"The main problem in the Muslim world is the presence of the United States. It is the biggest problem. We need to address that," he (Khamenei,) told a gathering of Shiite and Sunni scholars in Tehran for an international conference on Islam. "It is necessary to remove the US from the Islamic world," the all-powerful cleric and Islamic republic's commander-in-chief said, adding that the country's arch-foe was currently weak. “Khamenei urged Muslims worldwide to preserve the "people's movement in Egypt," saying it was the duty of both the people and dignitaries of Arab nations and the entire Islamic community. “He reiterated that the Arab revolts were "Islamic" and must be consolidated.”Obama-like scholars will argue that, although Islam is at war with America, it is not necessarily true that America is at war with Islam. That logic may have merit given Obama’s blind eye to the truth and stubborn refusal to face reality!

John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
