Obama's Muslim leanings obvious

We keep hearing it over and over in recent months: "Why won't President Obama call the conflicts in the Middle East 'Islamist" or 'Terrorist'"? As more and more beheadings and killings go on, it seems necessary to look at some facts. Absolutely, all Muslims are not terrorists. But, we are talking about a radical strain of Islam. I've thought a lot about this and have come up with what I believe is a very strong possibility.

Decades ago the Jesuit Order of the Roman Catholic Church said: "Give us a child until he is six and he will never depart from the faith." It has long been reported that Obama was raised and educated in Muslim environments early in his life. The second factor is: His father's family and relatives on his paternal side are likely to be Muslims.

Put that all together, and does that give reason to draw the conclusion that it's likely difficult for him to say anything negative about Muslims? We can't deny him the right to have some strong feelings about his family ties, but he must surely remember that he ran for this office. Twice he has sworn to place the United States to be his prime concern, and he has sworn to make the safety of our citizens his primary task.

Does this make as much sense to you as it does to me?
