Report: Obama said 'I Am a Muslim'

By Pamela Geller

American Thinker: Report: Obama said 'I Am a Muslim'


"The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim."
That was the claim of Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, as reported in the May 2010 issue of Israel Today http://www.israeltoday.co.il/Portals/0/May2010.pdf . According to journalist Avi Lipkin, Gheit appeared on Nile TV's "Round Table Show" in January, on which he said that "he had had a one-on-one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda."


Obama allegedly said this in the context of reassuring Gheit that he would soon deal with Israel:

He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare) [sic], that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.


Could this be true? Even if Gheit's claim isn't true, or was misreported, every country in the free world must be cognizant of the catastrophic sea change that has taken place in the leadership of the free world -- as witnessed by events over the past year. Barack Obama took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet whether he is a Muslim or not, he has undeniably gone around the world promoting Islam and Sharia (Islamic law).


And now, if what Gheit says is true, we know why.


The alleged exchange between Obama and Gheit would almost certainly have happened in early January 2010, when Gheit was in Washington, D.C. regarding "Mideast peace talks."


On Thursday, January 7, 2010, the Associated Press reported that "Clinton and Mitchell [were] scheduled to meet" with Gheit on Friday, January 8, 2010: see ABC news here US Readies New Mideast Peace Push - ABC News .



On Friday, January 8, 2010, Hillary Clinton and Gheit spoke with each other. The U.S. Department of State has provided video before the meeting: see the Department of State here Remarks With Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Ali Aboul Gheit Before Their Meeting .


On Saturday, January 9, 2010, NPR spoke with Gheit about his visit: see NPR.org Egypt's Role In Renewed Israeli-Palestinian Talks : NPR .


This is a devastating claim, and yet no media outlet is covering it. Remember, during Obama's campaign, I and others were excoriated for using his middle name. We were accused of implying he was a crypto-Muslim. We could not discuss his background, his Islamic schooling, his ties to Islam. However, I have meticulously documented his Muslim background in my soon-to-be-released book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.


It became all too clear after his election how proud Obama was of his Muslim name, background, and family. He made this plain when he gave his very first interview to Muslim media and boasted of these things. He suddenly became proud of the very things that were verboten to speak of during the campaign. That was the level of deceit and obfuscation.


If Gheit's reported claim is true, then Obama is a baldfaced liar. But why? Why lie if you have nothing to hide?


Of course, if Obama believes himself a Muslim, then his prior behavior constituted taqiya -- deception or lies to advance Islam. This he performed brilliantly during his election: He lied with brazen contempt. And now his Islamic Jew-hatred is made painfully clear in his stunning rebuke of Israel. In Israel Today, political analyst Aviel Schneider exposes some of the further implications of Gheit's claim:

That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term "Islamic extremism" no longer be used in official government documents and statements. Furthermore, the US is now accusing Israel of harming American interests in the Middle East. General David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said Israel's intransigence on resolving the conflict with the Palestinians is endangering US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the US Congress considers Obama's behavior toward Netanyahu humiliating. Three-quarters of the House of Representatives, 337 of 435 members, signed a bipartisan letter to Clinton expressing "deep concern over recent tension" between the two countries, and demanding that it be smoothed over quickly and in private.


"Obama is a real problem for Israel," a senior official told told Yediot. "He is Israel's biggest strategic catastrophe." The newspaper also quoted another official who believes that for the first time Washington has switched sides. "The Obama White House is putting pressure only on Israel but does not expect anything from the Palestinians," he said. "These American demands are unacceptable."


Is it any wonder that Obama's counterterror adviser speaks Arabic, calls Jerusalem "Al-Quds," and calls jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam"?


We know that Gheit met with Obama in April 2010 in D.C. -- check out White House.gov World Leaders and Heads of Delegation Attending the Nuclear Security Summit | The White House , which lists Gheit as one of the attendees of a "Nuclear Security Summit" at that time. And they met more than once. Gheit had a private meeting with Obama in May 2009 http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-200468483.html .


Worse yet, Gheit just last month called Israel "the enemy." This after Israel gave them the Sinai (which Israel had won in a defensive war and defended through another one) with all its oil in return for "peace."


How plausible is Gheit's reported claim about Obama? Let's review Obama's track record:



And earlier this week, Obama became the first president to host a press conference with the American flag nowhere in sight. Obama: First U.S. President to hold Press Conference without the American Flags Present.

Ouch. What a disgrace.


Now: will the lapdog media make Obama address Gheit's claim?


The American people deserve answers. But whether or not what Gheit reportedly says is true, Obama's pro-jihad track record is clear.

"Could this be true? Even if Gheit's claim isn't true, or was misreported..."

Cracker Jack reporting, that one is.

This is soooo yawn it's beyond boring. Anyone who says Obama is a Muslim doesn't have the first clue what a Muslim is. I'm serious.

Obama may or may not be a Muslim. What's equally important and more absolute than his Muslimness (sic) is that he is not a Christian. Between the two I'd say there's a tilt toward the Muslim side by a small amount but it's his absence of Christianity that's an equally serious problem.

So? The closest thing we've had to practicing Christians in the Whitehouse in recent times are Jimmy Carter and George Bush. Bill Clinton often read the Bible for guidance. How'd that work out? Whether or not the President is a Christian or a Muslim or even a member of the B'hai faith doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Heck, Reagan consulted a psychic!

Obama is a politician, which means he's a professional liar. He's whatever religion that suits him best at the time. A lot of people are like that.

A couple of weeks ago a group of three young ladies walked across the front yard up to where I was sitting on the front porch of the house. They were there to tell me about Jesus Christ and were from the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints. When they asked me if I believed in Jesus, I said, "I"m Jewish."

End of conversation. :D

Granted, Barack Hussein Obama appears to be on par with Bill Clinton as a prevaricator par excellance. But that's not to say he doesn't have core beliefs, such as his radically liberal political and social philosophies. Regarding religion, IMHO he really does believe in a Supreme Being - himself. However I also think he's a muslim sympathizer and has a bias toward that religion and the countries it dominates. Of course the conspiracy theorists would say that he's really a muslim at the core, but for obvious reasons has remained in the closet for his entire political career to facilitate his electability in the US. If or when the Israelis inflict a military strike on Iran or get into a shooting war with the Palestinians we're more apt to get a glimpse of his true colors. So far, his attitude toward the Jews has made it obvious he's not doing them any favors, and that seems to hold true for most of our other non-muslim allies as well.
