Obama Supports Muslim Brotherhood in United Nations ProcedingsMr. Obama has bent over backward to accommodate not just Muslim-Americans, but a deeply problematic organization - the Muslim Brotherhood (or Ikhwan) - that purports to represent their interests here. ===The latest poll suggests that most Americans do not believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. The brotherhood does not care if he professes Christianity - provided he does subscribe to the Brotherhood's creed: > "Allah is our objective; > the Koran is our law; > the Prophet is our leader; > jihad is our way; > and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations." ===In September 2009, the Obama administration co-sponsored a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution eagerly sought by the Muslim Brotherhood and its friends. The resolution called on member nations to "prohibit and criminalize" speech that offends Islam and its followers. Obama is not in favor of the same law protecting Christianity. Such an accommodation clearly would violate the Constitution's First Amendment guarantees of freedom of expression. ===Of the Constitution, the Obama administration is arguing in federal court that the U.S. government's ownership of AIG, which happens to be the largest purveyor of Shariah-compliant insurance products in the world, does not violate the Establishment Clause's separation of church and state. ===According to Mr. Obama, the NASA administrator's "foremost" priority is to make Muslims feel better about themselves and their history. Job No. 1 is not assuring U.S. supremacy in space or even assured access to it; it's Muslim outreach and therapy. === ===Mr. Obama declared in his inaugural address, "The United States is a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers." The ordering of Muslims before Jews clearly was deliberate because the latter have been and are in the United States in far larger numbers than the former and have played a much more important role in the nation's history from its founding. Subsequently, he went even further, describing (inaccurately) America as "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." ===Then, last month, Mr. Obama endorsed the mega-mosque near Ground Zero in a White House Iftar dinner attended by prominent Muslim Brotherhood operatives. Subsequent efforts to distance himself from that stance, in the face of intense criticism from the public and politicians of both parties, has only put into even sharper focus his pandering to this community. ===Christine Brim has broken the story of a major new Obama initiative in that vein. In the words of the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization in the country, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), "A phenomenal next step has been made in which government iftars become coupled with workshops to provide resources and benefit the Muslim community. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (DOA) and the [Muslim Brotherhood-associated] Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO) have paired the first of such events, scheduled for August 31, 2010." ===In his much-ballyhooed address to the Muslim world delivered in Cairo in June 2009, Mr. Obama not only signaled his determination to "reach out" to followers of Islam. He also committed himself to an initiative - clearing the way for Muslims to "fulfill their zakat (tithing for charity) obligations" - that would have the practical effect of giving Brotherhood operatives (whose representatives he insisted be in the audience) more latitude to engage in material support for terrorism and, thereby, wage their "civilization jihad" in and from America. ===A new Pew Center poll says nearly one in five Americans thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim. Perhaps that is because of reports like the one blared on the cover of the Sept. 6 edition of the tabloid the Globe, replete with photos of Mr. Obama in Muslim garb: It found "shocking proof" in a Nile TV interview given earlier this year by Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, disclosing that "the American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim." ===
