Report: Obama said 'I Am a Muslim'
"The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim."
That was the claim of Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, as reported in the May 2010 issue of Israel Today. According to journalist Avi Lipkin, Gheit appeared on Nile TV's "Round Table Show" in January, on which he said that "he had had a one-on-one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda."

Obama allegedly said this in the context of reassuring Gheit that he would soon deal with Israel:
He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare) [sic], that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.
Could
this be true? Even if Gheit's claim isn't true, or was misreported,
every country in the free world must be cognizant of the catastrophic
sea change that has taken place in the leadership of the free world --
as witnessed by events over the past year. Barack Obama took an oath to
protect and defend the Constitution, and yet whether he is a Muslim or
not, he has undeniably gone around the world promoting Islam and Sharia
(Islamic law).
And now, if what Gheit says is true, we know why.
The
alleged exchange between Obama and Gheit would almost certainly have
happened in early January 2010, when Gheit was in Washington, D.C.
regarding "Mideast peace talks."
On
Thursday, January 7, 2010, the Associated Press reported that "Clinton
and Mitchell [were] scheduled to meet" with Gheit on Friday, January 8,
2010: see ABC news here.
On
Friday, January 8, 2010, Hillary Clinton and Gheit spoke with each
other. The U.S. Department of State has
provided video before the meeting: see the Department of State here.
This is a devastating claim, and yet no media outlet is covering it.
Remember, during Obama's campaign, I and others were excoriated for
using his middle name. We were accused of implying he was a
crypto-Muslim. We could not discuss his background, his Islamic
schooling, his ties to Islam. However, I have meticulously documented
his Muslim background in my soon-to-be-released book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.
It
became all too clear after his election how proud Obama was of his
Muslim name, background, and family. He made this plain when he gave his
very first interview to Muslim media and boasted of these things. He
suddenly became proud of the very things that were verboten to speak of
during the campaign. That was the level of deceit and obfuscation.
If Gheit's reported claim is true, then Obama is a baldfaced liar. But why? Why lie if you have nothing to hide?
Of course, if Obama believes himself a Muslim, then his prior behavior constituted taqiya
-- deception or lies to advance Islam. This he performed brilliantly
during his election: He lied with brazen contempt. And now his Islamic
Jew-hatred is made painfully clear in his stunning rebuke of Israel. In
Israel Today, political analyst Aviel Schneider exposes some of the
further implications of Gheit's claim:
That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term "Islamic extremism" no longer be used in official government documents and statements. Furthermore, the US is now accusing Israel of harming American interests in the Middle East. General David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said Israel's intransigence on resolving the conflict with the Palestinians is endangering US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the US Congress considers Obama's behavior toward Netanyahu humiliating. Three-quarters of the House of Representatives, 337 of 435 members, signed a bipartisan letter to Clinton expressing "deep concern over recent tension" between the two countries, and demanding that it be smoothed over quickly and in private."Obama is a real problem for Israel," a senior official told told Yediot. "He is Israel's biggest strategic catastrophe." The newspaper also quoted another official who believes that for the first time Washington has switched sides. "The Obama White House is putting pressure only on Israel but does not expect anything from the Palestinians," he said. "These American demands are unacceptable."
Is
it any wonder that Obama's counterterror adviser speaks Arabic, calls
Jerusalem "Al-Quds," and calls jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam"?
We know that Gheit met with Obama in April 2010 in D.C. -- check out White House.gov,
which lists Gheit as one of the attendees of a "Nuclear Security
Summit" at that time. And they met more than once. Gheit had a private meeting with Obama in May 2009.
Worse yet, Gheit just last month called Israel "the enemy." This after Israel
gave them the Sinai (which Israel had won in a defensive war and
defended through another one) with all its oil in return for "peace."
How plausible is Gheit's reported claim about Obama? Let's review Obama's track record:
- March 2009: Obama declares the "war on terror" is over, despite a dramatic increase in jihad war ops.
- March 2009: he floats the idea that he will talk to violent, genocidal Hamas.
- March 2009: he demands that more Muslim Americans work in the Obama administration and insists that they be recruited.

I disagree. I think Islam is safe and thriving in the lives of Muslims around the world. What the terrorists have been allowed to take over are Muslim grievances."
- April 2009: Obama lays groundwork for a partnership with Hamas.

- July 2009: Obama reaches out to the violent jihadists of Hezb'allah.

- Obama promises to close GITMO.
- Obama is rebuked when plans are revealed for CIA prosecutions for 911 interrogations: Seven Ex-chiefs of CIA Oppose Case Review: ALL Sign letter to Stop CIA Persecutions.
- In July 2009, Obama sanctions the brutal crackdown of those marching for freedom in Iran and sides with the mullahcracy. He stands silent about the Iranian regime's mass executions, mass rape, and murder.
- July 2009: Obama plans to slash the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
- September 2009: Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton on Obama at the U.N.: "This is the most radical anti-Israel speech I can recall any president making...I have to say I was very shaken by this speech."
- October 2009: Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund.

- June 2010: Obama administration to Support Anti-Israel Resolution at U.N.
And earlier this week, Obama became the first president to host a press conference with the American flag nowhere in sight.
Now: will the lapdog media make Obama address Gheit's claim?
The
American people deserve answers. But whether or not what Gheit
reportedly says is true, Obama's pro-jihad track record is clear.
