Jimmy Kimmel answers the “Is Obama A Muslim?” question once and for all

by editor on August 28, 2010

Why must late night comedians do the job that supposedly legitimate reporters won’t do? Jimmy Kimmel’s ace staff found an old video clip that answers the questions about Obama’s religious beliefs once and for all.

Jimmy doesn’t appear to know that Rev Wright is an EX-MUSLIM.

Ex Muslim. Isn’t an EX……Muslim, supposed to be a dead Muslim? I thought I read something about that in the Koran.

The thing is, if he is not a Muslim, then he’s an apostate. I call BS on the “you give your muslim-raised child a choice when he turns of age, and you calmly accept his decision” story.

It makes no sense to allow this when the three options for meeting with non-muslims is to either convert, enslave, or kill them. I can just imagine the conversation: “Uhm, grandpa, I don’t think I wanna be a muslim anymore.” “OK, behind door number one, we have knives, and behind door number two, we have manacles. There is no door number three. Ready to reconsider?”

Judging by the lack of muslims calling for the death of one particular (and highly prominent) apostate, when they’ll riot in the streets calling for the death of any other apostate (or woman who was raped in prison, or girls wanting to go to school, or cartoonists…), I’d have to say that either pigs are flying, or more is known about him in the muslim world than in the western world to make him acceptable, and muslim or not, every damn thing he does is suspicious. You be the judge of what that might be.

Yep, in the 1950′s, we worried about the Manchurian Candidate, and now we have to worry about the Kenyan Candidate.

Do you believe yourself?

That is some far fetched fatwa formulation there bud.

For one Obama’s not a Muslim cause he said he’s not; maybe he’ll be one in the future, but part of being one submitted to God is the Eemaan bil Qawl, the belief with the speach, you can’t say your Christian if you’re Muslim.

The extremist attitude you put out there regarding a Muslim meeting a non-Muslim reminds me of the visitor to Europe driving on the right side of the road. Just because you read a book before doesn’t make you a scholar of Revelation. You can’t put statements from the Quran into whatever perspective you want to in order to prove whatever you want. That is no different, by Allaah, than the so-called scholars that lead the Taliban and Al Qaida toward hell.

When someone apostates and they live under a Muslim ruler, they must be brought before a Qadi or judge who makes sure they know the Law from their Lord, learns the context of their departure, and judges according to way more than what I can tell you cause I’m not a Qadi.

Kids don’t get killed for being non-Muslim.

Getting culture and geo-political events and atrocities confused with sharee’ah is a deception of Satan. Men are ruining themselves and their families bu letting their prejudices and other people’s messed up beliefs block them from the belief in their Lord, Allaah.
=
I love the good of the people in this country, I’m one of them.
This is a life of opportunity to strive to please our Lord, we only have one lifetime here, we have to get it right.
The Quran and the Prophet Muhammad showed up at exactly the interval and in the exact context prophesied in the Torah and the Gospel. Even in the Psalm David spoke about praying 7 times in a day and glorifying his Lord in the mornings and in the evenings. Jesus is said in the Gospels to have prostrated his face to God in the Gardens of Gethsemane and submit to Him asking Allaah to take this cup from him, not by his will but by His Will. Moses and Isaiah both spoke of the exact circumstances of the coming of Muhammad (Sal Allaahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) and the exact context and the exact words of the beginning of the Revelations of the Quran “And he shall be told “READ”, “And he shall not speak from his own desire”, “He shall speak My Words in My Name”.

PROOFS, people. Evidence.

Don’t go on in this short life and end up losing and suffering forever and taking your wife and kids with you based on a whim. GET PROOF!

I’m not playing. I’m not kidding. I care about my brother man (and sister woman) and I don’t want you to go to Hell, it doesn’t stop, and it hurts bad.

May Allaah guide you all.

Well, first off, when I drive in Europe on the right hand side, I’d be just fine as long as I’m not in the UK.

As to your statements, simply put, I don’t believe them.

I do not believe what people say. I believe what people do.

American muslims are silent.

Silent when Christian dentists are slaughtered in Afghanistan for their belief. What was their crime? Fixing the teeth of the impoverished offends Allah? How about those doctors fixing cleft palates of children?

Silent when women are buried to the waist and stoned by mobs. You can’t tell me there isn’t a better, less medieval way of punishing crimes.

Silent when honor killings and dowry murders happen across the entire world. I know that it isn’t islam per se, but good luck separating religion and culture when they are always seen hand-in-hand.

Silent when children get acid thrown on their faces for the double ‘crime’ of being a female and wanting an education.

Silent when muslim mobs attack and burn Christians in Pakistan.

Silent when muslims rape and slaughter Christians in Africa in the millions.

Silent in the face of the fact that islam is the ONLY major religion that tolerates slavery.

Silent when truck drivers get their heads sawed off on Al Jazeera. (What is it with muslims and snuff movies?)

Silent when terrorists kill innocents in the thousands in the name of islam.

Silent when people riot in the streets for joy when this happens.

Silent when the vile crime of terrorism becomes almost the exclusive province of muslims.

Silent when a kindergarten teacher unaware of the culture allows a muslim child to name a teddy bear after Muhammad and gets thrown in prison for her efforts.

Silent when nurses are brutalized in Libya with clearly trumped-up charges of injecting children with AIDs. What *is* it with muslims hating on people trying to help them by healing their sick?

Silent when mobs attack people for simply wanting a place to worship in Indonesia. Their sole crime was being unwelcome in the country they lived in. If islam is so superior, it should have NOTHING to fear from Christians, even if they proselytized 24/7.

Silent when your own religious leaders have the nerve to preach hatred and intolerance in the very countries that grant them asylum from their own murderous people.

Silent when your leaders try to turn your “Cordoba” project into a freedom of religion issue, when you and everyone knows that it is a deliberate insult to the families who lost loved ones and the entire nation as a whole. A person would have to be a total imbecile to not see that, especially when muslims in their millions in the rest of the world see it that way, too.

By your silence in the face of this injustice and brutality, we know the contents of your heart. You may not do those things here — that apparently is just a quirk of local laws, and not of desire, as if it is tolerable there, then the only thing keeping you from it here is our legal system.

Then you talk about the proper way to beat your wife? A male who beats his wife in any way, shape, or form is not worth the ten cents to pump a bullet in his head. I cannot even bring myself to refer to such as a man. A man does not beat his wife. Period. There are no exceptions. If she does not deserve to be a wife, grow a pair of balls and divorce her.

Then you talk about how *we* could be saved? If heaven is full of intolerant, murderous barbarians like these, then by comparison, the infinite torments facing us in hell would be pleasant. Anyway, the only people you consider worth saving are those already saved in your opinion. Anyone else is not worth lifting a single finger for, and even fellow muslims have to be something special — judging by where groups like CAIR send their money, I think the sole qualification for a potential recipient of muslim charity has to be murderous intent, rather than a basic human need like food, shelter, clothing, medical care.

Maybe you can tell me why muslim doctors aren’t clamoring to take over and replace the doctors that their co-religionists murdered? Who takes care of the orphaned children of these doctors and nurses? How about in Africa? How come Christians can find it in their hearts to help the sick and needy regardless of religion, but muslims only help those in their own community? You cannot tell me that it is because of the opportunity for proselytization — Christians have operated hospitals in Saudi Arabia for years under very strict restrictions on that — it is why the US had so much oil business in the country.

By your actions we know you. Your actions while claiming this religion as your own serve as the perfect argument why *not* to join. If your religion prevents you from standing up to injustice, I myself would prefer to die on my feet as a man. I believe in fighting injustice — tolerating it is just as bad as performing it.

If islam is the religion of peace, why won’t its practitioners act like it? As you said, (although your words are just smoke), where’s the PROOF?

You might know your holy book backwards and forwards, but you have no understanding of compassion. All’s the vaunted muslim charity has ever done has only been done for fellow muslims — so I simply do not believe in muslim charity. I believe in Christian charity, because it is done without regard to who or what the person being helped is. All’s you have is a mutual aid society. When charity does not care who the recipient is, then it can cease to be a quid pro quo thing. Not before.

The problem is, you and your religion have something to prove in this country. Every day you remain silent or waste people’s time with empty words rather than deeds is another day that you lose the faith of the people that live with you in this country. Every day, more and more decent people see islam as something completely antithetical to what people like you say it is. You can’t really blame them — apparently, combating injustice is not so much a priority as telling people how they’re condemned and you ‘care for their soul’. That *is* proselytization, and in the face of the current discussion is like throwing gasoline on a fire.

If a Christian preacher preached the violence and bigotry your leaders do every day, he would be quickly and silently removed from leadership. I’ve seen it happen. One week, he’s there, and the next, he’s not. His own congregation would do it, and if they wouldn’t, the church leadership would. It only takes ONE phone call to the people in charge. Don’t muslims have telephones? There are so few exceptions to this that they make international news when they do, and are vilified throughout the entire country.

If my religious leader was in this country on a tourist visa or as an asylum seeker, and preached the vile bigotry I have heard, I would not rest until he had been expelled from religious leadership, and from the country as well. It wouldn’t matter if I was the ONLY person in my congregation — this behavior has no place in a civilized society.

The final question — when you read this — who are you angry with? Me for writing it, or you and your fellow muslims? If it is me, then you have learned nothing about what it is to truly be an American.

Until you understand this, your silence says everything.

Your writing is always well received by me, Perlcat, and this is only an exception because it may be the best example yet!

So my reason for commenting is, why DO they drive on the wrong side in UK? It’s been that way forever and it still makes no sense.

Where did you learn yours? Crusades were a legitimate blowback to the invasion of Holy Lands by muzzies. I assume you believe that initial invasion by your spiritual brethren was bloodless? What a chump!

Being a Muslim doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, but it requires you to do bad things. The one that freaks me out worst, for example, is that the husband/father in a family is considered not the protector/breadwinner like in Christian-influenced cultures, but the JUDGE. They’re actually allowed (and I think encouraged, but I’m not sure) to exercise domination of female relatives by beating, raping, and killing them if they get ‘out of line,’ so to speak. Homosexuals can be stoned to death. Jews are supposedly pig/ape creatures. Women are less than slaves. Infidels have to be killed. You must remember that a religion isn’t a race, it’s an ideology. And Islam is really a horrible ideology.

Truth? Iran wants to execute a woman for allegedly being unfaithful. Not a capital crime in civilized Western nations. Not even a crime period.

I guess when they show these videos online of women being shot in the back of the head by Taliban, or stoned to death by muzzie men, you don’t see what I see. You see justice according to your “religion”, I see barbarians practicing a brutal form of punishment for the slightest social offense. Your cult-religion is warped and your attempts at explaining and proselytizing at this website are a complete waste of time. Go away muzzie flea. FOAD

Oh, and Christians are REALLY careful about conclusively saying that anybody else is unsaved. It’s viewed (at least in my local Christian circles) as a kind of mini-playing-God. Plus just unwise, because we don’t know.

But the important thing, according to the Bible, is the relationship with Jesus. Jesus actually said that people are either with or against Him, telling His disciples not to forbid others from preaching in His name. Beyond believing in Jesus’ deity, death and resurrection, and confessing your sinfulness to Him, there aren’t a lot of requirements. So you could make up your own sect and believe that God is going to bring the purple sea-people up to rescue Israel from the sheep and chicken rebellion, but as long as you’re sealed, you’re sealed.

Of course, God may very well lead you to a nice psychiatrist if you think all that…

Argh, I’m sorry for all these posts. >_< I accidentally omitted a point: Even though most Christians are careful not to accuse people of not being saved, the Bible does say you can identify a tree by it's fruit, meaning someone's actions betray their spiritual state. So I would think that if mister Obama is saved he's not walking with the Lord. :/
You know, what with all the Islam-lovin', baby-killin', capitalism-collapsin' policies.

Only Allaah is AL HAKAM (the Judge).
People have to judge upon some things, but only Allaah Judges mankind’s soul upon their belief and whatever else He Wills.
Muslims are not pro homosexuality, not pro abortion, and not pro terrorism, but we are pro Muslim, Obama is not one of us, but we hope for each person’s guidance and wellbeing.
We are literally the Religious people of this time period, and we receive trials and tribulations.
We are not perfect, but we strive to be close to perfection and not to be extreme.
The natural state for the human being to exist in is one of submission to Allaah, Who is the only Lord, not to anyone else, and certainly not to Satan, even if that’s popular. That’s the struggle of the human soul, to fight against one’s desires and obey Allaah. To choose right over wrong and victory in Allaah over defeat in the corruptions of Satan.

Do they believe allah when he tells them that they should kill all the non-believers? Do they stone their wives and daughters for not obeying or dishonoring them? Do they kidnap and rape children, then turn them out as prostitutes for other believers? Ultimately, do they publicly, for all the saudis and iranians to hear, renounce hammas and hizbollah as terrorist organizations? How would they prove their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States as these things mentioned are completely incompatible with it? Do they tell non-believers lies to promote islam? Oh, there is plenty more, but I think this softball should be an easy hit out the park for you, Kyle.

Now this I have to say I do agree with you when you say that as a Muslim you have no choice. Yet I will say this as Christ says, “you will know them by their fruit” Matt 7:16 Now as I know you will know people of God by what they do what their lives reflect. Same case scenario, not judging but look at what he’s done so far.

1. He says,’ Israel, we ( and no count me out of this we) restrict you of building any more buildings in eastern Jeruselum. Dude thats out of your say so.
2. He turns his back to Israel in their soon hour of need, although Israel is gonna hand Russia and Iran their butts anyway thanks to God. For those that are christians and know proficy. And sides, EVERYONE HATES U.S.- uh first hint, “CHINA OF ALL NATIONS WANTS THE EURO IN PLACE OF GEORGE? NOW YOU DO THE MATH!!
3. He cancels the day of prayer in the white house
4. He refuses to be with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and yet when a opportunity was made all cameras and photogs were banned.
so gain you decide.
