Obama's STEP-FATHER was associated with a VERY RADICAL MUSLIM GROUP.

Period.

Do I think this is important?

YOU BET I DO!

It is important for OBAMA to state his separation, and if you go to his church's website, you will find a church that, under the cover of God, promotes racism.

Read their pledges.

There is NOTHING about America there-but lots about Africa.

This isn't about roots, tho, it is about hating and fighting the rotten Americans, you know the ones, the ones that BEAT BACK SLAVERY while it CONTINUES in Sudan, Africa. (Oh-and you won't find anything on this church website about fighting out against the horrendous slavery in Sudan or the killing of Christains there)

Go for it nyc, and contemplate someone who MIGHT be MUSLIM in the worst sense, might not be-I know-but it would be NICE to hear it from OBAMA considering his grandfather and step-father's past, considering Obama's arabic name, and considering how our pasts influence EACH OF US, Obama is no exception.

Barack Obama is a member of a liberal, Afrocentric congregation. You can question that if you wish. But that doesn't make him a Muslim.

Look --- there are tons of reasons to vote against Obama. He's pro-abortion. He has raised Illinois taxes and will vote to raise ALL of our taxes. He's the worst kind of liberal --- an intellectual liberal dressed in moderate's clothing, in the Illinois tradition of Paul Simon.

But he's not a Muslim. That his ancestors may be Muslim isn't relevant. He has openly professed his Christianity. And he has written about his life in his book and hidden nothing.
