Obama’s More Deferential to Afghan Muslims Than American Catholics
Here is a simple question with an obvious answer: Is President Barack Obama more deferential to the religious sensibilities of Afghan Muslims or the religious freedom of American Catholics?
The answer: Obama is more deferential to the religious sensibilities of Muslims in Afghanistan than to the religious freedom of Catholics in the United States.
Let’s stipulate a point of principle out front: People should not burn Korans, period. To burn a Koran, whether as a premeditated act of spite or as a boneheaded mistake, is wrong.
That being said, the Korans burned at Bagram Air Force in Afghanistan were burned as the result of a boneheaded mistake--not as a conscious effort to affront Muslims.
Here in the United States, President Obama’s decision to order Roman Catholics to act against the teachings of their faith by forcing Catholics to buy insurance that pays for sterilizations, artificial contraceptives and abortifacients was not made by mistake. Obama did it with long and careful premeditation--fully understanding that the Catholic Church would (correctly) perceive the regulation as a very serious and direct attack on the free exercise of religion by Catholics.
We know this because from August to February, the Catholic bishops of the United States repeatedly warned the Obama administration directly and through public statements that the administration's sterilization-contraception-abortifacient mandate was an attack on the religious liberty of Catholics and that Catholics would adamantly oppose it as an attack on their religious liberty.

Yes well maybe if we Catholics and people of other faiths start beheading people and rioting every time we get offended (just like Muslims) then maybe der furher and the libs would start appologizing or appeasing us. It is funny, they (the libs) only seem to tolerate only others that are very aggressive and angry just like themselves. They preach peace, but are yet always violent. Wow, I just realized that libs act just like the wink* wink* "peaceful" Muslims!!!!
The military also burned a truckload of bibles.

Obama's Never Ending Hypocrisy
Submitted by BondPlainBond on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 3:59pm.
Interesting Obama says "it's important for western countries to avoid impeding Muslims citizens from practicing religion as they see fit and I consider it a part of my responsibility as President of the US to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear..."
But will do all in his power to impede Catholic/Christian citizens from practicing religion as they see fit and does not consider it a part of his responsibility as President of the US to fight against negative stereotypes of Christianity he, his administration, Democrats, and the media have been putting forward as a matter of practice.

Obama is defferential toward Muslims period, and probably because of his upbringing and that liberals hate Christians. I am not convinced Obama ever converted to Christianity. I am betting that the "church" Obama went to that even an athest would feel comfortable and a Muslim would not be offended,

It is not a "mistake" to burn a Koran any more than it is a mistake to burn a flag.
Stupid maybe, to destroy property, a waste I can agree, but a "mistake"? C'mon now.
Why is it a "mistake"? Because Muslims will literally riot over it? Because they will murder people over it? Now there is the mistake.There is the true injustice.
If Islam is so very tolerant, then a Muslim would look to a person who burns a Koran the same way most Americans look at people who burn American flags. - A fool and their money are soon parted.
I submit many view it as I do, that one who will burn what another holds so dear only proved, by destroying the item, that they were not worthy of owning it to begin with and furthermore that it is a good thing they no longer possess it.
I am left to wonder, where is the affront to the writing of notes in the Korans in the first place? Is it not an affront to damage it in this way? Oh wait, Taqqyia.....
What is the "proper", in the eyes of Muslims, means to destroy a Koran? Or, like a tattered flag, what is the "acceptable" way of destroying it? Oh wait, burning them, just like our flag, is EXACTLY how they are to be destroyed.
So you see, it is NOT a "mistake" to burn a Koran. Though it may well be, in the eyes of some, argued about as it pertains to HOW and WHERE the burning takes place - along with what is done with the remains. Muslims prefer that the book's remains be treated like the remains of a person passed (absent how they treat them in Falujah that is).
I am sick to death of the politically correct butt kissing that goes on regarding Islam. Almost daily we witness affronts called flag burning, effigy burning ( I even saw a Obama the black dog effigy picture a day or two ago) stepping on them and other INTENTIONAL desecration. How about calling out the hypocrisy for once? Maybe even ONCE? Bueller.....Bueller....
All that said, the rest of the article, the point made, is straight up. As it always is with Obama, treating some groups one way and other groups another way is normal. Different rules for different sets is the progressive way. Equality is not in their nature.
The death count for this
Submitted by killa37 on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 4:11pm.
The death count for this atrocious crime against the 'religion of peace' is at about 100 people so far, which is probably an equal number for your typical mosque/market bombing......................just another day in Islam-is-bad. I'm not condoning any book burning, but these thin-skinned throwbacks to the 7th century seem to always be ready for mayhem, chaos, riots, burnings, shootings, bombings, pain, suffering, misery, and death....................didn't Obama bin Laden say the Islam celebrates death??
Of course, many Christians and infidels and Jews have been maimed or killed by the practicioneers of the 'religion of peace', as well as mooooooooooooooooslems. Quick question - which religion has killed more mooooooooooooooooslems in the history of the world than any other??? And we see a never-ending parade of Bible destruction, church burnings and bombings, harrassment of other religions, and continued threats against the Jews and the EVIL USA, as well as all infidels - coming from these nice tolerant moooooooooooooooooooooslems.
But, our own mooooooooooooooooooslem-leaning steaming pile of Kenyan Kow Krap will bow, apologize, and cater to these incest-addled and DNA-damaged representatives of this GREAT religion, while at the same time doing all he can to debase and disdain and disrespect all forms of Christianity and Judaism here in our own country - which is NOT Boy Barry's country, based on how he conducts himself.

Nothing will ever convince me that the RBFSOB is Christian. I don't think he is religious in any sense, and certainly not Christian.
Obama will attack Christians, and Catholics in particular right now, because they TAKE IT! The cutthroat, rat bastard followers of Mohammy won't, so Obama and other liberal chicken Shiite plicks don't screw with them. Besides the liberals and the Mooooooooslems have the same objective; the destruction of the USA. What will be interesting is when it is accomplished and the liberals find out what it feels like to be the target of these insane ragheads.
I'm done. I want the Republican Party to nominate the meanest son of a bitch we can find to go at the RBFSOBCS with everything in the arsenal. He is an enemy of this country, and we need to fight him with that in mind.
Romney needs to wipe that Shiite eating grin off his silly face and get mad as hell if he is going to be our nominee. Otherwise, get the hell out of the way. Same is true of all the rest of the fools.
Apologize my ass.
Taqiyya
Submitted by vrwc13 on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 5:15pm.
Taqiyya (alternate spellings taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah), meaning religious dissimulation,[1] is a practice emphasized in Shi'a Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion.[2] This means a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are under those risks.[3] - wiki
On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet? "
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.

Well, DUH!! Here's why:
As outspoken as they were in declaring that the Obama administration was violating the rights of Catholics with its regulation, the Catholic bishops did not call anybody into the streets. They did not incite riots. They did not sanction or condone any kind of violence or destruction of property. They simply called for this: That Americans should use the constitutional rights we still have to peacefully address our government and ask that our right to the free exercise of our religion be respected and restored by those who have sworn an oath to God to do so.
And that's why there is no apology for trampling the rights of American Catholics, but a "severe apology" for offending the sensibilities of Muslims.
