This article is dangerously wrong. Whether Obama is a Muslim or Christian has nothing to do with his actions/inactions in office or his activities at present. Obama is and always has been an anti-imperialist, which he sees the US as, a beneficiary of, and a supporter of. Although it's true that many in the world see the mideast, North and Central Africa, and southwest Asia as the primary victims of previous and ongoing imperialism and Western subjugation, and the major foothold of Islam in the world at the same time, Obama's interest there isn't about Islam--it's about correcting the wrongs of his view of imperialism.

That world view fits like a glove with his priorities throughout his foreign policies and his bias towards Socialism as the answers for those populations in recovering from those alleged wrongs. That socialist bias also illustrates his domestic activities here in the US. Bush and the neo-conservatives handed him the fascist government and fascist tools to effect the changes he sought and he has taken full advantage of them.

Additionally, at this time in history, the Shiite Muslims are very comparable to the Communist Party in their supposed raison d'etre of working for the benefit of the masses and as governmental rulers that would work and stand against capitalism, individual freedom, and the evils of the West. They are, to a large extent, Obama's heroes, but not because of the religious views. He could care less about religion.

But we must remember that in framing any of his activities or policies as religiously driven completely and totally misses and disguises his true motivations and makes us look like fools.

Hello blarman,
Our foreign policy is a disaster. It is not a stabilizing factor. If this is the direction taken, it is clear to me that things would be better if we did nothing.
I saw the Bret Baier interview with Egypt's El-Sisi and I found El-Sisi to be credible and sincere; even hopeful.

I hope he does not disappoint. If he can build a Arab coalition with only some strategic support from us and without our direct military participation... We shall see.
Respectfully,
O.A.

The thing that really made me take notice and go, "huh?" was our potential involvement in Syria. For me that was the lightening bolt that shouted, "wake up!" It just didn't make sense, given the premises I was running on.

someone down-voted this post. still reading the article. I enjoy Freedom Outpost
