Obama Citizenship

Al Jazeera Censors: Obama to Muslims: ?I know because I am one of them.?

By Phil

Via TheObamaFile, Al Jazeera originally reported the actual phrase when the President was speaking to the Turkish parliament. The original story, now scrubbed, can be seen here (as stored on TheObamaFile’s site) with the following original verbiage:

Al Jazeera’s Anita McNaught, reporting from Istanbul, said: “This was the address we had all been waiting for, it hit all the right notes.

“He talked about the contribution of the Islamic faith in the life of American Muslims and then he personalised that message by saying ‘I know because I am one of them‘. It was a message that reached out to many today.

“Of course it needs to be followed up by actions and by discernible policy changes.” [emphasis mine]

The above has since been replaced, here, with the following:

Al Jazeera’s Anita McNaught, reporting from Istanbul, said the highly anticipated address hit all the right notes and reached out to many.

As TheObamaFile opines:

Well, I have the Al Jazeera page cached, so they can kiss the soles of my feet.

I have repeatedly been called every name in the book by the Obots for re-publishing articles that even remotely suggest that Obama is a Muslim — but here it is — straight from the donkey’s mouth — Obama, himself, telling the Muslim world that he is one of them — that’s why he humbled himself before the protector of the two holy places.

Now, get ready for the Obots to parse what Obama really meant, as they try to cover up this frank admission.

While the American Constitution provides for no eligibility test based on religion (and we are all glad that it does not do so), the bottom line is that the President fully admits — and, apparently, the press censors at will — that he is a Muslim. Therefore, one should not be in any way surprised when any actions by this President can be seen as accomodating to Muslims, especially in light of his Executive Order to shut down Gitmo (to which a number of federal officials have since reacted), just to hit the tip of the iceberg.
