Obama Intervenes in France, Seeking to Undermine

 Secular System's Struggle Against Islamist Menace

Is Barack Obama the leader of the free world or the Muslim world?

Neither a day nor an occasion can pass, it seems, without the President of the United States seizing an opportunity to either defend organized Islam, which has been taken over and become synonymous with right-wing political Islam, also known as Islamism, or condemn Israel. Today was no exception.

AP reports:

President Barack Obama says he's not responsible for how other countries defend religious freedoms but added the United States would never tell people what they can wear to express their faith.

Obama on Saturday met with French President Nicholas Sarkozy and said there should not be separate standards for different religions or limits on faith. It was a familiar refrain from his Thursday speech to Muslims in Cairo.

The issue of religious expression is a challenge in France. The country's separation of church and state is so staunch that schoolchildren cannot wear Muslim head scarves or large crosses around their necks in public schools.

Sarkozy says France is a secular nation; Obama says individual rights should not be limited.

Back in the USA, a burka-clad Islamist crashed a remembrance rally for an American soldier who was murdered by an Islamist on American soil. Click here for the story, and below for an eyewitness video report on the incident.
