You know it's funny that he swears up and down that he isn't a muslim when he has recited the shahada.

"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.”"

The call to prayer that 0bama talks about is called the adhan. The adhan is the shahada plus additional sentences calling muslims to the mosque.

Here is the adhan:

"God is The Greatest

God is The Greatest

I bear witness that there is no deity except God

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God

Make haste towards prayer

Make haste towards welfare

Prayer is better than sleep **

Prayer is better than sleep

God is greatest

There is no deity except Allah"

**The "Prayer is better than sleep" line is used only during the first call to prayer at dawn.

And 0bama recited this with a "first rate accent" yet he claims that he isn't a muslim.....If he ain't a muslim then I'm a freaking astronaut.

Does he really think that we're that stupid?
