Conservative senator says Obama Cairo speech ‘un-American’

Raw Story
Saturday, June 6, 2009
The senator who once famously declared that global warming was the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people” has now moved on to President Barack Obama.
In comments made to an Oklahoma news outlet, Sen. James Inhofe (R-KN) declared Obama’s speech in Cairo attempting to ameliorate tension between the United States and the Muslim world “un-American,” because he referred to the war in Iraq as a “war of choice,” “and didn’t criticize Iran for developing a nuclear program.”
Inhofe “also criticized the president for suggesting that torture was conducted at the military prison in Guantanamo, saying, ‘There has never been a documented case of torture at Guantanamo,’” The Oklahoman wrote.
“I just don’t know whose side he’s on,” Inhofe told the paper.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Inhofe hasn’t shied from the limelight over his zealous defense of global warming skeptics. In 2005, in Senate floor speech, he stood by his remarks calling climate change a “hoax” and said that “environmental extremists” were simply using the issue as a fundraising tool.
“Environmental extremists exploit the issue for fundraising purposes, raking in millions of dollars, even using federal taxpayer dollars to finance their campaigns,” Inhofe quipped.
“For these groups, the issue of catastrophic global warming is not just a favored fundraising tool,” he added. “In truth, it’s more fundamental than that. Put simply, man-induced global warming is an article of religious faith. Therefore contending that its central tenets are flawed is, to them, heresy of the most despicable kind.”

Qur?an 9:29:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
From the Koran from which The One Obama loves.

Allah is just another name for God. The Israelis call Him Yahweh. The Germans call Him Gott. So it is really awful for you to be so sacreligious about God because you dont like the spelling or the way somebody worships.

Reply to Truthteller: You have taken a particular verse out of context and misrepresent it. Unless you read the Quran closely with the biography of Muhammad and the history of early Islam, you will go wrong in understanding the scripture.
This verse was revealed when the Meccans who considered Muhammad the enemy and his religion vicious and rebellious to their faith, marched about 200 miles all the way from the city of Mecca to Medina (where Muhammad got political asylum.) with a well armed and strong army of three thousand men, and with the the intention of killing Muhammad and destroying his faith. But Muhammad could not collect more than a 1000 men poorly equipped.
Then God revealed to Muhammad to fight in self-defence against those who did not believe in one God, the hereafter, etc. ( That is the verse that you have quoted out of context)
The verse asks Muhammad to fight against those who do not forbid what is forbidden. This means that the Meccans wanted to kill Muhammad and his followers which was forbidden, and Muhammad was asked to stop them from destroying and killings that were forbidden.
This is a simple law of just war of self defence, morality and social justice, which is proved far too many times in American history of independence and in very many liberation movements such as the Libyan one against the Italian brutal colonialism, or the Algerian one against the Colonial France, in the US helping the Talibans fighting against Russian aggression of Afghanistan in the 80s, and against American intervention in Vietnam in the 70s and scores of such examples.
I can show hundreds of verses from the Old Testament and New Testament, if taken out of context are horrendously brutal, vicious and illogical. Religious scriptures require extraordinary skill in interpretations, I wonder whether you have the intelligence, patience and goodwill to really understand it. Try to kill your prejudices and learn to read widely and without preconceived ideas. Discrediting and insulting do not solve problems.

Can anyone else back this as being true? I would like for this to be true, but it would be good to have a confirmation.
Seems in line with most actions we’ve seen in the Middle East.

Religion is about picking and choosing the good parts… and Obama is smart to do point out the better parts of that book. This is better in converting hearts and minds rather than bombs..

Those who insist on inserting religious connotations to articles that have nothing to do with the Constitutional issue of freedom of religion, AS WELL AS those who bash religion when the article has nothing to do with one’s right to freedom of religion are counter-productive to the cause of Liberty. Hamilton stated, “For in politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.” To claim that a person is any more or any less a Patriot because of their religious beliefs is an affront to the very basic principle of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The proper discussion of religion in regard to the topics in the news articles should be relegated to the topic at hand.

From the Jew Talmud (I’ll paraphrase)
“Gentiles are animals. Slaughter them or use them as you would any animal of burden.”
Muslims and Christians BOTH believe in Jesus and his teachings, Jews beleive in nothing but their Jewishness. (why do Christians think they have sole ownership of Jesus when Muslims also consider him a prophet? While Jews consider him an idiot lunatic much deserved of death)

He’s also a homophobe, a torture apologist, critic of the Red Cross that also favors restricting loans for higher education. Keeping Americans stupid, intolerant and broke is this dickweed’s mission.

Hooray for Inhofe speaking out against this global warming BS. I’ll bet Al “I invented the internet” Gore is seething since Inhofe is a threat to his becoming a billionaire on the back of the green scam.

I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for al gore.

That was aan ugly thing to say. I think Inhofe is a complete douchebag… but I still hope he avoids Hell… along with Al Gore and you.

A quick look over Inhofe’s voting record brings the obvious question to mind,”Wth does Inhofe know about being an American?”
There is no credibility left in the replublicrat party!! Quit falling for the “false left/right paradigm”! Vote for third party members who have a good moral record. Research your choices(it might take you two or three hours but, it will affect your entire life) and make informed decisions and mail or walk-in your mail-in ballot so there is a paper trail to follow.
Once we replace these crooks and servants of the elitist scum with honest servants of the people, we can hold real trials and make those responsible for this mess accountable!

This chain email is bogus bullshit. The supposed author has disclaimed it as her own. Moreover, the tone of the letter leads one to believe it was more likely penned by a fourth grader than a fourth grade teacher.
” This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country…”
BULLSHIT!
The views revealed in the email are those of the author and do not represent the views of MOST educated Americans.

Someone at Raw Story messed up… “Sen. James Inhofe (R-KN)” … well.. he is actually a Republican from Oklahoma. And he is a ginormous tool.
Inhofe will call B.S. on global warming and Obama’s stunts all day, but only so long as you also believe it’s necessary to piss on our Constitution and instigate wars without cause. Hopefully Oklahoma will get some REAL MEN to represent us soon.

Obama is a man of many hats, What is said to a European nation on a Monday does not hold true to a American audience on a Tuesday. To say it another way this impostor word ain’t worth the gun powder to blow him to hell. After 8 years of the most destructive administration in the history of the US the American public is forced to endure another liar and con artist
along with a pathetic congress and senate that are only interested in sucking every dime that can out of the system.

I dont trust this obama dude at all. I think in the end because of his failure his muslim background will be blamed and then will come dictatorship where marshall law will implemented.
June 7th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Nice job Soetoro. Maybe it was all your muslim studies you had as a youth that make you feel like you owe the muslim world something. When you say Chicago is your hometown, that makes me laugh. Your hometown is where you spend your childhood which was Indonesia. If I were you I would worry more about the American Grand Jury than some stupid world apology tour. In my grade school lessons were taught in ENGLISH. Please tell us what happened with your secret meeting you and Biden had with the supreme court. It’s no wonder everything is “under seal”. You should be apologizing to the US citizens for the shadow of deception that follows you everywhere instead of going to france. I am so glad your wife and kids got to stick around for an extra day to tour france at our expense.

Interesting twist. Another attempt to simplify the propaganda. Translated, these comments should read: the President is not properly perpetuating the mythology that we set up for the sheeple to believe. He is introducing nuances that take more than a 4th grade education to understand and sift through. This is thoroughly un new world order and will only serve to dilute our potent propaganda.
