Obama’s Wisdom on Burning of Koran

Regarding the proposed building of a mosque at Ground Zero, President Obama has said that he will “not comment on the wisdom” of such a project. A large majority of Americans regard it as outrageous that a place of worship for an ideology in whose name thousands of Americans were slaughtered is proposed to be built in the very area where the slaughter took place. Nonetheless, Mr. Obama can’t bring himself to denounce the proposed mosque. However, he is willing to say that Muslims have “…the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property….”

By contrast, in the case of the burning of the Koran, which is a matter of constitutionally protected free speech on behalf of Americans who are opposed to the Koran’s message of Jihad and Sharia Law, his approach is the exact opposite: Not only will he not affirm individuals’ right to burn a book on their property, but also he does offer his opinion on the wisdom of taking such an action. And his verdict? In essence: Don’t offend the Muslims.

In the conflict between Americans who oppose Jihad and Shariah law and people who openly or silently support these ideas, he sides with whom?

The word jackass comes to mind, of course, but think of the deeper implications of the situation: This is our Commander-in-Chief. This the stance that the leader of the supposedly Free World and of its military forces takes in the face of calls for global Jihad against the United States? Perhaps when his term is up, he can run for President of Iran.

Attorney General Protecting Whom from Whom?

Recently, United States Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to protect Arab-Americans against hate crimes. Is it just me, or does it seem that as a nation the focus of our concern has become completely backward? In today's climate of flying passenger jets into skyscrapers, of Islamic calls to global jihad against the infidels, of an Islamic theocratic dictatorship obtaining nuclear weapons, of radical Muslims beheading journalists, of death threats against the creators of cartoons and television shows depicting Mohammed, it would seem to make more sense for the U. S. Attorney General to vow to protect Americans from domestic-grown terrorists. Am I the only person who thinks that the thinking of the civilized world has turned upside down?
