Episode 280: Communication Necessities

Administrative comment: Continually apologizing for the late posts and then posting late the following week is getting a tad repetitive, so I'll explain rather than make excuses. There are some big things being planned for the podcast as well as a new endeavor. Nothing is going to change for quite some time (in Internet terms of time, at least), however if you're a blogger, podcaster or vodcaster that is interested in hearing more about the rumblings of an interesting project, contact me directly.

This week we talked about the things necessary for a good, civil conversation. We also identified the real definition of the concept and also what it is not. Civility does not equate with watering down or with changing a message just to make it palatable to a wide audience. If you want to hear more, listen to the podcast!

Is Obama a Muslim?

By SecondLife Author QWERTY Beeswing


Obama’s religious affiliation has been a question since the beginning of his campaign for president. He claims to be a Christian but is that what we are seeing? Jesus Christ said, “By their fruits, ye shall know them.” If this is true then what can we make of the fruits in Obama’s life? What are his actions telling us?
There are several things that would lead us to believe that Obama is not a true Christian. His support for abortion and other things in society that are in strong contrast with Biblical teachings. These are hints to his lack of Christian faith. In June of 2006 he made reference to “The Sermon on the Mount”, 

"Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let's read our bibles. Folks haven't been reading their bibles."

Here, not only is he insulting to Christians but he also implies that the thought of practical application of the Bible is ludicrous. 
I don’t want to spend too much time disproving his Christian faith because I feel he does a good job of that on his own.
The real question is…is he Muslim?
Let’s look at some facts…

In February of 2007 Obama was interviewed by the New York Times. He stated that the Muslim call to prayer was “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth”.  He then recited it "with a perfect [Arabic] accent," according to The Times!! 

September 8, 2008, Obama slips up while being interviewed by ABC's George Stephanopoulos. He says 'my Muslim faith' in the interview!! 

Obama has of yet to attend one National Day of Prayer event since his election but he clearly spends time at the White House observing Muslim religious holidays and practices such as his recent hosting of an Iftar dinner breaking the Ramadan fast.   

He bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia and then lied about it afterwards.  

He spent somewhere in the ballpark of $23 million promoting Kenya’s new pro-abortion, pro-Sharia constitution. (Sharia Law is the same law that is practiced in most Muslim countries. Sharia law encourages the harsh treatment of women among other civil rights abuses.) 

Obama has also made disturbing statements about the United States denying it is a Christian nation. “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.” He’s also been noted as saying the U.S. is “one of the largest Muslim nations in the world.”  

A notable practice among Muslims is called taqiyya. This allows for total denial of the Muslim faith if necessary for Muslims while remaining faithful to Islam.

{A} problem concerning law and order {with respect to Muslims in dar al-harb} arises from an ancient Islamic legal principle — that of taqiyya, a word the root meaning of which is "to remain faithful" but which in effect means "dissimulation." It has full Quranic authority (3:28 and 16:106) and allows the Muslim to conform outwardly to the requirements of unislamic or non-Islamic government, while inwardly "remaining faithful" to whatever he conceives to be proper Islam, while waiting for the tide to turn. (Hiskett, Some to Mecca Turn to Pray, 101.) 

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 269; Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "War is deceit." 

So you see…according to Islam he can deny his faith without consequence to deceive the infidel.
Over the few short months in office Obama has alienated Israel. Below is a verse from the Quran that gives instruction about relationships with Jews and Christians.

From the Quran - 5:51 O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who ...taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. 

If he’s not a Muslim, as he says, he’s doing a pretty good job of convincing the American people otherwise!! We can’t possibly know in all certainty whether he is or is not Muslim but as Jesus said “By their fruits, ye shall know them.”
