USA Muslims' Personal Candidate. By the way, I reported the Odinga-Obama link many weeks ago on this blog.

Obama: Islam's a wink and a nod

****UPDATED***

Over at Islamica magazine, they are acknowledging what the few of us fighting the great fight have been saying all along. Hussein Obama is Islam's  candidate. They call it a wink and a nod but shhhhhh don't let on to the fat, lazy infidels. (...who never peek beyond his words to find that there's no realistic, acceptable substance.)

Expect the fantasy mongerers in the mainstream media  to continue to scrub and whitewash (no pun) Hussein Obama's Islamic bonafides. The rabid fervor by the leftarded lemmings is Hitleresque.

THE AMERICAN MUSLIM COMMUNITY'S OBAMA PROBLEM   -- Islamica Magazine

"He is a man of diverse ethnic background who seeks dialogue over war, who can credibly represent change given his independence from establishment politics and whose life story suggests an intimate understanding of the Muslim world. In many ways he represents more than Muslims could have hoped for given the radioactive nature of Islam in America over the past several years.

For many reasons, Muslims are one constituency Obama does not want to court. With a wink and a nod, Obama's Muslim supporters continue to work for a candidate who cannot afford to wink back at them.

Given his perceived "closeness" to Islam, and the fact that he shares a name with a former Iraqi dictator, it could be strategic suicide for the Obama campaign to vocally acknowledge organized Muslim support.

At a time when endorsements are worn like badges of honor, no major candidate is looking for the Muslim vote....in terms of public perception, Muslims are a whole other category of disrepute. We are not talking about a Muslim candidate, we are talking about supporting a candidate who denies any connection, real or perceived, to Islam.

This is a political reality that Muslims in America must face. It is a clear demonstration that the collective efforts of Muslim institution building over the last 20 years have largely failed to make any real progress when it comes to impacting the American political process, at least at the national level. Muslims have found the perfect candidate, but cannot vocally support him for fear that if they do, they may be the reason he loses.

If Muslims do not want to suffer the indignation of political irrelevance for many elections to come, instead of giving money to politicians, they should start investing in journalism scholarships. They should establish fellowships for Muslim academics to take a year off and write a book for a general audience, and then back them up with a PR firm to get the book on a best seller list.

Muslim have invested in a handful of advocacy groups that, to their credit, work extremely hard to bring a "Muslim" slant to whatever breaks in the news that day.

(Right. The group is called CAIR. Got it. AEM)
