Obama's own website says the following:
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.
From that article:
“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.”
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
From that article:
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name ‘Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. … Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?
The answer is plain...we can't.
His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.
Footnote: All of this may help to explain the initial picture in this article of Obama that his half brother proudly displays of Obama at the age of 24, wearing traditional Muslim garb.

Well he is the scariest front leader we have had on the democrat side of a presidential election that I can remember. I was born in 1951
...not to mention that he is an abject marxist and militant anti-American.
Yes he is that.
What’s makes me mad is how Democrats get a pass on this sort of thing, like Chappaquidick, Sen. Byrd’s KKK background and Congressman William Jefferson’s corruption charges. The difference is when it’s a Democrat the MSM doesn’t beat it to death until they have to resign. If John McCain’s fifth cousin, twice removed, had, in 1937, walked into a KKK meeting, mistakenly thinking it was the Knights of Columbus hall, the media would pound on it until it became a constitutional crisis. That’s why we’re going to get an America/Jew-hating, weak, inexperienced racist for our next president.
You keep repeating me... ;)

Why was he registered as 'Barry Soetoro'? Why is the last name different? What is the relation of name 'Soetoro' to Obama?
Soetoro was his stepfathers name. His mother married hime after Obama, Sr. dumped her.
Who’s he running against? You never see much about his competition.
As I understand it, Obama Sr divorced his mother when he was 2 and she remarried another Muslim named Soetoro.
WOW.
me thinks they doth protest to much..........
Next thing you know they will have him bleached and tell us he never was a black person...........
What are they afraid of?
Half this bone head’s family are Muzzys including his brother. I have read eye witness testimonies that he used to pray devoutly in a Mosque. For him to say that he was never a Muzzy is patently ridiculous. He is both a liar and a former if not current Muzzy.
Soetoro was his step father’s last name I believe. The one his mother married after she and Obama’s Dad divorced.
We are both repeating the truth.
They arer afraid of the truth and what the majority of Americans will think of it.
Months ago I thought I heard from some MSM outlet that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity Baptist Church, Chicago, had not only baptised Omabas' two daughers, but had earlier baptised him. That story went away, really soon.
Meaning, to my rational understanding, that Obama had been something else before he became a Christian. And given his so-far substantiated biography, the before was definitely Muslim. So we wonder why he would want to kick women wearing Islamic headscarves off his public stage.
But here's a fun point: If Obama is a convert to Christianty from Islam, where is the Fatwa? To complicate the problem is the doctrine of takiyyah, which in Islam "sanctifies" a "holy lie." (I.e., a lie that furthers the progress of Islamic hegemony.)
If Obama actually resonates to this principle, then he is definitely unfit to occupy the Office of the President of the United States of America.
Most Americans are so brain dead and totally brain washed they just don't care. A "give away" socialist they want and that is what they will vote for.

The campaign could quickly clear these questions up by making the certificate available for inspection, but it won't.
Why?
Obama was clearly raised as a Muslim, but refuses to honestly address the issue.
Again, why?
The more I look at this guy, the more I think he really is a Manchurian candidate.
I pefer to think of him as the Meccan candidate.
The one thing I will say is that my keyboard seems less sensitive using Ubuntu than XP. Maybe my imagination.
In islam, it is permitted and encouraged to lie, deceive, and cheat the infidel in one's quest to spread islam.
Sorry...but most American are not brain dead. We proved that last time putting down Kerry...and with God’s help and a lot of hard work, we shall do so again with this charlatan.
Good point...and probably very close to the mark IMHO. Obama himself says that he is not clear on that point.
So, what do you call the millions that belong to the OOOOBBBBAAAAMMMMAAAA cult?
That's because Obama's ardent followers (including the MSM) are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth, and regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol and they the idolaters. His campaign media-blitz has been designed and engineered to evoke just such mindless hero worship without considering specific positions.
Those wild-eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the propaganda they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.
You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.
Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black, not caring to hear or look at his actual positions.
Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.
The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lennin for the dupes he got to support him.
Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans, of all races and creeds, who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.
Finally, understand that this is not the first time in history that rock-star, messianic status has been conferred on a populist, charismatic individual in order to hand them the reigns of power. Although there are many critical differences, still it is important when you consider the danger that this candidate poses to American foreign policy, our economy, our social fabric, and to the war we are fighting against fanatical Islamic Jihad terrorists, to note the following comparison:
Simply put, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.
Jeff, is anyone posting threads like this on the Democrats website? They’re the ones who need to know what’s happening.
Nowadays, I suspect he’s more likely to be your garden-variety Marxist rather then radical Islam’s Manchurian candidate (not that either one is good for this country).
MAny of the Clinton people who will not vote for Obama are doing so...and linking to my sites.
PING!
Idiots.
So ya thought ya might like to
Go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine
Is this not what you expected to see?
If ya wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise
--Pink Floyd--
Is that Obama Sr. in the photo?
I didn’t he had ever met his father.
It’s not LO LO. He was Polynesian.
Good question.
It is simple.
BHO’s father was muslim; therefore, BHO is muslim, at least in muslim law, or I guess sharia law.
But, that’s right.
He is, in the minds of most muslims, either an apostate or one who may, with blessing and forgiveness, lie for the greater good of the coming caliphate.
But, I don’t really think BHO will be a stooge for Amadinejad, Assad et al. He is way too arrogant for that.
btt
The Prophet Muhammad said, "Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people" (Qu'ran, 6;459).
He had to study LORAN?
Maybe in the Muslim style "I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee", "see ya".
More likely he just left, since they were never legally married, since he still had a wife in Africa, and he still had that wife at the time of his death, plus at least one other one, but that was legal in his country.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it also describes the left's MO to a tee. Which essentially restates an old saw: The ends justifies the means. SOP for the left, and since the dinomedia are fellow travelers, well, you get the picture...
Staying busy eh, Jeff???
Got to. word has to get out to as many as possible and we only have about 130 days left.
That site is taking a lot of hits today.
Admin Mod, could you change the "Loran" in item number 4 in the body of the article to "Koran"?
As always, thanks in advance.
Thanks for the ping!
