President Obama is a Christian.
What he means by that no one has ever been very sure. But it is what he claims nonetheless.
When callers to my radio shows claim, "He is a Muslim." I remind them--quickly--that he has only ever said that he is a Christian.
This usually then incites various discussion points about the validity of his claim vs. theirs.
Frequently the conversation will dwell upon the fact that his name is Islamic. To respond to this I simply point out that many former Muslims still carry their given name upon conversion to Christianity.
They may say, "He seldom attends church." A valid point and weighty criticism but still not an essential element to one being a follower of Jesus Christ as Messiah to secure one's salvation.
They will say, "He has treated Israel miserably." Another valid point, but far from being a core component of what defining oneself as a Christian truly is. (Though Christians do stand in solidarity with our friend and only ally in the region.)
They may criticize his former "pastor"--and well they should--because he is not a practitioner of Biblical theology. They may question the evidence of spiritual fruit in his life--yet he appears to live a life with his family that many in local churches can't seem to master.
They may say, "He has said things in the defense of countries (that are not our friends) that appear to be pro-Islam." Of this there is no argument.
This week he even went far out of his way to say that America is not at war with radical Islam.

” I remind them—quickly—that he has only ever said that he is a Christian.”
Obama quote counterpoint: “While it is true that he (McCain) has not spoken of my Muslim faith.....”

Obama is a Communist, Atheist, Muslin sympathizer.
You don’t actually READ FreeRepublic, do you?

Obama is a despotic thug. I detest and loathe everything he stands for, and at a recent neighborhood association meeting, I gave one Obama fan a good intellectual ass-kicking. Just another tax and spend libtard.
This week he even went far out of his way to say that America is not at war with radical Islam.
Which is an odd take on reality, considering that the group we are attacking has ISLAMIC as the first word of the name they identify themselves by.
You’ve got to remember Obama’s pal James Clapper saying the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ was a largely secular group. These folks are clowns and Obama is the head clown.
Good for you.
I’ve also given a few libs a verbal butt kicking recently.
Explaining how they’re selfish really irks them.
Pretty lame Kevin. You slight thoughtful arguments (and arguers) by picking the “low-hanging fruit” arguments that few actually bother with.
In the final analysis it doesn’t matter what we think are Øbozo’s religious convictions (if any). The moslum world believes him to be a fellow traveler and that’s all that matters.
In their eyes he’s either a faithful islamist practicing taqiyya in the infidel world or he is apostate (a non-practicing islamist or an islamist who has converted to something else). In either case he’s screwed.
Øbozo has killed a crapload of moslums - and in the most cowardly way. This has made him a larger target for revenge than anything GW ever did.
The fact that he’ll never sleep a sound night in this lifetime strangely comforts me.
Oh? What about those that change their western name to a Muslim name? Barry Soetero became Barack Hussein Obama by his own choice.
I love that the left wants us to take Ubama at his word that he is a Christian and not a muslim. Would that they would use the same logic when Trent Lott says that he is not a racist but an egalitarian. But Trent saying some innocuous gracious things at an old man’s birthday proves that he is a racist, no matter what else he does or says.
The left, geez.

The bottom line is his father was a muslim. That makes him a muslim unless he denounces Islam. And lying and saying he’s a Christian is not denouncing Islam.
I agree with you.
“...and lying and saying hes a Christian...” IS Taquiya=Lies told to advance Islam.
BenghaziBarrySoebarkah has been lying since BEFORE day one.
Which brings us to the letter "N." ("Nun" in Arabic...) It is the letter that--in the world of Islam--stands for a term of severe disrespect--The Nasrani--the ones who follow Jesus of Nazareth. (Not dissimilar to the "n" word that represents racial degradation in America.) Though it is not a racial term, it is a term of abject dishonor, disrespect, and even death.
Nasrani. Sound like my kinda folks.
:’) Except that, if they could shoot, it would help.
Well, of course. You have true wisdom. Amazingly, most of islam has been killed by islam, rockrr.
Sometimes, defense, just ain’t in the cards.
