This just in, Muslims hate Obama too.

[VinnieKulick]

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Scores of Islamic students staged protests outside Jakarta's parliament and in at least three other major Indonesian cities on Friday against President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to this predominantly Muslim country.

The students carried banners branding Obama as an enemy of Islam and an imperialist in downtown Jakarta as well as in the provincial capitals Padang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.

They also threw shoes at large pictures of Obama's head. An Iraqi journalist was sentenced to a year in prison for throwing his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in 2008.

Protest organizer Ahmad Irhamul Fikri, spokesman for the Coordinating Board for Campus Proselytizing Institute, said bigger rallies will be staged next Friday in more Indonesian cities ahead of Obama's March 20-22 visit.

Such demonstrations of hostility toward Obama are rare in Indonesia, where he enjoys widespread popularity because he spend part of his childhood in Jakarta while his mother was married to his Indonesian stepfather.

Local government officials allowed business people to erect a statue of a 10-year-old Obama in a Jakarta park in December. But it was shifted last month to a nearby elementary school that he attended after more than 50,000 people supported a Facebook campaign against it and court action was threatened.

Obama is expected to sign the statue's pedestal while in Jakarta.

That should be a good thing, right?

Fucking republicans are never happy.

[vlad]

Heh...

Scores!!!!!!!! OMGZ....that's like 12 people apiece, how many scores? Two scores, three scores, 4 scores (and seven years... ), 5 scores? Heck maybe even 10 whole scores...that's like 120 people! In Indonesia! Indonesia, the country that has has a population of over 230 million, and the city where the scores of protesters gathered has nearly 9 million people in it.

SInce you seem incapable of supplying links I went and found the article:

As your posted in your comment, from the article:

And even the guy who spearheaded the facebook campaign to have the statue moved from the public park likes and admires Obama, considers him a very good man..he and the others just felt that a statue in such a prominent place should be reserved for Indonesian heroes....which I do not argue with.

Of course some Muslims don't like Obama...the Taliban, Al Queda, and various and sundry other crazy motherfuckers...they hate him.

This topic is pretty pathetic, go back to troll school.

Way to jump to conclusions about the motives of the post.

I was pointing out that they disliked him, just like they did Bush.

Well, apparently scores of them do! I got a feeling that this isn't the "proof" you are looking for in comparing the Muslim world's dislike for Bush to that of Obama.

So just like they did not like Bush is not quite apt. Just saying!

Not that it materially affects the point you're making, but a score of something is 20, not 12. Lincoln's "fourscore and seven" was written and said in 1863 about the Declaration of Independence 87 years earlier, in 1776.

What's up with these assholes throwing shoes? WTF?

Oh hell, you're right...where did I get that twelve from. Mea culpa.

Don't you remember when the Iraqi guy threw shoes at Bush? It''s a big insult in the Muslim world, like "You're something underfoot" or some such. It shows extreme contempt for whoever you do it to. That's been a known thing to the West since "Black Hawk Down", where have you been?

[Skate4RnR]

He's American. Of course they hate him.

[chickenona]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Never seen that one before. For some reason it hit me right in the funny bone. I've been laughing for five straight minutes.

Shameless threadjack: Hey, KABD, dude, how's that shower stall lookin'? I got some MONSTERS going on in my basement closet now. Found a seed on one (about four weeks into 12-12) and took her down before she could full-on hermie. We smoked the first cure last night and WHOAAAA....if this one is this potent at this immature stage, I'm starting to worry the other twelve are gonna be FATAL when we harvest them at full maturity. Strawberry Cough-Sour Diesel hybrids.

[Skate4RnR]

That is a classic dude. Right click, save.

[vanitybinge]

If I could embellish on this, he represents an imperialist nation much more than he does a socialist, fascist, capitalist, or any other. They hate him not for him, but for the Imperialist world-bossing reputation the USA has in many countries. It's nothing new.

[vanitybinge]

And we were told that his mere election would change all of that.

(cue old man shaking fist voice)Anyone who believed merely electing the man was enough is damn fool!

We've got troops in so many countries that "have problems" and "need our interference" well, excluding the Middle East for the moment, pull our troops out of some of these smaller countries for say, twelve hours, and then see if they still have a problem with us.

[SmokingGun]

Why not?

He is a Muslim sympathizer.

He has socialist and has communist ideals.

He is a Nazi-esque figure, look at the race divide between people who support him and people who don't. He is like a black Hitler in ideology, and promotes racist ideals like affirmative action.

And lastly, even though he is waging war, he constantly craps on about how he wants peace. And he won the Nobel peace prize.



That cartoon is one of the lamest pieces of political 'humor' that I've ever seen. It's not succinct, insightful, true, or even remotely funny.

Fuck it. I was going to respond to this respectfully but you're nothing more than a stupid piece of shit. You call Obama "Nazi-esque" yet criticize him for not hating Muslims the same way Hitler hated Jews. You don't know what socialist or communist ideals are, let alone the difference between them. Last, what kind of dumbass thinks war is good and peace bad?

Don't you wish you could go in a time machine and vote for Andrew Jackson?

No, we weren't.

Yes, we were. And you know it.

He's right. Rush said so.

[tin00can]

Don't know about that, but many on the left insinuated it before the election. And everyone knows it.

So which is it? Is it good that Muslims hate Obama or is it bad? Shouldn't you be glad all the people on the left were wrong? Rejoice in the crushed hopes of the unlearned, and all that stuff?

Heh...beat me to it. I distinctly remember Obama saying it would be hard going with a struggle ahead.

[tin00can]

As do I. I was referring to his supporters.

The dumbest of his supporters. That's like pointing out the "have a brain morans" guy as a typical republican supporter.

I don't want him to hate Muslims. I want him to hate Islam, a religion of violence and terror. But he doesn't, he bows to their leaders like an ass kissing pussy.

His health care plans are socialist. I fully support his health care reform plans, the current system isn't working for anyone but the big boys. But to call socialized health care anything but.. socialist.. would be wrong.

Last, he says one thing - "peace", but does another - "war". Quite simple, really.

[tin00can]

You don't want him to hate Muslims and yet you called him a Muslim sympathizer. Perhaps you can explain that.

[SmokingGun]

Muslims are brainwashed people. You could say the same for the followers of most / every religion, however, Islam is the most militant, violent, and discriminatory of them all. Obama, by bowing to the leaders of the billion+ brainwashed Muslims, makes him a Muslim sympathizer. No western head of state, let alone the President, should ever bow to another, as in western culture bowing has been an act of servitude for centuries, and continues to be one. Let alone bowing to the corrupt, violent, murderous Saudis. If they'd bowed back, it would be a little bit different.

But they didn't bow back, implying Obama is their bitch. It is irrelevant who the the guest is and who the host is, mutual respect would have meant that both parties bowed to each other.
