Associated Press has revealed that Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States, attend a Catholic school in Indonesia registered as a Muslim, further clouding the issue of where Obama was schooled in Indonesia and when. Obama, by his own admission in books that he has written, has said that he attended a Catholic school and a Muslim school while living in Indonesia with his atheist mother and Muslim stepfather. But now that Fox News reported that Obama may have been indoctrinated in Islamic teachings while attending the Muslim school in Indonesia , he and his handlers have gone spinning the story to the news media, and their stories do not match up.
Obama is claiming that the allegations by Fox are “scurrilous” and that he believes people “recognize that the notion that me going to school in Indonesia for two years at a public school there at the age of 7 and 8 is probably not going to be endangering in some way the people of America.” Associated Press is reporting that the Muslim school Obama attended is a public school, open to people of all faiths—this according to the spokesman for Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious affairs who goes only by the name of “Sutopo.” Records show that Obama attended a Catholic school first and then the Muslim school. When he was ten years old, he moved to Hawaii and attended a private secular school.
There are many holes in Obama’s story. First, if he attended the Muslim school when he was seven and eight, which school did he attend when he was nine and ten, if he first attended the Catholic school? There appears to be a gap in his education or a miscommunication about what school he attended and when he attended it. Associated Press reports that Obama’s mother relocated to Indonesia from 1967-71 after marrying Obama’s Muslim step-father—who Obama claims was no longer Muslim, but an atheist. The Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where Obama first attended school, enrollment documents, however, show Obama enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs says he isn’t sure why the Catholic school document had Obama listed as a Muslim. Gibbs told AP, “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.” While the spokesman is denying that Obama was never a Muslim, Obama, himself, has not publicly said he was never and is not now a Muslim.
What can Americans expect of a Muslim-educated Obama? AP writes of its interviews at the Muslim school in Indonesia, “Those tied to the school say they are proud to have had a student like Obama, and hope that, if he is elected president, his ties to Indonesia will broaden his world perspective and his views on religion.” Indonesia is home to some of the most radical Islamic schools in the world. And Obama’s identity is yet to be revealed as the confusing doubletalk hides the real Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States .
Obama, the stealth Muslim candidate?
But,,,,,,,, I heard them say that is was a MODERATE Muslim school, so it's all okay. If only I knew the difference between a MODERATE Muslim school and a radical one...
I believe that we're headed for a political trainwreck in this country.
If he were a Muslim, would he admit it? Allah taught that it was acceptable to lie if it helped the Cause.
that's what he is hanging the explanation on - the defintion of the word "madrassa".
where are these documents?
"Obama, the stealth Muslim candidate?"
I don't think so. But few will vote for a man with the name "Hussein".
Would these names have won in their time?
George Milosovich Bush.
Harry Tojo Truman.
Warren Kaiser Harding.
The front runners are a Muslim, A Clinton, and a Gun Grabber.
What a mess we have in store for us.

If he was once a Muslim and is now a Christian he is a candidate for the death penalty as an apostate.
Thank you for your opinion, Senator Biden!
***Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs says he isn’t sure why the Catholic school document had Obama listed as a Muslim. Gibbs told AP,***
The Catholic school document has him registered as a Muslim nore than likely because that is what his parents registered him as. Certainly at 7 or 8 he wouldnt be registering himself.
If they registered him as Muslim that is more than likely what they wanted him to be.
I have seen claims that his mother was atheist , now they claim his step-father was atheist,
There were 900 Republican files, those we heard about; but in total there were 2200, those not Republican must therefore have been Democrat or non-affiliated.
Barack was not on the political scene when Hillary had access to the FBI - so, she does not have a file on him, and his inner circle, most likely.
I've been reading that Al-Qaeda is offering prayers for Obama so that he'll be elected.
I don't feel good about this man at all.
"If he were a Muslim, would he admit it? Allah taught that it was acceptable to lie if it helped the Cause."
Probably only admit it if he were elected. Then more actions than words.
The muslim manchurian candidate.
But I did preface it with... "but he's a credit to his religion."
