Title: OH My, Obama is a Muslim!?
Post by: MetalFang on June 22, 2010, 08:55:49 PM
Well wouldn't you know, the Christian community is outraged that the president they hate so much is finally confessed he is a Muslim. Isn't Intolerance of various religions the foundation of Judaism, Christianity, Muslim and many other orthodox communities?


QuoteThis is devastating news, and yet no media is covering it. A stealth jihad on the White House. Remember, during his campaign, I and others were excoriated for using Obama's middle name. We were accused of implying he was a crypto-Muslim. We could not discuss his background, his Islamic schooling, his ties to Islam.

I would strongly urge you to consider the source of this information before perpetuating an unsubstantiated rumor yourself about the president's faith.  Also, who cares?

Poe's law strikes again.  Remember kids, especially in regard to politics and religion, if you don't add a smiley or some other indicator there's no way to distinguish sarcasm from an earnest belief on the internets.

If that is the case I dunno why Christians don't do what their god orders them to do.

Christians consider their religion to be the most "tolerant", "loving" and "accepting". But yet they are outraged to hear that Obama is Muslim. That was my point, thought other would like to comment on that.

Dissentients will arouse anger in most fundamentalists, and many supposedly tolerant individuals; other faiths, or a lack of faith, are affronts because they suggest the possibility of error.

I think that the 'insanely' is the important bit, so I highlighted it.

What with tea parties and birthers and militias and palin and rand paul and sharonn whatshername and everything else, it seems that a substantial section of the American population has gone batshit crazy. Or maybe they were batshit crazy already, and the kookies have only just started emerging from the woodwork. Or (very optimistically) maybe its all a media exaggeration. I live in the UK, which is very sane and boring by comparison, so its hard to tell.

No, the most of us Americans seem to regard these folk as knuckleheads, and rightly so, imo.

It happens every time the economy takes a shot, it's just worse now because people that didn't seem to care much about public education had been in charge for most of the last 20 years. Because statistics have shown that a better education leads to fewer religious nutters. In the state I live in they care so much about education that when the state was a looking at things to cut, the biggest chunk taken was education, second to that was firing almost a quarter of all peace officers. What they didn't cut was the stupid $1.5 billion speed enforcement cameras project. So soon I'll be surrounded by a bunch of uncontrolled idiots that are only not speeding for the 3 seconds when they're passing the speed enforcement cameras. I fully expect sanity to begin gaining ground again as the economy start doing better, maybe we'll even be able to restore the education.
