ot: Colin Powell

[jpinpb]

This is OT, but did you see that Powell is behind Obama? I was surprised that a Republican would stand behind a Democrat, regardless of race here.

I agree that there are two types of Muslims. The Muslims that do not take their Quran literal and ones that do. I believe, without a doubt, that the majority of Muslims in this country are good. Unfortunately I believe that our country has been attacked along with many soldiers in Iraq by these extremist who really believe that they are Martyrs for their religion.

To blame a party for suggesting that Obama is a Muslim therefore should not be our President is wrong. With that said I do believe that we as Americans have a duty to know the motives of our future President, therefore looking at the background of Obama and his connections to William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright obviously bring up some disheartening conclusions.

There are some real issues with the “Nation of Islam” and Farrakhan who have a racist view of White Americans. I believe that many Black American Muslims find Farrakhan as somewhat of leader of the Muslims here in this country, which is a bit controversial.

The vast majority of Muslims in America and the rest of the world consider NOI to be a joke.

From Wikipedia: The main belief of The Nation of Islam and its followers is that there is no God but Allah. However, they redefine “Allah” by saying “who came in the person of W. D. Fard.” Fard founded the Nation of Islam and subsequently installed Elijah Muhammad as the organization’s leader. Their teachings are heretical by traditional Islamic standards which abhor the deification of any person, or the anthropomorphization of God.

NOI is a fringe religion. Using the Farrakhan endorsement as a “connection” to tie Obama in with fundamental Islamists is ridiculous. (And yes, that is the implication made here…)

Farrakhan does not speak for Obama and he certainly is not a part of the Wahhabist movement responsible for attacks on the US. Again, that’s the implication of raising these “concerns” about Obama’s connection to anyone or anything Islam.

Kilo, last I checked Obama’s father was a Muslim, his name is Barrack Hussein Obama and he spent part of his youth in a Muslim school in Indonesia. Maybe you don’t recall this information but you can research it if you like.

I never once made a claim to Farrakhan and Obama, but Obama followers seem to turn everything around to fit their ideology. I more bring up the connection with two men who I believe have issues with their beliefs in America’s system. Would you consider Wright to have views that are consistent with what you believe about the US? If so you are in the wrong country. The same goes for William Ayers who made it quite clear he wasn’t apologetic for his actions with Weather Underground.
