a muslim can come up with nazi mentality like yours, but let’s go on, you are doing a pretty good job making an a$$ out of yourself.
But let me repeat that the above sentence truly makes you a DESPICABLE individual.
“What’s relevant is today, when Muslim Americans are looked upon as evil. People stare and point. Treat them differently, not because they did something themselves, but because a small fraction of the people who practice the same religion and are from the same geographical location.”
ooooh, visio, I see the victimhood card played here.
It’s not muslim americans, it’s muslims EVERYWHERE. Take your head out of your prophetic a$$, visio, nobody wants a mosque in europe, everytime muslims wants a mosque, people of all class and colors sign petitions, and this happens EVERYWHERE.
It’s not a “small fraction”, visionaire, 40% of muslims in britain wants application of sharia law. 30% of muslims in UK claim suicide bombing in the UK is not that bad.
Do you understand this?
You are happy for the holocaust.
“To say that, I’m in favor of Pedophiles is stupid. It’s disgusting, but I protect my kids. Yes, this is a crime the should be severely punished. What sense are you making.”
I am following your flawless reasoning, visionaire, since you are not a jew, the holocaust doesn’t affect you.
You said it yourself twice. No need to be clearer. You are a disgusting anti-semite.
“Don’t punish me because of my beliefs, religion, affiliation, color, creed or nationality. You are in some ways trying to call me the “N” word, but I’m am not black. So don’t go in that direction.”
please control your mental paranoia, you are obsessed with race, you play the race/victimhood card. That is a well known tactic used by muslims like yourself to activate the passive/aggressive mode in which they try to stop any kind of confront (especially when they don’t have substantial subjects) and scream racist.
Visio ,you are truly pathetic. You were the first and only one to use the “race” word in the first place.
“Why is it dangerous? What are you saying about Islam? What does Obama’s ties have to do with anything? What about ties to KKK or any other extremist group?”
I wrote it already, if you are unable to read, get some help. I have no time to write it again all over just because an ignorant muslim is oblivious to facts and logic.
You want to know about the ties of OBama and KKK? GOOGLE them, the KKK is supporting obama.
“You may not be racist, you just don’t care for people who don’t feel or think like you? mmm, what does that sound like?”
surely better than being an anti-semite like yourself.
“Okay, where Muslims the only group looting? come now you mean to tell me the world was at bliss before Muslims arrived on the scene. Give me a break.”
I suppose you wouldn’t be able to point europe on a map even if your life depended on it.
Yes, the world was a bliss. Greeks invented democracy, build a civilization later took by the romans and even when the barbarians invaded the roman empire, they LEARNT from previous civilization and went on with progress.
Muslims added nothing to any civilization.
“What about pirates? Yes, it sounds funny, but Pirates are real. ”
the pirates in the mediterranean sea were muslims, moron. Drop the koran and pick up a history book.
“What about KKK? Yes the pillage killed and murdered. What about Nazis? Pillaged killed and murdered. What about the Egyptians, pillaged killed and murdered.”
Well, the mufti of jerusalem was very friend with hitler, and you would probably agree with him since you have no problem with jews extermination. But kkk and nazis have been stopped very quickly. They haven’t been operating 1400 years like you muslims have.
The egyptians gave the world a great culture and civilization, they are the ones who gave us pyramids, not the egyptians of today who lives off wester charities, their main occupation back then wasn’t robbing caravans, that was a peculiarity of the muslim beduins.
What was mohammad’s job? robbing caravans. Stealing from others.
“DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M TEACHING YOU!”
visionaire, you’re not teaching me anything, you try to use big words (when you rarely succeed in spelling them correctly) but your whole point is antisemitic, vile, muslim suprematist stuff.
“The unbalance spectrum of society causes these flaws. ”
according to your extremely stupid theory, Vietnam is a poor country, therefore, there should be vietnamese around the world blowing themselves up. Also Armenia is a poor country. Do you see Armenians harassing population abroad to make their point come across?
Don’t you see the huge flaw in your theory?
Now you’re going to tell me that if we were more generous and fill the muslims’ mouths with money, it will be all better.
Well, visionaire, have you seen how pricey is OIL? Those money all goes to middle eastern countries? Why you muslims aren’t able to use all that wealth well?
CRY ME A RIVER
“You couldn’t survive a minute anywhere, but Boise, Idaho. That is where you’re blogging from, right?”
you must be derange, visionaire. I was born and live in EUROPE and travelled the whole europe and everywhere, you muslims are a plague on the local population.
Beside, what do you have against Idaho, you must be racist.
Maybe they are too christians for your taste?
They won’t submit to your moon god?
They are jews?
And you have the guts to say to others they THEY are prejudiced! Can you look yourself in the mirror and say HYPOCRITE?
“Yes, I know the history of Europe and Muslims where not hated and to be clear”
Here’s a simple question. There are descendants of all kinds of “barbarians” in Europe, the huns, the gots, but the muslims were kicked out on 3 fronts, Lepanto, Poitiers and Vienna. They have been kicked out from sicily and Andalusia.
If they were so loved, why they have been kicked out? REMEMBER: we didn’t kick out the normans, the huns, the goths. Descendants of those populations nowadays are in Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, Poland etc.
“So get a clue baby and read a book.”
LOL, did you get your diploma by correspondence?
I am not thanking you at all. You are merely showing how ignorance and stupidity are the most common commodity today.
Add also “3 little pigs” in your library, that seems more your level.
Visionaire, I do not love you at all, not like a brother or anything. I do not associate myself with muslim suprematists and antisemites.

They speak of the standard view as “Arab bashing” and cite pro-government screeds: “But the “Arab bashing” that has accompanied the (anti-) Sudan campaign, as The Guardian’s journalist Jonathan Steele has described in his October 7, 2005 article “Darfur wasn’t Genocide and Sudan is not a Terrorist State,” raises legitimate questions regarding alternative motives and agendas (7).”
Very interesting. I wonder if Obama thinks that “Darfur was Genocide and Sudan is a Terrorist State”? Might be worth finding out. Does he or doesn’t he agree that the Arab muslims are the aggressors and the Black muslims are victims, that what has happened, and is still happening there, qualifies as ethnic cleansing, genocide, and/or terrorism?

Broadsidejohn:Obama said that the Muslim “call to prayer” is “one of the most beautiful things he has ever heard.” He mentioned, in an interview with George Steponallofus, his “Muslim faith” twice, before George had to remind him that he was nominally “Christian.” Obama’s change will mean that, in “Muslim communities” women will be required to cover their heads when venturing outside and Christians and Jews will need to avoid, lest they be threatened or assaulted, like London and other British cities. The police have warned the Brits that they will not protect them, and ours will not protect us. Muslim “footbaths” in some cities, Islamic insurance plans being proudly offered by insurance companies, separate college dorms for Muslim men being called for. The British government now recognizing and enforcing judgments by “Islamic Courts” set up all over the country and staffed by “clerics.” This is the “change” put forth by Obama, although George W wasn’t too concerned either. Americans, prepare to convert.

The Black Muslims hate people other than them, i.e. White people, Jews and others. Are you just waiting for the “Mother Ship” to take you up in it to join Louis Farrakhan? Did a Muslim mad scientist create white people in a lab? This, along with other lunatic stuff, is what Black Muslims think. Maybe you just need to put down your crack pipe or ganja, and learn to be a decent citizen of America.
