We Are a Muslim Country

It is important to note that "if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." The same man who just a few weeks ago declared to the world that America was not a "Christian" nation, is now taking a new approach and calling America one of the largest Muslim nations in the world.

The theme of President Obama's visits to Riyadh on Wednesday and Cairo on Thursday, is slightly different than many imagined. The theme is to portray America as a more tolerant and more Muslim nation. The President, who refused to use his middle name during the campaign, is now being introduced as Barack Hussein Obama before several Muslim leaders. Some may call this a clever maneuver and an attempt to reach out to Muslim countries, to do away with the past of George W. Bush. I beg to differ.

In my opinion, the President is finally taking the opportunity to express his true colors. Portrayed as a practicing "christian" during the campaign, the President has never been baptized and appears ready to start embracing his inner Muslim. Apparently, his advisors believe that America is now willing to accept the presidents background and less likely to ostricize him for his religious heritage. During the campaign this type of announcement would have surely been a major strike against his efforts. Proving once again, that "change" really means the ability to change the story or facts when they become convenient.

I for one, do not think that the President's religious background should have had anything to do with him being elected or not elected, much like I think that Mitt Romney received a bad rap for being a Mormon. I may disagree with their reilgious views, but this is America and everyone should have the freedom to practice whatever religion they choose. The problem that I have with the President is the deception that is involved with his religious views.

During the campaign the President himself stated that his father was an agnostic, now he is claiming his fathers Muslim background. When John McCain referred to America as a "Christian" nation during the campaign he was met with heavy criticism from the left wing media and later even changed his terminology and made reference to our Judeo-Chrisitan value system. I wonder if Keith Olberman and his Obama Kool-Aid Drinkers will bring down the same wrath on Barack Hussein Obama for his comments? I highly doubt it, after all what can one expect from a bunch of hypocrites?
