How many Muslims to change a country?
Recently an interesting piece made its rounds around the Internet. It stated that Barack Hussein Obama had dedicated the month of November to be “Muslim Appreciation Month.” Unfortunately, many were so outraged by the proclamation that they never managed to make it to the bottom that stated it was a satire. Statements of contempt were flying all over the place. But the real story is why were so many so willing to believe that the proclamation was true?
What would a Muslim do?
Just before the last presidential election, I wrote a piece entitled “What would a Muslim do?” I think some of the comparisons are worth reconsideration. They are listed below:
| SITUATION | WHAT WOULD A MUSLIM IN A HIGH RANKING POSITION DO? | WHAT DID BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA DO? | WHAT WOULD A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN PRESIDENT D0? |
| A militant Army major, yelling Allah Akbar, killed 13 people ,one baby in the stage of gestation, and shot many others being processed for military deployment. | Try to marginalize it. | Called it “workplace violence”. | Condemn it unequivocally and be sure that the terrorist is brought to a speedy and just trial. They would also do their best to be sure the chain of events leading to the atrocity would never happen again. |
| Visiting Middle Eastern countries and meeting their political leaders, such as their kings or sheikhs. | Bow when meeting a Shaw in one of these countries.Apologize for “The Great Satan” as the US is known in these countries. | Bowed when he met the Shaw of Saudi Arabia.Apologized for America every chance possible, earning one of his early tours the name: “The Great Apology Tour.” | Nod their head as an acknowledgment and shake their hand if it was extended to them.Defend America and recognize her goodness. |
| The National Day of Prayer is held and the Muslim holy day of Ramadan takes place. | Not observe the National Day of Prayer and observe Ramadan. | Did not observe the National Day of Prayer and did observe Ramadan. | Observe the National Day of Prayer, regardless of their individual religion, and possibly acknowledge Ramadan. |
| The opportunity arises to write a major political party platform. | Be sure any reference to the Judeo/Christian God is kept out of the platform and be sure Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is not referenced.Do their best to marginalize the Constitution. | Tried to keep all references to the Judeo/Christian God out of the platform and tried to keep references to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital out of the platform.Does his best to nullify liberty in favor of unconstitutional expanding of government rule. | Do their best to acknowledge the Creator (or the Judeo/Christian God) as the giver of our rights, as well as remain a friend to Israel and acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.Do their best to keep government limited and preserve our liberties and Constitutional Rule. |
| Uprisings and revolutions occur in Muslim countries. | Support the uprisings that are organized by the Muslim Brotherhood. | Has supported the uprisings that “coincidentally” have been organized by the Muslim Brotherhood, but not those in Iran that sought to depose their Muslim leader. | Would be careful not to support uprisings being organized by the Muslim Brotherhood and would support others that are fighting for liberty from cruel dictatorships. |
| The country is dependent on Muslim countries for energy supplies. | Would be sure oil drilling and refineries that compete with the Muslims are closed. | Closed oil drilling and refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. | Would do all they could to encourage domestic production of oil and gas. |
| A neighboring nation offers to build a pipeline to deliver oil to American Refineries and sell to the American people. | Would veto the proposal. | Vetoed the Canadian pipeline proposal. | Would gratefully accept the proposal and encourage the project to begin ASAP. |
| An independent American exercises their right to free speech and makes a movie denouncing the Muslim Prophet Mohammed. | Renounce the film publicly and apologize to the Muslims for it. | Renounced the film publicly and apologized to the Muslims for it. | Recognize the filmmaker’s right to free speech and not say anything one way or another. |
| The opportunity arises as a result of one’s position to appoint influential staff members and political leaders. | Appoint the most radical extremists possible and those who are known to abhor much of the American way of life – preferring those who are sympathetic to Muslims. | Appointed the most radical extremists possible who were known to abhor much of the American way of life, and preferred those who were sympathetic to Muslims. | Appoint the most competent American patriots possible, being sure to vett them completely and thoroughly before placing them in a position of power. |
Suspect Cabinet appointments

Whether or not the man now occupying the White House is a Muslim can be argued, even after he spent 20 years worshipping in a church that honored Luis Farrakhan, and appointed an Attorney General that defended Muslim extremists. However, there is more to the story. Numerous news agencies, including the Huffington Post and World Net Daily (organizations that can barely agree on the color of the sky) have listed six cabinet appointments that are Muslim activists. They are:
- Arif Alikhan – Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is also founder of the World Islamic Organization
- Mohammed Elibiary – a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, U.S. special envoy to the Organization of Islamic conference, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and had endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb – although he now denies it.
- Rashad Hussain – Special Envoy to the (OIC) Organization of the Islamic Conference.
- Salam al-Marayati – Obama Adviser, founder of Muslim Public Affairs Council and its current executive director.
- Imam Mohamed Magid – Obama’s Sharia Czar, Islamic Society of North America.
- Eboo Patel – Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.
Additionally, The Obama File reported:
…in October of 2009, Barack Obama’s advisor on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, went on Islamic television with members of the radical Islamic group Hizb ut Tahrir and defended their blatant call for the overthrow of all “man-made law” — which includes the United States Constitution — and the adoption of Islamic Sharia law as “the source of legislation.
Also, The New American reported: “President Obama’s half-brother, Malik Obama may be added to Egypt’s terror watch list as a result of his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Malik also serves as the executive secretary of the Dawa Organization, a group created by the government of Sudan, considered by the United States State Department to be a terrorist state. According to, Malik also served as the best man at Barack Obama’s wedding to Michelle in 1992.
Malik is currently being investigated by the Egyptian government for possible terrorist connections because of his role in the Islamic Dawa Organization (IDO), as well as IDO’s umbrella organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. The IDO’s mission is to spread Wahhabist Islam across Africa.
So, how many Muslims would it take to change a country? How about one President, one Attorney General, a former Chief of Staff, six cabinet members, advisers too numerous to list comprehensively, a brother, a preacher and only God knows how many more.
