Many folks have asserted that Obama is a Muslim. If he were in fact a Muslim and based on his actions to date, what sort of flavor – Shia or Sunni – does he prefer? At the moment he seems rather deferential towards Iran (Shia) and hasn’t stopped Predator strikes on AQ/Taliban (more or less Sunni). One could likewise inquire in regards to his Socialist/Marxist leanings: which strain (or strains) of Communism does he prefer? At first blush, our Messiah seems like bosom buddies with 3rd-world Marxists like Chavez and more polite and altar boy-like with guys like Medvedev, but perhaps the latter is merely due to Medvedev not being a person of color and a rather stiff one at that. Then again, Liberation Theology Marxism and “Classic” Marxism aren’t quite the same thing. Sadly, fred is no longer around to weigh in on this as I’m sure he’d have some interesting things to say.
