20 Obama Quotes About Islam Contrasted With 20 Obama Quotes About Christianity by peteregwu(m): 9:35am On Oct 04, 2013
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV.

You are about to read some of the
most shocking quotes that Barack
Obama has ever uttered in public. A
few of these have been widely circulated, but most of them are very
obscure. Even though he claims to be
a Christian, throughout his political
career Obama has repeatedly attacked traditional Biblical Christianity and he has a very long history of anti- Christian actions.

In public speeches he has repeatedly cast doubt on the Bible, he has repeatedly stated that he does not believe that Jesus is necessary for salvation, and he has consistently said that he believes that all “people of faith” believe in the same God. At the same time, Obama has always referred to Muhammed as “the Prophet”, he has always expressed great love and respect for Islam, and he has even removed all references to Islam from terror training materials used by federal government agencies. So what in the world does “the leader of the free world” actually believe? Read the quotes below and decide for yourself…

20 Quotes By Barack Obama About
Islam

#1 “The future must not belong to
those who slander the Prophet of
Islam”

#2 “The sweetest sound I know is the
Muslim call to prayer”

#3 “We will convey our deep
appreciation for the Islamic faith,
which has done so much over the
centuries to shape the world —
including in my own country.”

#4 “As a student of history, I also
know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
#5 “Islam has a proud tradition of
tolerance.”

#6 “Islam has always been part of
America”

#7 “we will encourage more
Americans to study in Muslim
communities”

#8 “These rituals remind us of the
principles that we hold in common,
and Islam’s role in advancing justice,
progress, tolerance, and the dignity
of all human beings.”

#9 “America and Islam are not
exclusive and need not be in
competition. Instead, they overlap,
and share common principles of
justice and progress, tolerance and
the dignity of all human beings.”

#10 “I made clear that America is not
– and never will be – at war with
Islam.”

#11 “Islam is not part of the problem
in combating violent extremism – it
is an important part of promoting
peace.”

#12 “So I have known Islam on three
continents before coming to the
region where it was first revealed”

#13 “In ancient times and in our
times, Muslim communities have
been at the forefront of innovation
and education.”

#14 “throughout history, Islam has
demonstrated through words and
deeds the possibilities of religious
tolerance and racial equality.”

#15 “Ramadan is a celebration of a
faith known for great diversity and
racial equality”

#16 “The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O
mankind! We have created you male
and a female; and we have made you
into nations and tribes so that you
may know one another.’”

#17 “I look forward to hosting an Iftar
dinner celebrating Ramadan here at
the White House later this week, and
wish you a blessed month.”

#18 “We’ve seen those results in
generations of Muslim immigrants –
farmers and factory workers, helping
to lay the railroads and build our
cities, the Muslim innovators who
helped build some of our highest
skyscrapers and who helped unlock
the secrets of our universe.”

#19 “That experience guides my
conviction that partnership between
America and Islam must be based on
what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I
consider it part of my responsibility
as president of the United States to
fight against negative stereotypes of
Islam wherever they appear.”

#20 “I also know that Islam has
always been a part of America’s
story.”

20 Quotes By Barack Obama About
Christianity

#1 “Whatever we once were, we are
no longer a Christian nation”

#2 “We do not consider ourselves a
Christian nation.”

#3 “Which passages of scripture
should guide our public policy?
Should we go with Leviticus, which
suggests slavery is OK and that
eating shellfish is an abomination? Or
we could go with Deuteronomy,
which suggests stoning your child if
he strays from the faith?”

#4 “Even those who claim the Bible’s
inerrancy make distinctions between
Scriptural edicts, sensing that some
passages – the Ten Commandments,
say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity –
are central to Christian faith, while
others are more culturally specific
and may be modified to accommodate
modern life.”

#5 “The American people intuitively
understand this, which is why the
majority of Catholics practice birth
control and some of those opposed
to gay marriage nevertheless are
opposed to a Constitutional
amendment to ban it. Religious
leadership need not accept such
wisdom in counseling their flocks,
but they should recognize this
wisdom in their politics.”

#6 From Obama’s book, The Audacity
of Hope: “I am not willing to have the
state deny American citizens a civil
union that confers equivalent rights
on such basic matters as hospital
visitation or health insurance
coverage simply because the people
they love are of the same sex—nor am
I willing to accept a reading of the
Bible that considers an obscure line
in Romans to be more defining of
Christianity than the Sermon on the
Mount.”

#7 Obama’s response when asked
what his definition of sin is: “Being
out of alignment with my values.”

#8 “If all it took was someone
proclaiming I believe Jesus Christ
and that he died for my sins, and that
was all there was to it, people
wouldn’t have to keep coming to
church, would they.”

#9 “This is something that I’m sure
I’d have serious debates with my
fellow Christians about. I think that
the difficult thing about any religion,
including Christianity, is that at some
level there is a call to evangelize and
prostelytize. There’s the belief,
certainly in some quarters, that
people haven’t embraced Jesus
Christ as their personal savior that
they’re going to hell.”

#10 “I find it hard to believe that my
God would consign four-fifths of the
world to hell. I can’t imagine that my
God would allow some little Hindu
kid in India who never interacts with
the Christian faith to somehow burn
for all eternity. That’s just not part of
my religious makeup.”

#11 “I don’t presume to have
knowledge of what happens after I
die. But I feel very strongly that
whether the reward is in the here and
now or in the hereafter, the aligning
myself to my faith and my values is a
good thing.”

#12 “I’ve said this before, and I know
this raises questions in the minds of
some evangelicals. I do not believe
that my mother, who never formally
embraced Christianity as far as I know
… I do not believe she went to hell.”

#13 “Those opposed to abortion
cannot simply invoke God’s will–they
have to explain why abortion violates
some principle that is accessible to
people of all faiths.”

#14 On his support for civil unions
for gay couples: “If people find that
controversial then I would just refer
them to the Sermon on the Mount.”

#15 “You got into these small towns
in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of
small towns in the Midwest, the jobs
have been gone now for 25 years and
nothing’s replaced them. And they fell
through the Clinton Administration,
and the Bush Administration, and
each successive administration has
said that somehow these
communities are gonna regenerate
and they have not. And it’s not
surprising then they get bitter, they
cling to guns or religion or antipathy
to people who aren’t like them or
anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-
trade sentiment as a way to explain
their frustrations.”

#16 “In our household, the Bible, the
Koran and the Bhagavad Gita sat on
the shelf alongside books of Greek
and Norse and African mythology”

#17 “On Easter or Christmas Day, my
mother might drag me to church, just
as she dragged me to the Buddhist
temple, the Chinese New Year
celebration, the Shinto shrine, and
ancient Hawaiian burial sites.”

#18 “we have Jews, Muslims, Hindus,
atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, and
their own path to grace is one that
we have to revere and respect as
much as our own”

#19 “All of us have a responsibility
to work for the day when the mothers
of Israelis and Palestinians can see
their children grow up without fear;
when the Holy Land of the three great
faiths is the place of peace that God
intended it to be; when Jerusalem is
a secure and lasting home for Jews
and Christians and Muslims, and a
place for all of the children of
Abraham to mingle peacefully
together as in the story of Isra —
(applause) — as in the story of Isra,
when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed,
peace be upon them, joined in prayer.
(Applause.)”

#20 “I believe that there are many
paths to the same place, and that is a
belief that there is a higher power, a
belief that we are connected as a
people.”
