How come Obama is so supportive of Muslims yet he is not equally supportive of Christians?

Question

In
1952
President Truman
established one day a year as a
"National Day of Prayer."

In
1988
President Reagan
designated the
First Thursday in May of each year as
the National Day of Prayer.


In June
2007
(then)
Presidential
Candidate Barack Obama
declared that the USA
"Was no longer a
Christian nation."

This year
President Obama
canceled the
21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremony
at the White
House under the ruse
Of "not wanting to offend anyone"



BUT... on September 25, 2009
from 4 AM until 7 PM,
a National Day of Prayer
FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION
was Held on Capitol Hill,
Beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims
in D.C. that day.

Answer 1

He is a Muslim sympathizer in the least. If he is a Christian he has a strange way of showing it. Rev Wrights radical church may claim it is a Christian church but it is based on Black Liberation Theology. BLT adheres to change through social action not change through a spiritual experience. This does not line up with Biblical Christianity. Only God truly knows a man's heart but Obama's actions don't seem to fit his words.



Obama did not participate in the National Day of Prayer like previous Presidents yet he has participated in Muslim religious ceremonies. That seems pretty strange to the average American. He claims that this country is not a Christian nation when it was in fact founded on Christian principles by those who left Europe so they had religious freedom.

Answer 2

False as always



"Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation – at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers. "



JUST a Christian nation....

"The truth: President Obama has not, in fact, canceled the National Day of Prayer. Per a 1988 Act of Congress setting the observance on the first Thursday of every May, the U.S. National Day of Prayer will take place as usual on May 6, 2010.

The event took place as scheduled last year as well, though newly-elected President Obama broke with George W. Bush's practice of holding a White House ceremony on the occasion. Neither Obama nor any other White House entity stated that it was canceled so as "not to offend anybody."



You can't believe those chain emails...

The Islamic Day of Prayer was an independent event, whose organizers applied for and received a permit. It was in no way connected to the White House.

So many falsehoods in one post....the answer is No.

Answer 3

MADISON, Wis. - A federal judge in Wisconsin says the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb issued the ruling Thursday in a lawsuit filed by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Here is a link to the suit filed listing Obama's administration as a defendant. The original suit was filed in 2008 against the Bush administration.

Here is the http://ffrf.org/uploads/legal/SummaryJudgementGeitner.PDF It does not take effect until all appeals are exhausting.

Here is the proclamation Obama issued in 2009 http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/presidential-proclamation-national-day-prayer

What Obama is not doing is continuing the practice of a White House ecumenical service. This was held only Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush.

Answer 4

Note: Both Truman and Reagan instituted "a Day of Prayer" not the "Christian Day of Prayer". Further, do you realize that Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It was Abraham that made the first Haj or pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was Abraham that built the Kaaba in Mecca. People say that Muslims worship Allah but Allah is the Arabic word for God, not His name. The day of Prayer was not sponsored by the President but rather a group of Muslims who decided to pray outside the Capitol building for the soul of America. Don't Christians do this all the time? Stop stirring up hate in such a passive aggressive manner. We're all Americans and have the right to peacefully assemble as did these people.... it's the first amendment in action. We have a great nation.



"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".

Answer 5

Religion should have no place in politics. I could care less about national prayer days for either religion. I don't care if Obama is Christian or Muslim, but the "right" keep putting out lies and will stop at nothing in attempts to slander the POTUS and to try to make the weak fearful of him because of his name and color. The GOP is really scary right now, and the teabaggers must be stopped before any of them end up in an actual place of power in the government. Come November, I sincerely hope that the fear tactics don't work.

Answer 6

His predecessor went into a racist / religious crusade with Muslims. We call these figures (like obama) apologists in history classes. They have played important rolls in the survival of empires in the past.

Answer 7

So because of fact of 9/11 it relatively is appropriate to demonize american muslims? Is that your rational? So because of fact White human beings did no longer enable blacks equivalent rights till 1964, is it ok for Black human beings to hate white human beings?

Answer 8

A very good question, especially since the White House claims that Obama is a Christian because "he prays every day."

Answer 9

And Christians can do the same thing the Muslims did.

Answer 10

Obama was watching Quigley Down Under on the HBO again and was under the mistaken assumption that Mr. Tom Selleck was a Muslim. He was mistaken. Mr. Selleck isn't a Muslim. Mr. Selleck has a moustache.

Answer 11

Three guesses.. and they are all HE IS A MUSLIM.. HE IS A MUSLIM.. HE IS A MUSLIM!



I don't really care how many come to his defense and how many times the puky CNN whines and cries about it. I would be money he is Muslim.. and the thing is, all he has to do is say so.. we have freedom of religion in this country, no one would care... but the more he lies about it.. the worse it gets.



And none of it is as bad as the fact that he very likely isn't American.. now THAT bothers me.. his religion , not so much!

Answer 12

Because one of Obama's goals is to reverse the image the Bush administration created of the United States being anti-Muslim.

Answer 13

Sounds rough.

Answer 14

In my heart I think Obama is not a Christian and hates anything to do with the Christian faith

even though he went to a Christian Church you don't see any of his family participating in any Christian

rituals...but when it comes to the Muslim cause~ Obama is for this religion 100%

Answer 15

Because Christianity is fake and Islam is real Simples!

Answer 16

he is trying to change everything in the US because he thinks that it isnt a "white" country anymore and that other races should have a turn at power

Answer 17

Why don't "Conservatives" believe in the US Constitution?



It states that there shall be freedom of religion in the US.



Now, please "Conservatives", don't whine to me that YOU don't oppose it!

99.9% of the protestors and protests are "Conservatives"!

Answer 18

Its not trendy.

Answer 19

Please try to get back your gray matter from Fox....
