Why Would A Rich, Connected Muslim Reach Out To Help Obama In 1987?



What is it with Obama and all these Muslim connections?

From Townhall:


Old videos appear to show a radical Muslim named Khalid Al-Mansour helped Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama gain acceptance into Harvard Law.

Civil rights activist Percy Sutton recalled being solicited by a man named Dr. Khalid A-Mansour to write a letter of recommendation to help Obama gain acceptance into Harvard Law in this undated television interview available HERE.

"I was introduced to him [Obama] by a friend who was raising money for him and the friends name was Dr. Khalid al Mansour from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principle adviser to one of the world's richest men. He told me about Obama. He wrote to me about him and his introduction was 'there is a young man that has applied to Harvard and I know that you have a few friends left there because you used to go up there to speak, would you please write a letter in support of him?'...I wrote a letter in support of him to my friends at Harvard saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I sure hoped they would treat him kindly."

There are many videos available on the internet featuring a man named Khalid Al-Mansour, who describes himself as an author, scholar and businessman, blasting the Jewish culture and Christianity and preaching the virtues of Islam, reminiscent of the controversial clips discovered of Obama’s longtime friend and former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright that rocked headlines earlier this spring.

In one of the videos, titled “Christians Designed Discrimination” uploaded by a YouTube user named IslamStudios, Al-Mansour said, “White people don't feel bad, whatever you do to them, they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it."

He also draws lines between whites and African Americans. “The Christianity that white people got and the Christianity that black people got was not the same,” he added.

In this video, Al-Monsour said white people fear Islam. “The whites are saying we can’t take over Islam, we are going to destroy it. They don’t care if you become a Buddhist, they don’t care if you are a Confuscist, you can be a Christian, you can be anything in this world you want, the only thing they are afraid of is Islam because there is 1 billion 200 million, they don’t want you with that league!

In another video, posted July 1, Al-Mansour styles himself as a political analyst, advising former president Bill Clinton when, where and how Clinton should endorse Obama for president. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBnBnXPQwyM


And, of course, we already know about Obama's friendship with the unrepentant Pentagon-bombing terrorist William Ayers.

But, did you know that Ayers children are named Malik and Zayd? From:
Discover the Networks a link to 2001 NYT quote:

Today, Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn, 59, who is director of the Legal Clinic's Children and Family Justice Center of Northwestern University,


... seem like typical baby boomers, caring for aging parents, suffering the
empty-nest syndrome.
Their son, Malik, 21, is at the University of
California, San Diego; Zayd, 24, teaches at Boston University.

Like I said, what is it with Obama and all his Muslim connections?

Why is it that
Obama says the Islamic Call to Prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth"?

Will we ever know the answers to these questions?

I sure as hell hope we never have to learn them.

Researching this issue I find Black liberation theology links:

"For two radicals once living underground, Ayers and Dohrn have raised three accomplished children:

Zayd (named for a fallen Black Liberation soldier and colleague),

24, graduated from Brown University and has an M.F.A. degree in writing from Boston University, where he now teaches;

Malik (for Malcolm X), 21,

is attending the University of California at San Diego; and Chesa, 20, their adopted son, just finished his sophomore year at Yale University."


Distancing himself from Wright wasn't working so Obama ended up throwing a twenty year relationship with Rev. Wright & his black liberation theology under the bus.

He's only distanced himself from Ayers so far.

***
Characterizing Weatherman as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology as follows:
"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."
Grounded in identity politics, Weatherman ideology and rhetoric rebelled against what later came to be known as America's
"white skin privilege."

Unfortunately, today we have 'respected' journalists like Time Magazines Michael Kinsley white washing away uncomfortable truths:
"Ayers and Dohrn never posed any real threat to U.S. national security."
When it became clear even to them that there would not be violent revolution in America,
Ayers and Dohrn shrugged and rejoined society in Chicago,
where he had grown up. It wasn't difficult.
While he was in hiding, his father was CEO of Commonwealth Edison,
the big utility. Ayers the elder sat on every Establishment board in town--
Northwestern, the Tribune Co., the Chicago Symphony.
Ayers the younger and his wife were welcomed back into the fold.
This is the second insult that emerges from the story of Bill and Bernardine.
They set off bombs and talked about killing their parents,
and the Chicago establishment didn't even care.


Kinsley also writes,

Other charges against Ayers and Dohrn were dropped because the evidence was tainted by the Nixon Administration’s illegal wiretaps.


Ain't politics grand? Without blinking an eye, Dohrn and Ayers are offered and they each accept full benefit of "white skin privilege" clemency. Could their support for black liberation theology be a form of penance?
***
About those wiretaps:

The connection between Ayers and W.Mark Felt, otherwise known as Deep Throat,
the formerly anonymous source who helped Woodward and Bernstein write the stories that led to the fall of Richard Nixon.
Deep Throat is a hero to the left for his courageous feeding of information to the Washington Post reporters.
However, before he revealed his identity W. Mark Felt was a reviled figure by the left.
Felt was an FBI agent who authorized illegal break-ins "black bag operations,"
against the friends and families of Weather Underground members like Ayers and Dohrn.
Felt was tried and convicted of violating their civil rights,
but was later pardoned by Ronald Reagan.


Ayers put it well: “Guilty as hell, and free as a bird. It’s a great country.”

If you nominate that fucker in the white dress for "Babe of the Week"...you'll lose all respect.

You telling me you don't think the Messiah is hot?

Michael Travis said...

Not...but then I am of a different, totally incompatible, faith.

Pastorius said...

Ah, your parents won't let you marry a Muslim boy, huh?

Michael Travis said...

Heaven forbid!

No...he'd have to be Jewish..

I have been wondering if anyone out there can do some research into Obama's "handlers". He appeared on the political stage very suddenly with 2 well-crafted biographies that he could not have possibly written, gets into Harvard Law with no apparent effort and no grades to speak of, makes it public office just like he was part of the machinery. Has anyone seen any of his university transcripts? Is Obama a straw man for the Saudis? Something is extraordinarily fishy about Obama. Who raises $100 million out of thin air? Who's injecting the cash? You can't get something from nothing.
