According to Barack Obama
's
autobiography, President Oba
ma's father
practiced Islam, his stepfather also practiced Islam, and his mother twice chose to marry Islamic men.
President Obam
a studied at an
Islamic school for a year, and his
full name -
Barack Hussein Obama -
includes his middle name which he retained
by choice and which honors the
revered grandson of Isl
am's Mohammed.
To President Obam
a, Isla
m is neither a dangerous nor a distant
religion. It is the religion his parents preferred, the religion into which he
was born, and the religion in which he spent his childhood. As such, President
Obam
a is likely to under-appreciate the
threat from Islam and over-appreciate its
insincere
overtures, including from
Iraq
and Afghanistan, and
Iran.
And even if President Obam
a never identifies himself with Isla
m,
the image of Isla
m, thus far closely linked to terrorism,
will benefit from the ascendancy to the White House
by a man whose fathers were Muslims and who carries an Islamic name.
"Hussein" no longer will be remembered as the surname of an Iraqi dictator but
the middle name of the 44th U.S. President. And Isla
m, which denies
the
deity of Christ and kills Christians in its lands, has become the
religion that fathered the President of the United States.
