…but that doesn’t mean that he’s a Muslim. Thoughts on an illogical article at Human Events.
I don’t think that the president is either a Muslim or a Christian. In order to be either, you have to believe in something greater than yourself.

Ouch!
Sadly, were it not for the existence of a very powerful, fast-spreading anti-West ideology out there disguised as religion, I’d be all on my soapbox getting my bleeding heart on about how the religious beliefs of politicians simply don’t matter because not only is that a poor indicator of job performance, it’s also a deeply personal issue.
But there is, so I won’t.
I agree, Rand, and not just in the tongue-in-cheek sense.
Progressives are ultimately invested in self-directed human evolution, and about as close to that as religion ever gets is liberation theology, which is barely even a religion iteself — more of a political beef with a little religious bacon wrapped around it to make it palatable to the masses.
He’s probably not a militant atheist, just sort of athiest-by-default — an “apathist”.
Obama’s remark about the beauty of the Muslim call to prayer isn’t the sort of thing a Muslim would say, I wouldn’t think. It’s more the sort of thing a self-conscious progressive liberal would say to show that they have the ability to appreciate foreign art unlike those (imaginary bugbear) Western Civ conservatives. You know how you go in a liberal progressive person’s house and it’s always full of ugly “folk art” from someplace like New Guinea and rugs woven out of goat hair and pottery that looks like a kindergartner made it but it really came from some place in South America where they have oxygen tanks for the tourists?
Obama’s not a Muslim. Sure they tend to be buttheaded and stuck on themselves too but in a different way. The reason he is so obsequious around the least European foreigners he meets isn’t some Islamic impulse but from his need to prove that he (unlike all those other US presidents) values non-European foreigners more. Because. Thought stops there. It doesn’t have to go any further — all it’s for is to establish progressive cred.
If only Obama had an ideology that viewed borrowing as sinful.
He seems to view it as a virtue.
Ah, but BHO only borrows other people’s money and sticks us with the bill! 2012 is not that far away, let’s just vote him into obscurity – where he belongs.
Win.
There is an interesting phenomenon among some on the right to hold two contradictory positions. One that Obama is a Muslim and two that Obama went to Jeremiah Wright’s for 20 years and never heard anything out of the ordinary.
It’s not contradictory — he’s secretly a Muslim, remember? He sat in Wright’s USA-hating church for 20 years for political purposes pretending to be a Christian.
the resonant frequency = cloward piven
I see what you did there.
As the original article on Volokh’s site points out, Human Events is not the magazine that it once was, and even back in the 80s it was not that good. This type of drivel is common on their web site, unfortunately.
I’ll note that my client’s net nanny’s main filtering is to weed out dishonest advertising, and as a result, I never get to see any of the ads on Human Events, except for the rare Amazon ad.
Consider the source…
