How Obama Regards Christianity and Islam

[lostinblue 1,989]

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Yup

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Kind of, at the end, sounds like he is referring to the good Christian Republican who just today asked his fellow zealots to pray for his (Obamas) swift death.

Nothing in the video clip that Obama said was incorrect.

Nothing in the video clip that Obama said was incorrect.

exactly. imo, these fellas are hellbent on an american war against islam. further, the statements obama made about slavery/christianity are statements anyone attending a basic american literature class, or any class where 'uncle tom's cabin' was studied, would be accustomed with. he's not bashing christianity.

[lostinblue 1,989]

The Southern Poverty Law Center had been telling us for years that conservative Christians were the big threat to gay Americans. Now the nation knows better. And while Obama won’t identify the enemy, his one-time political allies in the homosexual community are beginning to take note

clearly you're not going to take anything the splc says seriously, considering you just outed yourself as a white supremacist supporter and the nation knows how the splc feels about the white supremacist movement.

YouTube has taken it down but a Good Christian Pastor in California posted his sermon regarding the righteousness of the killings in Florida. His position being that being homosexual is a death penalty offense to Good Christians and that because of that there was no reason to have any sympathy for the victims. 2016. Christian hate speech.

That it is. Glad it's not a world wide infection that touches every corner of world and costs many many lives everyday like Radical Islam.

You would have to be knocked in the head to think a handful of hate spewing Christians that are despised here and monitored by our government is anything approaching the threat to world security Radical Islam islam is. It's like comparing a fire cracker to an 1000 lb bomb because they both go boom.

Radical Islam islam is definitely a destructive threat wherever it rears its ugly head.

I wish you would try putting your head around the concept that their actions have killed far more Muslims than anyone else worldwide. And comparing the 55 terrorist deaths (49 of which may turn out to be simply the act of a self-loathing Muslim homosexual) to be your proverbial 1000 pound bomb to the 6,046 run of the mill gun deaths since January 1st 2016 which you claim is really just a lack of gun knowledge issue thus just a proverbial firecracker is really quite silly.

The narrative is clear, there is no way Obama could be a Christian, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing on so many areas

American - nope no genuine birth certificate, I still don't believe. It

Christian - nope indoctrinated in Malaysia at a very young age as a muslim

Commander in Chief - nope refuses to use the phrase radical Islamist

Good husband and father- nope look at the arms on his wife, she is obviously masculine and there us something weird there

Smart enough to be president? - nope, no one has seen his Harvard transcripts

Any day now the truth will come out that the last 7 years have been a scam and a sham and the rest if you should have listened to us

For the Obama administration "Islamophobia" is worse than a large pile of corpses in San Bernardino, Orlando, Paris, Brussels or Baghdad.
