For Barak Hussein Obama there is only one nation and the is the Nation of Islam. A well written news report is presented at this site about the transformation of Hussein from a member of the American nation to the Islamic Nation:
Obama's Idea of America as a Muslim Nation,
Tomorrow, Thursday, President Obama is presenting his speech to the
Muslim Nation. This is how his handlers and he, himself, have
characterized it. In addition, during his interview in London, Obama
described the United States of American as an Islamic Nation. What are
the connections between these two representations?
As far as the second observation is concerned, it is an empirical fact that the United States is not
a Muslim nation. Muslims make up only about 2% of the American
population and historically their contribution has been negligible. By
numbers and consequence America has nothing to do with Islam. Can
Obama be so ignorant as to make this kind of factual mistake, possible;
but let's consider alternative explanations.
On the other hand, America is
spiritually Muslim to the Islamic religion that views all of the world
as the ownership of the one true religion, Islam. Within this context
Obama is correctly describing American as would any believing Muslim.
To a Muslim there is no State as such. The political state that is
recognized within the context of American political ideas. These are
ideas that came out of the Christian Anglo-Saxon social contract theory
of the state. In Islam there is not political state or nation, only
the Nation of Islam, with the Arabs as the top dogs (no pun intended).
For
Muslims, Islam's 1.2 billion adherents are one nation, united. That is
the only organization that is recognized as existing physically on
earth as a nationality. The State in traditional liberalism is
meaningless. To Obama the American nation does not exist and holds no
loyalty. For him there is an American political state; but not a
nation. (This by the way is true for his perception of the European
states and other political liberal state organizations around the
world, including Israel.) As a Muslim, it makes sense then for Obama
to emphasize the notion of America as an Islamic nation. For him
American as a unique nation is a meaningless construction; only as a
political state, which is obviously changeable and therefore has no
permanence.
This is consistant with his speech to the Islamic
Nation. The President will ramble in his usual way for 45 minutes
surrounded by the most anti-Jewish and anti-Christians symbolism and
individuals alive in the today's world. All people of the
Judeo-Christian tradition should be disgusted by this spectacle. The
only new fact will be the West's recognition that Islamic Nationhood
trumps Western Statehood. This is already occurring all over Europe
and in Detroit, Michigan with the demand that Muslims have
self-governance under Sharia law. This places Muslims in a situation
similar to the status of Native-Americans, as a separate nation within
the American State.
The most important fact to emerge from his
speech will be a recognition of Islam as a total nation. It is
America's recognition that Islam transcends the State and all of its
adherents are united as one nation. Their sole loyalty and existence
determined and directed by Islam. This is why neither Obama, nor
anyone else, would think of making a speech to the "Christian Nation."
It would incomprehensible and meaningless. Christianity is not a
nation; it is a religion.
Islam to Obama is a nation and it is his
nation. Throughout his life this has been the one consistent truth.
It is now being made public. Sadly very little of the main stream
media recognize it for what it is; because they do not understand the
distinction between a nation and a state; but, Obama does. The first
hint for the American Nation's citizens should have been when he
anounced during the campaign the he will give an address to the Muslims
as a total nation.
