"My Muslim President Obama" Writes Forbes Muslim Writer

Muslims around the world seem to think of the Muslim born Obama as a Muslim, so why shouldn't we and why does Obama continue to run from the truth, seeing a month has gone by without the so called devout Christian spending any time looking for a church to attend while putting America in hock deeper than all the developed world combined in a mere 30 days.

Read for yourself this wacky writing from the Muslim writer for Forbes.com and make your own judgment as to what she exactly means by her outlandish Muslim Obama sycophantic fantasy from the Arab world KoolAid drinker perspective and what she intends to convey with startling phrases like this one:

"I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know.

Or this one:

Obama's exposure to Islam at a young age (both through his father and his stint in Indonesia) has given him a Muslim sensibility. In my book, that makes you a Muslim--maybe not a card-carrying one, but part of the flock for sure

Or this real doozie:

Even if Obama really is Christian, he picked the most Muslim-esque minister out of the bunch to guide him.)

Excuse me, even IF OBAMA REALLY IS CHRISTIAN? See, even Muslims like this dimwit can see right through Obama's real ploy and always have, that's why the sent hunreds of Millions of dollars to aid his campaign last year, illegally mind you.

So do many of our devout enemies around the world consider our "president" Their Muslim president and part of the flock too? I know one thing for sure, I do and always have, and believe his so called Christianity has been a front to both advance his political career which has mostly spanned since 911 to now and has always had nefarious goals to advance the cause of Islam in the US and is making strides to do just that.

Don't forget that the very first people Obama reached out to as president was not America but the Muslim world through this interview with Al Arabiya And do remember his statement that it was his job to make -friends with the Muslim world again "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy,”

.. I'm sorry, that's not his job the last time I checked and never will be as long as I and other patriots are still alive and breathing.

And his statements that he "wanted to re boot relations with the Muslim world, has gone out of his way to extend olive branches to the Muslim world that hates the west and American's particularly.

So maybe he is "The Muslim President" after all.

My Muslim President Obama -
Why members of the Islamic faith see him as one of the flock.

Forbes.com:I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know. In a very unscientific oral poll, ranging from family members to Muslim acquaintances, many of us feel, just as African-Americans did for the non-black but culturally leaning African-American President Bill Clinton, that we have our first American Muslim president in Barack Hussein Obama.

I know it's odd to say this. At first, I thought I was the only Muslim engaging in this folly, and I am reluctant to express it lest right-wing zealots try to use "Muslim" as a smear and cite my theory as proof of an Islamic traitor in the White House or some such nonsense. But, since Election Day, I have been part of more and more conversations with Muslims in which it was either offhandedly agreed that Obama is Muslim or enthusiastically blurted out. In commenting on our new president, "I have to support my fellow Muslim brother," would slip out of my mouth before I had a chance to think twice.

"Well, I know he's not really Muslim," I would quickly add. But if the person I was talking to was Muslim, they would say, "yes he is." They would cite his open nature and habit of reaching out to critics, reminiscent of the Prophet Muhammad's own approach, and also Obama's middle name, Hussein. Most of the Muslims I know (me included) can't seem to accept that Obama is not Muslim.

Of the few Muslims I polled who said that Obama is not Muslim, even they conceded that he had ties to Islam. These realists said that, although not an avowed and practicing Muslim, Obama's exposure to Islam at a young age (both through his father and his stint in Indonesia) has given him a Muslim sensibility. In my book, that makes you a Muslim--maybe not a card-carrying one, but part of the flock for sure.

One realist Muslim ventured that Obama worships at a Unitarian Church because it represents the middle ground between Christianity and Islam, incorporating the religious beliefs of the two faiths Obama feels connected to. Unitarianism could be Obama's way of still being a Muslim. (And let's not forget that the church Obama worshiped at for so many years had a minister who reminds most Muslims of their own raving, excitable ministers. Even if Obama really is Christian, he picked the most Muslim-esque minister out of the bunch to guide him.)

The rationalistic, Western side of me knows that Obama has denied being Muslim, that his father was non-practicing, that he doesn't attend a mosque. Many Muslims simply say back, "my father's not a strict Muslim either, and I haven't been to a mosque in years." Obama even told The New York Times he could recite the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, which the vast majority of Muslims, I would guess, do not know well enough to recite.

I think many of us Muslims see Obama as Muslim, or at least of Muslim heritage, because his background epitomizes one of the major Muslim experiences--a diverse upbringing that eludes any easy classification as specifically one religion or one culture. So many of us Muslims around the world have Islam in common, but an altogether different culture from one another. Many Muslims share a culture with a Christian, Hindu or Buddhist community but not the same religion. When faced with such diversity, there are no hard and fast rules for Muslim identity.

The Qur'an speaks often of the umma, or the worldwide community of Muslims. In the early days of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad led the small umma. Every decision, every effort, everything was for the umma--people who were often unrelated by blood but had become related by choice as Muslims.

In those early days, many Muslims had gone against the wishes of their own families in converting to Islam, pitting brother against sister, father against child. Perhaps that's why the concept of umma became so dear and is still echoed today--in my opinion, echoed more than that Western favorite jihad--in Muslim homes, whether those homes are in the United States or in Palestine.

Perhaps it is my--and most Muslims'-- loyalty to the umma that is behind our insistence on seeing Obama as Muslim. Islam survived and continues to survive because Muslims believe we have to respect and take care of each other, as members of the umma. If we were to start excluding members, or revising our broad guidelines for admittance, the very essence of the community feeling that is important in Islam, that gives me and other Muslims comfort everyday, would be undercut. So when Obama says he's not Muslim, my umma mentality says I know better. Once you have a Muslim parent, especially a dad, you're in. Whether you like it or not, Muslims all over the world see you as one of them.
