Obama and Islam
I was just reading Foxnews.com and I found out there is a controversy over the new logo of the Missle Defense Agency. Here is the link: Link
Here is the new logo:
It has a “crescent and a star design” which is a common “symbol for Islam” as you can see with this logo:
Coincidence?

0.0 wow ..just a little coincidence?….or not -.-
haaaaaa!
Maybe. Why what’s wrong with islam?
Haha. Coincidence? Yes, yes it is.
Kind of a wimpy looking logo considering who it’s for.
Slowly but surely, Obama is creeping into our lives. It won’t be long until he starts mandating we pray to him. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
rofl
the fact that it’s coincidental with Islam, is that a Horrific coincidence? please justify, Thanks.
He’s a towel head. Eat his children.
OMG, the Iranian Space Agency’s logo is red, white, and blue! Iranians should be concerned about the insidious Westernization slipping into their culture by secret Americans!!!
Oy… Stupid stuff. Who the f cares?
It reminds me of the Starfleet insignia
lol
We are all doomed.
I don’t think they look anything alike…
Fox is right. He’s a terrorist.
Maybe that’s who the missile defense is supposed to protect us from? lol
It looks like a missile impacting the blue crescent. Not very subtle.
this means that american don’t have original ideas even to make logo?
why does the missile defense agency need a “logo”?
Yes, because Obama comes up with these ideas himself…
Looks more like Obama’s campaign logo.
duh. ‘course it is.
@seeker_nyc - It doesn’t remind me at all of the Starfleet logo. Actually, it looks more like IDIC from the planet Vulcan. Live long and prosper.
@Ricardo98 - thats what i was thinking
The problem here is you were reading Foxnews.com.
Omfg. Who cares. That was rhetorical.
That has to be a coincidence. That’s just too politically incorrect not to be.
gotta say, at first glance i did think it was an Islamic logo.
It’s a crescent and a star – very common symbols in the colours blue and red. Who cares? Would people like to point fingers at which country is copying another country when it comes to their national flag? Anyone? How about everyone with the Union Jack bicker together and everyone with stars on their flag so the same? The ones with just stripes on their flag can argue with those who have the same colours as they do… like France and Russia.
Geez.
Get over it.
How about you focus on something more worthy of concern like his jacked up healthcare reform plan.
@Loser_Lizzy - Fox News one of the least biased news stations? Okay… and it would be better if he got it off of CNN or MSNBC? Please. Those stations need to stop sucking Obama’s dick and start calling him out on his bullshit.
Brilliant strategy! We change all our logos so theirs will look like OURS in order to make them have to change them to keep from looking like soft, American symapthizers, costing them more money and soiling ther reputation as an evil regime among their own people! Now even the hard-line terrorists will be rioting in the streets against them!
@mathematicalbagpiper - Because it’s harder to make jokes about that. hehe
I’d say it was a coincidence.
@RedheadAblaze - Honestly :S

@lil_fire_bella - I’m not sure if I got the sarcasm across on that one lol
@RedheadAblaze - hahaaa, sorry. Sometimes I forget I’m online. I meant honestly I couldn’t agree more!
Who gives a shit? People care about the dumbest things.
You’re right. That looks 100% Islamic. Obama didn’t design it though. They should expose who did! Have you heard about the same difficulty with the Pennsylvania memorial for the 9-11 plane shot down there. We should find out. It’s pretty insulting.
People are ridiculous.
@seeker_nyc - I was just thinking it reminds me of the Vulcan IDIC symbol
“It’s ridiculous,” Lehner told Fox News. “It isn’t a new logo to
replace the official logo. It’s a logo developed for recruiting
materials and for our public Web site. Also, it was used prior to the
2008 election and it has no link to any political campaign.”
–from the Fox Channel article
we are soooo screwed ! we had better get serious. you think 9/11 was bad !
They don’t look THAT similar..
It’s probably not a coincidence. The government has been putting mason/illuminati symbolism on things for centuries, why not start with some islamic stuff?
Well I can guarantee you it’s not in support of the Muslims. Perhaps it’s a hint that hey, we want to kill Muslims. Honestly, I just wish people would understand that Obama is NOT a Muslim and he will never be one.
Meh, it resembles it. But whatever…. it’s not like Obama designed it himself. Smooth move, though…. whoever did design this. Eek.
First of all Fox news rocks..Second of all Obama is truley a lost indivigual with misguided agenda bought on by the Biltburgh Group who is foucused on a one world goverment. Don’t belive me look it up. This stupid symbol is just another small crack in the strengh of the United States
@Aaliyaan - Right…Keep on smoking that crack. Follow his trail as a child he was a practing Towel Head. Oh and buy rhe way he has STILL not produce a birth cert. as reqired by law. exsplain that one
It’s just a matter of time. And they count on people like a lot of the ones here to look over it. It’s just a matter of time.
@catman517 - Oh I didn’t say I support him. I don’t agree with any of his “change” or whatever that crap was he spoon fed America. I pay more taxes than the average American and I don’t even qualify for 90% of the crap I pay for. I’m all for him showing his birth certificate.
Oh and we Muslims find the term, “towel head” to be derogatory, just some information from THIS practicing “towel head.”
A reach, is what I think it is.
In fairness, the Missile Defense Agency may have changed their logo to resemble the “Hope And Change” Obamunist logo because they are trying to save their project funding, by subtly appealing to Obama’s vanity. I could understand that, given the arrogance and ego of our Marxist Man-Child in office.
Those of you who forgot what the Jimmy Carter years were like (or who were not around to live through them) are getting a remedial history lesson.
Because Islam is so terrible?
No doubt about it!
They’re defending against missiles from the Iranian Space Agency, makes sense to me.
Both images just look like the globe with a rocket flying around it. The MDA is obviously a blue circle representing the planet with a defense rocket flying around it (red stripe, re beer). The Iranian Space Agency’s symbol, given that it is a logo for a space agency, also just looks like the planet, which artistically subsides into a shuttle trajectory, with the red circle obviously representative of the sun. Besides, a crescent and a star? Very common shapes…is someone insinuating that the McDonald’s “Mac Tonight” commercials from the 80′s support terrorism? There’s a singing crescent and stars all around him!
Where do people even come up with this stuff? All of these conspiracy theories and stuff. It’s like “6 Degrees of Separation” has become the MO for the conservative network. And what does it do? Causes arguments and hatred, and for no reason. You could let Castro into the Whitehouse and we would still be a democracy! Our country is too educated to be anything but that. Everyone just needs to get a life and give the guy a chance to do something. Can anyone tell me what Bush accomplished his first year in office? Well, for one thing they let warnings of a severe terrorist attack go unheeded…Obama’s already done better than that, and people tend to forget that our hole was already dug before he took office…first we gotta pull ourselves out of it, and THEN we can start refilling it. It’s gonna take time, and people want miracles. When will everyone pull their heads out of their asses and start working together, not just as a country, but more so as a world, to make sure that we all live in peace and abundace? Selflessness beats Selfishness any day of the week.
As a designer, I am just going to say similar, but not that similar.
I think not.
@catman517 - Once you can form a comprehensive sentence where every other word is spelled correctly, your opinion will be a lot more relevant. Anyways, his campaign has long released a copy of his birth certificate. Maybe you should sniff his trail of life yourself, that way you can prove to yourself how ignorant and disgusting you sound.
From Obama himself:
“My father was from Kenya, and a lot of people in his village were
Muslim. He didn’t practice Islam. Truth is he wasn’t very religious. He
met my mother. My mother was a Christian from Kansas, and they married
and then divorced. I was raised by my mother. So, I’ve always been a
Christian. The only connection I’ve had to Islam is that my grandfather
on my father’s side came from that country. But I’ve never practiced
Islam. … For a while, I lived in Indonesia because my mother was
teaching there. And that’s a Muslim country. And I went to school. But
I didn’t practice. But what I do think it does is it gives me insight
into how these folks think, and part of how I think we can create a
better relationship with the Middle East and that would help make us
safer is if we can understand how they think about issues.”
Sure, they look similar. But it makes sense.
Lol! Missile Defense agency you said? I see the similarities, but to me, the new logo looks more like the missile comes from one side of the globe, and then hits on the otherside, like a perfectly guided missile or something. And the end result is an explosion, not a star. But that’s just me. Like saintvi said earlier, pretty much what I just said, it looks like the missile impacted the crescent. Though, they could have done a lot better. It isn’t exactly something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. They should get the public to make an insignia for this one. Government has no imagination. As long as things make a big “BOOM”, they’re happy.
@Nellie0x -
You can call me all the names you want or belittle me anyway you can think of. The facts do not change, Obama did NOT give his original birth certif. it was a copy that was altered. You have been buying his load of garbage for the past 2.5 yrs. Your generation believes in one thing, what does society owe me. You have never been taught to work hard and to be satisfied, you always want more, more and more doesn’t matter who pays for it. What have you done in your life to focus on others? I’m leaving tomorrow and using my vacation and spending a week in Cameron LA. to help rebuild houses from the Katrina Hurricane.
This president is a disgrace he refuses to salute the flag. He had the cross covered while he gave his speech at Norte Dame University.
You back your facts up instead of buying in to the left wing crap. Oh and by the way, I read the back of the book and we win sorry to bust your bubble.
Have wonderful day.
@catman517 - What have I done? Well, that’s none of your business. It’s not only my generation who always wants more, that’s how humans are in general. Props to you for helping others but bashing your own President and being the least patriotic person won’t make your life any easier. What do they call people like you… oh yeah, a smearist. Back my facts up? How about you back yours up.. You sound really ignorant.
Not coincidence. Interesting how so many people, even here on your xanga, choose to act like an ostrich.
/shrug.
I must appreciate this great post. keep posting more articles like this. I really enjoyed that.
