Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to refer, because they have no doubt -- contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given.
As the Jerusalem Post reports, "Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background. In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya."
The Obama brothers' father, a senior economist for the Kenyan government who studied at Harvard University, died in car crash in 1982. He left six sons and a daughter. All of his children - except Malik -- live in Britain or the United States. Malik and Barack met in 1985.
In a remarkable denial issued last November that still stands on the official campaign website, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs issued a statement explaining that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."
Apparently Malik Obama, himself a Muslim, had not read the press release.
Melanie Phillips is the most recent commentator to draw attention to the massive body of evidence that leaves no doubt that Barak Hussein Obama was born a Muslim (Islam is patrilineal) and raised a Muslim (so registered in school, acknowledging attending Islamic classes, reported accompanying his step-father to the mosque, and able to recite the Koran in the original Arabic).
Reuven Koret, Aaron Klein and Daniel Pipes have previously pointed to the attempts by Obama and his campaign to conceal the candidate's Muslim background. The well documented evidence draws upon the on-the-ground interviews by researchers in Indonesia and Kenya, published quotations of Obama's childhood friends and his school records, as well as the candidate's own autobiography.
It is not clear whether Barack Obama will now disown his half-brother Malik, or throw him under the campaign bus, for acknowledging that shared family background. In any case, some one should notify "Fight the Smear" tout de suite. Perhaps they can get him with the program.
Distraction! Not helping my kids!
They think that truth is relative anyway and the game is who can fabricate the best lie. Once they get into power, their lies become the Government Line to be enforced by jackboot thugs.
Why are we even concerned if Obama is a Muslim?
We have allowed these barbarians to immigrate by the planeload for, I don’t know how long, and we have given Islam privileges we do not grant other religions while we bend backward and forward to kiss their asses.
Will someone please explain to me why it has become such a big deal if Obama is a Muslim or not? What if he were a closet Catholic? Jeez that would really be bad.
Besides, are not all religions equally good and is his not THE ROP? I remember this opinion being spouted at one of the State of the Nation speeches.
Just asking.
The SAME can be said of the John Mc Cain campaign and George Soros!!
Barak says his brother is a smart-Alik!!
I would like to hear and maybe a book could be written about Barak’s Dramatic CONVERSION!!
Was he touched by an ANGEL??
Hells bells, didn’t we all know that, too? lol
A man who willingly tells lies about his family (IE, how he was raised) would probably lie about virtually anything.
Since when did any clear minded American think that a pathological liar belongs in the most powerful office in the world?
I hear ya! I don’t know what I’m going to do in November...I really don’t.
I would suggest you buy a few good guns and as much ammo as possible before November. It isn’t going to be pretty. Based on historical precedent, it will probably be bloody. Might as well go down fighting when the government killer squads come out to kill you, rape your women and steal your children.
But I guess it can’t happen here. I mean, we haven’t had terrorist attacks here, either.
I’m going to go to the polls ,vote for McCain and pray really hard for this country.
“Since when did any clear minded American think that a pathological liar belongs in the most powerful office in the world?”
Hmmm, let’s see. Plenty of “clear minded” Americans voted for the guy who squirted on a blue dress while in the Oval Office. Ah, yes he had a cold and sneezed.
They’ve already stolen the children and turned them into unthinking, socialist robots. See “public schools”, fools.
Remember his present pal jSkerry"s form 180???
“Since when did any clear minded American think that a pathological liar belongs in the most powerful office in the world?”
Bill Clinton was a pathological liar, but that’s ok, he a dim, just like Obambie. Dim’s don’t let the facts get in the way of the truth.
Now they have to kill him for renouncing the faith. Good thing he has Secret Service protection.
I was thinking that, actually. Perhaps he’s afraid of that and does not want to admit that he was ever a Muslim because members of the death cult that Bush calls a “Religion of Peace” might come after him.
I’m considering doing the same, but every time I resign myself to that fact, he comes out with another butthole comment. It’s gonna be really hard to pull that lever!
Go to ‘The Obama File’ (Beckwith). The evidence of his being Muslim is overwhelming.
