You've been brainwashed into believing that... Have you also been told that they teach communism at Madarasas?
Did you read the damn link? I know you didn't, but I thought I'd call you out on it. Don't you know that Benazir Bhutto led the PPP party in Pakistan? Don't you know that is a Democratic Socialist Islamic Party? Did you not know this?

To paraphrase you from another thread:
"Who cares what Pakistan does? Ever thought about moving there if you like it so much?"

But on a serious note, not only do you have a messed up idea of Islam and communism, so much so that you see the latter as sitting well with Islamic theocracy, you are also utterly clueless about the political set up elsewhere. But then, that also applies to your ideas of your own country's political architecture. Hint: Democratic Socialism, or Social Democrats <> Communism.

Imagination must not be confused with indoctrination.

I'm a republican and even I know that Obama is one of the more moderate liberals to hold office. The **** that came out of his mouth before he took office, in his earlier days as a politician was largely liberal BS, but he never really lived up to the expectations of the far left.

Let us hope NOBODY lives up to the expectations of the far left or the far right. That will be a disaster at hand.

As for Obama, I was amused at people (and the culprits were usually right wing talk show pundits) talking about Obama as an extreme leftists. I saw two possibilities:
1- They were dumb.
2- They weren't, but their audience were.

Are you kidding me? That IS NOT a fringe position on the right. It's a mainstream position on the right and you know it.

Out of all the dumb threads that pop up on C-D and you call THIS ONE out for ridicule? Please...

There have been a few people who claimed to be Communist and Muslim--Obama's father was NOT one of them-- but they are essentially irreconcilable ideologies.
