- Zigurd 11y agoI suppose there must be some people who still find Obama-is-a-Muslim rabid warmongering neocons interesting http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/12/opinion/12luttwak.html http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/12/opinion/12luttwak.html
- crikli 11y agoHow does this article support the"Obama is a Muslim" trope? His point is that some of the Muslim world might view Obama as an apostate because of his parentage, over which he had no control, and his renunciation of Islam and conversion to Christianity, which he did. "But of all the well-meaning desires projected on Senator Obama, the hope that he would decisively improve relations with the world’s Muslims is the least realistic." He certainly had that right.
- Zigurd 11y agoAt best, he is trying to have it both ways: Saying it outright and then raising the tone a few octaves into dog-whistle range.
- srtjstjsj 11y agoEh, 7 years in, the fear that Muslim countries would strike a personal beef or pose a direct to Obama, as a result of his parentage, has not become real, as far as I have heard. And I've heard of no US domestic Muslims attempting any assassination. It seems that Muslims are not as irrationally bloodthirsty as many imagine.
