I would not agree he is an Arab but most educated and informed people understand he is a Muslim and has defended that on many occassions.
This has been posted many times with no results so
Post PROOF that Obama is a Muslim.
Post PROOF that "most educated and informed people understand he is a Muslim"
if you believe this to be true you must have proof.....although most so-called "proof' has been shown to be a bunch of hooey so you have to come up with something new....
Did you all hear that the shooter was so upset he couldn't find a wife in the US who wanted to wear a Burka? I don't get it why the army never responded on the remarks this man has made about muslims and other very upsetting issues...How on earth could this man ever have mentally helped any militair? This man is and was a nutcase!
I have muslim friends, and no, they don't try to kill me.
Honestly, I am more scared of american right-wingers than I am of muslims.
Just look at the mess in Iraq. Why did you invade Iraq? Can you tell me again? Was your national security threatened?
Trust me, where I live, people view Americans as terrorists as well. Its just a different point of view. I condemn what happened today, but its just too obvious how people use this incident to spread their hate again.
Btw, How many muslims do you personally know?
Even people who hated Bush and hate war wont look at the American military as state sponsored terrorism, but when the results are the same as what terrorism results in (innocent, dead civilians) then is it pure nationalism that keeps most blinded to American military excesses all over the planet? I think so. When terrorists kill people with handguns or suicide vests or coordinated ambush or through the use of an IED, the fact remains they are killing a member of an occupying military in their own country. This time it happened in our country, by a Muslim who snapped. Went over the edge with guns. In an tragically ironic twist he was a graduate of VT, where the campus massacre recently took place.
However, in regards to the blindness of Americans to their own country's foreign policy, its because the mainstream media in the U.S. is utterly useless and shields everyone from the truth. Ignorance is rampant. One of the major networks in America, FOX, has a news division entirely devoted to propaganda and disinformation.
In this country, you are born and bred to be "patriotic" and your senses are continually assaulted with patriotic propaganda that is eclipsed only by savage attacks on those deemed less than "patriotic" in the eyes of rabid, largely self identified "Christian's" blind to their own sin.
I think if the killer would have had a Bible in his hand and was a member of the NRA, the administration and it's lapdog media would have been all over that.
This one has to be kept hushed and downplayed until they can think up some good reasons the poor guy massacred all those people. He will soon be made the victim.
I wonder how many American Christians would be allowed in ANY army in a Muslim country??
Zero, and no Muslim country allows Christians or Jews to immigrate to it. They believe we must have religious freedom but they don't practice it themselves at all.
I don't like Obama and did not vote for him but I think this is nit picky jumping on him for not being like Bill Clinton here. I was so sick of Clintion biting his lower lip and whimpering every time a scene called for a little emotion. Obama did not have all of the facts and expressed his disgust with the senseless act of violence. It was very early in the whole affair and even I cut him some slack on this one.
He had the facts that at that time 12 of our own was dead
that should have been his focus.
