…the President has bequeathed upon himself the title of POTUS Maximus.
Something rather odd is afoot within the great national conversations upon which we have engaged as to whether ceratin terrorists are Muslims or not. Then again, even though we are constantly being told to have great national conversations what we get instead are great national lectures.
Indeed, we are lectured to and told to believe one single view with anyone who disagrees being labeled, at best, a racist, Islamophobic, hater, etc.
The issue at hand is the rather odd position in which Barack Obama, and for that matter George W. Bush before him, and their administrations have placed themselves with the addition of those who favor their lectured views.
Ponder this, if you will, in the book review of “The Church of Scientology” by Hugh B. Urban it was noted:
Hugh Urban notes that, outside and beyond the definitions proposed by scholars, in the USA is it the IRS, yes the Internal Revenue Service (the tax guys), who ultimately defined what is a religion. The reason is quite simple really: it is the IRS who decides who is granted tax except status and so they must be able to define what is religion. It is a fascinating and very disturbing reality.
Well, beyond the IRS (which thinks that emails magically disappear into crashed hard drives) the USA has become a styled inquisitor theocracy the President has bequeathed upon himself the title of POTUS Maximus.*
Ponder the fact, and fact is it—a authoritative fact with which none may disagree as it is pogma (political dogma)—that the POTUS defines and declares who is and who is not of an adherent of any given religious faith. Is the president elected (or selected or anointed) to keep America safe, free and prosperous or to hold out or withhold the scepter which identified who and who is not of a given religion?
We are told that certain terrorists are not Muslims and yet, as elucidated in the article Obama admin’s conflicting claims – are Muslim terrorists Muslim or not?, the definitely not Muslim Osama Bin Laden was given Muslim funerary rites at the behest and insistence of the very same administration that claimed that he is not a Muslim. Moreover, the US tax payer is funding the purchasing of Qur’ans / Korans and halal meals for definitely not Muslims in Guantanamo Bay where the non-Muslims are allowed five Islamic prayer times per day.
Such is the cognitive dissonance which we are supposed to simply accept—or else!
Now, Barack Obama, essentially, claims that certain terrorists are not Muslim because they do not uphold and thus do not follow Islamic doctrines. This was elucidated recently by Jeh Jonson, see Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson – Islam, a history of violence.
Now, another no so great national conversation that we are not supposed to have is whether Barack Obama is a Christian, a Muslim, or ____________ (fill in the blank).
Can we, may we, dare we wonder and ask whether the POTUS Maximus will allow us to put him to his own theology test?
Well, the Bible states, Christians should not be “forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] the manner of some” (Hebrews 10:25). Barack Obama keep himself (and his entire family) from gathering together, within the text’s context which is worship.
He has besmirched the (mere) Bible but praised the (“Holy,” mind you) Qur’an / Koran—see Osama vs. Obama
He has skipped out on the National Prayer Breakfast but ensures that he has stated that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth” which, as Nicholas Kristof reported in the New York Times, “Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate [Arabic] accent.” The portion he recited translates to “Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme. I witness that there is no god but Allah.”
He has been known to carry Hindu idols in his pocket; of the monkey god Hanuman—FYI: idolatry is not a Christian virtue.
He reads “devotionals” from various faiths; a Christian can, most certainly, read anything but to say that it is a “devotional” is of another category, on that Christians traditionally use within the context of a time of prayerful reflection and musing upon YHVH’s sayings and doings.
His Muslim father gave him the middle name “Hussein” and extended family are Muslims. His Muslim stepfather raised him, in part, and educated him whilst they lived in Indonesia. He attended the church of the ex-Muslim Reverend Jeremiah Wright—which considers Yoga to be a Christian virtue. A role model of his was the Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X. One of early religious advisors was the Muslim, Eboo Patel.
He has stated that “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” and that “to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied.”
There is much more to this issue but with these facts as a starting point the question becomes: does Barack Obama think and act like a Christian, a Muslim or ____________ (fill in the blank)?
Let the great national conversation ensue!
