One, we know Barry Soetoro spent a number of years as a Muslim.

What we don’t know is:

• When he changed his name to Barack Obama and if that is his legal name?
• If the Illinois State Bar revoked his law license or allowed him to forfeit his license for perjury associated with swearing that Barack Obama was the only name he has ever used or some other violation of their rules and regulations?
• How he managed to travel to Muslim Pakistan – and on what passport – since Americans using American passports were prohibited from such travel?
• Was he enrolled in school as a foreign student and did he get preferential admissions treatment and financial aid as a foreign student?

Two, we know that Barack Obama regarded the anti-Semitic, anti-America, anti-white Reverend Jeremiah Wright as his spiritual mentor for over 20 years. And that Wright visited Libya with another notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Three, we know that Muslims are permitted to lie when it comes to advancing the cause of Islam. And if there is anything that Obama does well, it is lie to the American people.

The principle of Al-Takeyya <Source>

The Arabic word, "Takeyya", means "to prevent," or guard against. The principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to one's self or fellow Muslims. This principle gives Muslims the liberty to lie under circumstances that they perceive as life threatening. They can even deny the faith, if they do not mean it in their hearts. Al-Takeyya is based on the following Quranic verse:

"Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Surah 3: 28

According to this verse a Muslim can pretend to befriend infidels (in violation of the teachings of Islam) and display adherence with their unbelief to prevent them from harming him.

Under the concept of Takeyya and short of killing another human being, if under the threat of force, it is legitimate for Muslims to act contrary to their faith. The following actions are acceptable:

• Drink wine, abandon prayers, and skip fasting during Ramadan.
• Renounce belief in Allah.
• Kneel in homage to a deity other than Allah.
• Utter insincere oaths.

Four, we know that he tried to subvert the role of NASA into a Muslim outreach program – a position which was later walked back by the Administration. He has openly courted Muslims and Muslim nations while disregarding our allies.

Five, we know that Obama has failed to take a strong human rights position on Muslim women who are treated like chattel.

Six, we know that Obama has failed to take a position on Sharia law which is outdated, barbaric and has little or no tolerance for other religions.

Seven, we know that Obama has openly disrespected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – to his face and behind his back.

Eight, we know that Obama openly uses “radical” anti-Israel rabbis to trick people into believing he supports Jews.  

Dinner with Ahmadinejad

A Republican Jewish group is calling on the Obama campaign to distance itself from a controversial rabbi who has met with anti-Semitic Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and who sits on the board of an organization that has been listed as one of the “Top Ten Anti-Israel” groups by the Anti-Defamation League.

The rabbi in question is Lynn Gottlieb, who was listed as one of 613 “Rabbis for Obama,” a new Obama campaign effort to highlight its support among Jewish religious leaders.

Gottlieb dined with the Iranian president in 2008, and was among the first American rabbis to travel to the Islamic republic, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Gottlieb said that Americans should not pay attention to Ahmadinejad, despite his genocidal rhetoric.

“He’s the mouthpiece—we spend way too much time focusing on him,” the Jerusalem Post quoted her as saying in 2008.

She advocated that the U.S. government sit down for talks with Iran.

“We were all there for the sake of pressuring the US government to engage in direct dialogue and conversation,” she said, according to the Jerusalem Post. “The emphasis shouldn’t be on [Ahmadinejad] per se.”

Gottlieb, a devotee of the far-left J Street, also sits on the board of an organization that the Anti-Defamation League has dubbed one of the “Top 10 Anti-Israel Groups In America.”

The group, Jewish Voice for Peace, routinely criticizes the Jewish state and advocates in favor of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which wages economic warfare on Israel by boycotting goods produced in the country.

Gottlieb, a staunch supporter of BDS, gave a video tribute to the anti-Israel movement in 2010.

Gottlieb, who signs onto the video by giving the traditional Arabic greeting, “Salaam Alaikum,” or “Peace be unto you,” explains why Jews should boycott Israel.

“I believe the time now is to support Palestinian in their call for Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions … to pressure the Israeli government and people to cease and desist from the occupation of Palestinian lands,” she says. “I urge you all to consider boycott.”

Gottlieb says that BDS is the best method to pressure Israel into making concessions in the peace process.

“For me as a person committed to nonviolence for the past 40 years, I have seen this conflict try to be resolved by negotiation yet every peace plan has led to more and more occupation of Palestinian land,” she says. “I believe it is time to adopt the time honored tool and strategy of boycott. Boycotting governments, corporations and individuals that are somehow profiting from the illegal seizure from land.” <Source>

Bottom line …

Even though Jews are traditionally democrats and may support Obama, I have my doubts as whether or not Obama can be trusted as Iran prepares to become a nuclear nation.  Obama was the one that suggested that Israel compromise her defense posture by returning to her old borders as a condition of peace in the Middle East. And not one word about Muslims forgoing violence and daily rocket attacks.

I have my doubts – and you should too!

Can we trust a man who refuses to release his records, discuss his associations with radicals and who routinely lies to the American public? I think not.

Mitt Romney is a friend of Israel and a personal friend of Netanyahu from their time at the Boston Consulting Group. I think Romney and Ryan would be a better choice for America’s future than someone who hides in darkness and refuses to tell us who he is.
