printThe following excerpt is from my new, Worldnetdaily.com column, “B. Hussein In History Wonderland”:
“Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak arrived in Washington this week to press flesh with the president. In an interview, Mubarak told PBS television that Barack Obama’s speech had shown him that ‘America is not against Islam.’ …
The address Mubarak was referring to was delivered by a grandiose Obama in Egypt’s capital, early in June. There, the president prostrated himself before the Muslim world, offering up prolix praise for the religion of peace – a tradition that his predecessor established. …
Given the veritable mirage of lies he conjured in Cairo, blaming the decadence of Arab countries on nefarious Western imperialist intervention in the 19th and 20th centuries, B. Hussein’s historical horizons vis-à-vis the Middle East could also do with some broadening.
A good start would be to stop relying on ‘Lawrence of Arabia’s’ homoerotic, ahisotric memoir for the facts.” …
The complete column is “B. Hussein In History Wonderland.”

Comrade O prefers to remain in ignorance regarding the realities of Islam and Africa because it serves his purposes, among which are to keep stoking white guilt in America, and to keep undermining western ideals upon which liberty and freedom are based. In so doing, I believe he seeks to destroy America as a nation of free people and to impose his brand of egalitarian idiocy with himself at the top. He is an idiot, but unfortunately, he is a dangerous one.
Ilana,
It would help to understand ones enemy before deciding that the remedy is always and everywhere to pretend they are your friend. But this is what we deserve when the only qualification we ask from our Presidential candidates is that they become a “uniter and not a divider”…. whatever that means.
Naturally, B. Hussein has the situation exactly backwards: The primary example of an Islamic empire in recent history, the Ottoman Empire which ended in the early 1920s, was a typical oriental despotism awash in corruption and having nothing that we might call “rights” for its subjects. When an Islamic empire conquers, those under its dominion are held back; when the conquerors leave and their religion stays, the inhabitants experience high levels of poverty and illiteracy. That is why Muslim Albania is barely out of the Stone Age compared with most of Europe.
You can learn nearly any lesson you wish from history PROVIDED YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR OWN HISTORY. The Marxists perfected the art, Orwell captured it brilliantly in his writings, the neo-cons wallow perpetually in their mythical “Munich” which justifies all American interventions into perpetuity, and the leftists believe that the Afro-Islamic world was some advanced paradise until the evil Zionistic-Imperialistic-Crusaders destroyed this Land of Eden.
It would be quite enlightening to see the statistics on such “exploitative” things as: # of women of color (Islam) forced to have sex with white-Judeo-Christian men vs. # of women of color (Islam) forced to have sex with black/Moslem men;
and similar statistics for slavery, murder, etc. Or # of Palestinian civilians murdered by Palestinians vs. # of Palestinian civilians murdered by Jews.
However, if B. Hussein’s pseudohistory will restrain our country from diving into more Islamic Quicksand (such as the “liberation of Iraq”), then there is at least a silver lining to Obama’s pseudohistory over that of Joe Lieberman, William Kristol, etc.
While Steven Hays calls Obama an idiot, keep in mind that Obama is the product of an “Ivy League education”. E.G. – he has suffered from years of mental abuse.
In general, who should be APOLOGIZING to whom??? See
Aug 21, 2009 … “British and Scottish officials joined the United States on Friday in criticizing the hero’s welcome Libya choreographed for Abdel Basset Ali …”

Myron, it’s not “mental abuse” Brainwashing, maybe (Providing that there was an original thought lurking inside that had to be eradicated) Indoctrination possibly if you discount his childhood education.
In “Hanging at the White House,” he specifically stated that he was working to see that the bomber, did not get a hero’s welcome. As your link attests, So much for “Good Intentions.” Does anyone believe that one of these days, DC is going to understand that “They just don’t like us?”
“…‘America is not against Islam.’…”
I would say many Americans are terrified of people who cannot be corrupted by Western money nor intimidated by Western weapons. I doubt they are attracted much to “post-Christian” Western culture either.
What I find ironic is that Obama kowtows before Islam and so do many other blacks, including Louis Farrakhan, when was it not the Arab Muslims who were key players in the African slave trade? And was it not the tribes of East Africa who also participated in the slave trade of those who primarily originated from tribes in West Africa, those going into slavery in the Americas. And Obama’s father was a Muslim from East Africa (Kenya).
Eric,
You have hit upon the essence of the ignorance. A failure to understand ones own culture is the biggest obstacle to understanding another culture. The contemporary culture is fearful and for good reason as Mr. Moon correctly observes,” Americans are terrified of people who cannot be corrupted by Western money nor intimidated by Western weapons.” True courage is knowing what to fear and what not to fear and money and bombs don’t seem to be scaring Moslems to the extent that box cutters, and suicide bombers scare us. This is the dilemma that countries like Israel must endure daily and it is real. Inviting different cultures to come in and take over your own is real cultural suicidal after a certain number of immigrants -legal and illegal. We passed the level years ago when we opened boarders to the South and sent our military east — The Middle East– changing what was once a country into a multicultural polyglot boarding house. “T’is all in pieces” now.
[Pearls before swine: yours are the pearls; the swine are America’s cognoscenti.]
Logistically, I do not see how anyone from Kenya would have been involved in sending a slave from Ghana or Sierra Leone to the Americas in the 16th – 18th Century.
“Given the veritable mirage of lies he conjured in Cairo, blaming the decadence of Arab countries on nefarious Western imperialist intervention in the 19th and 20th centuries, B. Hussein’s historical horizons vis-à-vis the Middle East could also do with some broadening.

While Western submission to Islam is bad enough when it’s based on material considerations, love for totalitarian ideologies or, as in Germany, on the well-founded hope that Muslims will finish what Germans were forced to stop 64 years ago, there is an additional aspect, namely that of a certain cross-cultural affinity, that is largely overlooked, probably because the mere thought is too repulsive to most sane and healthy people to be taken as something that ought to be considered.
How debased and rotten to the core is a society whose media publishes a justification of sex with children with the goal of excusing Islam of what it is?
Off topic: This specific journalistic sisterhood is currently waging a successful media war for the soul of the educated, politically correct mainstream German.
As a dyed in the wool Marxist, Obama is only interested in disseminating ideas
that support the poor man’s ideology against our bourgeoise ideological structure. Our analysis of history is due to our class interests, and hence has no objective validity. Mr. obama is not an educated man because of the influence of Marxism.
