It’s time to back away the Jeremiah Wright kerfluffle.

If Lanny Davis and other Clinton surrogates want to play the race game, then so be it. Obama is no racist, nor is he responsible for the inflammatory and seditious statements made by Jeremiah Wright.

Earlier today, I saw a video that has been mentioned by several bloggers on the right, which compares certain passages from Obama’s book and with selected video clips from several of Wright’s sermons. The viewer is led to the conclusion that Obama poses a threat to the country because of his racial beliefs.

The reason that Obama should not be President has nothing at all to do with race, and to spend time on these kinds of tactics won’t defeat him. It ignores the fact that his lack of experience leaves him unprepared to assume the duties of the job. It also ignores the fact that Obama exudes a certain grandiosity that is surpasses mere cockiness and is, well, unseemly, if not dangerous.

Earlier this week at a San Francisco fundraiser, Obama said, “…foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain.”

Oh, please.

After belittling Mrs. Clinton’s experience as First Lady as being ceremonial fluff, Obama went on to say that among the three candidates for President, only he passes the 3 AM Leadership Test. Indeed, he alone possesses “the judgment, the temperament to ask the right questions, to weigh the costs and benefits of military action, who insists on good intelligence, who is not going to be swayed by the short-term politics.” What a piece of work. source

And as for the ultimate foreign policy test, the one John Kerry called, “passing the Global Test,” Obama proposes a diplomatic Manhattan Project of sorts, with Iran’s Mahmoud Amadinejad. The same Ahmadinejad who said today, his country’s objective was to destroy what he called corrupt western powers:

“Our objective is to annihilate all corrupt powers that dominate our planet today,”

Iran is building nuclear weapons, and has tested the delivery systems to carry out Ahmadinejad’s objective. If he uses them, he gains favor of his god, and ushers in the End-Times chaos of the 12th Mahdi. If he is in turn incinerated in a retaliatory strike, he gets to spend eternity with 72 virgins. He wins either way.

Taking a college trip to Pakistan, living in Indonesia for four years as a child, and having poor relatives in Africa has convinced Obama that he has the necessary gravitas to engage in foreign policy on behalf of the world’s only superpower.

Jeremiah Wright is the least of his problems.

The previous post about the iman calling the Dutch schoolchildren “dogs” stirred my curiosity. With Geert Wilders making headlines with his movie Fitna, the murder of Theo van Gogh, and the books and speeches by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Netherlands does indeed seem to be the center of the struggle for the future of Europe.

Occupying a territory only slightly larger than the state of Massachussets, The Netherlands has 453 mosques according to the Social and Cultural-planning agency of the Dutch government. Nearly all have multiple foreign Imams.

Recently, a report by the Dutch intelligence service (AIVD) named six radical mosques, all which are now under surveillance. All six preach the Salafist strain of Islam and all six receive funding from Saudi Arabia. They are:

El Tawheed Mosque in Amsterdam; Sjeikh Al Islam Ibn Taymia in Den Haag; Al Fourkaan mosque in Eindhoven; Al Mouahidine mosque in Helmond; Society of Islamic youth in Breda; Islamic Society for Education and Knowledge Transfer in Tilburg.

After three imans were expelled in 2005 for preaching sedition at the Al Fourkann mosque, a mosque spokesman said,
“If an imam preaches incitement, I am against that. Maybe that has happened sometimes in this mosque, but I don’t know about it because I was not present.”

His statement sounds eerily familiar to Barack H. Obama’s response to statements made by former Nation of Islam, and later Trinity UCC pastor Jeremiah Wright …
“I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue….The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity…”

Just words?

Here are some more words, courtesy of Mrs. Hartsfield. “Your freedom of speech ends somewhere between the edge of my fist and the tip of your nose.”

THE HAGUE, 09/04/08 - A primary school in Amsterdam wished to provide its pupils with an understanding for other cultures. But during a visit to a mosque, the children were told they were dogs.

With a view to developing understanding and respect for other cultures among children, primary school De Horizon regularly organises outings to various religious organisations. The chairman of the El Mouchidine mosque told the children from group 7 (aged 10) and their chaperones however that non-Muslims are dogs.

In a letter to the children’s parents, the school expresses its regret at the incident: “We are shocked that during the guided tour, the mosque’s chairman told the children and chaperoning parents that non believers were dogs. We consider this statement as unacceptable since we allow our children to partake in this project to develop respect for freedom of religious choice”.

In the meantime, the school’s management has addressed the mosque on the undesirable behaviour of the chairman. Both parties will say nothing further on the matter. “We will resolve the matter amongst ourselves and I have no inclination whatsoever to discuss the matter with the media”, as newspaper De Telegraaf quoted the school’s spokesperson Mariet ten Berge. “We have been to the mosque before and it always went well”.

Angry parents had sent the letter on to De Telegraaf but were reportedly rapped on the knuckles by the school’s management. “The school wishes to play this down. That is precisely the problem”, as one mother commented.

How can anyone who has been paying attention for the past decade be at all surprised by the words coming from this islamic supremecist mindset. This type of thinking is all too common among moslem “scholars.”

That the school would issue an apology on behalf of the merchants of hate bespeaks an appalling lack of self-respect.
