You Won't Believe What
President Obama Said
About Muslims
President Obama made a condescending
appeal to religious Americans that showcased
he doesn't know the first thing about religion.
As Townhall notes:
A day after visiting a mosque in
Baltimore, President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast on
Thursday morning. He shared observations from his trip, which he said
was meant to “let our Muslim American brothers and sisters know they
too are Americans.”
The president shared a quick story about one Muslim he met who told
him he was hesitant to pray after the San Bernardino attacks out of fear
for unwanted attention. However, not wanting to give his child the wrong
impression that fear will consume their lives, this Muslim man “put down
his rug and he prayed.” That, Obama suggested, is the kind of courage
all Americans need to have when practicing their religion.
The president’s speech was full of this overarching theme of faith over
fear. He offered moving remarks about how his own faith has guided
him and thanked God for Pastor Saeed Abedini’s long overdue return
from Iran.
Yet, it was hard to overlook the political undertones permeating the
president’s remarks.
“Fear does funny things,” he said. “Fear can lead us to lash out at those
who are different. Or get some sinister other under control.
He likened this fear to selfish impulses.
“If we let it consume us, the consequences of that fear can be worse
than any outward threat.”
“Faith,” he said, is “the great cure for fear.” “Jesus is a good cure for fear.”
Got that. "Faith" is lining up behind whatever policy President Obama decides is
Christian. This is the theology of a man who thinks Christianity is an affront to reason,
something folks cling to when they can't fathom the infinite wisdom of progressive ideas.
This is the false binary he's offering us. You can either be a true Christian and blindly
This is the false binary he's offering us. You can either be a true Christian and blindly
support the unvetted entry of thousands of immigrants who are openly hostile to
Christianity in this country, or you can be irrational and afraid, and in defiance of God.
Suddenly, his claims that he didn't pay attention to anything that was being said in
Suddenly, his claims that he didn't pay attention to anything that was being said in
church for the better part of a decade seem true.
