Egypt official: U.S. president claims to be Muslim

An Egyptian foreign service official's comment about President Obama is turning into a sensation among bloggers for its claim that the American leader claims to be Muslim.

Obama's religiosity has been the subject of discussion since before he was elected and his Chicago-area pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, delivered a "God d--- America" sermon that was caught on video.

Obama later claimed to be a Muslim in a television interview where the interviewer corrected his "misstatement" and he has referenced the Muslim heritage in America's past several times.

Now the heat on the issue is being turned up because of a weeks-old report in Israel Today.

In the report, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit was quoted as saying during an appearance on Nile TV that, "The American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim."

The White House remained silent on the comment, declining to respond to a WND request for comment.

But blogger Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs wrote, "This is akin to an SS officer getting elected president during WW II. Every country in the free world must be cognizant of such a catastrophic sea change in the leadership of the free world (as witnessed by events over the past year). This changes everything. He took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet he has gone around the world promoting Islam, the Shariah (Islamic law)."

She suggested that the exchange could have happened early in 2010 when Gheit was in Washington, D.C., to address "Mideast peace talks."

The Israel Today report, from late in April, focused on the "crisis" in relations between Jerusalem and Washington under Obama.

It quotes sources who called Obama a "strategic catastrophe" for Israel.

They expressed concern, speaking on condition of anonymity to the newspaper, that Obama's administration is a serious threat to the future of Israel.

The report then said Israelis feel Obama is "appeasing" Muslims at the expense of Israel.

"'The American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,' said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV. That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term 'Islamic extremism' no longer be used in official government documents and statements," according to the report.

There was no independent verification of the statement attributed to Gheit.

But a video has been assembled by a group called Feel the Change Media highlighting Obama's numerous remarks about Islam:

It has been viewed more than two million times already.

It was last year when Toby Harden, of the Daily Telegraph, cited Obama's statement that the U.S. is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

Obama had said, he quoted, "if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

Of course he is a Muslim. He has admitted it more than once. Maybe he didn't mean to but I am sure just about everyone on here has seen that video where he is talking to George Stephanopoulis and saying something about how McCain hadn't said anything about his Muslim faith.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Even at the risk of offending the pretend, wannabe president, I say amen to that.

Good deal. Thanks for keeping this going. I wish everyone in America could see that video, or would be interested in seeing it. I am sure that if they were interested someone would be glad to show it to them.

When Jesus was asked "when will the last times be" he responded that many things would occur first like wars, and earthquakes etc., then he said the end would be at hand when you see ---> The "ABOMINATION that makes desolate sitting where it ought not:"

If it turns out that this communist faggot from da hood (sitting in the Oval Office) is the omen introducing the last days, one would have to admit God has a dark (black) sense of humor.

YOU only count when it's census or TAX time" ... don't you find it ironic that the census bureau says they rely upon the Constitution for their authority and pays their help in UNCONSTITUTIONAL FRNs ... bend over and lick the hand that beats you !
