The Obama Doctrine: Relativism at All Costs

After six years in office, there are few things that President Obama does that surprises me.

Notwithstanding this, I was still shocked to hear his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast.

Using some misguided moral equivalency, President Obama reached back over almost a thousand years to compare a group of Christians then to current day radical Islamists k*****g innocents in the name of Allah, telling Christians not to get on their “high horse”. (Not to mention, he conveniently omitted the context of the Crusades, a response to Islamic conquest).

At times during the speech, it appeared the President was taking on his much-coveted role of Professor, lecturing students. There is great irony here. He, along with his friends, the media-academic complex, the West’s left and their doctrine of relativism, are the ones that need a history lesson.

This doctrine is a denial of reality, makes it impossible to defeat the jihad, and putting homeland security at risk. The Bible is not the same as the Koran. All religions are not the same.

It has never been clearer: the West is at war with Islam. This is neither hypothesis nor opinion; it is reality. No delicacy, diplomacy, disguise or differentiation can alter this.

What is happening with ISIS, and what happened in Boston, Fort Hood, New York, Bali, Madrid, Sydney, London and most recently, Paris, is not unusual, or new or coincidental.

The t***h concerning Islam has been a casualty of political correctness. The reality is that from its inception until now, Islam has been violent, with its purpose to bring mankind to Islam. Throughout history, it went to war to conquer and convert people in countries from the Atlantic Ocean to Western China. These were never defensive wars. None of the conquered countries threatened Muslim Arabia.

The Battle of Tours in 732. The Siege of Constantinople in 1453. The Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The Battle of Vienna in 1683. The Battle of Derne in 1804. It goes on.

A lack of liberty, an abandonment of reason, the imposition of Sharia on Muslims and non-Muslims, as well as the treatment of women are just some of the serious moral problems within the Muslim world. Islamist views are incompatible with the liberty enjoyed by Americans.

With Islamic supremacism a mainstream interpretation of Islam, deeply rooted in Islamic scripture and endorsed by many of Islam’s most influential scholars, we face this perpetual global jihad. It is in their DNA. Change is not coming.

They will not stop. The more we bow, the more they will bomb. The more we relate, equate and obfuscate, the weaker we become. The more we fear to offend and the more we hesitate to identify the enemy, the more they edge toward victory. The deceptive adorning of qualities, most notably of Islam being a religion of peace, must stop. It is the West, beaconed by America, England and Australia from across the oceans, that has sought peace. Due to this advocacy and false narrative, our war is as much with the chattering classes as it is with the jihadi.

The current tyranny against common sense that presides in the West will quickly become the tyranny of Sharia, if we are not careful. Subservience to political correctness will turn to subservience to the Caliph**e, if the Western world, led by America, does not wake up.

I have long maintained that Americans must prepare themselves for eventual full-scale war this century or the next with the Islamist.

If this becomes reality, the West will have no choice but to extirpate the enemy as mercilessly and thoroughly as possible, as this attitude defines the Islamist warrior and his jihad.

Demography is rampantly on the side of Islam, particularly in Europe, and as such, a most substantial increase in Islamic power in this territory of the world must be expected.

There is only one force that stands in the way of global Islam, and that is the United States of America.

It is deeply regrettable and telling that President Obama would desperately reach back 1000 years to make a comparison that would excuse or blunt the impact of militant Islam today.

Just curious here. Did the president say he thought it was okay for radical Islam or extremists , wh**ever , to cut peoples heads off and murder others including Muslims ? Did the president say , in any way , that he supports ISIS or ISIL ? Is it possible that you are posting this in support of some anti American philosophy that seeks to create a holy war and cultivate h**e of religions other than Christianity ? Is there anything he said that is not true ? Posters on OPP frequently cite that the US was established as a Christian nation over two hundred years ago. Over two hundred years ago. It's a bunch of bulls**t but if it's kosher for teatards to cite perceived happenings from two hundred years ago , why all the whining ?

You Liberals whine constantly about things that happened in the past. There is not one single person alive today who had anything to do with s***ery in the anti-bellum south, yet somehow we are supposed to feel guilt for this. ISIS atrocities today are supposed to be "taken in context" when compared to something that may or may not have been done by Christians 1000 years ago. We should get off our "high horse" because someone we never heard of did or did not do something ten centuries agone? What the hell is wrong with you? What has that got to do with murders today?
To comment on your other statement that shows your absolute lack of an understanding of historical circumstance;
The US was not so much founded as a Christian country as it was a given that it was a Christian country, and none of the Founders could envision it ever being anything else. Religion was a dominating force in the 18th century. Any faith outside of the Jueo-Christian panoply was so rare it was non-existant for practical purposes. Of the 55 delegates to the original Constitutional Convention, 52 identified as being adherents of some form of Christianity. In this, they were a microcosm of the country as a whole. The Constitutional prohibitions in the First Amendment state that "Congress shall make no law respecting the Establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," were intended as a bulwark against a state sponsored church such as the Church of England or the Catholic Church of France and Spain. Both of these religious organizations had become more political than religious.
To return to the Crusades, your boy Obama neglected to mention that the Crusades were, at least in part, a response to 400 years of non-stop Muslim aggression, and that Muslim atrocities were probably worse than those committed by Christian forces of the time.
From the time of the Crusades until about 1800, more than 12 million sub-Saharan b****s were ens***ed by Muslims. In a 300 year period from 1500 to 1800, more than one million white Europeans were also ens***ed by Muslims, in their s***e raids. Almost every black in s***ery got that way courtesy of Allah, the merciful and compassionate.

You will not hear that from one who professes a determination to "stand with the Muslims," and who states that "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet."

The Prevaricator-in-Chief is not a Christian. He is not a Muslim either, except perhaps in his agreement with their desire to destroy the West. He seems to agree with their politics while claiming not to adhere to their religious beliefs. I believe Obama has no religion, other than what is politically advantageous to Obama. This is quite malleable, like his political opinions which he seems to change more frequently than his underwear.

The Obama Doctrine: Relativism at All Costs




***************************

I think Nick Adams was being charitable when he attributed Obama's behavior to misguided moral relevance. To me, it seems he displays a malevolent hatred of Christianity. As far as the rest of his article he is spot on. A person can not be a good Moslem without espousing the evil actions perpetrated by those whom we stupidly characterize as extremists. Their holy book, the koran, commands such behavior; anyone not following its precepts is considered an apostate.

It is a cult of violence; we must get our heads out of the sand and take the steps necessary, to protect ourselves from it. A good start would be to outlaw the cult, remove all of the mosques, offer all Moslems the opportunity, to abjure the cult or face loss of citizenship, deportation or imprisonment.

Did you make a reference to , " stand with the Muslims " ? The internet bulls**t e-mail. You could look that one up. I did not write that I believed in any way that the US is or was a Christian nation. I did relate what others on OPP have written as their own opinion when in reality it was just more ,word for word , stuff they heard on Fox news. I guess they might really believe it. I appreciate the way you have written that there is doubt as to all the details of the middle ages. I have always been under the impression it was a two way street. It does not seem to me that the contest of who could do the worst thing or was the most right or wrong had a clear champion. It might come down to who you would like to believe. Who were those people who burned reported witches up there in Salem ? Did they claim to be Christian ? Did that really happen ? If your family gets wasted by a missile that you believe is from an enemy , would you be looking for payback ? You you choose to make sure your enemy gets the message to stop messing with you ? What is the perspective of the ISIS maniacs ? How do they justify their actions ? The US dropped a couple of bombs on Japan a few years back. Some people were vaporized and others suffered horrible , ugly suffering before they died. What was the victims perspective ? We justified the bombs as merciful in order to end a war. Anyone on here that pretends they don't understand why the president made the comments that he did is a stupid s**t stirrer or truly a dumbass of epic proportions. He in no way is supporting an army of murderous maniacs that have a hard on for Christians. They have shown they are not prejudiced , they'll cut anyone's head off no matter what their religion or even if they practice one. Instead of the supposed "good Christians" backing the president they want to up the ante and make things worse. Sounds a lot like the middle ages to me.
