No, Obama is not a muslim
campbell
It is very interesting who Senator Barack Obama and the Democratic National
Committee chose to preside over and lead the opening interfaith prayer on
Sunday in Denver, CO.
According to Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., "On Sunday, Democratic delegates
convening in Denver were prayed over by representatives of various faiths.
One stood out: Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North
America. With this choice, Barak Obama's campaign has committed a strategic
error of the first order.
After all, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has been identified
by the Department of Justice not only as a front for the Muslim
Brotherhood - a global Islamist movement with the stated mission in America
of "destroying Western civilization from within." Worse yet, it has also
been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the United States' largest
alleged terrorism financing conspiracy."So who is Ingrid Mattson? The
following article and research on Ingrid Mattson is provided by the Center
for Security Policy.
1) Mattson places loyalty to Islam before loyalty to the United States of
America:
"If Muslim Americans are to participate in such a critique of American
policy, however, they will only be effective if they do it, according to the
Prophet's words, in a "brotherly" fashion. This implies a high degree of
loyalty and affection. This does not mean, however, that citizenship and
religious community are identical commitments, nor that they demand the same
kind of loyalty. People of faith have a certain kind of solidarity with
others of their faith community that transcends the basic rights and duties
of citizenship. "
2) Mattson on Americans defining themselves as an ethical nation:
"The first duty of Muslims in America, therefore, is to help shape American
policies so they are in harmony with the essential values of this country.
In the realm of foreign policy, this "idealistic" view has been out of
fashion for some time. Indeed, the American Constitution, like foundational
religious texts, can be read in many different ways. The true values of
America are those which we decide to embrace as our own. There is no
guarantee, therefore, that Americans will rise to the challenge of defining
themselves as an ethical nation; nevertheless, given the success of domestic
struggles for human dignity and rights in the twentieth century, we can be
hopeful."
3) Mattson denies the existence of terrorist cells in the United States:
"There's a prejudgment, a collective judgment of Muslims, and a suspicion
that well "you may appear nice, but we know there are sleeper cells of
Americans," which of course is not true. There aren't any sleeper cells."

Keep in mind that this is a Bush admin DoJ. Just because something
has been "identified" by them doesn't mean there's not purely
political motivation behind it.

Wasn't it interesting how the U.S. attorney (a DoJ employee) in Denver
said that the men caught with weapons, wigs, radios, bulletproof vests
and admitted they planned to assassinate Obama were no threat to
Obama?
Patriot Games
Yes he is.

And wasn't it also interesting how many U.S. attorneys were fired for
purely political reasons during Bush's tenure?
