Did Obama Write Anti-Semitic Poetry?

| As a 19-year-old sophomore, Barack Obama had two poems -- "Underground" and "Pop" -- published under his name in the spring 1981 edition of Occidental College's literary magazine, Feast. If Obama wrote any other poems after that, they have not emerged. (Snip) O'Hagan, however, chose to notice. He points out that both of the poem's most conspicuous symbols, apes and figs, are mentioned in the Qur'an. Middle Eastern scholar Bernard Lewis has argued that although Muslims were relatively tolerant of Jews, there are at least three passages in the Qur'an in which Jews are denounced as

I think this is a stretch, even after readingt the entire thing. We don't want to be like the liberals, finding racism everywhere.
Sorry, Cashill loses me on this one.

Doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me. Given the resident's upbringing, of course he would be anti-Semitic. Couching it in the framework of his teachings would be only natural. Awful poetry is a great vehicle for it.

I knew a few Muslims when I was in grad school and they were all overtly anti-semitic. Although, they bristled at the term because they would tell you there are other semites in the region who are not Jewish. They would proudly tell you they were anti-Zionist.
Obama is a Muslim... if not practicing, he's a cultural Muslim. He's completely anti-Zionist/Jew.

Forget "Pop." Obama doesn't have the chops, poetically speaking, to have composed it.
Cashill's exegesis of the poem "Underground" is certainly intellectually defensible if not clearly definitive. Interpretation of poetry is fluid rather than concrete, art rather than science.
The biblical symbol of Israel is the fig tree, and after nearly four years in office, Obama's hatred of Israel, its seeds planted during his Muslim childhood in Indonesia (and afterward by Frank Marshall Davis, who is probably his biological father), is undeniable. Stomping figs, indeed!
Muslims, probably afraid to take a good look at their politico-religious ideology and projecting like mad, are wont to call Jewish people apes. Would it be particularly surprising if Obama had not internalized this malignant attitude, which dates back to the time of the Jewish patriarchs? His policies seem reliably inclined in that direction.

Boston and the nation have gone through a trauma and a degree of catharsis over the attack in Boston, and now the battle to define how we discuss that incident and the perps is underway. Media progressives openly hoped and predicted the perp would turn out to be a white male who followed Sarah Palin on Twitter, and are now trying to recover from the awful truth that Islam and jihad look like the motives. Yesterday in these pages, J. Robert Smith accurately predicted how the progressives would frame the accused

Honestly, even on Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday morning, Alisyn Camerota and Brian Kilmeade referred to the Brothers Tsarnaev as "boys." Boys? The dead Tsarnaev was 26-years-old. The captured Tsarnaev is 19-years-old. One was a man, the other a younger man, if a distinction is needed. Both were cold-blooded killers - that would be murderers of women, a boy (a real boy: eight-year-old Martin Richard), and a MIT law enforcement officer (an MBTA Transit Police officer was serious wounded).

The latest go-to publication of leftist sensibility, Salon, offers a hint of what the left´s spin will be on the two Chechen brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon, killing three and maiming scores. (snip) The Brothers Tsarnaev grew up in an environment of conflict and bloody violence, and are, therefore, victims. They are traumatized, not terrorists -- at least, not terrorists who are motivated by their Muslim faith even if that seems apparent. Even if it's proven that they have links to Middle Eastern or other Muslim terrorist groups

The word "prestigious" is being attached to the public high school serving Cambridge, Massachusetts in public discussion of Suspect number two, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin, and even won a scholarship. This meme appears to have originated in a blog published in the Weekly Standard (snip) We are trying to get a sense of exactly who Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is. I am afraid a somewhat misleading meme is being created. Maybe he was a boy-genius who excelled academically. But maybe not

Boo-hoo! David Sirota of Salon Magazine must be in mourning this morning, for the hopes he expressed in a piece titled "Let´s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American," have been dashed. One can only imagine he has plenty of company among members of the MSM who are smart enough not to admit their lust to blame their political foes for the Boston violence. Public opinion polls revealed that most Americans suspected the Marathon bombers were domestic ion origin, a suspicion one must guess they picked up from the wallpaper media, the MSM

Who in their right mind would even think of questioning accounts of politically momentous events (such as Sandy Hook) proffered by various MSM outlets? Well, at this point, many will agree that the MSM has dropped even the merest pretense of objectivity; MSM journalism has been fundamentally transformed into sheer advocacy. Here, we are going to do something the MSM won´t: provide context for the Sandy Hook event by conducting a statistical analysis of hard data on 30 years´ worth of mass public shootings in the United States.

A faculty member at New York State´s largest public university was arrested yesterday, espousing a very peculiar interpretation of the First Amendment. Laura E. Curry, an adjunct instructor of media studies, was incensed at a display erected by Students for Life in a space reserved for free speech. As first reported by Creative Minority Report: A University of Buffalo (SUNY) professor was arrested for screaming obscenities at an administration approved graphic pro-life display. While cursing profusely, she accused the pro-lifers of being "profane."

Those nasty conservatives forced us to cover the Gosnell trial That´s my translation of the New York Times headline, "Online Furor Draws Press to Abortion Doctor´s Trial." The piece by Trip Gabriel appeared on page A12 of today´s print edition, and finally brings inhabitants of the Times Bubble up to date on an outline of the most dramatic details of the testimony so far. But the main thrust of the piece is to avoid confronting the nature of the blackout, and focus attention on the role of social media and the paranoid anger of the right.

How many times did we hear reporters on the cable nets caution everyone about speculating regarding the perpetrators of the deadly attacks yesterday at the Boston Marathon? About as often as they proceeded to give their listeners the idea that it was "right wing extremists" who were behind the bombing. (snip)It takes a monumental effort to separate logic from reality and caution against blaming an entire religion for the actions of one or a few, while gleefully charging that an entire political philosophy and political party is at fault for those same actions.

This weekend´s much-discussed ruling by the Master´s to penalize Tiger Woods, yet allow him to continue play, speaks to issues far more significant than Tiger or the game of golf. How this is being discussed across message boards speaks to where we are as a society, and not all of it is pretty -- even on the right. Perhaps especially on the right. Consider: For any society to function and facilitate liberty, there must be some guardrails and reliably upheld rules and laws, because without such, chaos rules -- and liberty and chaos are simply not compatible.

Conservatives have studied Alinsky long and hard enough that they are starting to employ his rules against the legacy media establishment. In the face of the MSM blackout on the Gosnell trial, conservatives are fighting back with "a challenge to journalists never seen before," as Lucianne Goldberg put it today. Pajamas Media has established an anonymous tip hotline for media people to blow the whistle on spiking of coverage of the Gosnell horrors at their newspaper, TV station, website, or network. Alinsky´s Tule #4 instructs us: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

The fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is more applicable than ever in describing the environment in which we live. Each interest group, especially those interest groups on the left, is infected with the need to describe ever more frightening futures, regardless what their interest is -- environment, education, energy, medical care, or whatever else the cause du jour may be.(snip)Sadly, there seem to be a lot of people who haven´t heard of the fable the boy who cried wolf.

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21. We don´t have their names yet.

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

Federal law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility that the Boston bombers were known to the government’s terror-trackers, MailOnline understands. Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout.
