Republicans Fuel Rumor That Obama Is Muslim (barf alert)

One of the most striking parts of Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama was his accusation that Republicans have helped spread the rumor that Sen. Obama is Muslim, and turned the word into a smear. “I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion he’s Muslim and he might be associated with terrorists,” he said.

Some Republicans took umbrage at the comment, saying John McCain and Republicans haven’t directly made such an accusation. Jonah Goldberg, a writer for The National Review, said it was a “low and dishonest blow,” and asked: “Is there really much evidence that the GOP or the McCain campaign have had anything to do with the stories that Obama is a Muslim?”

First, Gen. Powell noted that Sen. McCain himself has never intimated that Sen. Obama is Muslim. And he’s right about that. Neither McCain nor his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have suggested such a thing, or even referred to their opponent by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama. At one point, the campaign fired a volunteer who had told voters that Sen. Obama is Muslim, and a recent video showed rank-and-file McCain supporters chastising an anti-Muslim McCainian.

Hillary Clinton arguably stoked the rumor more directly than McCain when she said during the primary that Sen. Obama wasn’t Muslim “as far as I know.”

What about the Republican Party itself? There’s no evidence that the national Republican Party has driven, coordinated or even overtly encouraged the Obama-is-a-Muslim line.

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:

“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.
(Oh REALLY, Hussein? If you’re so proud why did you leave Islam? Answer; you didn’t. Your ‘conversion’ to ‘Christianity’ was for political expediency)

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO (YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”
(Why is your campaign denying and lying about this when you admit it in your own books?)

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.
(Lolo was a practicing Muslim)

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..
(He has already proven that. He went to Kenya to campaign for his Islam-backed murderous cousin, Odinga ( he had a pact with Islamics to force sharia law on the country if he won the election), - who instigated riots that when he lost the election causing over 1500 deaths (including 50 Christians burned alive when their church was burned).

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
(In your dreams, Hussein. We are still a Christian nation)

In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”

Obama describes his new found “Christian” faith as: (1) Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth (3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible with all other religions.

On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet? “

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.

THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING:

Pop quiz: Who said the words, “My Moslem faith”? Hint: It wasn’t a Republican. If I had to pick either Moslem or Christian as Osama’s religion, I’d go for Moslem. No matter what he says, he doesn’t demonstrate the slightest hint of Christian faith. But it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter if he’s Moslem, doesn’t matter that he’s half-African. It matters that he’s an anti-American Marxist troll.

You are correct on all counts!

I might add that Barry Soetoro (aka Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama) registered at the madrassa (muzzie school) in Indonesia as a muslim.
Also, why did Hussein change his name [in adulthood] to add the muzzie name "Hussein".
