Misdirection

A friend recently sent a video with clips of Obama that support the idea that he is a Muslim.

Whether or not he is a Muslim, and I doubt it, that is the wrong part of him to be concerned about. A good magician will get his audience to look at what he wants them to see while he does what he must to make the trick work. That’s misdirection.

In the Cold War, some Americans, who were not members of the Communist Party, were called fellow-travelers. They condemned the worst actions of Communist Russia but supported the idea of Communism as a worthy addition to the American political scene.

This is what Obama is doing. He sends drones to kill Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but supports the idea of Islamic law as a worthy addition to American jurisprudence. Three examples of this support:

-- legitimizing the burqa and niqab,

--legitimizing the use of Islamic charity contributions to support jihad

--legitimizing the use of Sharia compliant finance instruments in AIG, a company in which the US Government holds a majority share.

He is approving the legal jihad while ostentatiously opposing the open warfare of jihad. Which of those two things is more dangerous for America?

It is clear to me that the Muslim Brotherhood organizations in America and the Organization of the Islamic Conference are a much greater threat to America than bin Laden, Zawahiri and Ahmadinejad combined. This is not an argument to stop killing jihad warriors, but to at least get started in fighting back in the ideological part of this war.

That is the battlefield on which this war will be won or lost. At present, we are losing.
