Radical Muslims for Obama
With its similarity to popular online sites such as Facebook and MySpace and its links to a network of grassroots blogs, Barack Obama’s campaign website has been hailed as a testament to the candidate’s transformative politics. But at least part of the senator’s online outreach, “Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer and has denounced Obama’s colleagues in the U.S. Senate who happen to be Jewish. This segment of Obama’s online outreach also has ties to unindicted co-conspirators in terror trials and has recruited Obama supporters from among the ranks of fundamentalist Muslim extremists.

The more I learn about Obama’s radical political and church affiliations, the more I’m CONVINCED America will face serious consequences should Obama be elected president.
Obama is a charlatan. He claims to unite people across race lines, yet most every association he is affiliated with PROMOTES extremism and racism.
He is a member of the Trinity Church of Christ, “headed by a former Black Muslim (Jeremiah Wright) who is a harsh anti-Israel advocate.” From their website, the church’s core mission is a “non-negotiable commitment to Africa, and seeing the world through an African perspective.” **This mission apparently lacks any reference to the U.S., God or Jesus.
Blogger Ed Laskey quotes Wright as saying, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now,” and routinely compares Israel to apartheid South Africa and considers blacks “The Chosen People”. Just last December, Wright gave extremist Louis Farrakhan the church’s Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer Award. **Farrakhan is known for calling Judaism a “gutter religion” and depicting Jews as “white devils,” “bloodsuckers”.
Wright also once traveled with Farrkhan to Tripoli to visit Col. Muammar al-Gaddafi, a known terror supporter.
George Soros, multibillionaire promoter of groups that have been consistently harsh and biased critics of the American-Israel relationship, supports Obama. A 2004 Accuracy in Media article by Cliff Kincaid, says Soros “was convicted in France of insider trading and specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests.”
James Zogby, one of Obama’s campaign advisors, is the founder of the Arab American Institute and senior analyst with the Zogby polling firm. Discoverynetowrks.org says Zogby has “repeatedly denounced Israelis and Jewish-Americans, while voicing support for a string of violent terrorist groups in the Middle East and elsewhere.”
Zbigniew Brzezinski, the ex-national security adviser to Jimmy Carter, is Obama’s foreign policy adviser. Politico.com quotes Dr. Arie Kacowicz of the Hebrew University, saying that Brzezinksi has “a history of certain hostility towards Israel, as seen in the first Camp David meetings of 1978.”
According to news24.com, Obama continues to have a strong relationship with his cousin, Ralia Odinga, head of Kenya’s Orange Democratic Movement who recently ran for President of Kenya.
And midnightsun.org says when Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi. The site also says Obama’s bias for Odinga was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s “stooge.” **Note - when Raila Odinga lost the presidential election at the end of December 2007, he claimed the vote was rigged and his tribal followers went on murderous rampages. Dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire on New Years Day.
If Obama’s ties to extremist groups isn’t a WAKE UP call for Americans, I don’t know what is.
