The murder of Neda, the Iranian elections were explosive and captured the news for days. A huge block of Iran’s voters were denied their rights to have their votes counted by their terrorist Islamic state that murdered one beautiful innocent bystander named-- Neda, during one of many protests. And, after her death the murder of many protesters who were arrested while waiting for trial by Iran’s Islamic extremist jailers.
Also, French President Sarkozy while speaking to the French Parliament stated he want’s the “Hijab banned from France”. Three weeks prior to Sarkozy’s statement, hitting the press, President Obama delivered an address in Egypt concerning US relations and the Islamic world. In contrasting views, French President Sarkozy want’s the Hijab banned while President Obama wants it accepted and supports law that defends the Burka in public use.
Obama stated, “Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That's why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it. So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America…”
His statement caused the publisher of Fujah to ponder the drastic change in US diplomacy, but one we were told was on the way. However, in Ironic contrast-- who would have ever thought a forceful voice for liberty would come from France. And, a tepid response at best from the US by President Obama concerning the hijab, suffrage and murder of innocent Iranians.
With all do respect to President Obama his rhetoric is called political side stepping. Why is he trying to appease a group of people that are greatly responsible for terrorism around the world (i.e.) Islamic Extremist. Does he realize his appeasing double talk is a direct confrontation to Americans and all who have suffered from Islamic terrorism? Does he not realize the Hijab is a blatant sign of oppression, death and terrorism? Or that extremist only care about their ideological position and they want to purge the world of all who do not believe the way they do?
The fact is - Islam is directly responsible for most of the terrorism around the world. Be it the Saudis or the current Iranian regime, Sunni’s, Shia’s Sufi or Ahmaddiya they openly promote it’s expansion around the world. Furthermore - US son’s and daughters are being blown up by Iranian extremist as they fight for the liberty of those oppressed by Islamic extremism? If Iran gets enough high grade plutonium, which evidence shows Iran is on the fast track to process, is President Obama so naïve the Iranians will not kill millions?
Perhaps President Obama should have stated the facts about the oppression of women who have to wear the hijab. The women beaten and even killed for breaking this and other oppressive Islamic laws. Simply summarized, Obama’s rhetoric, overt political correct ideology and confusing actions are leading many to ponder if they made the right decision on one fateful day in November of 2008.
