America the 57-state caliphate?!

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 3, 2009 11:01 AM

What the…

As President Obama prepared to leave Washington to fly to the Middle East, he conducted several television and radio interviews at the White House to frame the goals for a five-day trip, including the highly-anticipated speech Thursday at Cairo University in Egypt.

In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”

(From: NYTimes, “Obama Says U.S. Could Be Seen as a Muslim Country, Too.”)

We’re not even close.

That’s Obama math for you.

And the Obamateurism of the Day.

    Wonder if all the hysterical separation of church and state folks will be up in arms.

    A few short weeks ago, Obama said we weren’t a Christian nation despite the fact that a majority of Americans, whether regularly practicing or not, still identify as Christian.

    Today, he says we’re Muslim. But I guess I’m to the point where I say bring it. As I said in the thread about Harold Koh, I vote we let Islamic nations frame our laws about abortion and gay marriage and women’s rights and see how the liberals who love Obama react to declaring us a Muslim nation.

    By inflating the number of muslims in the U.S. they carry much bigger clout with the media, our prison system, schools, workplaces and with POTUS. There will be hate-speech laws about that one religion/political system but not for anyone else.

    As far as his deep bow to the Saudis, have no fear, he’ll get around to it but it’ll be behind closed doors. Wonder if he took his prayer mat with him? At least he’ll get to hear the sweet sound of the call to prayer in it’s homeland. /sarc

    Does he mean we are one of the largest land masses with muslims or a nation with one of the largest muslim populaitons?

    It must be the former since I think we have fewer muslims than the E.U. much less Egypt. I think Israel may have more muslims than we do.

    Ours are just really noisy.

    Let me preemptively anticipate the response of lefties / trolls: “He just meant that the US has one of the largest Muslim populations in the world”
    1. If that’s what he meant, he continues to demonstrate his woeful ability and incompetence at syntax and communication that the leftards accused Bush of
    2. If Bush or a Republican or conservative (the latter two have to be distinguished) had stated that this was a “Christian nation” they would have had their butts fried by the media/ left axis with accompanying warnings of ” American Taliban” etc.
    3. This is further evidence of a continuing personal and political stream of consciousness by this guy that his loyalties to this country and it’s founding principles are profoundly suspect.

    Obama is a Muslim. Period, dot, the end. As the old saying goes, “if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck! Obama is now letting his Muslim “roots” show where they were covered up during his campaign. He gave his first interview to a Muslim TV station. He bowed to a Muslim king. He states that the US is a large Muslim country. What more proof do you need people? While there are still unanswered questions about his background, Obama’s Muslim background is undeniable.
    I hope all of you who voted for this charlatan are happy with your choices! Most of you will regret it!

    The school where I teach has several Muslim students. I don’t even have to describe how the men treat the female teachers there. Just suffice it to say we are pretty much non-entities as far as they are concerned. There is no way in hell I’ll ever let that become the “American Way”.

    For a number of reasons, I have been very reluctant to paint THE ONE with the Islamic brush. I have resisted many of the descriptions of posters here, while respecting them and reading them carefully for any merit I thought they had.

    But I am coming to the conclusion that THE ONE was very heavily influenced by his absent father. The man was spun as an atheist during the campaign. We know that he was a Marxist/Leninist (that is not hyperbole) and atheism would have fit.

    Now, however, the story is morphing. THE ONE’s father was apparently BOTH a Muslim and a Communist…a more common contradiction in the world than many would think.

    I do not believe that THE ONE is a practicing Muslim, partly because I believe he is his own god, but it is apparent that he is strongly influenced by Islam, and biased toward it.

    The world just got a lot more dangerous. The influence of THE ONE’s absentee father is going to be a very important factor in understanding this period of history.

    The number of fallacies in that short quote would keep me busy for more time than I can devote to it.

    One of the most glaring is that Muslims are a homogeneous “people”. They simply are not, and one of the most true and reliable things about Muslims is that they will kill each other with apparent glee.

    His math skills are worse than my own. Because Wikipedia says our Muslim population is about 1.5%, making us something like 38th in the world and this map clearly shows we’re not anywhere near the top.

    So when he says we’re not a Christian nation, you’re cool with that. He doesn’t even bother to acknowledge our Judeo-Christian heritage.

    But Obama’s very eager to make nice with the Muslim world.

    As if that will stop them from killing us…

    I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah.
    I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

    You know what organization does have “57 states”?

    The Organization of the Islamic Conference.

    note that the article ends:

    The president is flying Air Force One directly from Washington to Riyadh [Saudi Arabia]. The White House press corps — traveling on a chartered United 767 — is refueling in Hahn, Germany.

    And then consider that the press usually travels with the President on Air Force One.

    So, why put the press on a different plane, and force them to refuel in Germany, instead of having them travel with the President?

    Could it be that Obama wants some time alone with the Saudis, before the press corps arrives?

    The U.S. “is not a Christian nation” when 85% of the people are Christians, but we ARE a Muslim nation when 2% of the people are Muslims? Nice.

    In Iran they just tie a whole bunch of gays to a beam and raise the whole thing at once with a crane. Much more efficient! Works just as well for women who dare to act human, or, darn, just handy for anybody that ticks off an imam. (Which is darn near everything.)

    Yes. Let’s compare:

    April 6, 2009:

    “One of the great strengths of the United States,” the President said, “is … we have a very large Christian population — we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.”

    and contrast

    June 3, 2009:

    In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world” and Obama Says U.S. Could Be Seen as a Muslim Country, Too.

    Back in June of 2006, Obama said,

    “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation – at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

    Obama’s ‘Christian Nation’

    Lemme see here, 4.5 million Muslims in the US, divided by 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, equals 0.003, divided by 100, equals 0.00003 percent of all Muslims worldwide live in the US.

    Hey wait a minute, I was using a conservative calculator.

    You’re using a calculator that tells the truth.

    Liberal math is as follows: 2+2= 6 7/8. If you tell them they’re wrong, then you’re a racistfacistnazihomophobe. Adding 1/2 + 2/3 is too difficult, so it’s replaced with sensitivity training, instead.

    You guys are so over reacting. I think it can be shown that we are the 3rd largest (square miles) country in the world with some amount of Muslim population.

    So when Alaska breaks off from the US, they will be one of the largest Muslim nations as well, and still leave us with 56 + 3 states. The new geography is as much fun as the new math was years ago.

    The difference is, Republicans and Christian Evangelicals get lambasted for it.

    Muslims are rarely, if ever, criticized by liberals.

    Wonder why. Could it be the Evangelical track record for beheading non-believers is significantly smaller than Muslims?

    Well, clearly lgm has no problem with Islamic teachings. Only Christian ones.

    Which is why it’ll be fascinating to watch various and sundry liberals blow a gasket when Islamic shari’a law is instituted in parts of the country and they’re forced to kiss their pet causes bye-bye. Unlike Christians, who go to the ballot box, shari’a law isn’t instituted by a democratic vote.

    Talk about quoting out of context! Is it too much to ask for the whole sentence?

    LGM, I went to a different site and read the entire sentence. It isn’t any better.

    I do realize he wasn’t specifically saying we were a Muslim country, but the implication is pretty bad given that various elements have spent years successfully eradicating any connection between religion and national identity or politics. (“Separation of Chruch and State” crap.)

    I had previously dismissed the idea that he was a closet Muslim, and maybe he isn’t. But statements like this and his indifference toward our ally that happens to be a Jewish state compell me to revisit the idea.

    He could raise a lot of tax revenue by imposing the Jizya here in one of the largest Muslim nations in the world…
