A Psychological analysis here is unavoidable. Irregardless of the truth, which is known only to BHO regarding his true feelings toward the religion of his paternal forebears (the proverbial “Faith of Our Fathers”) a key issue with the election of an Arab descendant/practicing Christian during the present war against radical Islam is the effect on the enemy radicals of BHO being president. I am not sure any 21st Centuray Christian can replicate how a contemporary radical Muslim, proposing terrorism as a viable tactic in their current Jihad, thinks about anything. Islam of course is 700 years younger than Christianity, so in the normal religious evolution, they are stuck right in the middle of their own early Reformation, Savaronola (sp?) versus the Borgias with Osama Bin Laden in the role of Savaronola. The Sybarites eventually burned S, and OBL’s fate is probably no different.
But how would S. or OBL’s followers feel about Hussein Obama claiming, and acting, as a Christian? Is the theory that they accept or know his father was an Atheist deadbeat dad who left his son in the custody of a “Christian” woman relevant? I have no idea, but across our huge planet, every permutation of any belief imaginable, even if totally unsupportable by fact, will gain a foothold and the same number of followers as the resulting proslytization will justify, the actual facts be damned.
Bottom Line? I don’t believe electing BHO, no matter how good a man I think he is, and I do believe he is, will help to quell the Jihad being promoted by the Savanorola’s on the other side of the religious divide. The Terror War will become worse, whether BHO tries to run away from it, or whether fed up he decides to turn and fight. If he ever decides to unmask himself as an Arab Wolf, God help us all, and for that reason I never think he would. He would probably go the Jimmy Carter route first.
