Frank Gaffney: Obama's 'Teachable' Shariah Moment

We had not planned to do another story on AIG or Obama and the Islamic religion today but this email arrived from Frank Gaffney and after the shock wore off, we decided it is time that the American people learn the truth about Obama. The media cover-up for Obama has to end immediately. If the American people elected a Muslim Arab American President, we have a right to know.

As a follow-up to the AIG story we posted earlier today on this site, we learn this from the Center for Security Policy:

There is much more yet to be learned, of course. For example: Why is the U.S. government promoting the Brotherhood's effort to penetrate our capital markets via "shariah-compliant finance," including its direct ownership of a huge player in that field, AIG? Which other shariah-adherent Muslims are getting their expenses paid by the State Department as they network around the globe on behalf of their seditious agenda? How much is this outrageous program costing, and what does Foggy Bottom have to show for it? Why did Team Obama cosponsor a UN resolution last Fall imposing "shariah blasphemy" laws that utterly conflict with the First Amendment's protection of free speech?

What else don't we know about what this Administration is doing trying to import Shariah Law into the United States? How many people knew about the Obama Team resolution at the United Nationsl imposing "shariah blasphemy" laws that conflict with the First Amendment's protection of free speech? Already were stunned about AIG but now are totally blown away by the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood owns them.

Gaffney is correct that the speech of Obama Friday night for Ramadan may be the best thing that has happened as it has woken a lot of Americans up to what Obama is doing. We first thought that George Soros was the puppetmaster but have had to revise our thoughts to it is the Muslim Brotherhood pushing Obama. All the evidence points to the fact that Obama is Muslim. Look at his history --

Born to a father who was a member of the Luo tribe in Kenya, was Muslim, but had no influence on Obama's daily life. This made Obama 50% white, 44% Luo, and 6% black. Today Obama has relatives in Kenya who support radical Islam and he supported one for President of Kenya,

Raised by a stepfather who had him attend an Islamic Mosque in Indonesia on a regular basis and at the Catholic School took classes in Islam,

Mentored in high school in Hawaii by Communist Franklin Marshall Davis who introduced him into Chicago politics where Obama became friends with Nation of Islam members in Chicago including Louis Farrakhan along with domestic terrorists from The Weather Underground,

Attended Rev Wright's Church which was nothing but a front for Muslims wanting to use attending a Christian Church as a front to fool people in business. Sat in church for 23 years listening to Rev Wright, a former Muslim, preach black separatism.

Recited the Islamic prayer in the Islamic dialect in an interview and then had to be corrected on ABC when he said "I am a Muslim" by the anchor to "Christian"

The signs were all there so that no one should have been shocked at his speech from Cairo to the Muslim nations where he requested the Muslim Brotherhood be in attendance, but we were. His bowing to the Saudi King put more doubts in our minds as the American President does not bow. His attitude toward the the Muslim at Fort Hood who killed all those people in the name of Allah or the Christmas Day bomber, or bringing 9/11 terrorist mastermind to NYC to be tried in the shadow of the World Trade Centers all point to the fact he supports Muslims over Christians and Jews.

Where is the national media and their so-called investigative reporting? Attending White House lunches 'off the record' or is their liberal, progressive agenda overruling their investigative journalism as they thought he was one of them. They were wrong and should stand up and apologize to the American people for covering up who they knew Obama to be -- The First Arab American President with family ties to radical Islam. Why wasn't there more reporting when Obama interfered in the election in Kenya on behalf of his radical cousin Odinga who lead riots after losing the election?

Believe all doubt is erased and Obama, the first Arab American President, is Muslim.

Obama's 'Teachable' Shariah MomentCenter for Security Policy Aug 16, 2010
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.

On Friday night, Barack Obama gave his full-throated endorsement to a mosque and "cultural center" on private property that has been purchased in Lower Manhattan adjacent to the site where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood. By Saturday, however, he wanted the American people to know that he was not commenting on "the wisdom" of putting such a mosque by that hallowed ground - just "the right" of its backers like Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to do it, pursuant to the Constitution's protection of religious freedom.

Unfortunately for the President - but fortunately for the country - it is too late for such ludicrous contortions and dissembling. However much Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats now regret his original White House statement, it has created a "teachable moment." Not just about the Ground Zero mosque but about the larger enterprise it is intended to serve: bringing the law of Saudi Arabia and Iran, shariah, to America.

Imam Rauf makes no bones about that being his purpose. So do some of his most prominent backers, like the Muslim Brotherhood front, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Brotherhood's Palestinian franchise, the designated terrorist group Hamas. In fact, according to the New York Post, on Sunday, Mahmoud al-Zahar, an Hamas co-founder and leader in Gaza, told WABC Radio host Aaron Klein: "We have to build the mosque [at Ground Zero]. We have to build everywhere. In every area we have [as] Muslim[s], we have to pray and this mosque is the only site of prayer."

Al-Zahar also enthused about shariah, calling it the "tradition of Islam" which "is controlling every source of our life as regards to marriage, divorce, our commercial relations." He added ominously that, "Even the Islamic people or Muslims in [the United States] are living now in the tradition of Islam."

What else have we learned so far from Mr. Obama's teachable shariah moment? We now know that the President is willing to associate with members of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), not just in Cairo - where he insisted they be invited to hear his famous paean to Islam last year - but in the White House. For example, leaders of known MB front groups like Ingrid Mattson of the Islamic Society of North America and Salam al-Marayati of the Muslim Public Affairs Council were in the company at the Iftar dinner Friday when Mr. Obama fervently embraced the Ground Zero mosque.

This is an important insight since we know from uncontested evidence submitted by the government in the largest terrorism finance trial in U.S. history - the Holy Land Foundation case - that the Muslim Brotherhood's mission in America is "destroying Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

What on earth is the President of the United States doing fraternizing with, and thereby legitimating, operatives of an organization with such a seditious mission - to say nothing of endorsing their most immediate priority: the Ground Zero Mosque?

We have also learned that the Obama administration insists that Imam Rauf, another Brotherhood apparatchik, is a "moderate." Never mind the abundant evidence to the contrary - not least his statement that he wants to bring shariah to America. Believing him to be a good "ambassador" for the United States, the Obama-Hillary Clinton State Department has gone so far as to send Rauf on a taxpayer-funded trip to Arab capitals. While there, he will surely try to parlay the President of the United States' explicit endorsement of his Ground Zero project and sponsorship of his travels into funding from oil-rich promoters of shariah to build his 13-story, $100 million megamosque within spitting distance of some of America's most hallowed real estate.

(snip)

As he hosted the Ramadan fast-breaking dinner at the White House on Friday, President Obama showed his true colors on shariah. Trying to dress up the Ground Zero mosque or any other aspect of this brutally repressive, totalitarian and inherently unconstitutional program as a matter of "religious freedom" does not pass the giggle test. Shariah is about power, not faith, and no amount of Obama subsidies, solidarity or spin on behalf of that agenda will persuade the American people to allow the so-called "tradition of Islam" to supplant our civil liberties, form of government and way of life.
