He's a Muslim He's not a Muslim

Stated? Really? Strange that you think he's an atheist, given the almost (to me) nauseating level of God-grovelling US politics seems to require these days, and of which we have plenty of proof in Obama's case.

Thus, he has islamic sympathies simply because the more success islam has in the world, the weaker the US and Judeao-Xtianity appears to be. He isn't muslim - but radical islam presents itself as a tool which he has used. Take the overthrow of Mubarek and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This stripped the US of a reliable ally in the region, weakening the US globally.

So Obama has used the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow Mubarak in order to further reduce US and "judeo-Xtian" (whatever that is) power? I'm reminded of that old canard about extraordinary claims.

Libyan power is more and more being controlled by Islamic hardliners like Abdel Hakim Belhaj. When radical islamists were poised to take control, the US decided to "help" them - and the governments (however horrible they were) toppled. Yet when a radical islamic government was threatened - the US stood idly by while they slaughtered their own people - in Iran.

I think there's a definite difference to be drawn between the Libyan situation and the one in Iran. The Iranian government was never severely threatened by the Green movement.
