Are you in yer right mind.You mean you didn't know that Obama was fully in support of Morsi from the very beginning.Forget the White House ] visits.Obama in fact backed Morsi. You actually mean you weren't aware of that. Yeah,Obama uses doubletalk to act as if he kinda does kinda doesn't. That's supposed to be considered his charm.
Starting at the end of this month the Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam. 20,000 Muslims are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political. ”Jumah at the DNC” begins August 29 and will start with a Friday afternoon jummah prayer followed by other unnamed programs and events, leading up to the Islamic Regal Banquet. The following day will be an all day Islamic Cultural and Fun Fest which will include discussions on the topics of Islamaphobia, Anti-Shariah, Middle Eastern Crisis, Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and more. The purpose, according to BIMA, is to attract national and international attention to the plight of American Muslims and to hold political parties accountable for issues that affect them. t is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates. They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and have demonstrated support for radical ideologies. A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American Islamist movement. While they may be able to get a few thousand Muslims to attend the event, they are NOT going to be mainstream Muslims. Most will likely come from Hough and Wahhaj’s radical networks that have long been entrenched in the Charlotte area. Make no mistake they are part of the Islamist movement. This is not about their right of assembly; this group under a different name pulled the same stunt at the US capitol in 2009 claiming 20k and getting 2-3k. THIS IS ABOUT the DNC calling this an “official function” listing these radicals as typical of the DNC community and more importantly about this organization speaking out AS representing supposedly typical American Muslims (or “Mainstream”. If that is who the DNC is consorting with then all Americans, Democrats should be concerned. There are many patriotic Muslims who are part of both parties, and when radical ideologues like this do a demonstration of “solidarity” in the name of our faith and choose an imam like Siraj Wahhaj who I saw with my own eyes in 1995 seditiously say it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran- then we need to speak up! Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB (Muslim Brotherhood) sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas. They use our American Muslim identity to speak as “one community” as a political unit or as a “bloc vote” – a political Islamist party when in fact most us Muslims don’t want that political unity and seek reform against their ideology that seeks to hijack our community.
Just another right wing insult threads, backed up by nothing but hate for our president. This site has deteriorated since I first joined. Use to like to watch the debates but now all we get on here is insults mixed with wild emotions. Debates are one by presenting the best arguments based on facts use o words like president camel jockey only demonstrates how small minded an individual is.
His many speeches.No finer proof as to his will.He targetted Republicans and The Tea Party often { even calling them **********s in an interview }.
America needs Muslim immigrants in huge numbers. Turn them loose on leftists. - - - Updated - - - Uncle Sam lost the war against al Qaeda. Now Obama is allied with al Qaeda in Libya and Syria while al Qaeda's allies kill American soldiers in Afghanistan.
You right wing morons are so amusing. Obama supports a DEMOCRATICALLY elected government, whether it be the Muslim Brotherhood or not. They were elected by the Egyptians. You guys are so filled with hate you're ignoring that fact. Right now it's basically a miltiary coup happening but you refuse to aknowlege that small fact.
Obama has united the Egyptian people in hatred for Obama and his ambassador. Do you acknowledge that fact?
This unfortunately is correct. And it the secular, the educated and the prior pro west looking egyptians who are the most critical. Thankfully, they are sophisticated enough and educated enough to make the distinction of admiration of americans- and actually a deep liking for most of us- and US foreign policy represented unfortunately by our beleaguered ambassador
Foolardi, where is the evidence to back up your assertions? If you are talking about the original demonstrations/revolution centered on Tahrir Square, that was a mix of all factions opposing the Mubarak regime (started originally by mainly young secularist democrats) that the Obama administration waffled on before deciding to back the demonstrators. I can't find any evidence that Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt until the results of the election that brought Morsi to (short-lived) power were known. Please provide your evidence to the contrary, or please stop talking nonsense.
We have democracy in our country. Just because your guy didn't win the election doesn't mean democracy is dead in the US.
This is a straw man and I never made any such argument. Who's 'my guy' BTW? The USA has the illusion of democracy. You would have to restore independent oversight and verification of the vote count (instead of trusting corporate computers) so basically get rid of the computers so you have a paper trail, and then states would have to stop preventing third party candidates from having fair ballot access by getting rid of their ridiculous requirements that the 'two-party' candidates don't have to worry about. You would also have to re-outlaw corporate bribery of politicians, to get them representing their constituents again, instead of the corporations like they currently do.
