However, that does not mean that the president cannot be an Islamist–one
who supports fundamental Islam. In fact, it’s hard to look objectively at his
foreign policy without reaching that conclusion. His support of Foreign Terrorist Organization Hamas in its
barbaric attacks against Israel is one obvious example–but only one
of many.
Still, in this age of political correctness, many might
hesitate to pin such a label on the president. Unless you’re Allen West.
According to the Daily Caller, West recently said just that.
West says it’s the only logical way
that he can find to explain many of Obama’s foreign policy decisions.
The retired U.S. Army lieutenant
colonel cites six examples of Obama’s Islamist foreign policy, including his
support in Egypt for the Muslim Brotherhood–the group from which Hamas and
al-Qaeda originated.
Obama also recently lifted a
30-year-old ban that prohibited Libyan nationals from attending flight schools
or nuclear science programs in the United States, which West points to as
further evidence of his Islamist bent.
“The pivot away from the Middle East
seems to be nothing more than an opportunity to enable Islamists and their
goals,” the former Florida congressman wrote in a recent column. “The only
plausible explanation for many actions taken by President Obama and his
administration is that they are working counter to the security of the United
States of America.”
West could be right, although his
claims of such wanton treason seem a bit extreme. On the other hand, so are
this president’s actions in ignoring the best interests of America both at home
and abroad. And West is certainly not alone in his belief that Obama is
orchestrating these crises.
There is, however, one other
plausible explanation. We should remember that, prior to his five years in the
White House, President Obama had essentially zero executive experience.
He may simply not have the first
clue about what he’s doing.
