Barack Hussein Obama’s father was a Muslim polygamist. Therefore, by Muslim law, he is Muslim. Joining a Black hate group disguised as The Trinity Church of Chicago does not make him Christian. Should the fact that Obama was born a Muslim make a difference to Jews? Yes, if he has internalized the Koran’s teachings and the Muslim street’s views of Jews.

No one can get into the man’s head, but last week in Cairo he proclaimed an affinity for Islam. He exuded pride in his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia, where he absorbed local Islamic culture, just like a boy growing up in Texas would have soaked up football lore. Obama formed his early concepts of truth, justice, and fairness in an environment that considers Jews as “sons of pigs and monkeys.” How likely is he to empathize with Jews? How likely is he to be proud of America? Ronald Reagan’s message was all about American exceptionalism. Obama’s core belief is that America is the exploiter of nations, the scourge of humanity. How such a man was elected President of the United States is beyond comprehension. Essentially, his message in Cairo was that Islam is superior to America.

Jewish leaders find the mere raising of these questions offensive.

During the 2008 elections, an Internet email campaign, informing recipients that the Candidate could be a stealth Islamist, targeted the Jewish and Evangelical communities known for their love of Israel. Leaders of the Jewish community, fearful of being branded racist, rushed to chastise those who “use hateful falsehoods” and distortions. Now that Obama has come out of the closet, proudly proclaiming his middle name, will they apologize?

His association with Edward Said alone should have been sufficient proof of Barack Hussein Obama’s loyalties to his father’s roots. His entire life, his friends, his words, all scream “I don’t like Israel, I don’t like Jews, I am a Muslim!”

Obama is not good for the Jews!
