“While Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has tried to push his Muslim origins into the background, his ‘Islamic roots’ have won him a place in many a Muslim heart.”
That’s the observation of Persian/Iranian-born commentator Amir Taheri, whose column in Tuesday’s New York Post notes that Muslims see Obama as “one of them.”
They see that Obama has Arabic-Islamic names: Barack means “blessed” and Hussein means “beautiful.” His last name is Swahili, an East African language based on the Arabic language. Taheri writes. Barack’s sister is named Oumah, Arabic for “the community of the faithful;” Barack’s own daughter Malia bears the name of a daughter of the noted Caliph Othman; and his father and stepfather were both Muslims.
Although Taheri did not note it, Obama was raised as a Muslim when he lived in the Muslim country of Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. While there, he studied at two schools and was registered at both as a Muslim student.
As such he received Islamic religious instruction, studied the Koran, and prayed with other students, and attended mosque, with his stepfather.
Obama’s religious upbringing after Indonesia is somewhat of a mystery until his late 20s. At that point, Obama says he converted to Christianity after meeting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago. This is interesting because Jeremiah Wright is a Malcolm X Muslim, and preaches a religion of hate disguised as Christianity. This is why Wright wants god to damn America, his god Allah. .
Obama has maintained strong support from American Muslims, including Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam movement. Farrakhan has endorsed Obama and has called him the Muslim “Messiah.” Meaning the Twelfth Caliphate of the Nation of Islam.
These factors have made Obama a big hit in the Arab world, where he has received wide praise, including: The Syrian regime that has indicated its preference for Obama.
Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has written: “The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the U.S. but for the entire human family.”
The Muslim world knows exactly what that word “Change” means. To a Muslim it means conversion and subjugation to Islam.
Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi called Obama “a Muslim” and said: “All the people in the Arab and Muslim world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcome him and pray for his success.”
.
Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said this year: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.”
Hezbollah’s second in command, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, urged Americans to vote for Obama as a step toward peace with Islam, and pro-Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb said there is “no doubt Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency,” according to Taheri.
In Saudi Arabia, commentator Hussein Shobokshi wrote that an Obama presidency “would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is an indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena.” (Emphasis mine)
Some columnists also have noted Obama’s close ties to several Palestinian radicals, including Columbia University Prof. Rashid Khalidi — former communications director for the Palestinian Liberation Organization — and another Palestinian political activist, the late Edward Said, said “the Arab street also favors Obama. Recent surveys found that he is the preferred candidate in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates just to name a few”.
THE BOTTOM LINE: You may not believe that Obama is a Muslim but it is obvious that the Nation of Islam believes that he is a Muslim. The Bible says: ‘Paraphrased’ Train up a child and point him in the direction that he should go and he will not depart from it. With the direction that Obama has been pointed in as a child, where do you think he will go?
And he will not depart from it…
