President Obama May Have Misrepresented His Holocaust Statement

The day after you, my President, gave a stirring speech in Cairo Egypt, I was shocked at how you strongly contradicted your comments in a film clip of an interview shown on MSNBC. When you were asked a question about your obvious criticism of President Ahmedinejad of Iran for his denial of the Holocaust, you either made a blatant misstatement or you demonstrated that you have no accurate knowledge about one of the more influential teachings of Islam about Jesus not being killed or crucified.

President Obama, soon after your speech in an interview in which you emphatically stated that: “I have no patience with people who deny history?” Whoa Mr. President! Stop right there! Are you actually proclaiming that when one billion, five hundred million Muslims publicly deny the documented public execution of the Messiah Jesus, they are not denying history?

Don’t you really mean that you have no patience with people who deny the horrible historical Jewish holocaust? But in contrast to their denial you do have adequate patience in your patience reservoir for one billion five hundred Muslims who each strongly deny the well documented public historical death of the Messiah. This is the now Risen Messiah who the GOD of the Old Testament, according to the New Testament’s teaching, specifically sent into the world in order to experience death for every tribe, people and nation.

Is it not true Mr. President, that you are aware from living in Muslim Indonesia, that all Muslims are required not to believe in the historical documented public death of Jesus? But for political reasons you could only get by with being upset with historical holocaust deniers? But you could not mention that you are not upset with the absolute denial of what Christian theology considers to be one of the two most important events to occur in GOD’s dealings with man, the death of the Messiah. And the second is his supernaturally being raised from death by the Creator/GOD.

In order to publicly rebuke the Iranian President for being a holocaust denier, you emphasized a broad generalization about you having no patience with people who deny history. But you had absolutely no intention to go into detail to support your broad generalization. For the fact is that your generalization does not agree with the historical tradition, but would be a major political disaster for you not to be extremely patient with your main target audience of one billion, five hundred million Muslims. For they just happen to each deny one vital half of the most important historical event to occur in the Creator/GOD’s dealings with man, the death along with the subsequent Resurrection of His Messiah. But to complicate your impatience philosophy with deniers of history, this huge number of Muslim deniers of history just happens to be your target audience so that you must avoid offending them. (One billion, five hundred million is quiet a large number to offend with one comment.)

So, Mr. President, in your politically expedient rush to condemn holocaust deniers, you and your usually efficient staff allowed, to quietly slip by you, one billion five hundred deniers of the exceptionally relevant extra-judicial execution of the founder of the world’s largest religion-Christianity. Significantly, without that very relevant death that is steadfastly being denied by your huge target audience, the world wide Muslim community, there would neither be Christianity as we know it and there would also be no United States for you to be President. Also there would be no United States to support Israel against the Palestinians. For any serious study of our nation’s establishment reveals that it was those who sought to freely worship and serve the Messiah who died and rose, who are the persons who came to these shores who established this nation. So Mr. President, the Messiah’s death and resurrection is really is quite a big deal. Also it is very relevant as to whether that death and the subsequent resurrection actually did occur because those conjoined events truly effect and impact our complex Middle East situation today. There is no one who can deny that those two events of the Messiah’s death and resurrection are inextricably linked in history to our original existence as a nation on these shores. Additionally, given your own heritage, it is quite likely that if Rev. Jeremiah Wright had not helped link you to the death and resurrection of the Messiah, you would not have been elected President.

Therefore, though it was obviously politically expedient, it does not seem fair or appropriate that you would justifiably hold the feet to the fire of the already fiercely unpopular Iranian President Ahmedinejad in your support of formerly murdered Jewish holocaust victims. But you would also let slip into irrelevance the fact that every member of your all Muslim target audience would be given the benefit of the doubt and not be also mentioned for denying history. But the fact is that each and every Muslim does deny the very history on which your nation and your Presidency are founded; the death and later the resurrection of GOD’s Messiah. But I will face the harsh reality that political expediency is seldom fair. But at least be honest with someone and with yourself and admit that it is political expediency that makes it OKAY for all Muslims to deny the apparently less significant and less relevant historical death of history’s most world impacting Jew. But it is not politically expedient for you to refrain from exposing and condemning the horrible crime of holocaust deniers.

Yes, Murder

For those readers who may become annoyed with me for often emphasizing that GOD’s Messiah was not only killed but that he was actually murdered by Jews, this is an emphasis that I feel obligated to make. For we lose the necessary emotional impact of horrible events when we use softer euphemisms to describe them rather than dealing with the ugly reality of such a horrible event as murder.

Therefore, I use the Scripture’s main historical document, the Book of the “Acts of the Apostles” as my source to document the Messiah’s awful murder by that day’s Knesset, their Jewish governing body, the Sanhedrin. So for those who wish to protest that I am purposely stirring emotions against Jews by using the term “murder,” I point out that U.S. judges do not say, “First Degree Killing” but they do say, ”First Degree Murder.” So I will quote from three different versions of the Bible regarding what was officially testified before the official Jewish governing body, the Sanhedrin, (Today’s roughly Israeli equivalent to the Sanhedrin is the Knesset. It is In the Knesset where national policies are established such as policies against Palestinians such as illegally colonizing illegally occupied Palestinian land and even approving of brutally murdering Gazan Palestinians, etc.)

So the following quote before the Sanhedrin (See Acts 6:12,15…) just minutes before the officials of this Jewish governing body became so enraged that they gnashed their teeth, screamed and together ran at this Christian Deacon, Stephen, as he officially testified before them about the Messiah’s murder and other murders. Then they immediately dragged Stephen out of the city and as a group, viciously stoned him to death. His official words about the murder of the Messiah had been: “Was there ever a Prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous one (Isa). And now you have betrayed and murdered him.” (New International Version – Acts 7:52)

“And they have killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers.” (Acts 7:52 New King James Version.)

“Of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers.” (Acts 7:52 Old King James Version.) (Please see Mark 14:55 and Matthew 26:59.66 regarding Jesus also appearing before the official governing body, the Knesset/Sanhedrin, for these same men to condemn him to death.) But President Obama, you and your aids amazingly dismissed this murder of the world’s only Messiah because it was not considered as an historical death by one billion, five hundred million Muslims. So you did not consider their denial as a significant enough denial in order to be considered a denial of history. So perhaps we should turn to Shakespeare and consider you and your staff’s failure to notice millions and millions and millions of Muslims denying history as one of Shakespeare’s “many a slip between the cup and the lip.” But aren’t you ignoring such a great number of slips by Muslims, that though Shakespeare may not notice, GOD does notice?

I sincerely believe, Mr. President, that at the very core of your own reason for being a Christian is your own intellectual conviction that there was almost two thousand years ago a non judicial historical murder committed on the outskirts of Jerusalem by Roman occupying soldiers who had been manipulated by the Jewish official governing force, the Sanhedrin. So there is considerable historical consensus that this murder actually occurred. In fact, I would assume that among your several Jewish White House colleagues, that the majority of these men and women are intellectually convinced that an itinerant preacher named Jesus was crucified and caused to die by the Roman occupying force with the complicity of the Jewish leaders of the time. So your Jewish colleagues would probably not seriously disagree with you on the fact of his death. But they would probably disagree with you on the more belief based and slightly less historical fact basis for his historical resurrection.

President Obama, I have enormous respect for you that borders on love. So I do not believe I would hesitate to give my life for you. Significantly, in the majority of my professional career as a high school counselor, I have consistently had the pleasure of working under the leadership of Afro-American Principals while serving in schools composed of primarily inner-city Afro-American youth.

I believe that you, your wife and your oldest child as well as your brother-in-law at Oregon State University would enjoy reading the poem I wrote about fifteen years ago regarding newspaper racism in Seattle against University of Washington Husky football players. This racist issue had historical roots. I felt so strongly about the gross injustice of racism against Black Husky football players that I mailed a copy of the poem to every college newspaper in the United States. Amazingly, years later I received a unique response from Biloxi Mississippi where in 1938 when I was five years old, I observed the first racism toward Blacks. That was when I saw where my grandmother Tute’s part time maid was forced to live in shameful conditions. “Still in Chains” is still on my website.

Similar to how you have apparently had a calling from GOD to be our President, I have become 100% convinced of my own specific calling. But although my former religious tradition of Plymouth Brethren was exceptionally conservative, and had no emphasis on the supernatural except in the Bible, and virtually no emphasis on justice, the more I prayed for an understanding by Islam of the Messiah’s dying and rising, the more I received identifiable supernatural interventions in my life. These interventions finally resulted in our family with five children spending three years in Riyadh, Taif and Jeddah Saudi Arabia. So I was shown that I was to use my very limited abilities as a writer to help especially Mid-East Muslims to come to a new perception about how two key verses in the Quran could also be understood in such a way so that even the Quran’s Risen Messiah should also be the Risen Messiah of Islam. So this new understanding that I believe I have made an overwhelming case for, would have significant implications for the relationship of the West with Islam and influence overall Mid-East political stability.

So in my website writing I emphasize the actual intended true meaning of these two key verses. But at the first reading this intended meaning is not the obvious meaning that the two verses appear to initially convey. Significantly, they at first appear to dogmatically teach that the Messiah did not die so that there could not have been a victorious resurrection since he appears to have avoided dying. So that is the common belief since the superficial interpretation is always forced upon the Muslim reader of the Quran.

In fact, this calling to concentrate upon this new more logical understanding of these two verses was reinforced by an amazing series of meetings I had with five or six retired Saudi Generals. This occurred as a result of my employment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Even though I was a virtual nobody in Riyadh and an insignificant employee in the food company where I worked, as a result of concentrated prayer, our Risen Messiah miraculously arranged something very special for me. I met for four or five consecutive weeks for over an hour each time with these retired generals. We did nothing but discuss the potential meaning of these two verses, I did 98% listening and less than two percent talking because that is how it is when a nobody is talking with generals.

So having now studied, considered and prayed about this significantly relevant issue for 32 years, I could not personally handle the cognitive dissonance caused by your own casual dismissal of the very real and relevant reality that one billion, five hundred million Muslims have been strongly conditioned to totally reject the historical fact of the very real and successful extrajudicial execution of GOD’s Messiah.

President Obama, you must know that all practicing Muslims have been subjectively and explicitly conditioned to believe that one isolated verse in the Quran must be understood superficially and literally. So to make certain that there is belief agreement, Muslims are forced, manipulated and/or coerced solely on the basis of the literalness and psychological force of this one isolated verse to totally reject the historical fact of the death and being raised to new life of history’s most significant and pivotal person; GOD’s own Messiah. Thus, every Muslim person is de facto coerced by Muslim leaders to be on a collision course with your not denying history hardnosed philosophy. Yet, with the belief of the U.S President that even though the Muslim may not even realize that according to you, no muslim should not publicly articulate a religious belief which blatantly denies established historical tradition.

The Injustice of the Israeli Factor

In 1988 a Colorado oil millionaire with numerous Israeli and Palestinian friends and contacts both in Israel and in the illegally occupied West Bank called me and invited me to accompany him on a trip there. The kind invitation was based on his reading of a book that I had self published entitled “Sound the Alarm from Saudi Arabia.” From this reading the open minded oil man thought that the book’s contents’ revealed that I had mediation skills. This was even though he did not know that in my profession as a Seattle Public School Counselor I had been chosen by representatives of the students, faculty and parents to be the school’s first ombudsman. So I became only the second ombudsman in the entire large Seattle school district. (An ombudsman is primarily a mediator or arbitrator who attempts to resolve disagreements that are potentially problematic between individuals with different points of view.)

In the Middle East that summer (of the first Intifada) I had no opportunities to resolve any different points of view. But I was introduced for the first time to what I viewed as fairly blatant and undeserved hostile attitudes toward Palestinians by a high percentage of the Israelis and especially by the police and by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). As a result of what I observed, my heart broke for the Palestinians, leaving me very disillusioned with the Israelis. But up until the time of my first visit, I had viewed the citizens of Israel as a people with a strong commitment to Justice. Nevertheless, that stereotype was soon shattered by the Israeli arrogance, callousness and a pervasive attitude of entitlement that I thought that I observed. Consequently, I ended up writing a fairly comprehensive paper entitled: “ALLAH Sees the Israeli Felony” which became the first of 194 papers I have written for my website. This terrible injustice that I observed on a daily basis for about two months soon combined with the unfair massive tilt toward Israel that appeared to be in the U.S. government policies in favor of the Israelis and against the Palestinians. So my own U.S. government seemed quite favorable toward the Israelis and unjustly antagonistic toward the Palestinians. This was combined with the U.S being calloused and unsympathetic to the Palestinians’ suffering and the deplorable conditions in which so many lived with no chance to fulfill reasonable and legitimate aspirations that were normal for a displaced, persecuted and exploited people to deserve and consider themselves entitled to. So I found these factors to be very personally disillusioning.

Until my first hand observation of the gross injustice I observed occurring on a daily basis to the Palestinians, I had previously assumed that my main role that GOD had led me to be involved in was only to help Muslims to better understand the true intent of the two previously mentioned verses in the Holy Quran. I had become totally convinced that a close examination of these two verses revealed that together they taught from a Quranic perspective the certainty of the death and resurrection of the Messiah and were actually more consistent with other verses in the Quran. Yet, a superficial reading of them caused Muslims to wrongly assume that they cancelled both the Messiah’s death as well as cancelling his ALLAH empowered Resurrection.

But despite my definite calling to help Muslims understand this insight regarding these two profound verses, one special supernatural experience along with others revealed an additional new responsibility and calling to speak up for GOD’s Justice and to strongly speak against U.S. injustice toward Palestinians by supporting unjust Israeli policy. So I now had my new responsibility to expose gross Israeli injustice toward Palestinians while continuing to help all Muslims realize that the Living Messiah of the Quran was their living Messiah who yearned to be invited to personally reside among them, and maybe even to fry some fish for them in their kitchens. (Please see John 21:5-13 and Revelation 3:20 in the New Testament.)

Unsuccessful Attempts to Demonstrate the Truth about Two Profound Verses

So then, President Obama, I realized that these two main strands of my two explicit callings from GOD regarding theology and political and social justice had become woven together and could not be separated. Including my most recent writing I have especially concentrated on using different methods to help Muslims perceive that it is ALLAH’s Himself who yearns to liberate Muslims from the counter-productive consequences of their wrong understanding of these two profound verses. So to accomplish this I have tried various, up until now, unsuccessful approaches.

1. I emphasized that Muslims can now be proud of the Quran’s Messiah for being victorious over death and no longer view him as an escaper and avoider but now see him as an overcomer and a victor.
2. I also attempted to help Muslims realize that they were acting criminally against ALLAH and against the Quran when they purposely and explicitly disobey verses in the Quran. For instance, the Quran states more than once that it confirms (Al-Baqarah 2:41, Al-Imran 3:3, Al-Ma idah 5:48) the teaching of the earlier Scriptures. Yet these Scriptures emphatically and repeatedly again and again teach in numerous ways the death and resurrection of the Messiah which all Muslims are required to totally reject. So even though Muslims acknowledge that the Quran confirms earlier Scriptures and that those Scriptures do clearly teach the death and resurrection of the Messiah, Muslims have contrived another way to cancel all of this seemingly solid reasoning supporting the Messiah’s death and resurrection.
3. They claim that the Quran teaches that the earlier Scriptures that the Quran confirms, no longer exist because the Quran supposedly teaches that those previous Scriptures have been changed and corrupted. However, the only thing the Quran states along this line of the Scriptures being changed is that the Jews corrupted their written Scriptures with their tongues and not with their pens. Nevertheless, I believe I came up with a valid, reasonable way to prove that the Jews did not change their Scriptures.

The Bible’s Clear Teaching That Some Israelis Ate Their Own Children

So I wrote an entire paper listing eight or nine Old Testament short passages about the Jews eating their own children. So I then point out that since there were such humiliating passages about Jews eating their own children in their Scriptures, any persons who were involved in changing the Scriptures would have most certainly taken out those embarrassing passages. So there may have been many crimes committed by the Jews but one crime that they definitely did not commit was changing their own Scriptures.

I have presented on this website several papers enumerating very logical interpretations along the lines of explaining about how a major intent of AN-NISA 4:157 and 158 was to ridicule and expose the ancient Israelis for being total failures at accomplishing their evil plan and definite goal of ending the Messiah’s life forever. So they were foolish to even think that they had accomplished their wicked goal. Because from the true meaning of the words kill and crucify, the Jews had not truly killed or crucified him because ALLAH had actually cancelled the natural outcomes of a person being killed or crucified by giving him new life. So it only “appeared to them”-“shubbiiha lahum” that they had permanently killed him, because three days later the Messiah had been raised up alive so that he was walking around in their midst and he even fried some fish and ate it with them. So in the ordinary meaning of a person being killed and crucified, persons who have truly been killed or crucified are not doing the things three days later and certainly not for the total 40 day period that many saw him doing. So they had definitely neither killed nor crucified him.
