Obama's comment on French television on 1 June, the U.S., "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world," plus his Islamic-praised speech in Cairo, Egypt, June 4 to raise new questions about the their faith and how he views America.
Applications may also asked about his math. The CIA Factbook estimates the Muslim population in America 0.6 percent, or about 8 million before he puts them in 58th position among the nations "Muslim population as a whole. AlthoughTake the Islamic Information Center of the estimated 8 million higher, which is still in the U.S. on 29 from 60 nations.
In Cairo, he quotes the Koran, used his middle name, Hussein, and stressed that the United States and Muslim nations, the same commitment to tolerance and freedom. To understand the absurdity of thinking about the possibility of a Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States sprang from the pens of Muslim scholar al-Thomas Jefferson and Jamesal-Madison.
Over the past three years, Obama has made his work insisting that "we are no longer a Christian nation." He said in many places, here and abroad. In 2006, in Washington, DC, said: "Everything that once were, we are no longer a Christian nation. At least not alone." He scored the same feeling on his campaign website.
At the Compassion Forum at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, April 13, 2008, said, "We're not just a Christian nation. We are a jewNation, we are a Buddhist nation, we are a Muslim nation, Hindu nation, and we are a nation of atheists and infidels. "
In Turkey, at a press conference on April 10, said: "Although we have a large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We see ourselves as a nation of citizens are linked by a set of ideals and values. I think that modern Turkey was founded with a comparable group of values. "
During thepresidential campaign, the media pounced on who investigated Obama's Muslim upbringing in Indonesia, his two Muslim fathers and his subsequent 20 years of participation in the radical pastor Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Now his Muslim roots are praised as an asset class.
Nobody knows exactly what Obama really believes, say, because only God can know the human heart. So we are left examining his words and deeds.
The media have run line for the last three yearsstate that he is a self-described mainstream Christian, end of story. Although Obama badly distorted Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in a fanfare to accept homosexuality, the press yawned. Yawned (or applauded) when he ridiculed in 2006 in Washington, DC, the language of the Bible relevant to the policy:
"What biblical passages should guide our public policy? We must go with Deuteronomy, which suggests slavery is okay? Or we could with Deuteronomy which suggests stoning your child goesis wrong in the faith, or Should we just stick with the Sermon on the Mount, a passage that has radically so that it is unlikely that Our own Defense Department would survive its application. People do not have to read the Bible. "
More applause came when he spoke the language of the machine with a blow to his political opponents in a speech at the United Church of Christ Convention http://www.ucc.org/news/significant-speeches/a-politics- of in-conscience.html2007:
"Somehow, somewhere, stopped on the way, faith used to bring us together and started to use in order to drive us apart. It 'was abducted. Part of it is because of the so-called leaders of the Christian right, which were all used to busy, what divides us.
"We can recognize the truth that is in the heart of the UCC: that the conversation did not God [an] editor, that our roles are not [defined unite men in suits,], with the ancient textsand modern voices, God speaks again [Yes, we are ripping the pages of the Bible every day] to satisfy our appetites require us to change not only our lives but the world around us ... Hatred has no place in the hearts of the faithful. "
Question: It is hateful to think that people you disagree with are not full of hatred? " And 'unifying invent enemies, which is fighting did not begin to blame?
Some other strange things have happened for ObamaSelection of the break to give himself if the cynical observer. Last Saturday, before Obama was sworn V. Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire sexuality, an invitation to a pre-launch event at the Lincoln Memorial. The New York Times interviewed the first http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/openly-gay-episcopal-bishop-to-deliver-invocation-at-lincoln-memorial/:
"Bishop Robinson said he had reread the opening prayerhistory and was "horrified" as they were specifically and aggressively Christian. " Bishop Robinson said: 'I am quite clear that this is not a Christian prayer, and I will not quote Scripture or something. The texts, which I think are so holy, not holy texts for all Americans and all people want to hear that this is their prayer. "
One of his first assignment of judges, Obama called Indiana Federal Judge David Hamilton in the U.S. Seventh CircuitCourt of Appeals. Hamilton, who decided that was not a pastor in the name of Jesus in a prayer opening the Indiana legislature had said that on the other hand, relying on Allah in a public event in order.
In April it was reported that Obama Harry Knox, a Catholic-bashing homosexual activist appointed to the Advisory Council for Faith-Based and partnerships in residential areas. Knox, the religion program is aimed at the largest gay lobbying group, described the Human Rights Campaign,Pope Benedict and other Catholic clergy as "politically discredited" because of their stand for traditional marriage, and called the Knights of Columbus' soldiers of an army of oppression discredited "because of their support of Proposition 8 marriage amendment in California.
On April 14, 2009 was the team of Obama at Georgetown University hide the greek letters IHS, which stand for Jesus, so that does not show when he spoke in front of them.
On May 7 Obamadeclined each event at the White House and hold to the acclaimed National Day of Prayer brand, a decision left entirely to Barry Lynn's Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
In his eloquent speech at the start of Notre Dame 17 Obama sounded a conciliatory note in May, complained, Arts abortions, wants taxpayers to finance, and gave further proof that Christianity is the Move Over and eschews a universalist moral relativism:
"The size and scope of challengesWe ask that we renew the remake ["reform" or "Restore", but "remake"] our world to its promise that we align our deepest values and commitments to meet the needs of a new era.
"Your generation must decide, as God's creation of a climate change that threatens to destroy ..... And we need a way to reconcile our ever-shrinking world with its ever-growing variety to be found - the diversity of thought save the diversity of culture and diversity of faith. "
If the differenceand God has not left, if Jesus Christ - the Lord of lords and King of Kings, the Alpha and the Omega, the Way, the Truth and the Life, have been created through which all things?
Now the nation Obama may ask him to change his name ... Allah.
