For the next few weeks, I’m going to be showcasing highlights of Obama Exposed!, a report by the nutty conservative blog Human Events about the man even they admit is probably going to be the next president of the United States. We’ll start with Chapter 17, by Robert Spencer, author of - wait for it - The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), entitled “Our first Muslim President”? [Emphases added]

The Los Angeles Times reported recently that Barack Obama’s campaign seems to be modifying its earlier affirmation that “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago.” In a statement to the Times, the campaign offered slightly different wording, saying: “Obama has never been a practicing Muslim.” The statement added that as a child, Obama had spent time in the neighborhood’s Islamic center. His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama’s grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both of the schools he attended.

If this is true, Obama could possibly be charged with being an apostate from Islam… Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, ordered that apostates from Islam be put to death…

So is Barack Obama under a death sentence? Probably not…

it is virtually inconceivable that there will be protests in the Islamic world over his apostasy, or calls for his execution. The Cartoon Rage and Pope Rage riots were orchestrated from above. The people who orchestrated them know enough not to shoot themselves in the foot. Muslim leaders worldwide will not be saying, “He was raised a Muslim. Isn’t that terrible?” They’re more likely to say, “He was raised a Muslim. Isn’t that wonderful? At last, someone who can see our point of view.” Given Obama’s politics, it will not be hard to present him internationally as someone who understands Islam and Muslims… our first Muslim President.

We can only hope that, if he does become President, he won’t propose to do this only by means of various varieties of appeasement.
