Comments on another "Proof" that Obama is a Muslim

Owing to my extreme lack of free time, I am posting an email to my "not really right-wing Mom", essentially unedited. The email that she found alarming follows my comments

It's hard to deal with on a point by point basis. To find any stats on how often wives accompany husband heads of state on state visits is difficult. I suspect they frequently don't. It's not clear what she'd do there -- probably be kept out of public sight as are all women in Saudi Arabia.

There are a lot of dubious "facts" that I find very difficult to check on, but why is it believable that Obama is a Muslim? If he was, there would be much more solid
evidence than this coming out. Why does a Muslim attend a Christian church for a decade or 2? Are there scads of stories of his refusing pork on campaign stops? No, and there are stories of him sampling exotic ham in a New York food shop. It seems to me you have to believe Obama was invented just to become the U.S. president and do all the terrible things some people imagine he will do. That sort of thing just doesn't work except in thriller novels and movies He's been in the U.S. since he was a young boy, but they can't find a couple of dozen credible people to say they saw him perform this or that Muslim activity? The very fact that they have to resort to such convoluted logic to "prove" he's a Muslim is practically a proof that he's not.



As with the other stories, nobody comes forth as the author.

The "Middle Eastern Expert" has a Master's degree from Bob Jones University. He's written a couple of books on Jihad but they don't sound impressive, and he does not seem to have any academic affiliation.

I doubt whether Shepard Smith (1 "p", not 2) said any of what follows.

ON GOOGLE:
site:foxnews.com "shepard smith" ==> 126,000 hits
site:foxnews.com "shepard smith" "michell Obama" ==> 3,820
site:foxnews.com "shepard smith" "michelle obama" france arabia ==> 25
None of the 25 hits looks like it would match.

As for Obama's being unable to order deaths of Muslims, in the first place he has many times authorized deaths of Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders by drone attacks.
   2nd:  more Muslims seem to be killed by other Muslims than by anyone else.
   3rd: several Muslim countries like Iran, Iraq are, like China and the US among the last countries to practice the death penalty.

Interesting.....newsworthy!

 "If you check President Obama's last trip
 over-seas, his wife left just after their visit to France . She has yet
 to accompany him to any Arab country. Think about it. Why is Michelle
 returning to the states when 'official' trips to foreign countries
 generally include the First Lady."

 Here's one thought on the matter.

 While in a Blockbuster renting videos I came across a video called "Obama". There were two men standing next to me and we talked about President Obama.

 These guys were Arabs, so I asked them why they thought Michele Obama headed home following the President's recent visit to France instead of traveling to Turkey with her husband. They told me she could not go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Iraq. I said "Why not,(?) Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia, Turkey
 and Dubai." They said that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he is not allowed to bring his wife into countries that adhere to Sharia Law. Two points of interest here:

 1) I thought it interesting that two American Arabs at Blockbuster believe that our President is a Muslim, who follows a strict Islamic creed.

2) They also said that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world, acknowledging his religion.

 For further consideration, here is a response from Dr. Jim Murk, a Middle Eastern Scholar and expert on Islam.

 This is his explanation of what the Arab American's were saying.

 "An orthodox Muslim man would never take his wife on a politically oriented trip to any nation which practices Sharia law, particularly Saudi Arabia where the Wahhabi sect is dominant.  This is true and it is why Obama left Michelle in Europe. She will stay home when he visits Arab countries. He knows Muslim protocol; this includes, bowing to the Saudi King. Obama is regarded as a Muslim in the Arab world, because he was born to a Muslim father; he acknowledged his Muslim faith with George Stephanopoulus. Note that he downplays his involvement with Christianity, by not publicly joining a Christian church in D.C., and occasionally attending the chapel for services at Camp David. He also played down the fact that America is a Christian country and said unbelievably, that it was one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, which is nonsense. He has publicly taken the side of the Palestinians in the Muslim nations in the world, which is nonsense. He has publicly taken the side of the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel and he ignored the National Day of Prayer, something no other President has ever done.

 He is bad news! He conceals his true  faith to the detriment of the American people."

 ACTIONS speak louder than words.
 Another interesting item regarding Sharia Law..  Why has Barack Hussein Obama insisted  that the U.S. Attorney General hold the trials of the 911 Muslim Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common Criminals instead of as Terrorists who attacked the United States of America? If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in
 Military Tribunals, convicted and sentenced to death, by LAW, Barack  Hussein Obama, as President of the United States, would be required to sign their Death Warrants. He would not be required to sign the death warrants if they are sentenced to death by a Civilian Court .

 Recently, Muslim Jihadist, Army Major Hassan slaughtered non-Muslim, soldiers than go to Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of fellow Muslims. He stated that Muslims could not and should not kill fellow Muslims.
 Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama's insistence on civilian trials, to make sure he doesn't have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States, not sign the death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and murdered over 3,000 U. S. Citizens on  9/11? Could it be that he is FORBIDDEN by his RELIGION to authorize the execution of Muslims?

Think about that! Open your eyes, ears and mind to who the President is, how he behaves and what he is doing.
