Barack Obama's Muslim Call to Prayer

One year ago, on February 27, 2007, Barack Obama was interviewed by The New York Times, in which he said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth." He then recited it "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," according to The Times.

The opening lines of this prayer:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

*Hear what the Muslim call to prayer sounds like.

This probably faired well with Louis Farrakhan who this past week said, "Barack Obama is the Hope of the Entire World."

As ObamaMessiah reported:

"The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours' Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.

"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."

Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.

"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

So, what say you?

Michelle Obama, Now She's Proud of America

On February 18, 2008, Michelle Obama, the potential next First Lady of the United States said, "People in this country are ready for change, and hungry for a different kind of politics and let me tell you something, for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

Lots of reaction and criticism about it. We'll talk about this and more on the show tomorrow -- how does Michelle Obama see America and more, including interesting facts about the Obama annual income, including Michelle's $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, a major Wal-Mart supplier with whom she cut ties immediately after Barack made comments critical of Wal-Mart at an AFL-CIO forum in New Jersey, on May 14 2007.

The information will be worth the listen.

Fewer Muslims in U.S. Than Thought

The Pew Center released a new survey - U.S. Religious Landscape Survey

As Debbie Schlussel writes:

Since 9/11, Muslims and their propaganda groups have repeatedly touted that their legions include 6-7 million Americans. In the past few years, they've invented a new number: 9 million. But the Pew survey--and remember, Pew is a liberal outfit--found that only 0.6% are, in fact, Muslims, or 1.8 million out of 300,000,000 residents of America. That includes Muslim illegal aliens, too (of which there are far more than the conventional wisdom admits).

Very interesting.

As John Adams said, "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

Barack Dressed in Muslim Clothes

As seen on Drudge Report

Barack Obama wearing nomadic clothes given to him during a 2006 visit to Kenya.

Yusuf Garaad Omar, head of the BBC's Somali Service, writes :

These are the normal clothes that nomadic people wear. The head turban is especially used by elderly people as a suggestion of respect. It is something that has no meaning whatsoever in Somalia culture. If you see someone dressed like that in Somalia, you think it is a nomadic person -- that is all. There is no religious significance to it whatsoever. It is mainly the nomadic people who use it. Some of them are religious, some are not.

News has traveled the world. As the Sydney Morning Herald wrote:

The website The Drudge Report, which broke the story, said the image came from the Clinton campaign.

"Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton, or Bill Clinton, that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," Senator Obama later told a San Antonio, Texas, radio station.

"The notion that they would try to use this to imply in some way that I'm foreign, I think is, you know, unfortunate," he told another station in Dallas.

The Clinton campaign issued a response but did not deny staff had circulated the photo.

Obama Says we've been Bamboozled!

Gotta see this video...have we been 'bamboozled' as Obama says? Or is he the one doing the bamboozling?

Debbie Schlussel put together this video and says it looks like Obama 'lifted words' from racist, anti-Semitic Spike Lee's movies which glorifies Nation of Islam leaders. And asks, "Do you really want this apparent imitator of Denzel Washington imitating Malcolm X??

Rush Limbaugh talks about this on his site.

So, which is it?

Kathleen Willey Warns Obama about Clinton

HOT OFF THE SHOW TODAY: Kathleen Willey, a former White House aide, has warned Super Delegates and written an open letter to Barack Obama warning him not to be surprised by attacks when brought by “the nation’s most ruthless political tag team.”

The author of "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,", Kathleen’s commentary, appeared on WorldNetDaily last week urging the presidential candidate to "expect the worst and safeguard his own private records against exposure by team Clinton."

So powerful, we re-aired my interview with her again to hear her own story of threats and sexual assault by Bill Clinton.

As Fox News reported:

Referencing an e-mail from Obama’s wife Michelle in which she stated they didn’t expect negative campaign tactics from fellow Democrats, Willey, one of several women who has accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual harassment, wrote: “Don’t be naïve. When those ‘fellow Democrats’ include Hillary Clinton, be ready to expect anything.”

The former White House volunteer became a familiar name in political circles after she claimed that Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office in 1997 when she went to him asking for help in establishing contacts so she could land a job.

She alleges that when she tried to expose the truth, Hillary Clinton led an intimidation campaign against her that included the 2007 theft of a manuscript of Willey’s soon-to-be published book.

See more on Willey's story at our Issues Library.

Obama: Rock Star for President?

Glenn Beck likened Barack Obama to a rock star given all the women who are fainting at his rallies.

WorldNetDaily called Barack Obama rallies - a traveling salvation show – campaign rallies and speeches that seem like the secular counterpart of tent-meeting revivals and evangelistic sermons common in the U.S. a century ago. And, in apparent similarity to the religious enthusiasm of that bygone era, some of those coming to hear the Democrat presidential candidate "preach" his message are fainting as he speaks.

A video compilation by Breitbart.TV shows Obama on several occasions breaking off his speeches to address someone who has collapsed, usually close to the stage.

Some are suggesting that these faintings are planned...more fakery than fanaticism.

This is not an unusual experience. People have fainted at Hillary rallies, etc. Call it fatigue, heat, excitement, whatever.

But what is different with Obama is his calling attention to the fainters, over and over again.

What do you think?

HOT OFF THE SHOW! David Horowitz & the Declaration Against Genocide

David Horowitz joined me on the show today to talk about the Declaration Against Genocide campaign that he launched at CPAC this weekend. David Horowitz is founder of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, Frontpagemagazine, author of numerous books, including "Unholy Alliance", as well as the founder of the Freedom Center's new Islamo Fascism Awareness project. Islamo-fascists in the Middle East are preparing a new genocide against the Jews.

In part the Declaration states:

Genocide is the murder, or plan to murder, an entire people -- which is a crime against humanity; which we have seen in our time against millions of Armenians, Cambodians, Tutsis, Sudanese, Bosnian Muslims and others; and the largest and most devastating genocide on record -- the Holocaust of the Jews by Hitler. Now, there is a new genocide of the Jews being called for.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas: "Shooting at your brother is forbidden. Raising rifles against the (Israeli) occupation is our legitimate right."

Dr. Hamza Dhib Mustafa, Palestinian Fatwa party: "Muslims are masters of the world, its leaders and teachers, even if the West rejects this."

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible."

See and sign the Declaration Against Genocide here.

David needs your help as he works to get this information on American college campuses.

Archbishop Supports Sharia Law

Last week the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said that the UK should allow Muslims to live according to Sharia law rather than Britain's legal system.

The Archbishop argued on a radio program that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law:
-would "help maintain social cohesion"
-Muslims could, for instance, choose to have marital disputes dealt with in a Sharia court
-that Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty and state loyalty"

He said that “An approach to law which simply says, there’s one law for everybody – I think that’s a bit of a danger.”

How? May I ask, When you’re in the UK? Okay, under Hitler, under Saddam Hussein, et al...but in the UK?

He's not the first to call for a mix of legal and social ‘alternatives’ for Muslims. Last year Australian police were told that they were to defer to Muslim clerics in matters of domestic violence in Muslim homes. Domestic violence against women is considered part of their culture. In other words, allowed. (Not to mention honor killings)?

According to the BBC, a UK government minister called the idea of mixing a Sharia legal system with the English system "unacceptable".

Such a mixed system is at work in countries such as Nigeria, Indonesia, and Egypt. But how successful are they? Well, if you consider allowing domestic violence successful, or as in Nigeria a few years ago when 12 Muslim northern states adopted Sharia punishments into their penal code - including amputation for theft and death for adultery or sodomy, successful. The Sharia police, the hisbah, have shut down bars, prevented women from taking taxis with male drivers, censored books they considered critical of Islam.

Last month, the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, said some places in the UK were no-go areas for non-Muslims.

This kind of multicultural-thinking is not only Swirled...but a Can of worms. A can of Big ugly worms.

HOT OFF THE SHOW! 'Darwin Day' in our Schools

Yesterday on February 12, Darwin's birthday, public schools will celebrate 'Darwin Day'and, of course, the message that Darwin’s explanation of how man got here, the theory of evolution, is a "fact." International in scope, and not just for schools, but civic organizations, museums and the like, 'Darwin Day' raises many issues:

Should evolution be taught as fact?

Should schools teach Creationism as well?

Is there an agenda behind pushing for Darwin Day?

Should we have an 'Einstein Day' or 'Isaac Newton Day' or an Intelligent Designer Day now?

Richard Dawkins, a member of the board of Darwin Day Celebration, a devotee of Charles Darwin, an atheist and the author of The God Delusion, said that everyone believed in evolution except "the ignorant, stupid or wicked."

It's not just Darwin's followers who are advocates of evolution, but the mainstream media helps their cause, such as MSNBC did with a whole series on where the human species is headed in Human Evolution at the Crossroads which discusses some far out ideas as 'Unihumans'.

And as I've mentioned before, there are some who believe in 'intelligent design,' but not by a Creator. They believe an alien life force is a possible option for explaining creation, and they are serious. Many may be surprised to know that Francis Crick, Nobel Prize winner and one of the discoverers of the DNA, believes that life forms were sent to earth in a space ship by a dying civilization. As a matter of fact, both discoverers of the DNA, Watson and Crick, are outspoken atheists.

This, of course, begs the following Questions:

1) Why would scientists not welcome the search for evidence in regards to the possibility of Intelligent Design when it is the very (purported) nature of science to explore all possibilities?

2) Is science broad enough to allow for theories of human origins which incorporate the acts of an intelligent Designer?

3) And is the teaching of the theory of Intelligent Design appropriate in public education, using scientific evidence, the same that is claimed to be used in teaching Darwinism?

Super Tuesday - Super Delegates

The numbers are all still coming in from Super Tuesday, but it looks pretty solid that Senators Clinton and McCain are the winners.

California absentee ballots will still have to be counted even after the regular votes are in. Most of the 24 states which held primaries and caucuses are approaching 100% counted. And we'll see the final-final come morning.

We've heard alot about the Super Delegates during this election - which are in the Democrat party only. They are 800 party faithfuls, Govenors and even members of Congress. As a matter of fact 275 of the 800 are members of Congress, many of which are still uncommitted as to who they will vote for at the Democrat Convention, such as California's Barbara Boxer.

Basically, what this means is that Congress will have its own 'campaigning' going on especially with both Democrat candidates members of the Senate.

Wonder just how much wining and dining will be going on to gain the votes of the Super Delegates in and out of Congress? When Ted Kennedy says he supports Obama, that means working for him to gain these Super Delegate votes in the Senate to be sure. And likewise others doing the same for Clinton.

In order to win the Democratic nomination, a candidate needs 2,026 delegates out of a total of 4,050. These 800 Super Delegates can make a difference, especially with the neck and neck race Obama and Clinton are running.

Currently, Hillary Clinton leads in the Super Delegate count.

Republicans don't have Super Delegates.
