In a now widely noted Tablet article, David Garrow pointed out Obama’s fantasies of sexual perversion with men. To that, AT’s Jack Cashill added the dishonesty in Obama’s autobiography regarding the question of his birth and his claim to being the author of his first book. What’s also missing from Obama biographies is his identification with Islam. Obama is, after all, the bearer of two Arabic names, with the second that of the Prophet Muhammed’s grandson.

In fact, Obama was not president more the ten minutes when he did a most common Islamic thing; during his first inaugural address, he slapped the Jews in the face but did it so subtly that few noticed.

When he was reprising the proud American cliché about being a nation of all religions and ethnicities, Obama did not use the common and accurate couplet “Judeo-Christian” to describe American culture. The first Americans were heavily “Old Testament” Christians whose social models were drawn from the Jewish Bible. One estimate is that a third of the laws in the Thirteen Colonies were directly lifted from it. During the Revolution, when the Continental Congress asked Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and John Adams to design a seal for the new republic, one idea was a bas relief of Moses leading the Children of Israel to freedom.

Traditionally as well, in American communities with a Jewish presence, shopkeepers will decorate their display windows on one side with “Merry Christmas” and on the other “Happy Chanukah.”

But Obama said something very different: “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers…”

He effectively dispossessed the Jews from being the second-most important religious community in the country, demoting them to third place next to the Islamically-hated Hindus, who endured arguably the greatest massacres in history, greater than the Jewish Holocaust, at the hands of Muslims who overran the Indian subcontinent, killing an estimated 90 million of them over the centuries.

The next day, Obama’s first in the Oval Office, with the US economy a shambles after the 2008 crash, Obama didn’t first call a respected economist for advice. Instead, he called Mahmoud Abbas, partner and successor to Yasir Arafat, the most successful Jew-killer since Adolf Hitler. He also called two other Muslim state leaders and the smarmy Prime Minister of Israel and future jailbird for fraud Ehud Olmert.

Once in power, Obama ordered that government documents could no longer join the words “Islamic” and “terrorism” in the same phrase.

Three months in his presidency, Obama made his first foreign trip, not to ally Israel, but to Egypt, for a speech co-sponsored by Cairo University and Al-Azhar University, though the latter isn’t a university as people in the West know the term. For a thousand years, it was nothing but a seminary for aspiring Muslim priests. In the 1960s, Al-Azhar added a secular subject or two and started calling itself a “university,” but remains mostly a seminary and is the alma mater of many of the major Muslim terrorism-preaching clerics of the last century. Obama’s audience that day were Muslims for whom religious piety includes the glorious martyrdom of simultaneously committing suicide and murdering Jews.

In the audience were ten members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, “various Middle Eastern news sources report[ed] that the [Obama] administration insisted that at least 10 members of the Muslim Brotherhood be present.” The Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928 in reaction to Ataturk’s “Turkish nationalism” after the fall of the Muslim Caliphate, has never recognized the legitimacy of Egypt’s secular governments, and thousands of its members have spent time in Egyptian jails. Obama  effectively bypassed the Egyptian national assembly and spoke under the auspices of the historic Muslim seminary preaching jihad.
