Interesting article Award Winning Arab-American Comedian Dean Obeidallah in response to an article by Frank Gaffney about whether Obama is part of the Muslim Brotherhood or not!
Parts of the article that I really liked!
The term “Muslim” was becoming a slur that I feared would end up becoming like the “N” word. In time, non-Muslims wouldn’t be able to call us Muslims, instead you would have to call us a politically correct term like: “Pork free-Americans.”
Look, George W. Bush was a “super” Christian and he sucked as President. Was it because he was a Christian? Of course not. Would Bush have been a better President if he had converted to Islam? Or if he had become Jewish? Or even started praying to “The Jonas Brothers?” Honestly, It couldn’t have been worse.
While I know that President Obama is a Christian, I hope that one day- just to taunt the right wing haters – he goes on TV and says: “Guess what, you’re right – I’m a Muslim: Salama Alaykum, bitches!” (Of course this won’t happen, but I’d be cheering!)
