In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.
Salaam (Peace) to all.
When I found out about recent controversy regarding The New Yoker's depiction of Sen. Barak Obama and his wife, Michelle, as "terrorists", I was hurt. "This," I thought, "is a new low for white people". But the truth is, it's not "new" at all.
The reports I have read surrounding this "event" seem to suggest that it's "not that serious", because it was simply "satire" - albeit "distasteful".
Some argue that the imagery was intended to provoke thought. Others maintain that it was a deliberate exaggeration of the position of the critics of Sen. Obama.
However, I think there is a more sinister motive at work here.
White people -- particularly those who, in their minds, "own" America, and do not want a black face on their symbol of power -- will do anything to prevent Obama from getting into that seat.
Sen. Obama has made it clear to the public that he is a Christian, on several occasions. Yet those who are blinded by fear and paranoia continue to try to associate him (and his wife) with the socially engineered "enemy" of America -- "terrorism", which is a political code word for "Islam".
If they cannot stop him by "association" with "evil" (manipulation of public opinion), they would likely then resort to attempts to physically harm him and/or his family. History is replete with examples of such tactics.
It appears that the rulers of this nation have succumbed to a sort of "functional insanity", where paranoia has taken the seat of Reason, and Reason is made to serve paranoia. The result can be no less than disastrous, for both the government and citizens of America.
America is, indeed, in need of Divine Guidance, and now faces Divine Destruction.It's going to take more than a "Black President" to save this nation.
