Resumo
In this paper, we discuss the relationships between the discursive rhetoric and the political action of US President, Barack H. Obama, with respect to one of the more decisive element of international politics in the contemporary world: political Islam. With this aim, since political Islam is set as the political interpretation established on the basis of religious creed, to address this issue we analyze the religious and philosophical substrate of Barack H. Obama’s political strategy, as it has been disclosed by himself: the Christian Realism of the American philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr. Finally, we study the linkages between the political discourse of Barack H. Obama referring to Islam, sustained in the aforementioned Christian Realism, and the effective political action developed over the Islamic world during his presidential terms.
