| What is common to membership in the Jewish AM and the Muslim UMMA is in its connection to Divinity. What God decrees cannot be overturned by human decision. The transmission of membership in the community of Islam is patrilineal and in Judaism matrilineal. In the history of conquest by one tribe over another into the present day, the male conquerors usually conquer the seed of their adversaries. Israel thus changed from patrilineal to matrilineal to survive conquerors like the Romans. In Sharia, Barak Obama`s Muslim identity is inescapable and irrevocable. Now he too should be aware that as far as Islam is concerned he is indeed an apostate, the Arabic of which comes from the word for "Black." |
