In Your Dreams, Obama...



In an interview in France, Obama makes the factually dubious claims that based on Population the United States would be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.

Is he living in the same country that we are? Where are his statistics to back up what he's saying?

Most estimates peg the US Muslim population around 6 million which would place us as the 34th largest Muslim country in the world.

Debbie Shussel cites a reputable Pew study to estimate the number of American Muslims at 1.6 million, this means that while 78% of our population is Christian, we are not a Christian nation and yet with only .6% of our population claiming Islam as their faith we are actually a "muslim country."

It is interesting to note that Obama is willing to throw the term Muslim Country around but rejects the term Christian Nation.

    It's chilling. Our Christian history counts for nothing? Our Christina forefathers? I always thought Obama seemed a little disconnected from American history. I can't remember him ever referencing the principles on which our country was founded, etc. And then there's Michelle's lack of pride thing. This "muslim country" thing was bizarre.

    The words of his mouth create history as I've been told by an anonymous, name calling lib on my blog.
    The messiah speaks, and the facts magically rearrange themselves to suit his point of view, according to the mainstream media.
    I wonder how his gay rights and abortion on demand agenda will square with thinking Muslims?

    Well, I'll bet dollars to donuts that we have more Muslims than Antartica, more than the principality of Monaco, and more than the Duchy of Lichenstein.

    So, yeah....we're one of the countries with the largest number of Muslims living within their borders....when compared to other nation states.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
