As the Middle East erupts in turmoil, Israel appears to be isolated both politically and physically. As Egypt calls for democracy, the resulting destabilization in the region has become a flashpoint for the rise of Islamic radicalism. Even so, a seismic shift in the extremists' confidence occurred long before the Egyptian uprising. America's enemies experienced a stunning revelation that their time had come as they, and the world, viewed the once unthinkable act of an American president bowing to a Saudi king. Obama's bow symbolized an undeniable sign of America's weakness and a crack in the armor of America and its ally, Israel. The call for a worldwide Caliphate is at its peak. Replete with Sharia law, its goal is the destruction of America and Israel. First and foremost, jihadi terrorists are waging a war of religions.
When it comes to protection, Israel can find no greater support than American Christians. Obama openly claims that he is Christian. Worldwide there is doubt. Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi called on Obama to openly embrace his Muslim faith and "be proud." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law reportedly declared that there is "an anti-Semitic president in America." Barack Obama can practice whatever religion he chooses. The issues are his universal misrepresentation of Christianity and the resulting implication of anti-Semitism.
Deep seated and deep-seeded ideologies influence Barack Obama from his deepest roots. Deep-seeded because he was born to Marxist parents and alternately raised by Muslim and Marxist mentors who implanted, according to his autobiography, a radical, anti-Western mind-set. Deep-seeded because he complacently spent 20-plus years listening to Marxist inspired black liberation theology and anti-Jewish diatribes as his pastor railed against Jews. No Christian or Christian church embraces the hatred of Jews. It is anti-biblical. Deep-seeded because those same years were spent fomenting socialist-tinged street and labor organizing. Opponents claim that Obama is the embodiment of America and Israel's growing menace, the combination of Marxism and anti-Semitism.
Obama's Christianity requires clarification. Obama blurs Christian doctrine with his own formulation of faith infused with his political agenda. Labeling it as Christianity is a blatant hijacking of the Christian faith. Muslim extremists know well about hijacking a faith. Islamists are well-attuned to the broad deception by this American administration to destabilize Christianity, muddle its doctrines, and reinterpret biblical scripture to fit a Marxist/Socialist ideology far from the intent of America's founding fathers.
Obama provides multiple examples of the attempted radical revamping of "Christianity" to suit political purposes. Obama openly declares he believes in "collective salvation," which is a combination of Muslim doctrine and Marxist collectivism. It rejects Jesus Christ's teachings of "individual salvation." Obama's "collective salvation" is not Christian. Obama's mantra of "redistribution of wealth" is a core tenet of socialism and communism that violates the 10th Commandment of the God of the Bible "not to covet" the property and wealth of others. Obama's hand-picked spiritual advisor has renamed social justice to "biblical justice" in an attempt to insert and erect a Socialistic-Progressive political agenda as a pillar of Christianity. The radical left started the hijacking process by creating their own churches under the pretense of practicing the Judeo-Christian faith. Instead they teach social justice - as in redistribution of wealth, socialistic control of the nation's economy, the green movement, global warming - as if such issues are mandated by scripture. It is a fraud against scripture and an attempted reinterpretation of the word of the God of the Bible. The question is, how does this undermining of Christianity impact Israel?
For Islamic radicals, weakening Christianity strengthens the Caliphate. While America's hope for Arab nations is the same republic form of government upon which America was founded, there is great danger in Obama's political and religious ambiguity and perceived Islamic leanings as they manifest themselves through increasingly violent attacks on Americans and Jews in the Middle East, increasing attacks on Jews and Christians in Muslim societies, and the deafening roar from the mosques for death to America and Israel. Obama's refusal to denounce Islamic extremism and Sharia law speaks volumes. In effect, Obama claims a belief in what is essentially a religion of confusion and dysfunction. It is part-Muslim, part-Christian, but equals neither. A multi-faith hybrid is being created to apparently lure the "faithful" into his political base while attempting to ingratiate various factions of Islamists worldwide. It does neither. The result is, true followers of Christianity are not fooled. Islamists show him no respect. Pandering to them is viewed as the ultimate weakness making America and Israel increasingly vulnerable as long as he holds office. If anything, Obama has given Islamists a renewed faith that taking down the United States and the annihilation of Israel in now within their grasp.

In addition to the heated global debate on creation vs. evolution, her second book, Darwin's Racists - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, highlights Social Darwinism's impact on America's political ideology today and its influence on current policy out of Washington. Reviewers proclaim "Darwin's Racists" a "Must Read," "Incredibly Timely" and "Perhaps the Most Important Book in Publication Today," as it addresses Social Darwinism's national influence with its Marxist/Socialist underpinnings that directly impact the fractious political, educational, religious, and social environment in America today.
