Obama The Muslim?

The White House has been pushing back hard of late, not only defending President Barack Hussein Obama from charges that he's a closet Muslim but declaring him a mainstream Christian who 'prays daily'.

Ann Coulter responded to this in typically witty form, saying "The nonsense about President Obama being a Muslim has got to stop. I rise to defend him from this absurd accusation by pointing out that he is obviously an atheist."

While Ann Coulter (as she always does), makes a strong case to back up what she has to say, I have to disagree with her here.

While he was raised as a Muslim ( and saw fit to lie about it during the campaign) it's obvious to me that Barack Hussein Obama's religion is Barack Hussein Obama. He is a narcissist who worships at his own altar.

His religion certainly isn't Christianity. No one who spent two decades in Jeremiah Wright's Trinity Church, considered Wright a spiritual mentor and exposed his children to the hatred peddled there could ever be considered a Christian.

But if a Black man who was considering a political career noticed that Trinity United just happens to be Chicago's largest and most politically connected black church, he might just be tempted to step in and use it as a stepping stone. Especially if he basically agreed with the politics.

As a matter of interest, Rev Wright was at one time a member of the Nation of Islam, which is how he and nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan got to be such good buddies. For that matter, a certain young community organizer named Barack Hussein Obama was a proud attendee of the anti-Semitic, racist orgy organized and led by Farrakhan known as the Million Man March.

For that matter, Obama has a number of long standing connections with the Nation of Islam and his hero and role model, by his own admission, was the arch anti-Semite and Nation of Islam icon Malcolm X.

Again, not exactly how mainstream Christians behave.

Does any of this have any bearing on Obama's presidency? Well, yes and no.

There's no religious test for office in America, and there shouldn't be. But it is entirely appropriate for people to examine what someone believes and make judgments based on that. It's even more appropriate to examine someone's actions in light of what's known about their beliefs and make those judgments.

If Barack Hussein Obama sat in a church for two decades that peddled the racist ideology of Black Liberation Theology, are people entitled to explore that to explain some of his judgments, comments and actions when it comes to race?

If a president of the United States declares that America is one of the world's largest Muslim nations, defies common sense by making it official policy not to mention radical Islam as a cause of terrorism, announces that he considers himself the defender of Islam in America, makes controversial appointments and constantly makes apologetic speeches and gestures appeasing the Muslim world, is it legitimate for people to speculate on what his ties to Islam might be? Especially when he already lied about it once before?

Of course it is. And it's almost comical that the Obama White House would be shocked that a significant number of the American people are doing just that.

However,I'm sure the White House spinmeisters are already working very hard on this.Look for Barack Obama to pull a Bill Clinton by getting photographed publicly going to church carrying a large Bible with a huge cross on it.
