America the 57-state caliphate?!

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.

I am surprised he did not prostrate himself on the ground as soon as he arrived in Saudi Arabia!
Is Barack Hussein’s muslim roots emerging? Well, it wasn’t really hidden, was it?
He must be referring to his PLANS for the US…..
He means “will BE the largest Muslim country in the world.” damn teleprompter!
Saw this. Not suprised. The left is proven wrong again.
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.
Perhaps it’s wishful thinking.
I guess it is time to build the walls we will need to crush the gays under once sharia law is imposed. Women, why exactly aren’t you walking 5 paces behind your husbands?
HARLOTS!!!!
/not even sure what more this is to shut off.
O_o…. so when is enough, enough with the loin girnding? Or what ever you call it.
Wishful thinking on Obama’s part, that the USA is a Muslim country…not yet, not ever.
Islamic word that describes Obama’s campaign, his Muslim roots, and his current plans as he allows nuclear power in Iran:
Taqiyya
Look it up…
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
P.S. – where is Michelle O? Did he leave her behind or insist she wear a designer burka.
Shaka Toots will need a cover up.
Thanks, AlohaGuy.
Wow, MSM is reporting that Hugo Chavez says “comrade Obama” is making him and Castor look like conservatives.
Are you saying that BHO is a deceitful muslim?
Yeah and next he will request the justice department to try Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad under Sharia law.
Ohhh, so that’s why he isn’t stopping in Israel during his “America Apologizes” tour of the Middle East.
No. It’s the ultimate goal. This is the change TEH ONE’s been hoping for.
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!
Largest Muslim populations in the World? In comparison to what country, Upper Volta?
We need an exorcist. I think the President is possessed.
BINGO
we’ll see if he visits MECCA..
I’m doing my best not to get ovewhelmed by all this SOB is doing to our country. First, we’re no longer a Christian nation, now we’re one of the largest Muslim nations? Give me a flippin’ break! Over my dead body will that ever happen!
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”.

Brian Williams bows to the one.
Michelle-o, lgm and ILMC must all be very proud of their country for the first time.
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.
Talk about quoting out of context! Is it too much to ask for the whole sentence?
BWAAHHAHAHHAHHAHAAAAA
So you do not deny you are proud of your new Muslim nation? Tool.
ROFL Hugo to the right of Obama? Liberals must be happy about that!
Ah that’s it.The old “taken out of context” ruse. Forgot about that one.That’s goes with the classic ” I apologize to anyone who might have been offended”
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.
What possiable context could make that statement acurate?
Ask, and ye shall receive, lgm.
Just keep clutching those straws.
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 will fill that in my self. This statement would be true if you killed off the entire muslim populations of the top 50 muslim countries, then we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world
You are an idiot.
How’s that?
A very wise old nun used to tell my mother that “if she could have a child in her classes for seven years she’d give them back a confirmed Catholic.”
The O spent more time than that in a muslim environment. You never forget those early years of training.
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.
And now we have the press rendering obeisance to THE ONE. Bowing to their god.
http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2009/06/brian-williams-bows-to-king-obama.html
I know a few very large Muslims but I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that the entire American population of Muslims is larger than the rest of us on average. People who live in this county just tend to get fat. Obama was just “going Biden” again.
Do you need any more proof to realize that the TOTUS is now fully self-aware and Obama merely mimics what the TOTUS wishes him to spew?
“I’m sorry Mr. President. I can’t let you say that. Repeat after me….”
Saw that myself. Unbelievable. Disgusting, really.
I prefer the Robert Frost approach, “Good fences make good neighbors.”
Speaking of media non-reporting and bias (Michelle’s column today), imagine if President George W. Bush had regurgitated the non-sense of the USA being a large muslim nation to a world audience. Really, try to imagine the indignation of the pseudo-journalist on the talking head shows.
There’s some Muslims in the NBA. Maybe that’s what he meant.
I will NEVER face Mecca!
Obama, choose this day whome YOU will serve! As for me and my house, WE will serve The Lord!
Not until they’ve pried my gun from my cold, dead hand.
BHO means the fatest Muslims.
Ok LGM you wanted the exact words well here they are: “And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” Mr. Obama said. “And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.” So LGM the other day he said we are not a Christian nation anymore because polls say there are not as many practicing Christian but today he says this. So quit trying to cover for him, he said what he said and there is no confusion about it except whats in your little mind.
We are living in the Twilight Zone. Chinese students in Beijing laugh at the U.S. Treasury secretaries economic views. Pravda criticizes the United States for its’ rapid decent into Marxism. I’m wating for the President of Iran to declare that there is a madman in the White House.
By Obamalogic (now there’s an oxymoron) Liechtenstein is a relatively large country in Europe, compared to Monaco and the Vatican.
Errah, I was waiting for Brian Williams to ask how much was his share of the trans fat tax on those burger and fries from Five Guys going to be. Was that a fluff piece on Obama, Emanuel or Axlerod? I was hopeing they would also show the newly constructed whitehouse stables where the four horses of the apocaplyse are quartered.
I call dibs on the pale horse…
To Barry: Would you please just stay in Egypt?
Nor being particularly RELIGIOUS, I am surprised by B. HUSSEIN’S comment… with approximately 8-10 million MUSLIMS in the US that hardly qualifies as “A LOT”… I believe we are still a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY… Than in the same vein I also believe MUSLIMS are like the US MARINES… There are no EX MARINES, once a MARINE always a MARINE… Well, I believe that there is no such thing as an EX MUSLIM… I also believe that in MUSLIM CULTURE if your father is a MUSLIM, than you are a MUSLIM… Get my point???
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were far more Jews than Muslims in the US.
I think it is upon us. There are asperatus clouds, thunder and lightning in Southern California today. No coincidence that the TOTUS is in Arabia today….at all.
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.
Debbie Schlussel has the Pew data posted – 78.4% Christian, 1.7% Jewish, Buddhist 0.7%, 0.6% muslim.
I haven’t noticed many Buddhists cutting peoples’ heads off, planning to shoot down planes, sucessfully flying planes into buildings, shooting military recruiters, etc. In fact, I haven’t seen any Buddhists, Jews or Christians doing any of those things, but when those things happen, suprise, suprise, they are done by muslims.
Correlattion isn’t causation, but stil…
But, wait on his last apology tour he said this:
“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.
Things that make you go HHHHMMMMM!
The depressing thing is that Obama almost certainly thought of what he said as being entirely non-controversial and even laudable for its inclusiveness.
It’s not even factually accurate.
Maybe the Obamanation was confused, and meant to say Mexican.
The man is a pandering fool.
But i agree with some other posters. It’s more likely his plan than his opinion.
Teleprompter malfunction.
He meant to say “my country has one of the largest muslim populations in the world”.
Which is entirely accurate, his country being Indonesia.
Except Murtha.
Oh, this is beyond…I am at a loss for words.
This isn’t the America I know.
Hey, did you know Muslims DON’T believe in evolution?
Irreconcilable differences with the leftists.
Hey, it does make more sense this way.
John Deaux–Murtha is a marine mollusc
They don’t believe in letting women vote or drive, either. And their not exactly up-to-date when it comes to abortion or gay marriage or separation of church and state.
But hey, nobody’s perfect right? We gotta watch out for those Christians!
That sounds like a reasonable idea. When do we start?
Obama confessed with his own mouth, in a first-rate Arabic accent, the words (translated to English):
“Not allowed to go to“?
Who’s in charge?
You know what organization does have “57 states”?
The Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Isn’t Obama the same man who said recently that America ISN’T a Christian country?
note that the article ends:
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.
Hard to tell why people still think 0 is a Muslim.
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.)
sarc off
Yes. Let’s compare:
and contrast

Back in June of 2006, Obama said,

what, america is a muslim nation? and his supporters told us he was soooo smart.
Excellent compare and contrast…
Very telling!
Sounds like Obama just said he can see Mecca from his house.
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.
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.
God help us. Why can’t this imbecile speak for himself??? He isn’t even right on the math which makes the statement pure pandering. This Country is and was a Judeo-Christian nation. This is insanity.
b-cat said (#65):
The same can be said of many important Republicans including Huckabee and Palin.
Source?
AND??
Even if they don’t, so what?? it has nothing to do with this topic.
Which is you president, (not mine) claiming this counrty is not only a muslim country but one of the biggest ones.
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.
Seems like he was also showing off his Arabic when he was talking to the Saudi king.
In so many words, underlined and in bold black letters.
Capisca?
So we’re “not a christian nation”, but we are the “largest muslim country” in the world?
WTF….!!!!
WHEN DID THAT BEGIN…!!!!!
7/6 or 1 and 1/6. Boo yeah.
His grandmama already did in his stead. But who knows, he can do the chants by heart, it would be one time he does not need TOTUS.
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.
You can tell by “Reverend” Wright’s sermons that Obama isn’t a Christian. I just figured him to be the “typical leftist atheist” but now I am kind of wondering.
He could raise a lot of tax revenue by imposing the Jizya here in one of the largest Muslim nations in the world…
Wow, I missed a lot!
but looking at this polaroid, I just have to ask:
Just what, exactly, is President Cucaracha reaching out & polishing? [wink]
