    OK, I’ll open the can of worms…

    Let me start by saying that the idea of America becoming a european model of “tolerance” for Muslim influence scares the crap out of me. I watched the footage from the Muslim Day Parade in NYC, and even as a former dem I was offended by the mix of the crescent and stripes of the US flag. This parade could have erupted into full blown violence at the drop of a hat. I’m an avid free speecher, but this was a pretty tense little parade.

    That being said, I think that the belief that Obama is a Muslim and is essentially a Manchurian candidate for Islam is pure hyperbole. I was born overseas (Japan), and I am no more a Buddhist than my son’s Baptist preacher baseball coach. Obama’s father was not ever a significant figure in his life, so I think it’s time to dispense with the smears about his supposed Muslim faith.

    If I lived in Israel I suppose I would be nervous as well being surrounded by Arab countries, but America cannot base all of it’s political decisions on the desire of Israelis. I believe the protection of Israel is important, but to suggest (as some of these linked blogs do) that Obama is a Trojan horse for Islam and will throw their country under the bus is absurd.

    First, Melissa, thanks for linking to me! I enjoy your blog. :)

    Mr. Chuckles, I don’t think people really believe Obama is a muslim. Although, he had to have been greatly influenced by Islam as it was an integral part of his formative years. Both his father and stepfather were muslims and he attended a muslim elementary school. His “Christian” pastor of 20 years is a great admirer of the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.

    I think the big concern for Israel is they would rather not be pushed into the sea by the avowed friends and supporters of BHO, as they threaten daily. It is a vote for survival.

    Indy Jane,

    Are you suggesting that Obama will leave Israel to fend for itself against any Muslim nation that cares to attack? If so, I think you should consider the possibility that you’re being irrational (it happens to the best of us). If not, then your comments about his religious history are irrelevant.

    Matt, there is so much more damage that can be done to Israel other than not coming to her aid in the event of a muslim onslaught. Such as forcing Israel to give up land for peace, dividing J’lem, limited her freedom to adequately defend herself, sitting idly by as anti-Israel UN policies and resolutions are made against her, etc.

    As for my examples of his muslim background, this was to show why some initially had erroneously called him a muslim. There is a connection. It does however, show that it could be considered that he would have muslim sympathies. The Islamic agenda is contrary to a secure America and Israel. They are not keeping it a secret.
