the new president is blessed from Allah (169)
lusciousmile: That's why i asked what she thought ( read my first post).
You didn´t ASK, you IMPLIED.
That´s how it all started. Elementary, my dear Watson.

Ambrose2007: Moema is correct. The OP only congratulated "America" and expressed her happiness. That's all she wrote. The rest is interpretation. Perhaps she was thinking all kinds of terribly anti-American things, but there's no evidence for that in the original post.
I think they way Moema choose to express her "support" was the cause of much of the argument. The OP remained mostly silent.
This is a sensitive subject for many Obama supporters and probably for Obama to as he was attacked with this in an attempt to discredit him and say he was a terrorist supporter or worse.
There are too many Americans who still think this after being brainwashed for many months with this information. One of my fears is that some yahoo will take it in their head to assassinate him for daring to be a "secrete" Muslim and take the presidency away from a "good Christian"
Can you see why this is a rather inflammatory statement now?

There's a question mark in my first post. Remember punctuation?
Anything else i said, was my opinion, not an attack.
YOU attacked us.
Don't try to compete with me, english is my national language.

What statement was "inflammatory"? Objectively, there is no such statement in the OP's first post.
However, I can see why someone might be sensitive to the *possibility* that such an endorsement would open a can of worms, given the Muslim controversy surrounding Obama.

hollysaffron: dear Lusciousmile,under islamic low,if your father isMuslim,so are you.And once muslim,always the muslim.you have to understand that.
That is just doctrine and dogma....and not heeded by people who think for themselves.....my mother is jewish...and the law in judaism is that if your mother is then so are you......i don't consider or feel myself to be jewish nor do i subscribe to any religion, labelling only serves to limit and seperate us !

Apparently, we shouldn't share our views on the thread, and should just clap and leave.

Sky, I am an Obama supporter myself. I am concerned as much as you are that there might be a murder attempt. I understand your sensitivity. I expressed my support in the way I know how, which is reasoning, and I do get frustrated when people make assumptions on what´s been said instead of reading and taking the words as they have been put. There´s NOTHING in the lady´s post to make anyone belive she´s provoking. I´m not sensitive, so I could see it. But that´s just the way internet works, I guess.
Anyway, I calm down just as fast as I get mad. Will you take my apologies? Everything you said to me except the last post was also on the basis of reasoning, and I respect that.

she does however use Allah in the tittle my man... there is enough "open to interpretation" for christians to find ire ... you think?

lusciousmile: That's the point.
So you admit there´s been sensitivity and that explains your reaction to the original post?

B, if she said the tulips in Queen Elizabeth´s garden are blesed by Allah, would you assume the flowers are Muslim, or the OP considers the flowers Muslim?
See, she´s not implying anything. It was her way of saying GOD BLESS OBAMA, WE´RE HAPPY BECAUSE IT´S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR US. Only she calls God Allah. What´s wrong with that?

Can't we just say...he was blessed by a higher being and get on with it!!???

You have just apologised to Sky, but seem rather anxious to fight with me.
Everyone on this thread has shown senstivity, either because of your posts or the reasoning given by Holy, so why are you aplogising to them?
Wait, don't answer.
I made my point, over and over, now you can either accept it, or move on. Just don't try to control me.

Agreed - that doubtless implied a certain message to some. We're kind of sensitized right now - in America, at least - to mentions of "Allah" (which is just another name for "God," btw). However, if someone had started a thread with "God Bless Obama" or something equivalent, there would be no controversy here, right?

Yeah i know...ego's frequently get in the way of discourse....it's not just a net/thread phenomenon, happens in every nook and cranny of daily life.....but if we communicate our views and experiences in a non-confrontational and peaceful way we are often heard

I apologized to her because I think we´re settled, but I still have one more point to clear out with you. I´m figuring you out. You´re next in line for apologies after we´ve sorted it... I don´t do group apologies, sorry!!!
