Obama’s Speech on Islam

Claim #1: No Religion Condones Killing Innocents?

“No religion condones the killing of innocents.”

Really? Allow me to introduce Obama to Islam.

What Islam Says About How to Treat the Non Believer or “Kafir”

Islam condones lying to, the killing of the Kafir, the rape of the Kafir, and the enslavement of the Kafir. ISIS/ISIL is following exactly what Islam says to do. ISIS rapists would often tell their captives that they were raping them as part of their religion and that raping them was their duty.

Secondly, while Obama may view non-Muslims as innocents, this is not how Islam views non-Muslims. Islam does not view non-believers as innocents. It would probably be a good thing if Obama knew this before making this speech.

At the 13:15 market, the following video does an excellent job of explaining all of the actions that are considered not-innocent by Islam.

Let us review that list.

• Apostacy
• Adultery
• Homosexuality
• Promoting “Disbelief”
• Innovations Within Islam
• Blasphemy and Insults
• Disobedience to Heads of State
• Murder
• “Corruption” (normally meaning a corruption of Islam)

With this article alone, I am guilty of three of the items that would make a person not innocent.

Obama’s view of innocents does not match Islam’s view of innocents.

The penalty is death or apostasy, and as explained there is a reason for it.

While classical Islamic law has traditionally called for execution for those who refuse to repent of apostasy from Islam, the definition this act and whether and how it should be punished, are matters of controversy and opinions of Islamic scholars differ on these questions.

According to the classical legal doctrine, apostasy in Islam includes not only an explicit renunciation of the Islamic faith (whether for another religion or irreligiosity), but also any deed or utterance implying unbelief, such as one denying a “fundamental tenet or creed” of Islam. Those who were originally forced to embrace Islam, or who acted as apostates out of fear, or who repented of their apostasy, should not be subject to execution.

Until the late 19th century, the vast majority of Sunni and Shia jurists held that for adult men, apostasy from Islam was a crime as well as a sin, an act of treason punishable with the death penalty, typically after a waiting period to allow the apostate time to repent and to return to Islam. The kind of apostasy which the jurists generally deemed punishable was of the political kind, although there were considerable legal differences of opinion on this matter. Wael Hallaq states that “[in] a culture whose lynchpin is religion, religious principles and religious morality, apostasy is in some way equivalent to high treason in the modern nation-state”.

In modern times the majority of modern Islamic jurists continue to regard apostasy not only as a sin but as a crime deserving the death penalty (according to Abdul Rashied Omar), although others argue its punishment should not be death, or should just be left to God, – Wikipedia

Is ISIS Not Muslim, Even Though They Do What  Mohammed Did?

ISIS tells us they are Muslim, quotes directly from the Koran and Hadiths to justify their actions, other Muslims “misinterpret” these documents in the same way…..and yet Obama’s conclusion is this is not Islam. Is Obama a greater expert on Islam than ISIS?  Furthermore, Mohammed did all the things ISIS does. Mohammed and his followers conquered Arabia in 10 years, murdering, raping, and taking slaves.

Claim #2: ISIL is Not Muslim Because Their Victims are Muslim?

“The vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”

What does that have to do with anything?

Muslims kill other Muslims all the time, and that does not make them not Muslim. Is Obama aware that there are different sects in religions, and they often see each other as distinct? Has Obama ever heard of the Protestant wars in Europe?

Claim #3: Obama Has No Idea Where This Syrian Civil Came From?

ISIL has taken advantage of sectarian strive an civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Syrian border.

Obama seems to be leaving out that his administration originally funded ISIS/ISIL. The Obama Administration was looking for religious crazies who could be counted on to oust Assad of Syria. This was the same strategy when the US chose to fund the Muhajideen in Afghanistan.

For decades, the back story is that the US has desired to remove Assad as he is a “puppet of Russia,” which is not the US’s favorite type of puppet. The US prefers puppets of the US. ISIS/ISIL took US money and arms and decided that the north of Iraq was a tempting target and attacked it. The US even faked a chemical weapons attack to blame it on Assad to use it as a pretext to invade Syria.

Finally, who started the civil war in Syria?

The answer is the US did. However, ISIS/ISIL in Iraq is referred to as covert “blowback.” This was scope creep to the US. ISIL/ISIS was only supposed to destabilize Syria, not Iraq.

Claim #4: ISIL is a Terrorist Organization?

ISIL is a terrorist organization….pure and simple.

Yes, which is why the US chose them and funded them….to terrorize Syria.

Claim #5: ISIL Has No Vision?

ISIL has no vision except the slaughter of all those that stand in its way.

Yes, which again is why the US chose them and funded them….to terrorize Syria. It seems like Obama needs to spend more time looking at the invoices that he approved and the documents he was given by the CIA when the question of funding what became known as ISIS/ISIL occurred.

Obama appears to have some memory loss.

But can “slaughter” really be said to be their vision? ISIL is dedicated to Islam and to creating an Islamic state. Their objective is the same as stated in Islam, to create a society entirely dominated by Islam.

Slaughter is their technique, but it can’t be said to be its vision.

Claim #6: ISIL is Unique in Brutality?

These terrorists are unique in their brutality. The execute prisoners, they kill children, they enslave, rape, and force women into marriage.

Certainly, these are all things that impressed the US so much about their resumes and why they were sent US dollars and arms.

As for being unique, that is not true.

As for executing prisoners, killing children, enslaving and raping, this is exactly what the Koran and the Hadiths instruct Muslims to do, and which Mohammed and his followers did. It appears as if Obama is not aware that these things are all called out.

Claim #7: Only ISIS Forces People into Marriage? (and Never Done by Muslims)

As for forcing women into marriage — this happens all the time in Islamic societies. Has Obama heard of the term “honor killing?”

One of the most common reasons for apostasy is that Muslim women refuse to marry who their parents assign to them to marry. These arrangements are often made when the women and men are young children, and refusing the marriage creates a “stain” on the family’s honor. It really seems like Obama needs to read up on Islam.

As the UK has become more Muslim, honor killings are becoming a bigger issue. This is an extremely well-established practice, and Obama appears to be a dunce for not knowing or admitting that he knows anything about this. 

Claim #8: ISIS Threatens Non Religions what Genocide?

They threaten the religious minority with genocide.

What does the term “religious minority” mean?

Is Obama trying to say, or covering up for the fact that he means non-Muslims?

It might be good if he were to do this because threatening non-Muslims with mass murder is nothing particularly unusual in Islam.

In Iran, when they take the census to see who is what religion, they tell the individual that the penalty for not being Muslim is death. Hence, Iran normally scores almost entirely Muslim.

Claim #9: Acts Of Barbarism Including Killing American Journalists

And in acts of barbarism they took the lives of two American journalists.

This is small potatoes.

ISIS ran rape camps, wrote a rape manual, described how to rape POWs, enslaved, traded slaves, and list the horrible things ISIS did, which were done according to ISIS right in line with Mohammed and Islam.

Claim #10: ISIS Is Now a Threat to the US and Our Allies?

If left unchecked, ISIL could pose a threat beyond the region, including to the United States, and ISIL has threatened the US and our allies..

How would that work exactly? ISIL is going to attack the US? Is that attack American soldiers where they should not be in the Middle East and where they were sent under the false intelligence to justify a war by the Bush Administration, or is the attacking the US’s landmass? Is Obama saying that if American soldiers were not in the Middle East and that if the US kept its nose out of the Middle East, that ISIL would still be a threat to the US? Does Obama think that being in the Middle East for the express purpose of stealing oil might be a motivator to ISIL to want to strike at the US, or does Obama think these two issues are entirely unrelated?

If this is true, why did the US fund them and arm them? Isn’t this the point of the speech where Obama should come clean that the US should not have so well funded ISIL?

This seems like a good time to admit this. Next time the US should be more careful about who it picks to destabilize countries.

In this video, David Wood demonstrates how deluded Barak Obama was regarding Islam. This is part of yet another example of a pattern of Obama to not investigate topics and to triangulate backward from what is politically feasible, versus telling the truth. 

Given what is in the Koran, it is putrid for Obama to refer to it as “The Holy Koran.” Interestingly, this is what Muslims actually think of Obama as a non-believer.

The Inferiority of Non-Muslims

Far from teaching universal love, the Quran incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims, even comparing them to vile animals and gloating over Allah’s hatred of them and his dark plans for their eternal torture. Muslims are told that they are destined to dominate non-believers, against whom harsh treatment is encouraged.

Non-Believers Between Feces and Camel Sweat

The Ayatollah Khomeini, who dedicated his entire life to studying Islam, said that non-Muslims  rank somewhere between “feces” and the “sweat of a camel that has consumed impure food.”  Small wonder.

Christians and Jews Not Considered Fully Human

Christians and Jews are not considered fully human in Islam.  The penalty for killing one of them is limited to one-third of the compensation due for unintentionally killing a Muslim.  Muhammad made it clear that a believer cannot be put to death for killing a non-believer, since they are not equal. – The Religion of Peace

Conclusion

This is just unceasing lying on the part of Obama. He is lying about the origin of ISIS/ISIL and how he approved their funding and lying about Islam.

The entire video is something like a comedy routine. Obama keeps proposing all these horrible things that ISIS did, but every item he lists is simply a description of what Islam teaches. This is like a person reading off a can of chicken soup ingredients and concluding the following.

It has carrots, it has chicken, it has peas, it has onions,”

And then declares…

“but let us be clear about this, what is in this can have nothing to do with chicken soup.”

All one has to do is read the Koran and Hadiths, and observe everything pointed out by Obama is a core tenant of Islam. This is why we created the following table.

ISIS Versus Mohammed

See if you can tell the difference between what ISIS in the 2010s and what Mohammed and his followers did in the 7th century.
