It is hard to conceive how anyone could screw up a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. According to Michael Medved, that is exactly what President Obama did when he attended his first prayer breakfast as president. Apparently, Obama addressed those gathered at the breakfast with a speech containing numerous inaccuracies.
In a recent Townhall.com column, among a list of glaring inaccuracies presented by Obama, Medved considered this statement as the president's most noteworthy single passage: "We subscribe to different accounts of how we came to be here and where we're going next - and some subscribe to no faith at all. But no matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate. There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. That much we know."
Medved wrote, "With this sweeping simplification, the President of the United States offered instant exoneration to those who follow the false God of fanatical Islam.........." Medved quipped, "No God who condones taking the life of innocent human beings?" He revealed that three days after the prayer breakfast, "British MP (member of parliament) John Whittingdale, Chairman of the House of Commons Media Select Committee, condemned Al Jazeera's English language network for broadcasting live sermons by esteemed cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi 'celebrating the Holocaust and praying for the killing of all Jews.'"
Medved continued, "Every Friday without exception, radical mosques in various corners of the planet conduct prayerful services not only condoning, but demanding, the massacre of innocents - services often followed by riots and violence. If President Obama paused to consider the nineteen deeply devout (Muslim) hijackers who slaughtered 3,000 Americans on 9/11, and if he reflected on the tens of millions of Muslims around the world who celebrate these killers as 'the Magnificent Nineteen,' could he honestly conclude 'that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate'?"
I am not going into the other Obama speech inaccuracies reported by Medved because what I have covered so far is in keeping with several of my past blogs. Winston Churchill once called Islam "the most retrograde force in the world" and he compared Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to the Quran. I have always maintained history has shown that Muslims adhere to a faith that is NOT and NEVER has been a religion of peace.
No God who condones taking the life of innocent human beings? Muhammad, the father of Islam, was a brutal warlord who had his opponents murdered, had prisoners of war executed, and personally participated in slaughtering the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. And how does Obama think the Muslims took over much of Africa, Asia and parts of Europe? How did some zealots from Mecca manage to establish Islam in Indonesia where Obama spent part of his schooling? Muhammad ordered the faithful to take up the sword and go forth to conquer the world in the name of Allah. And so, with the clarion call of "death to the infidels," the faithful set forth from Mecca to kill those who would not convert to Islam.
Muslim clerics have been calling for the deaths of innocents in the name of Allah ever since. Just today, IsraelNationalNews.com reported on the latest sermons by prominent Islamic clerics. Sheik Himam Sa'id, tbe Supreme Guide (cleric) of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, called on Palestinian Authority Arabs to formally start a third intifada and carry out suicide bombing attacks to "slaughter the Jews" in Israel. Husan Abdallah, a representative of the Lebanese Association of Islamic Scholars, urged the faithful to "Let pure bodies (suicide bombers) blow up again in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and in all the cities of occupied Palestine (Israel)," adding that they "will be martyrs for the sake of Allah."
Medved's column emphasized that Islam is a religion of hate. The Palestinian-Americans who protested in San Francisco, in Columbus, Ohio and in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida against Israel's attack on Gaza clearly demonstrated that Islam is a religion of hate by calling for the slaughter of Jews and by extolling the Holocaust. Muslim hatred of Jews, and of Christians as well, has existed since Muhammad's time and that time was some 1,300 years before the birth of Israel.
I am convinced that President Obama knowingly included inaccuracies in his prayer breakfast speech as his way of sucking up to the Muslim World. But history tells us the truth. With all that despicable Muslim hatred, it's no wonder why columnist Burt Prelutsky would say that, instead of two, there are now three certaintees - death, taxes and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
