The Obama Apologist Speech to Islam & Al-Azhar; CAIR and Faux-Conservative Ignoramus Loved the Speech
By Debbie Schlussel
So, I’ve read the entire, way too long Obama apologist speech to Islam made in Cairo earlier today. The whole thing is, as you’ve heard, a disgusting, unfactual, incorrect hour of verbal fertilizer.
It’s so long that I don’t have time to go into all of it now and will have to post a longer entry later on parts of it, later on.
But I just want to point out one thing that Obama kept stressing and praising: Al-Azhar University, the place from which he dared deliver this bull excrement speech. He praised Al-Azhar more than once, including this utterance a the beginning of his speech:
For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning; and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement.
And, then, this:
As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment.
Are you frickin’ kiddin’ me? We owe a debt to Islam for extremist hotbeds of Islam teaching hate? And this somehow in someone’s very creative mythology paved the way for the Enlightenment? Hilarious. I wonder what all the Christian and Jewish thinkers who actually did pave the way for that think about this complete lie? I can hear them doing 360s in their graves.
I found his statements about this known extremist hotbed and source of blatant, virulent anti-Semitism–not to mention his presence there–to be completely disgusting.
It’s like speaking to a group of Klansman and praising the contributions to the world of David Duke University. Or telling neo-Nazis that Hitler U is a great place and we highly respect it. I wonder how Obama would feel if a White Western leader gave a speech at “We Hate Ni–ers University.” That’s essentially what happened today, and believe me, they call the Jews their equivalent of the N-word, on a regular basis, there.
And Obama and his staff know all of that. It ain’t a secret. It’s well known that Al-Azhar is the source of much of the extremist Sunni Muslim religious thought in the entire Muslim world. It’s known that they openly teach at this school that Jews are subhuman and must be wiped off the earth. It’s also known that the Muslim Brotherhood–from which Al-Qaeda and HAMAS both emanated–uses the place as its home base to recruit terrorists. Heck, it might as well be called Brotherhood U.
Muhammad Sayyid Al-Tantawi, the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar, is notorious for his anti-Semitic statements and teachings. Read more about Al-Azhar from Andrew Bostom’s op-ed column in last week’s New York Daily News.
So why the heck would an American President praise this place? Only if he’s a) a complete moron, b) a complete a–hole, or c) both. I vote “c.”
Also of note, complete ignoramus and soft-on-Islam clueless vessel Ed Morrissey of Hot Air (a pimp for pan-Muslim Grover Norquist) declared the speech “Surprisingly Good.” Figures, cuz’ again, he’s about as ignorant as Obama, minus the panache. And, predictably, CAIR loved the speech, too. That Hot Air and CAIR have the same feelings on the Obama speech and both loved it, should tell ya something.
And not about CAIR. They actually know what they’re doing.
Don’t posting your review of it. Since its about nothing, its a waste of time to even analyze. Its skip-worthy. And it will be forgotten in a few months. Let me save you the time, Debbie: It can be summarized as: Blame America, Screw The Jews And Apologize For Islam speech. There – I’ve saved you a few hours worth of work. The rest is just commentary. Oh – it wasn’t that good!
