More vile stuff from the Brussels Journal

Clive links to a piece on what he rightly calls "some of the murkier stuff' washing around the internet" about Obama.

I hate to link to the Brussels Journal again, but I think a recent post there is a pretty typical (and typically obnoxious) example of what we are in for. The headline gives it away: The First Muslim-Born Leader of the West The piece begins thus: If I had been asked two months ago “Which Western country runs the greatest risk of electing a Muslim-born leader and how soon do you think this is going to happen?” I would have bet on the Netherlands somewhere in the next decade. Today, it looks as if the first Western country with a Muslim-born leader might very well be the United States next year, when President Barack Hussein Obama enters the Oval Office.You get the picture: ...In America, Mr. Obama’s Muslim family background (unlike Mr. Romney’s Mormonism) is a non-issue because he attends a Christian church. Nevertheless, being born from a Muslim father, raised by a Muslim stepfather, having been enrolled at school (in Indonesia) as a Muslim and having attended Friday prayers at the local mosque as a young boy, he cannot be seen by Muslims as anything but a Muslim, especially because he has never explicitly rejected the faith of his fathers nor said anything negative about it.

So he might call himself a Christian but we all know he's really, ugh, a MUSLIM.
