Is Trump Morally Obligated To Defend Obama? Should There Be A Muslim In The White House?
So the chattering class of the mainstream media—and make no mistake about it, that includes Fox News Channel—thinks that it is somehow déclassé to either suggest or not “correct” someone who suggests that we have a problem with Islam here in the United States, and that that problem could be the clown in the White House.
Last week, at a campaign event, a guy asked Donald Trump:
“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American, We have training camps growing when they want to kill us. My question: When can we get rid of them?”
Trump gave a general answer and moved on.
Ben Carson, responding to a question on Meet the Press said:
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”
The chatterers went magpie wild. Batguana crazy.
But let’s look at the issue. Do we have freedom of religion in this country? Of course we do.
What differentiates a belief in Islam from most other religions?
The Quran:
Quran (2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing…but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)” (Translation is from the Noble Quran)
Now it is easy to say that Muslims no longer believe that. That it is a “perversion” of their religion.
It is obvious from world events, however, that many Muslims do see verses such as that as God’s law; and, on that basis, it is very difficult to know the difference between “good, peaceful” Muslims and jihadists.
Is Barack Obama a Muslim? Maybe, maybe not. But when the time comes to stand with the ally which we helped to create in 1947, Israel, he has done everything possible to follow the radical Islam line and pee all over the Israelis.
I don’t have a problem elaborating on Carson’s statement. We don’t need a President who will make decisions on affairs of state from the viewpoint of the Quran. Any more than we need a President who will take orders from the Pope, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Southern Baptist Convention, the President of the LDS Church or the ghosts of Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts.
Now all of the aforementioned religious figures and organizations occasionally weigh in with their opinions (including the ghosts of Falwell and Roberts who left us Universities in their wisdom), but none of them advocate violence—especially against non-believers.
Apparently, within the chattering class, there is a list of things a politician cannot say, and the first thing on the list is talking about the list.
So these nimrods went nuts when Trump said that he is not morally obligated to defend Barack Obama and Carson said he would not be comfortable with a Muslim in the White House.
Fortunately, it appears that those same nimrods are no longer able to tell the voters what to think with any moral authority. Most Americans no longer take their knowledge from the Holy Trinity of the New York Times, CBS News and NBC News. And their lesser acolytes at Fox, ABC and CNN.
And I’m guessing that in their heart of hearts, a majority of American voters agree with Trump and Carson.
