Will Obama Allow the Islamification of America?

Manchurian Candidate, Simply Overwhelmed, or Asleep at the Wheel?

According to Frank Gaffney, President Obama has allegedly slighted British Prime Minister Gordon Brown—and yet, in truth, Obama seems to be following in Britain’s very European pro-Arab and pro-Islamist footsteps.

According to the office of Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, Obama’s first call to a foreign head of (a non-existent) state was to him. The White House did not deny that this was so. Obama’s first interview in the foreign media was with Al-Arabiya. According to Daniel Pipes, (who is far from “shocked” by Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s various changes of mind vis a vis Israel), Clinton has insisted, (some say: “suggested”), that Israel speed up the release of funds for Gaza.

The Obama administration is also on record as committed to funding terrorist groups–Hamas–in Gaza, (all good intentions aside, that is what happens to the money that the international community pours into Gaza), and proudly on record as willing to conduct European-style “diplomacy” with states which sponsor terrorism both against Israel and against the West. Yes, I know, the hope is that evil ideologues may hesitate to bomb the countries of leaders who are making eye contact with them, who are employing reason, charm—maybe even music– in an effort to soothe the savage beast.

But Britain has still been at this longer and so far, is more Islamified and pro-Sharia than America. Indeed, Britain is about to hold a conference on March 25th, at the University of London’s School of Economics, in which known terrorists will be speaking about “political Islam.” Senior British civil servants and police officers will pony up at hefty fee (nearly two thousand pounds) to attend the event which is meant to “improve” their “understanding of radicalism.”

However, all is not lost. Heroes are increasingly standing up, heroes who are resisting the Islamification of the West, who are not rolling over and playing dead.

For example, there are Rachel Ehrenfeld, Philippe Karsenty, Geert Wilders: Heroes all, about whom I have previously written.

The indefatigable Ehrenfeld has been fighting for the rights of American authors to tell the truth—yes, even about Islam, without being sued into silence as has happened to many an author in London, which is known as the “libel tourist” capital of the world.

Karsenty stood up to the biggest blood libel of the Intifada of 2000, that concerning the alleged Israeli murder of Mohammed al-Dura in the arms of his father; after many years of a lonely struggle, Karsenty prevailed against France’s Channel Two in Paris.

Geert Wilders is now the most popular politician in Holland for his bold, sane exposure of Islamist violence, both in Holland and in the world today. As we know, he was also, and shamefully, recently deported from the UK because he came to show his film Fitna at the request of a member of the House of Lords. The film was seen as “hate speech” or as a film which would “incite hatred.”

Now, Douglas Murray, Director of the Center for Social Cohesion, joins their fabled ranks. The same country that deported a sitting member of the Dutch Parliament received, with open arms, Binyam Mohammed, lately of the Guantanamo Bay facilities. Britain has hosted many a sheik and mullah who, in their sermons and teachings, have incited enormous hatred and violence against Jews, Israel, and America and right on into the streets of Great Britain.

Now, the UK has invited Dr. Ibrahim Moussawi who is to speak at the London School of Economics. (Douglas Murray himself was recently disinvited by that London School of Appeasement; Murray was going to moderate a debate about Islam and Liberalism.) Dr Moussawi is a spokesman for the Lebanese-based militant group Hizbollah, whose military arm has been banned in Britain as a terrorist organization. Moussawi is no stranger to hate speech or to inciting hatred. He has allegedly called Jews “a lesion on the forehead of history” and said of Israel: “Pain is the only language that the enemy understands.”

Mr. Murray said that the Home Office would be “beyond hypocrisy” if it allowed Dr Ibrahim Moussawi into Britain just weeks after barring Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician, because of his alleged anti-Muslim views. Murray has written to Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, (who arrnaged for Wilders’ deportation), and informed her that he will have lawyers “seek an arrest warrant for Dr. Moussawi if he is allowed into the country.”

Mr Murray said: “This is the deepest hypocrisy, in fact, it is worse than hypocrisy on behalf of the British government… Britain is still a place where terrorists and terrorist supporters can come to incite and recruit.”

I hope that President Obama’s administration does not launch a drive to grant a visa to Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and very much his intellectual heir, who is nicely perched at…where else? Oxford University.

“Manchurian Candidate, Simply Overwhelmed, or Asleep at the Wheel?”

Answer: None of the Above. Barack Obama is a self-hating American who is existentially convinced that our country is a racist oppressor of minorities throughout the world. Thus, we should shy away from “hard” polices which will only get them angrier. Softer approaches will likely be more successful. On a practical level, this merely translates into outright appeasement of our enemies. And things are not going to get any better. The United States is in serious danger while the feckless Obama remains in office. Can we survive the next four years? Well, that’s a good question. Maybe not.

Unfortunately, I have no doubt that the answer to your question is “YES”! I can only wonder about the Jews who voted for him. Did you read the CNN article about how fewer Americans are identifying themselves as Christians and the Muslim population in the USA has doubled since 1996? We must all be vigilant because if we loose our 2nd amendment rights, we are goners. I am very worried for my children.

America is always the last bastion of freedom, that’s why the hard core left has always hated America: Shirley MacLaine, Jane Fonda, Noam Chomsky, Bill Ayers, Susan Sontag, and the same crowd, the usual suspects.

Now Obama have given them a foothold. The community organizers, the ACORNs, now have the upper hand for a while.

But they won’t for long.

And at the same time as all this is going on, a few no-good gangsters, with cow manure for brains, and who call themselves (ridiculously) the “Real IRA”, commit the vile, evil, cowardly and disgusting crime of murdering two unarmed British soldiers who were just about to set off to fight the Taliban!! Do these pathetic creatures not understand that there is now only ONE enemy for Western civilization? We need all the brave American and British soldiers we can get! Killing them because of (justifiable) past grievances is self defeating. As an Irishman, and a Republican in the TRUE sense of the word – in that I wish for a united Ireland – I abhor and have nothing but contempt for these killers. May the Lord have mercy on the souls of the murdered soldiers, and may He give the grace of strength to their loved ones to bear this cross. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam. Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.

It’s hard for me to see Obama as ever consistent or coherent in what he says or does, as he contradicts himself by the hour if not by the minute. This is not so much a matter of a deliberate malice or naivite as a new kind of mentality that afflicts the very young in our society, although many post-modernist and politically-correct oldies suffer from the same disease: an inability to think in rational terms, to follow an argument, let alone construct one. They are dupes to the powerful rhetoric of the fanatics, who, having no doubts about their beliefs, charge ahead at full steam. The fanatics are not necessarily well-read or deep-thinkers, but they smash down the thin veneer of reason and commonsense that education since the mid-1960s has already provided several generations of students– barring a few, of course, a few precious minds upon whose strength and articulateness we must now depend, we who are moving into the last light of our day.

i don’t know what is wrong with him, or if indeed he is the manchurian candidate, but whatever it is, it’s bad news. i think his snub of the british is a snub of western civilization. he seems to hate it, and us.. he certainly hates israel, which is a democratic western state, and seems to love and fawn upon the most violent insane arabs, even the jihad has his approbration. he’s a scary one. and clinton, who i am now so ashamed i supported, is just as scary as he is having turned into some sort of shadowy sycophant.

the israelis will do whatever they have to do, they have no support from this guy. but then, neither do we. all western democracies are in very great danger. perhaps he is a moslem after all, and a foreigner. there is no american president in our history, not even the most corrupt politician, who has ever behaved like this and shown no regard or respect for our culture and this great nation.

frankly, he gives me the creeps.. i pray we can vote him and his whole gang out in 4 years, that is if he hasn’t destroyed us before then.

I vote yes and yes.

BO is a 3rd or 4th rate ivy-league product (typical for Wash. DC) who is absolutely unremarkable in every respect.

Well, with the possible exception that his mediocrity may actually be more encompassing than usual.

This turkey has never accomplished anything measurable other than to talk people into giving him a succession of ever more visible jobs.

Unlike most of the ivy-league mediocrities America normally sends to DC, this bonehead actually has no practice at doing anything productive or even useful in the real world.

He is an embodiment of the all-credentials-all-the-time resume factory culture.

He is WAY out of his depth.

There is, moreover, no evidence that he is the slightest bit aware of possible and probable results of his current courses of action — neither from a historic, military, political or economic standpoint.

He has a sort of general direction in which he means to go, and outside of that small doctrinaire focus all is darkness and irrelevance.

Asleep at the switch is almost too optimistic. It implies that he might wake up, and then actually care.

BO still thinks that Franz Fannon and Edward Said are cool, advanced thinkers, great minds, humanitarians even! His deepest thoughts are the stuff of stoned, late night, sophomore year leftist BS sessions.

He’s playing for the other side.

Get used to it.

BO will do whatever he can to:
* Cripple the anti-jihad resistance
* Cripple the military dominance of the US
* Cripple the American capitalist economy

Grant a visa to Tariq Ramadan?

I’m betting that by the time BO leaves office he will have had the SOB over to the White House for dinner.

The products of America’s dumbed-down “education system” have elected themselves the first fully and truly anti-American president.

Now we will reap the whirlwind.

PS I’m betting that any Jew that voted for this Obama bum is going to have plenty to talk over with G-d come next Yom Kippur.

Mar 9, 2009 - 8:24 pm 9. Egypt the other day and Mr. Galloway:

#4 To Éamonn

IRA had been in cahoots with Islamic terrorists and engaged in arms transfers to them in Yugoslavia for use against Israel!

One can only wonder if the IRA isn’t now an armed setup in cahoots with Islamic terrorists having reached critical mass in merry old England taking the next step of Islamization! The armed struggle part!

Perhaps that somehow “dovetail” with Mr. George Gallow’s convey getting stoned in Egypt the the other day?

To be blunt: Americans will face three battles: they are as follows:

A) battle the illegals in our nation: not only Mexican, but all HB expired visas, all terrorist that have come though Mexico.

B) Muslim population here in American: where do their loyalities lay?

C) Our freedom, Our Bill of Rights, Constitution and Declaration of Independence are now under attack by the Obama admin.

I find many Americans are in the dark about how many refugees that are allowed into our nation from countries from the middle east. The main stream media is not reporting at all in regards to this news type. This influx will affect on Americans being able to get work here.

Obama wants change and transparency: It’s sad that he does not practice what he preaches. It’s even more upsetting that Americans are in the dark and many times I hear:”I don’t want to know” that phrase alone will help destroy America

Mar 10, 2009 - 6:33 am 11. Will:

Good job David T,I’m with you.Brak Hussein Obama is a charismatic master of deception and deflection,coupled with a hatred of America as we have known it,and being a puppet to liberal rich.

Mar 10, 2009 - 6:14 pm 12. Lucy:

So many people didn’t even bother to look at Obama’s polticial, social and personal history when they were considering him as their next President.

All they seemed to consider was how GOOOOD they were going to feel about having a black president to wash away all of their guilt about white dominance and black slavery. Noone seems to mind that he’s not even “black”; that he’s only half black with a white mother and what it seems a black muslim father.

If people bothered to look into his background it would be no surprise that he is going to turn USA the way of the UK: into an enforced multicultural nightmare where Islam is a dominant force and the foreign policy is against Israel.

Welcome to the new Islamic world people, if you hadn’t already noticed.

I had long admired of PC since her work with Domestic Violence victims and their children esp. Mothers on Trial; so I came to this site expecting a intelligent woman speaking truth to power. and found the Rush Lumbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Hannity and Glen Beck, David Duke mentality.
Obama hates Israel? really, although he has pledged his continuing support (in billions of dollars we send every month) and warned that the US would never allow Israel to be attacked. and has Israel moved from the middle east? it is now a WESTERN state? oh yeah, Obama is scary, and the boogie man will get you ifn ya don’t watch out. hold on to your purse and lock your doors the Black man is coming to get you. He really is a “moslem” and a foreigner? belonging to a Christian church for 20 years and never belonging to a Mosque, saying I am a Christian and I am not a Muslim, doesn’t count because bigots get to label people and that’s what you are, regardless of facts. Let’s he was born in that foreign country of Hawaii, where he walked along the beach and played basketball and all that radical stuff they do in that “foreign” Muslim country. and you are “praying” to vote him out of office in four years, even though you don’t have any idea what his accomplishments might be in four years. and the God of all mankind, the one of truth and love will answer you, oh yeah, that’s my God and no he won’t but your god the god of lies and hate he actaully may help you out, in fact, he may do you one better, your rhetoric may embloden one of your own to assassinate the president before the next election. hey but that doesn’t matter, racism always trumps reason. what does no respect and no regard for “our” culture mean? you mean white conservative culture of racism and hate, you mean the culture of let’s nuke them all. you mean the culture of let’s take out Saddam because he tortures and kills his people, so we cam torutre and kill his people. I’m sure he gives you the creeps, with his Not all white face and his strange intelligence and willingness to talk to those “we, racists” call our enemies. you rate him 3rd or 4th rate, you sound like a 1st rate racist so you should know about rating people. what is your rating scale anyway. maybe 1st rated George Bush who stayed drunk while daddy paid others to get W thru school is your model, of someone who had accomplised so much that you admire. Marjorie darling, are you just now getting worried about our freedom (were your phone calls wiretaped under the Bush adm?) our Bill of Rights, completed disregarded under Bush (whose memos prove it) and you are concerned about the declaration of indepence? really did you know it had that part about all men created equal? you think it means African-Americans too or just whites and Jewish? and gee, how many refugees have come into the US from the Middle East in the last 60 days? please tell me, I am one of the Americans who doesn’t even know, but I assume you do have that number.

He is only into populist policy. His deep bow to the Saudi King Abdullah at the G-20 was an embarassment to all Americans. Is he the MC? I don’t know for sure, but I know what I see. He is a Muslim, and is practising Taqiyya to get what he wants for Americans. Look out.
