Many, if not most,<BR/> of the world’s Muslims feel that “Obama may not want to be counted as a Muslim but Muslims are eager to count him<BR/> as one of their own.” One Obama problem may be that if he is seen by radical Islamists <BR/>as someone who denounced the Muslim religion to become a Christian, his background can be exploited to <BR/>“argue that an apostate is leading the war on terror…” which can then help terrorists “…galvanize (additional) <BR/>sympathizers into action.” [252]<BR/><BR/><BR/>While Obama serves on the board of the Woods Fund, it approves (in 2001) a $40,000 grant to the <BR/>“Arab American Action Network” (AAAN); a second grant, for $35,000, is approved in 2002.<BR/> President of the AAAN is Mona Khalidi, wife of Rashid Khalidi, a professor Obama met while at Columbia University.<BR/> Khalidi, a former spokesman for Yassir Arafat, anti-Semite, strong critic of Israel, and supporter of Palestinian terrorism<BR/> and the PLO, later holds fundraisers for candidate Obama. AAAN calls the founding of Israel a “catastrophe,”<BR/> supports liberal immigration reform in the United States, and encourages giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens.<BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/>Serving on the board of the AAAN is Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian-American, anti-Semite,<BR/> co-founder of “Electronic Intifada,” and long-time friend of Obama. Abunimah refers to Jews as malicious liars, <BR/>and even suggests they lied about the Holocaust, writing, “if Zionists could lie about their present and ongoing torment<BR/> of my (Palestinian) people, usurpation of my homeland and arrogation of my rights, and they do it rather obscenely,<BR/>couldn't they likewise lie, equally obscenely, about the holocaust, an event that took place over half a century ago?" <BR/><BR/><BR/>In 2001, Obama introduces Senate Bill 750, the “Halal Food Act,” which requires the Department of Agriculture<BR/> to conduct inspections to insure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law. [348]<BR/><BR/><BR/>In 2003, Obama attends a dinner held in honor of Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel,<BR/> and advocate of Palestinian rights. Obama, who has consistently denied a close relationship with Khalidi <BR/>(the Obamas have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and used them as occasional baby-sitters),<BR/> praises Khalidi during the decidedly anti-Semitic event. William Ayers attends the party, <BR/>and both Ayers and Obama sign Khalidi’s “guest book.” The event is a going away party for Khalidi, <BR/>who is leaving Chicago and moving to New York. The Los Angeles Time has a videotape of the event,<BR/> but refuses to release it.” The dinner is sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, <BR/>to which Obama had funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund. <BR/>One speaker remarks that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, <BR/>Israel “will never see a day of peace.” <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the Khalidi dinner, but refuses to make it public;<BR/> it is assumed the tape’s contains are damaging to candidate Obama, likely because the event<BR/> included anti-Semitic sentiments. Appearing as entertainment at the Khalidi dinner was a children’s dance group,<BR/> the “Sanabel AlQuds Dabka” troupe. The Milwaukee-based Muslim children’s dance group typically performs the “debka,”<BR/> a Middle-Eastern dance. That dance group’s performance has been known to include “simulated beheadings” with fake swords,<BR/> and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>It has also been alleged that, in his speech at the Khalidi dinner, Obama states that<BR/> “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine,” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by<BR/> (the) Israelis.” <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Obama visits Kenya in 2006, and gives support to Raila Odinga, <BR/>a Muslim socialist candidate for President who has ties to both al Qaeda and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi and <BR/>was educated in communist East Germany, and who hopes to get Sharia Muslim law established. Odinga is a cousin of Obama;<BR/> Odinga’s mother is the sister of Obama’s father.<BR/><BR/>In support of Odinga, Obama raises approximately $950,000. The cash for Odinga comes from private meetings <BR/>in 2006 arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy advisor on Obama’s staff.<BR/> Odinga visits Obama during three separate trips to Washington in 2004, 2005, and 2006.<BR/> Odinga promises his supporters in Kenya that he will “rewrite the Constitution of Kenya<BR/>to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared religion.”<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Note the following pledges of candidate Odinga, who received support from Obama: Re-write the Constitution of <BR/>Kenya to recognize Muslim Sharia law for Muslim regions; facilitate the establishment of a Sharia court <BR/>in every Kenyan divisional headquarters; order every primary school to conduct daily Madrassa classes; <BR/>impose a total ban on open-air Christian gospel crusades; outlaw gospel programs on KBC; <BR/>impose a total ban on the consumption of alcoholic beverages; <BR/>and impose an immediate ban on women’s public dressing styles that are considered immoral<BR/> and offensive to the Muslim faith.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On January 24, the “Obama Exploratory Committee” releases this statement, <BR/>“To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim,<BR/> and is a committed Christian who attends the (Trinity) United Church of Christ in Chicago.”<BR/><BR/> On March 14, that statement is clarified, as follows: "Obama was never a practicing Muslim." <BR/>Obama’s web site eventually includes this statement: "Obama Has Never Been A Muslim."<BR/><BR/><BR/>New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof interviews Obama and writes,<BR/> “Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.<BR/> In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated... Mr. Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as<BR/> ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’” The interview has since been deleted from the New York Times web pages.<BR/> (Interestingly, although Obama says he was never a Muslim and never practiced the religion,<BR/> he is able to recite from memory something he learned in a school in Indonesia more than 30 years earlier.) <BR/><BR/><BR/>In 2007, Obama tells the Des Moines Register that “…nobody’s suffering more than the Palestinian people.” <BR/><BR/>On April 30, 2007, in an interview with the New York Times, Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, says, <BR/>“My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.” <BR/><BR/><BR/>Obama tells friend Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago, that he was sorry he wasn’t talking more<BR/> about the Palestinian cause, but his primary campaign had “constrained” what he could say. Abunimah tells radio talk show<BR/> “Democracy Now!” he knew Obama for many years and “when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community <BR/>in Chicago all the time.” Abunimah responds to Obama’s sudden about-face and soft support of Israel during the campaign <BR/>by remarking, "He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it<BR/> as long as it keeps him in power."<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Obama ousts his campaign’s Muslim outreach director, Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, when questions about his ties to <BR/>a radical Muslim imam and the Muslim Brotherhood surface, along with links to the Islamic Society of North America <BR/>(an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas-terrorist-funding case). Asbahi was a board member <BR/>of the Allied Asset Advisor Fund (associated with the North American Islamic Trust), with Jamal Said <BR/>(imam of a radical Chicago area mosque who raised money for Hamas and families of its suicide bombers). <BR/>Despite losing his official position with the campaign, Asbahi continues to work for Obama,<BR/> participating in conference calls.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Obama avoids casting a Senate vote on a November, 2007 resolution that declares the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, <BR/>an elite part of the Iranian military, a terrorist organization.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>In June, Obama delivers a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee,<BR/>in which he states that if he is elected president, "Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel <BR/>and it must remain undivided." Immediately following the speech, Obama reverses himself during a CNN appearance, <BR/>explaining he only meant that Jerusalem shouldn't be divided with any physical partition.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Obama tells Jeffrey Goldberg of “The Atlantic” that Israel is a “constant sore” that “infects all of our foreign policy” <BR/>During the July trip, Obama privately remarks that it would be “crazy” for Israel to refuse a deal that would <BR/>“give them peace with the Muslim world.” The source reporting the comment is likely Robert O Malley, <BR/>an Obama advisor with strong anti-Israel leanings. [497]<BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>In July, Obama tells Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad that he<BR/> “supports the rights of Palestinians to East Jerusalem, as well as their right to a stable, sovereign state,” <BR/>but asks them to keep his pledge confidential. Obama’s promise is meant to calm Palestinian fears that developed from a <BR/>June speech in which he said that if he is elected, “Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and it must remain<BR/> undivided.”<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>In October of 2008, Obama’s newly appointed “Muslim Outreach Advisor,” Minha Husaini, is criticized for having met with <BR/>extremist Islamic groups on September 15; Husaini’s predecessor had resigned because of connections to a <BR/>radical Muslim cleric. Among those meeting with Husaini was Mazen Asbahi (who Husaini had just replaced as <BR/>outreach director) and Mahdi Bray, who has publicly supported Hamas and Hezbollah, and Johari Abdul Malik,<BR/> a Falls Church, Virginia cleric, who told followers in November of 2004, “You will see Islam move from being<BR/> the second largest religion in America – to being the first religion in America.” <BR/><BR/>Dr. Vibert White, Jr., a former top-ranking official of the Nation of Islam, confirms in an interview that <BR/>Obama has deep ties to the group and its vitriolic, anti-Semitic leader, Louis Farrakhan. <BR/>Farrakhan had hailed Obama as the “new messiah” in his February, 2008 endorsement of the candidate. <BR/>Farrakhan has a history of anti-Jew statements, calling them “bloodsuckers” and “satanic.” Farrakhan states that<BR/> he enjoys an “open channel” of communication with Obama. <BR/><BR/>The British press reports on January 9 that Obama may abandon <BR/>the U.S. policy of isolating Hamas and will implement communications with the terrorist organization. <BR/>This policy change contradicts Obama’s pro-Israel stance during the election campaign.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Obama’s pick for “regulatory czar” is Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law School professor who advocacy for almost unlimited <BR/>extension of rights includes rights for animals. Sunstein believes all hunting and meat-eating should be banned,<BR/> and has argued that animals should be permitted to file lawsuits, with human beings as their representatives in court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-51836576669165107662009-01-25T22:27:00.000+02:002009-01-25T22:27:00.000+02:00Back in the Clinton/Albright/Christopher days I wa...Back in the Clinton/Albright/Christopher days I was frequently overheard muttering that, "Whenever those goyim call for a 'time-out on Jewish settlement activity', I wish Israel's leaders would have the <I>beitzim</I> to say, 'What, <B>TWO THOUSAND YEARS</B> wasn't enough of a "time-out" to satisfy you people?!'"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
