Obamination: Stoodge Prepares for Visit to Cairo
The BBC, in an article entitled: "Why Obama's Cairo speech matters", circumlocutes the critical issues, concentrating instead on American attitudes. I was expecting a potentially revealing quote from an interview with President Obama, as hinted at in an ABC radio news broadcast.
A second article, linked in the right sidebar of the first, promises more: " Obama to address Muslims in Egypt". Unfortunately that article also fails to deliver. Evidently the writers are paid by the word, with little consideration for content.
A visit to the White House web site revealed the White House set up for the big speech.Denis McDonough, Deputy National Security Advisor for strategic Communications, had this to say.
So the message the President wants to send is not different, frankly, than the one he's been sending since he was inaugurated, namely that we believe that this is an opportunity for us in the United States, who, frankly, have arrived at a place here based on many of the advances that come out of the Muslim world, be it science out of Baghdad, be it math and technology out of Al-Andalus or otherwise. The fact is that we've had a great partnership over the course of many decades. We want to get back on a shared partnership, back in a conversation that focuses on the shared values, and that's what the President will talk about in Cairo.
advances that come out of the Muslim world
- science
- mathematics
shared partnership
Of course the advisory ignores the fatal fact that Allah expressly forbids partnerrship with Kuffar.- 3:118. O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitânah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
shared values
Why doesn't the advisory list those shared values? Only because there ain't any! Islam does not share our values! Islam values conquest and death in the pursuit thereof. It does not value life & liberty.I expect that on Thursday, President Obama will stand and deliver the usual pack of lies in which he will rhetorically separate Jihad from Islam, praise Islam, blame America and sell Israel down the creek by promoting the suicidal "two state solution".
