Obama and Islam
Just after being elected, Obama declared that building bridges with the Islamic world would be a high priority of his administration. He then gave a disastrous speech in Cairo in which he apologized for the United State’s alleged misdeeds, bowed to the Saudi King whose government funds Islamic jihad worldwide, and praised the new Islamist government in Turkey after the Turkish-sponsored “Gaza Flotilla” incident. But perhaps the most troubling aspect of his plan to hit the “reset” button with Islam is his abandonment of Israel as a way of currying favor with Muslim autocracies. Obama and Islam answers the question that these actions raise: what exactly is Barak Obama’s relationship to Islam? How does he see the Muslim extremism that has targeted America for destruction?

His work has aroused the ire of the foes of freedom and their dupes: in October 2011, Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups wrote to Homeland Security Advisor (and current CIA director) John Brennan, demanding that Spencer be removed as a trainer for the FBI and military groups, which he taught about the belief system of Islamic jihadists; Brennan immediately complied as counter-terror training materials were scrubbed of all mention of Islam and jihad. Spencer has been banned by the British government from entering the United Kingdom for pointing out accurately that Islam has doctrines of violence against unbelievers. He has been invited by name to convert to Islam by a senior member of al-Qaeda.

If you have read Malala, you know how futile all of Obama's ring-kissing was. He was/is despised in Muslim country's and basically considered Shaitan incarnate.

A must read. We are giving up our freedom of speech just as we celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Millions of good people have died to preserve freedom and our present society is giving it up without a shot. Our universities cancel speaking engagements when there is a complaint from a Muslim group. Our young have become apologists due to their ill conceived notion of equivalence of religions.

This short little paperback is an astute assessment of the president based on his background and associations, including his advisers, with Islam. Robert Spencer and David Horowitz point out that the policies and actions of this administration try to marry two opposing ideologies with catastrophic results for Americans.

The more i see as i started to try to find knowledge. knowledge about the real truth, of The Bible, koran. & kabala.
When i was 7yrs oldi could pray, some times in latin, others in English. at school we started with a prayer, then, 1when we finished for dinner. Again when we came back for the afternoon & again before we went home. I never thought those prayers stressful,i lovrd them. All my friends in my class enjoyed them, & the kifd whose latin was better, helped those whom weren't that good at latin. But i think it was good for us all. But when i was 10 yrs it was stopped, the latin, the prayers ,, No one told us why. Looking back, that was the descent into imorality & leaving the church. I wish i had taken it seariously, kept going to church with my little sister n friends. i find myself looking for Jesus now. That book about Obama disgusts me. ikd that bool The end of America. zo many,many innocents murdered. God forgive them for they know what they do. i want to wrepp for everyone. God bless.

This book has given me food for thought, l am studying lslam at the moment purely so that l can understand how the Muslim mind works, and stumbled across this book. From what l know now, it would not surprise me if the author is right about Obama, and he has given me reason to delve into Obama's real motives.
He could be using the lslamic system of 'taqiyya', which allows Muslims to lie to non Muslims if it can be of advantage to lslam.

and not with
The pamphlet cycles back between the topics. It is more or less the lies of our potus Islam edition/his failures, and then the reality of the view he tries (unsuccessfully) to placate.
It does not project or theorize on conspiracy. Supplied is a short cataloging of Obama's administration's actions- well cited, diverse, accurate, and reputable sources.

I read this book for the 2nd time. It is a 'must read for every American. It's hard to believe that the POTUS could put our country at such risk and that everyone supporting him would just fall in line with this way of thinking. Truly scary.

Every American should read
The Author tells the truth about Obama and Islam. Quick read and very informative. He cites actual words Obama said and exposes the hypocrisy of Obama and his administration.
