Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a Muslim
Israel Insider ^ | 06/13/2008 | Israel Insider staff

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.

Obama’s going to Kenya to campaign for the murderous Muslim-backed Odinga should be enough to bring him down. It would be- if not for affirmative action and white guilt.

I knew what Clinton was the entire time, but I was in the minority then. I knew that my vote for Senator Dole was worthless, but I cast it anyway.

The idiots who voted for Bill Clinton are of the same defective mentality as the ones voting for Obama.

There is nothing clear minded about them at all.

They are fools, all.

Is that quote accurate? Should it be “... to become dominant.”?

Now they have to kill him for renouncing the faith. Good thing he has Secret Service protection.

Unless he is practicing Al-Taqiyyah on U.S. in which case he is protected. Makes you wonder why the mussies all are backing him, doesn't it?

Taqqiya. And yes, Obama is a taqqiya candidate (cf. Manchurian candidate).

Correct the quote. It’s “dominant”.

Why should we believe what Malik Obama says (any more than Barack)? He wasn’t around when his half-brother was being reared.

I think the Asia Times columnist “Spengler” had the best take on Obama’s religion: Marxist.

Well he’s running to do Carter’s 2nd term. Sounds like he has a more than adequate replacement for Billy as first brother!

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)”

I just learned Obama’s step father, his mother’s second husband, was an Indonesian Muslim. (She really liked those Muslims!) There were a lot of Muslim men around in his early years. We’re at war with the Muslims and over half the people in this country are ready to elect one president. And I will always believe he is Muslim.

And, of course, don't overlook the importance of taqiyya and kitman, both forms of tactical deception and both part of Arabic culture.

Taqiyya is conceling one’s convictions.

Kitman is concealing one's intentions.

During the Spanish inquisition, Muslims, concealing their convictions, attended mass and returned home to wash their hands of the "holy water".

Today, taqiyya and kitman allow Muslim terrorists to assume whatever identity is necessary to fulfill their mission, e.g. to pretend to be Jews or Christians to gain access to Christian and Jewish targets.

Taqiyya and kitman give Muslims sanction to assume any form or commit any deception necessary in order to advance the cause of Muslim epansion.

What was he before he became a Christian? Probably just what his father was, a Muslim.

I'm sure you've seen this, it's curious how the American MSM hasn't investigated, only the BBC.

Malik must be part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, or at least part of the ruthless Clinton Smear Machine. Either way, this isn’t the Malik that Barry knew. And Islam is not the same as Barry knew as a boy. Malik isn’t just a random, evil email that just blew in to attack Barry.

His step-father appears to have been an atheist, and he never knew his sperm-donor father.

This fellow was in the hands of his grandparents by the age of 10.

So what is the point you are trying to make?

Malik Obama is going to end up sharing the same fate as Donald Young, Larry Bland and Nate Spencer.

Just another bullet riddled corpse that knew too much about Barack Obama's past.
