I don’t know for certain that Barrack Hussein Obama is a Muslim or not. I do know that he is not a Christian. More likely then either though is that he simply worships at the alter of Himself.

Via Mr. Steyn at The National Review Online:

The church model the young American state wished to separate from was that of the British monarch, who remains to this day supreme governor of the Church of England. This convenient arrangement dates from the 1534 Act of Supremacy. The title of the law gives you the general upshot, but, just in case you’re a bit slow on the uptake, the text proclaims “the King’s Majesty justly and rightfully is and ought to be the supreme head of the Church of England.” That’s to say, the sovereign is “the only supreme head on earth of the Church” and he shall enjoy “all honors, dignities, pre-eminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, immunities, profits, and commodities to the said dignity,” not to mention His Majesty “shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain, and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts, and enormities, whatsoever they be.”

Welcome to Obamacare.

The president of the United States has decided to go Henry VIII on the Church’s medieval ass. Whatever religious institutions might profess to believe in the matter of “women’s health,” their pre-eminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, and immunities are now subordinate to a one-and-only supreme head on earth determined to repress, redress, restrain, and amend their heresies. One wouldn’t wish to overextend the analogy: For one thing, the Catholic Church in America has been pathetically accommodating of Beltway bigwigs’ ravenous appetite for marital annulments in a way that Pope Clement VII was disinclined to be vis-à-vis the English king and Catherine of Aragon. But where’d all the pandering get them? In essence President Obama has embarked on the same usurpation of church authority as Henry VIII: As his Friday morning faux-compromise confirms, the continued existence of a “faith-based institution” depends on submission to the doctrinal supremacy of the state.

Go read the rest.

  1. I’m curious, Robbie…how can you ascertain to the certainty of knowing a person’s true spiritual beliefs? Especially one who you have never met or spoken with? Personally, I don’t care whether President Obama is a Christian or not. I disagree with his policies on fundamental grounds and ideological differences. But please share how you came to “know” that Obama is not a Christian.

    (as I re-read this, I know it sounds dickish, but that is not my intention. I am just curious because you always have data and sources to back up your claims, which is one thing I love about your posts)

  2. He’s a muslim practicing al taqiyya.

    Obama: Man of the World
    By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
    Published: March 6, 2007:

    Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

    • So I ask you the same question…how do you know he is a Muslim? How do you know his spiritual beliefs without speaking with him or knowing him?

      And I agree that the call to prayer at sunset is a beautiful sound.

        • “scroll” to what? I do not see your data showing proof that President Obama is “a muslim practicing al taqiyya.” I read the article and there was no proof in it, either. Am I missing something here?

        • Ok…so your non-response is evidence that you have no data, no proof that President Obama is a Muslim. It is just your opinion which you are entitled to. I am sure that the readers of these posts can tell the difference.

          Personally, I don’t care if he is a muslim or christian or scientologist or whatever. All of my muslim friends are beautiful, wonderful people, so it’s not like “muslim” is an insult.

        • No, his non response is indicative that he has something better to do than deal with you at the moment, asshole. And yes, muslim is an insult. Piss off!

        • Thanks, anonymous.
          Out of respect to Robbie I refuse to engage with him.

        • I’ve been friends with Robbie since he was 13 years old. He started UrbanGrounds because he cares so much about the state of our country that he cannot sit idly by. He cares too much to stay silent and not do anything about it. He gives opinions and he gives facts. And he backs those up with data and sources.

          All I did was ask to see your data, your sources. If you truly want to respect my friend Robbie, then you will fulfill my simple request: “show me the data.”

          As a libertarian, I disagree with President Obama’s domestic policies. But I love the facts, the data, the sources just as much as the people who follow UrbanGrounds. It shows respect to back your statements up with data. What hurts our cause is people who make wild accusations without the power to back them up. Fight the Good Fight, people.

  3. If you demand data and facts, just look at the present economy, the housing market, the hopelessness, the despair,the unployment figures, his explosive desire to dictate instead of lead the needs and wants of the majority, his lies and deceit, (you can most often turn around his promise in order to find his desire), the more he says he wants to help the people, the more he shows his evil designs, he makes Hitler look like a boy scout.
    It may not have much to do with Obama’s spiritual beliefs but it sure makes him out to be a world renowned piece of SHIT.
    There is no way Obama is misguided, he, in fact, has a single purpose and that purpose is to reign supreme over the people of this country.
    If anyone is keeping record, you can put me down for categorizing him as a tyrant, power grabbing, Marxist wannabe.
    He has lied, bull-shitted, deceived and otherwise used false promises to elevate himself to a traitor of the United States, and as such, he has branded himself with a bull’s-eye for all the honest world to see.
    That’s right, whether by ignorance or design, if and when you draw so much attention to yourself as being the biggest ASSWIPE in the world, you automatically become the largest target also.

    If I were a ‘secret service’ agent, I would really want to keep my distance from Obama, knowing there are so many disgruntled Democrats, not to mention unhappy union members there are also those of us that truly love this country as founded and despise the idea that someone who conceals all his school records, his birth certificate and all other vouchers of accomplishments can cheat his way to power and then systematically destroy not only the U.S. Constitution but likewise the Bill of Rights and any other inherent rights promised to us by our original proclamations guaranteed by the solvency of the United States of America.

    There is absolutely nothing about Obama that is unifying, in fact, it is completely the opposite, his only hope is to divide the lazy, non-tax paying citizens from the hard working Americans. Unfortunately, there are waaaay too many lazy non-tax paying citizens, (not to mention, illegal citizens) which only plays into the hands of the most despicable, under-handed, un-American, filching, pathetic non-American in the history of the United States of America.
    I don’t know which I hate more……Obama….. or those that have the power to stop his ursaption and fail to react.

    God help us…….please

  4. Don’t worry about Obama you are still not achieving fuel prices of $ 8,70 per gallon and marginal tax payment of 60% on top of ordinary working people’s income and in addition VAT of 25% on all goods consumed in private households.
    You don’t even know what liberal means!!!
