TDC asks:
Was Obama referring to himself as being an American who has lived in a muslim country, or is he saying that he is a Muslim who has lived in a Muslim country?

Advance the video to 3:15 and decide for yourself.

Awesome. We have three boys, 10, 12 and 14. We’ve done it since the start.

God bless.

Christianity was probably just a religion of convenience to obama. Now he’ll slide back to his roots...

I've been saying this since before the election. The guy is a Muzzie pure and simple. But the question is, who is his handler? I'm thinking besides Soros, what about the Saudi King? That prostration act he did a few months ago was no "searching for a lost contact" routine. Sheesh, when are the sheeple going to wake up and realize our enemy is running the country??????????? No wonder America is dying before our eyes. God help us.

Obviously a great point. I think he spends all his spare time working out with his “buddy”.

That’s what he was doing with his Sundays before the election, anyway. What? Are there no Reverend Wrights in DC?

I think he's a muslim, but I'm no expert. However, muslims say obama is a muslim and that's close enough for me. Even Farrakhan says he's the messiah, but that isn't working for me. I think he's the destroyer.

Are they trying to say his Muslim father DID NOT try to assert any religious belief in him at all, and that he suddenly embraced Christianity at an older age (with no prior religious faith from his parents?)

Or.. was he was born a Muslim?

What is the penalty for leaving Muslim religion to become Christian?

I always felt his middle name was relevant, but not for the reasons the MSM tries to pretend.

Someone who had an influence on him named him that in spite of its rarity in American culture, and the likelihood that it might subject him to scorn. One might even say the act of naming him that was defiant.

All I want to know is if the person who named him that had an influence on his thought processes, and if so, in what way. Hell, it could very well have been a benefit. But it seems like a reasonable question to ask.

Anyone can name their kid whatever they want. And a person's name has nothing to do with who they are as a person unless the name subjected them to behavior that singled them out, embarrassed them, or otherwise made them an outcast. Seems like we have a right to ask because for all we know maybe he felt embarrassed of his name and had a secret desire to lash out at Muslims for causing his pain.

Again, how would we know since we're not allowed to ask?

Again, another reason it seems to me that he just needs to open up and let us know what the deal is with the whole Muslim background thing.

I've heard that Muslims mistakenly believe he's Muslim. But I've also heard that some Sunnis hate Shiites and some Shiites hate Sunnis.

So what kind of Muslim do they think he is? And is there a possibility this makes him (or America) the target of radicals from the other Muslim factions?

Again, I wouldn't know since asking about it, mentioning it, or discussing it in any fashion whatsoever is apparently a hate crime.

And since I'm constantly being told I'm "ignorant" of the Muslim culture, why does he shy away from talking about it. Isn't he just promoting my "ignorance"?

I actually heard the uncut version of the song... I had to wash my soul out with AJAX.

I never saw the movie either.
