This is a very welcome and helpful article by Phyllis Chesler. There may be even more to this than one might at first realise... It’s interesting to note the controversy of Obama’s Islamic connections have never been quite resolved. Daniel Pipes, the suitably well qualified and cautious expert says on http://www.danielpipes.org/5286/was-barack-obama-a-muslim

Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, "I've always been a Christian" and "I've never practiced Islam"

I don’t think Obama is remotely concerned that he might be dealing with “barbarians” (even though that is exactly what he is doing). In fact in my opinion he feels very close to them, though hides this well (al-Taqiyya; standard Muslim deceit) and is utilising his extraordinary coup in becoming president to discretely channel vast amounts of American tax-dollars (officially estimated to be arround $900m but probably far more in the end if he can get away with it) both directly and indirectly into the hands of terrorists, dictators and Islamic despots around the world. I found a good summary of this (with further links) on http://pasadenajews.blogspot.com/2009/02/seraphic-secret-stimulus-package-for.html Apart from being used to kill vast numbers of innocent people over the next few years, much of this money (American tax-dollars, remember) is almost certain to help further boost the luxurious lifestyles of already fabulously wealthy murderers and despots around the world. Obviously it will do little if anything to help the starving refugees and other victims (of Islam, incidentally, and not Israel or the West or anyone else) that it is claimed to be in aid of. [Personally I think it would make far better sense - given the state of the ecconnomy - to spend all of this money on improving the lives of Americans at home rather than Islamic dictators and terrorist organisations abroad]. If it is not his intention and secret agenda to help terrorists and further the expansion of Islamic theocracy (in other words anything and everything Sharia) then the only other possible explanation is that he must be a very innocent and naive man indeed! Either way it’s incredibly bad news for America, for Israel and for all of Western Civilization.

You know, Phyllis, the sad fact of the matter is that the dems have been taken over by the hard Left. If you want to hang with genuine liberals, you have to look to the Republicans.

@ # 84, Marty

Thanks for your interpretation of the Cavafy poem. In fact, you aren’t telling me anything new – yours and other interpretations I’ve run across are just that, interpretations.

But I was dismayed that you didn’t address the main ideas of my post – possibly because you didn’t quite understand what I was saying.

Therefore, I strongly urge you to go back and re-read my post most carefully. It is quite enlightening.

What do you mean (half) African American. First of all, define African American? You can’t, it’s a made up media word, that means different things to different people. Africa is a continent, not a race. Now, if you had sad half black, you would be right. To take it a step further, the fact that his father is African and his mother is American, he could actually qualify for being an African American in whole, not in part. But he’s simply an American, that happens to be of mixed race. He has obviously chosen to identify with the race he most resembles I presume. So let’s just let him be that. I think you pay too much attention to the media and not your own common sense, if there is any.

The open source intelligence newsletter GeoStrategy Direct reports …

The United States has abandoned its policy of sanctioning companies that aid Iran’s nuclear and missile program, they said.
The officials said the new Obama administration of has decided to end sanctions against Iranian government agencies or companies that aid Teheran’s missile and nuclear program. The officials said Israel has been informed of the new U.S. policy.
“We were told that sanctions do not help the new U.S. policy of dialogue with Iran,” an official said.

It seems pretty hard to blame this on Bush.

@ #27, Whistle_Blower

You fail to understand anything but the superficial literal meaning of Cavafy’s poem.

In fact, the citizens crave invasion. They have become decadent and ennervated, and they need the barbarians’ purpose and drive to infuse energy into their culture.

Go read it again.

Obviously, Whistle_Blower knows nothing about Islamic law and teachings. If s/he did, s/he’d know that the atrocities described by Ms Chesler are behaviours carried out by Mohammad — ‘the perfect man’ and enshrined in Islamic sharia or law. Ambush attacks, mutilations, beheadings of hostages, torture — all these Mohammad himself carried out. The dormant Muslims who don’t behave like this are simply ignoring the doctrines. THank God (not ALlah, who is as bloodthirsty as his creator)

@Lynn:

“Here is an evidence of truth. A faith whose diety calls for the blood of men, woman and children to satisfy it’s lust for power over the earth is not a diety of love or a diety of truth.”

Does a just love and truth have to satisfy your definition of a deity, to become a deity? Or could they be just, and just be a deity?
