Obama's radical, extremist friends are not poor. That has never been the
problem. However, Obama often equates Islamic extremism, when it is
pointed out to him that Muslims are often Jihadists, with impoverishment -
and "modernity" as-if to imply moderizing a culture of extremism is
somehow a bad thing. Robert Spencer explains Obama often erroneously
explains that,
"...poverty causes Islamic jihad. This is an extremely widespread view,
although it has been debunked many times. Fortune magazine, for example,
reported in March 2007 that "of the 50 poorest countries in the
world...only Afghanistan (and perhaps Bangladesh and Yemen) has much
experience in terrorism, global or domestic." The 9/11 hijackers were
"middle-class sons of Saudi Arabia and many were well-educated. And Osama
bin Laden himself is from one of the richest families in the Middle East."
Fortune noted that a 2003 study of Palestinian terrorism found
"higher-status respondents (merchant, farmer or professional)" were
significantly more likely than "those lower down the ladder (laborer,
craftsman or employee)" to agree that there were "circumstances under
which you would justify the use of terrorism to achieve political goals."
And Harvard professor Albert Abadie studied 1,776 terrorist incidents,
only to find no connection between poverty and terrorism: "When you look
at the data" to find such a connection, he said, "it's not there."

AND, Frank Gaffney at the Center for Security Policy (June 5) commenting
on Obama's speech in Cairo:
[...] "More often than not, the President portrayed Muslims as the
Brotherhood always does: as victims of crimes perpetrated by the
West against them - from colonialism to manipulation by Cold War
superpowers to the menace of "modernity and globalization that led
many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of
Islam." Again, no mention of the hostility towards the infidel West
ingrained in "the traditions of Islam." This fits with the meme of
the Shariah-adherent, but not the facts." (June 5, FrontPageMag.com)
And, Robert Spencer writes in the that issue of FrontPageMag.com,
about the irony of an Obama who now claims his Islamist heritage, much of
which he denied during his run for the presidency.
"Then, the man now happy to call himself Barack Hussein Obama (in contrast
to his attitude during the campaign) boasts of having "known Islam on
three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed."
An interesting choice of words that, "first revealed." Not "established,"
"founded" or "invented." The President is, after all, a careful writer, so
he must have deliberately eschewed verbs that reflect man's role, in favor
of the theological version of events promoted by Islam. Thus, Mr. Obama
has gone beyond the kind of "respectful language" he has pledged to use
towards Islam. He is employing what amounts to code - bespeaking the kind
of submissive attitude Islam demands of all, believers and non-believers
alike...." (June 5 - FrontPageMag.com)
Obama pledges to turn the page on Islamic relationships and says,
"I will ease post-9/11 scrutiny of Islamic charities" and Robert Spencer
from Jihad Watch reminds us his turn around is even in the face of the
facts - stating:
"The Holy Land Foundation funneled millions of dollars to Hamas, but so
what? What could go wrong?"
Obama said in his despictable speech, which betrays America and those who
have died defending her and bringing democracy and freedom to Muslims the
world over:
"Rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill
their religious obligation. That's why I'm committed to working with
American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat," --- said Obama
(referring to the Muslim obligation to be charitable.)
More from Spencer of Jihad Watch:
"Ever since the World Trade Center attacks, fund-raising by American
Muslims has come under repeated federal investigations for possible
support of terrorism."
"Just last week, a federal judge in Dallas sentenced five leaders of
the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development to between 15
and 65 years in prison after they were convicted of providing
material support to Hamas."
"American Muslims complain legitimate philanthropy has been hampered
because the rules are ill-defined."
Obama's Extremist Friends
FROM Israel:
"'Obama met Muslim Brotherhood members in U.S.,'" by Avi Issacharoff
and Zvi Bar'el for Haaretz on June 4:
"Obama met with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international
Islamic organization dedicated to the imposition of Sharia, by violent
or peaceful means, throughout the world. It was founded in Egypt in
1928 as a reaction to the abolition of the caliphate by the secular
Turks in 1924, in order to reassert the political and supremacist
elements of Islam."
"And in America? The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their
work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying
the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable
house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is
eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other
religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic
Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19,
1991."
Obama said he came there to seek a new beginning, one which is based on
mutual respect and mutual interest. Is he kidding? About 60 million
Americans fell for his bald faced lies. The reasons are pretty clear. They
were lied to and they fell for his "change and hope" mantra, - line, hook
and sinker. He intends to drown us all; to sink America in his lies to
destroy us from within. 60 million is only 20 percent of us. 80% either
voted against him or didn't vote at all. And it is also obvious he lied
about his history and his qualifications and stolen votes. He hijacked the
country and we are in trouble if he is not exposed before he does more
damage to our reputation and our national pride. There is enough cause to
impeach him.
