Obama In French Interview: “United States is One of the Largest Muslim Countries”
This is a french interview. If you can speak French you can watch it.
I think the MSM will show it soon in the US Channel.
You’ll find the videos through the Figaro link.
For a U.S. translation (but from the White House itself) go to this link.
The Panderer in Chief is at it again and this time pandering yet again to the Muslim world while in France. Obama made sure he didn’t say in Turkey that the United States is not a Christian nation built upon Judea-Christian tenants because it might offend the Muslims, but of course he could care less about America when overseas and actually exclaim that it’s ok to say the United States is one of the largest Muslim countries!?
Here is the breakdown of religions in the United States by percentage:
Christian: (78.4%)
Protestant (51.3%)
Roman Catholic (23.9%)
LDS (1.7%)
Jehovah’s Witness (0.7%)
Orthodox (0.6%)
other Christian (0.3%)
no religion (16.1%)
Jewish (1.7%)
Buddhist (0.7%)
Muslim (0.6%)
Hindu (0.4%)
other (1.2%)
In 2007 wikipedia ranked the US 39th in the world for Muslim population – is this wishful thinking on Obama’s part? Let’s see the numbers of some of the most heavily populated Muslim countries:
Saudi Arabia: 27,601,038
Yemen: 23,013,376
Iran: 70,472,846
Egypt: 76M
This portion of the interview takes place at the 3:35 minute mark +/-
Here is the French:
“D’ailleurs, si l’on compte le nombre d’Américains musulmans, on voit que les Etats-Unis sont l’un des plus grands pays musulmans de la planète», …
Avant d’ajouter : «Ce que j’essaye de faire, c’est de créer un meilleur dialogue pour que le monde musulman puisse mieux comprendre comment les Etats-Unis, mais plus généralement le monde occidental, conçoivent certains problèmes difficiles, tels que le terrorisme ou la démocratie».
“the United States and the western world must learn with better understanding, Islam. Elsewhere, if the number is counted; Moslem Americans, it is seen that the United States is one of the largest Moslem countries of planet,” dares in an interview with Canal, the first granted, Obama added “What I try to make, is to create a better dialogue so that the Muslim world can better include/understand how the United States, but more generally the western world, conceives certain difficult problems, such as terrorism or democracy”.
So terrorism and democracy are comparable when it comes to how problematic they are? Democracy & Terrorism – let’s think about that one for a minute here folks!
It’s incredible to me that after doing all this research on my own (and I know others who did the same before the election) people are now surprised that they are finding out that Obama had Muslim influences on his life growing up – some of those who voted for him are only just realizing this today? He already gave a personal commitment speech to Muslims earlier and that didn’t raise ring any alarms? just unbelievable to me – I am speechless!
You are going to tell me that everyone was so drunk on the kool-aid that they forgot this slip up with Stephanopolous last year?
In the interview with Stephanopolous, the President (then candidate) was referring to the accusations, coming from the RNC, that he was really a Muslim (even though at the same time he was being hammered for his relationship with his pastor’s personal opinions (which I, too, found most offensive). He was stating that he believed that Senator McCain had no part of it – no slip-up (watch the entire interview)> As for Iran’s nuclear ambitions, they acquired their most of their nuclear technology from France and Germany – our so-called allies just out to make a buck -sales of which began under the presidency of Bush 1 & continued through Clinton & Bush 2 – and we did nothing to stop our NATO “allies.” Our so-called partner in the War on Terror Pakistan sold and traded nuclear technology to North Korea in exchange for their missile technology so they could combine the two & threaten their enemy India – again, this began under Bush 1, through Clinton, and was finalized before Sept. 11th. Again, America did nothing while one of our “friends” screwed us just to make a buck. It’s long past time we hold our allies accountable when their greed endangers the world & counters American policy. Maybe we can ask them to pay us back all we gave them under the Marshall Plan, maybe remind them to visit the graves of Americans on their soil who died for their freedom.
I did watch the full interview with the context around his comment and I know that it was in regard to the RNC using that (which was true – he has Muslim roots) and his slip-up was in fact just that – a slip up and a big one (there was nothing sarcastic or however you want to spin it, about it). The fact that Stepanopolous had to correct him and help him out in that clip is very telling. I don’t care if you are Muslim or grew up that way or not – but I have a really big problem if you try to hide something – that is always very suspicious to me. Obama had Muslim roots and lived in Indonesia as a child and traveled around Pakistan in the 80’s. You had to be of Muslim decent during that time… I find it incredibly disturbing, not to mention, disgusting – that none of this was investigated by the media – nobody vetted him as a candidate and he is now kowtowing to the Muslim world! Should we also not be weary that he was the candidate of Wall Street as well as the candidate who is in the pockets of Soros and other big hedge fund guys/socialists? Why is it ok for Iran to have nuclear energy and not the United States (per his speech in the UK yesterday)? Every single politician is a scam artist and Obama is the biggest one I have seen yet – I was not a Bush or Clinton fan and quite frankly I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. I finally saw a candidate who I really liked and felt was of the people and not about MONEY or POWER but heaven forbid we have somebody that could actually reform the corruption – and she was demonized and damaged by the press (who is also in the pockets of politicians) – our government has become the most corrupt sham EVER and I’m sick and tired of all of them.
weary = wary
