Obama Seeks Muslims For White House Posts

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama is conducting his own affirmative action program to get more Muslims in the White House.

The move began with Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn, who took his oath of office with a hand on the Quran, to solicit the resume of what he considered to be the nation's most qualified adherents of Islam.

According to the Denver Post, when White House officials heard about the program, it was put on overdrive.

So far, 45 Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and government officials have been submitted for consideration.

Quote from the article:
"In 1991, Mohamed Akram wrote a memo for the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood that explained its work in America as "a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

Now that is one scary thought. It's not play time anymore boys and girls. It's time to seriously think about the welfare of our nation.

Another section of article:

J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, sifted through more than 300 names as part of the search.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."

Now I wonder why they thought it best not to let the American public know?

Obama wants us in a civil war like his hero "Honest" Abe.

"The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of war. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all that even question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies. the Southern Army in front of me and the financial institutions at the rear. The latter is my greatest foe." Abraham Lincoln

Does it really matter what religion they practice?

It matters if they are fast tracked.

So people can not be turned down for a job because of their religion but they can be promoted because of the cult they belong to?

2:46 is right. Read the article. They mention the Denver Post, but don't link to it. The only links they have are to THEMSELVES. Not one shred of evidence to support their claims.

The rest of the planet has learned that worldnetdaily is the Internet equivalent of the Weekly World News. Get up to speed, guys.

Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans
Denver Post Wire Report

CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.

The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."


Saved you the trouble of looking it up.

4:47 Take a look at what a Right Wing blogger (Jon Henke)at a Right Wing site (The Next Right) has to say about World Net Daily and Jerome Corsi.

"The continued tolerance and prominence of Jerome Corsi - his books, columns and appearances - is just embarrassing. It is embarrassing to the Tight, embarrassing for Republicans, embarrassing for conservatives and libertarians, embarrassing for all of us."

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

If they are American citizens (Americans!) what's your beef? I will acknowledge that their petty religion is almost as wicked as Christianity.

Why does this suprise anyone? His middle name IS Hussein.
I am no conspiracy theorist but lately everything this President says or does is disturbing.

Can a good Muslim be a good American?
That question was sent to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his reply

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon
god of Arabia.

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his
Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which
he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual
leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and
beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American
Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he elieves the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and _expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God,"
the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and eliberation.... perhaps we should
be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish.... it's still the truth.

What a bunch of bigots! So there is not one person of Muslin faith that is qualified to hold public office in this country? And once again, we have the comments about how President Obama,ia a sleeper Muslim, who is finally coming out of the religious closet.
If he is a Muslim, his Afgan policy is sure going to piss a lot of them off. We are finally going after the head of the snake, instead of wasting billions of dollars and thousands of lives on a wild goose chase in Iraq.

Anonymous said...

Dozens of US soldiers of Muslin faith have died in the War on Terror, most of these comments disrespect their sacrifice, and are made by people less qualified to claim themselves as Americans, let a lone patriots.

OBAMA lied. He stated his FIRST action was to pull all troops out of iraq and to end this war was it not? but yet he sent 50,000 (i think) more over. Also i dont think it to be a wasted effort at all in iraq . So far we have found one of the biggest alquida funding sources ( Saddam Husein) and he was executed. Since 9/11 our heightened security (thanks to george bush) has kept any further attacks from happening. I would rather see a war in their backyard then in our front yard. GOD bless our soldiers over their who put their lives on the line so everyone can bash them for it while their safe behind their computers. Obama needs a convertible ride down dealey plaza.

Do you want to be the trigger man? Inquiring minds want to know.

The Denver post says this:

"CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes ... has been submitted to the White House."

Which gets changed by World Net Daily to this:

"Barack Obama is conducting his own affirmative action program to get more Muslims in the White House."

How did the person(s) doing the action get changed in the story?

@7:19pm and any other's who credit worldnetdaily:

What they report may be broadly factual, but the way they report it has tabloid written all over it. It's there to get attention to the website, so they can make money from advertisements. The only way to get the most views is to report stories in the most fanatical way possible, and what drives a conservative crazier than a Muslim in our government.

I mean christ just look at the advertisements on the site. It's there to suck you in.
