Chapter 36: In 2009 President Obama Cited the Treaty of Tripoli in remarks he made while in Egypt to Assure the Muslim nations that the United States of America is not nor ever was a Christian Nation. And, to add insult to injury, when President Obama quoted from Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli President Obama Elevated Islam to the level of Christianity.
Just as it was with President Adams in 1796, so it was with President Obama in 2009 when President Obama added to the sins of our Forefathers and like President Adams, he too “Trampled on the Cross of Jesus Christ.” |

President Obama and The Treaty of Tripoli: The Treaty of 1786 between Morocco and America bears witness that Morocco was the first Arab nation to recognize America as a nation, a detail not lost on President Obama, as he referred to this treaty, as well as the Treaty of 1796 between America and Tripoli, in his address to the Arab nations when he spoke at Cairo University on June 4, 2009.
The Moroccan Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States and the Moors was signed by Thomas Jefferson in Paris and John Adams in London in 1786 and ratified by the Continental Congress in 1787. Significantly, the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship was signed by two future Presidents of the United States: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
The Treaty of Tripoli was signed in 1797, just ten years after the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. President Adams and the Senate (unanimously) signed this treaty. More to the point, America’s government was united in their beliefs that America was not in any sense founded on Christianity. Adams and the Senate made that clear! And, the sentiments of President Adams were echoed by another President of the United States of America: President Barak Obama! |

I’m including the following excerpts from two articles: a post made by the White House of the remarks made by President Obama at Cairo University in 2009, and excerpts from the San Diego Union-Tribune concerning this speech. |

Remarks by the President at Cairo University, 6-04-09
Remarks by the President at Cairo University, 6-04-09 THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary (Cairo,Egypt) ________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 4, 2009
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON A NEW BEGINNING Cairo University Cairo, Egypt
Excerpt: I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President, John Adams, wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims." And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, they have served in our government, they have stood for civil rights, they have started businesses, they have taught at our universities, they've excelled in our sports arenas, they've won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers -- Thomas Jefferson -- kept in his personal library. (Applause.) ………………..
So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America. And I believe that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race, religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations -- to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God. These things we share. This is the hope of all humanity. End of Excerpts |

News Article from the San Diego Union-Tribune
NEW YORK —
President Barack Obama showed respect for Islam by quoting from the Quran in his speech Thursday but did so in a way meant to resonate with Christians and Jews as well.
The passages he chose from the Muslim holy book had meanings that were universal in their appeal. He also referred once to the Talmud, the collection of Jewish law, and quoted a verse from the Gospel of Matthew. Both underscored the Quranic verses.
“The Holy Quran tells us, ‘Mankind, we have created you male and a female. And we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another,’” Obama said in the Cairo address. “The Talmud tells us, ‘The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.’ The Holy Bible tells us, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.’”
To gain a hearing in Islamic society, Obama was wise to go beyond geopolitics to make some reference to religious tradition, scholars said. Religion is closely connected with the state in the Islamic world, unlike Western society where church and state are separate.
“Obama’s taking that step, showing familiarity with the Quran, is the palpable demonstration of the respect he went to Cairo to show,” said Burton Visotzky, a professor of interreligious studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.
Obama, who embraced Christianity as an adult, had a Kenyan father who was Muslim. As a child, the president lived for a time in predominantly Muslim Indonesia, and noted his experience in the country in his address. Imam Yahya Hendi, a Georgetown University chaplain who specializes in Quranic translation, said the first Quranic passage that Obama cited effectively framed a frank speech. The president said, “As the Holy Quran tells us, ‘Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.’”
“It says, ‘I’m going to be truthful,’” Hendi said. “It says, ‘Sometimes the truth is painful. I’m going to take you to it and some of it will be painful.’ For me, that was good.”
He noted a passage that Islamic leaders often cite to dissuade Muslims from using religious teachings as justification for suicide bombing and terrorist attacks. “The Holy Quran teaches that whoever kills an innocent,” Obama said, “it is as if (he) has killed all mankind.”
Obama also referred to a miracle called al-Isra, or the Night Journey, a significant event from the Quran. According to Muslim tradition, an angel took the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and the heavens, where Muhammad prayed with the prophets, including Moses and Jesus. Obama noted the al-Isra story in the speech when addressing the future of Jerusalem, saying the city should be “a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together.”
He continued, “There is one rule that lies at the heart of every religion, that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.”
Paul Martindale, who teaches Islamic studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, a prominent evangelical school near Boston, said Christian minorities in predominantly Muslim countries likely would find Obama’s religious plea naive. Many Muslim countries do not allow religious freedom and have persecuted religious minorities.
But Martindale said Christians understand that Obama’s goal was political, not religious, and he praised the president for making a distinction between extremists and other Muslims.
“He addressed all the issues and problems head on. He was not skirting anything,” Martindale said. “Obama very effectively addressed the idea of stereotypes on both sides. By going there and speaking directly to them, he has, I hope, made a beginning for getting a microphone in these societies.”

In April of 2010 God opened the door for me to Rebuke President Obama for Trampling on the Cross of Jesus Christ:
And, that brings me to April 2010 when the Lord opened the door and I personally rebuked Barak Obama who professes to be a Christian – yet like President John Adams, Trampled on the Cross of Jesus Christ!
The following pictures are of me when I personally rebuked President Obama citing the Tripoli of Treaty in remarks he made while in Egypt to assure the Muslim nations that the United States of America is not nor ever was a Christian Nation and to Justify Elevating Islam to the level of Christianity. I personally rebuked Barak Obama who professes to be a Christian – yet like President John Adams, Trampled on the Cross of Jesus Christ!
I personally reminded Barak Obama that as a Christian he is to be an Ambassador for Christianity not Islam who is opposed to the teachings of Christianity and that he should choose either Islam or Christianity. |

Following are four “Screen Shots of Windows File Explorer” including preview panes of the Word that I gave to President Obama on April 27, 2010. However, as the date on the Screen Shots reflect, I didn’t actually post the Word online until February 2011. The four Screen Shots are Excerpts from the Word that I gave to President Obama – the Word was much more detailed and can be found at “godsfaithfulnesstothe house of skene-skeens.net/House of Skeene – Chapter 12. |
