So, why would it be bad to have a Muslim president, Buzsaw? That seems to be what you are implying.
You wouldn't be implying that all Muslims, to a person, are somehow not to be trusted?
You don't have a problem, apparently, with all of the demonstrably untrustwothy Christians in high office who have lied, cheated, stolen, and broken the law in countless ways over the years.
I don't hear you saying that we need to be suspicious of the Christian upbringing of any potential presidential candidate.
You wouldn't be quite that baldly bigoted, would you?
Nator, I know about Muslim doctrine as per the Koran, Haddith and the Sunnahs and about what Muslim leaders have practiced and proclamated over the centuries right up to the present. I have books on this, by Islamist sources as well as others. I've listened to converted Muslims tell their story. I have the Koran and have a good handle on what it teaches.
Imo, the risk the US might take electing a gifted and intelligent son of a foreign Muslim and taught three years during the impressionable years of childhood in a Wahhabe school is risky.
The Islamist bible, the Koran written by the Islamist prophet, Mohammed charges all Muslims to subjugate the planet under Allah/Islam. This is alarming to me in light of the statement of Obama relative to a kingdom on earth. Was Obama's statement a sublimal message to the leaders of Islam, perhaps some who may be conspiring to plant a Muslim conspiritor in the higest position possible in the American government? I don't know, but the risk here????
Mohammed writes:
Q2.193: And fight with them until there is no persecution, and lreligion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.
Q5.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Q9.29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book (Bible), until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Q8.12: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Q8.13: This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Apostle -- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
Q8.14: This -- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire.
Q8.15: O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them.
Q8.16: And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day -- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company -- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.

We just don't know. Perhaps there's nothing here pertaining to the candidate, Obama. I hope not, but given there is above a written conspiracy to subjugate the world under Islam by violence America would be prudent to be aware of the danger of such a thing. Remember 9/11. Billions of Saudi oil money is going to building mosques in America. Are these mosques trojan horses for Islamic takeover of America? WAKE UP, AMERICA AND BE VIGILANT!

Hi SH. Btw, I appreciate the thoughtful, forthright and interesting contribution of yours to EvC!
To answer your question, yes they do, but relatively few break from Islam due to the persecution and threats, including death, etc as prescribed by Mohammed and Islamic leaders, especially in fundi nations.
Indonesia being the largest Muslim nation in the world, I'm puzzled as to why the transition was without incident and why this is so quiet relative to this notable candidate around the Islamic world today.

Re: The Obama/Osama connection?
Thanks, and I like you to Buz.

Well that is an interesting point. Then again people still do, just as people broke away despite the inquisition. Maybe he's one of those, though I think his situation might be different.
I had friends who were islamic and broke with it. Their families tended to be more moderate. Such people do exist, even in very militant fundie societies.
why this is so quiet relative to this notable candidate around the Islamic world today.
Well likely anyone that would blast him, would think it's sort of redundant. Aren't ALL of the candidates enemies of their religion? Why would they waste time discussing his particulars?
Perhaps once he's in office they might decry it.

What exactly is the problem?
While it really looks like the claim that Obama attended a Madrasah is just another right wing smear attack, even if it were true, what would be the problem?
Even if Obama was a Muslim, what would be the problem with that?

Re: The Obama/Osama connection?
Look. Buz. Let's not play dueling bibles, kay?
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.
Deuteronomy 13:6-10
There's more where that came from.

Who knows? You'd think the alleged all-powerful god of buz's religion would be able to prevent that from happening if it wanted to, but apparently it's too powerless.

Re: The Obama/Osama connection?
Thanks, MBG--another post I don't have to make.
The "peoples of the book" (which I gather now includes Mormons as well as Jews, Christians and Muslims) could wave their bloody hands at each other darn near forever without running out of murderous quote accusations.
But it's all blood.

We ignore the enemy's warnings, pshaw the advance of militant Islam, we're appathetic to the brutality and persecution on others, glibly thinking it'l never happen to us. Last century the appathetic Europeans lost scores of millions of their countrymen and suffered severely via lack of vigilance. Like before Pearl Harbor, we ignore the threat.

Re: The Obama/Osama connection?
I've been looking for where Silent H and I and others already looked at these verses in context -- we pretty much tore this one to pieces. But I couldn't the thread. Maybe someone else can dredge it up.
On a lighter note, I found CanadianSteve's first appearance here. Ah, I have fond memories of that thread -- I see how far my argumentation skills have fallen since then.
