My familiarity was introduced as a clan of mountain folk that, with very diverse backgrounds, shunned society.
This is a case of Obama finding an unproven and bending over backwards to kiss muslim keister.
I have no reason to dismiss this claim but the fact that they couldn’t get along makes sense. It their way or nothing.
And thanks for yours. I've only been aware of bits and pieces of the story. But this is an excellent article and I learned a lot.
What was his history grade at Columbia? A D?
One fact of history that Obama studiously avoids is that the Luo tribe, HIS tribe, was a tribe of slave raiders and slave traders, selling other Africans into bondage. But he’s soooo proud of them.
If so, they quickly left their Islam behind. Many believe the Melungeons are of Sephardic Jewish descent. They are something of a mystery....Abraham Lincoln is said to be partly from the Melungeons.
The article I posted refers to that. I am here to learn along with everyone else. The local news covered these folks some years ago. It does seem to be quite a mix of all races and beliefs.
Obama can’t tell the difference between diplomacy and lying saccharine flattery.
And neither can the “journalists.”
This will end badly.
And the Germans didn't have the internet---beacause Algore wasn't born yet.
More on "Islamic medicine" at both links.
Curiously, despite a plethora of Islamic Medicines and Surgery, perhaps the only verse in the Quran, which mentions Islamic medicine, is 16:69. In this verse Allah says that He instructs the bees to eat from varieties of fruit; then they release coloured liquid from their stomachs (honey) and this liquid (honey) is healing. Ibn Kathir provides the reason why honey is a good medicine. According to him honey is hot, so it is a cure for all cold diseases, because a disease should be treated with its opposite.
Allah has made the body‑waste of cattle as medicines for humans. In verses 36:71‑73 Allah says that he has created domestic cattle to be under the ownership of their owners, some to be used for transport and some to be eaten. To elaborate these verses ibn Kathir writes that cattle urine can be drunk as a medicine.
Allah did not forget the magical healing power of Muhammad's body‑waste. Ali Dashti writes that many Muslims believed that Muhammad's urine and faeces were pure. Ali Dashti mentions that Umm Ayman (Muhammad's wet nurse) drank Muhammad's urine (Dashti, p.67). To learn more about the magical power of Muhammad's urine and faeces please read the episode (episode 5) Islamic Black Magic Voodoo.
Perhaps, the most intriguing Islamic medicine is the healing power of a housefly. Sahih Bukhari (4.54.337) writes that one of the wings of a fly has a disease; its other wing has the cure. So if a fly falls in a drink dip it in the drink, and gulp the water.
If a fly falls in a vessel, dip all of it and then throw the fly away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing
(Sahih Bukhari, 7.71.673)
One wing of a fly contains poison; the other wing contains medicine, so if a fly falls on your drink dip it inside the drink
(Sunaan ibn Majah, 5.3504, 3505)
And, if you think that it is different now, than it was in the 7th Century:

An Islamic scientist claim Islam's prophet Muhammad revealed the cure for AIDS, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Hamas TV scientist Ahmad Al-Muzain says Bayer, the German drug giant that developed aspirin, got its treatment for AIDS from "Prophet Muahmmad's Hadith About the Wings of Flies."
Al-Muzain, a Palestinian expert on "Quranic science," said during a program aired on Al-Aqsa Television Sept. 19 that the German company only confirmed what already had been revealed by Muhammad....
So, what's new?
Bump!

I am careful with the credibility there. But, having some interest in the subject, I scanned the entry and found it very well written and documented.

He managed to misrepresent every one of the three major religions.
Also, it's worth noting that while Hispanics are disproportionately represented in the American armed forces, and while German-Americans constituted the largest single subgroup fighting AGAINST Germany in WW I, after 9/11 there was no similar rush by Muslim-Americans to join up, and as a % of soldiers, they remained far, far below their proportion of the population as a whole.
its only a matter of time until the real chaos really starts.....this guy if he is not the actual Anti Christ.....he is his precursor
Kennedy’s article stated that DNA showed they were from Mediterranean counties. I find that very vague since that would include Spain, Monaco, Italy, France, Greece........any country on the Mediterranean. At this point the muslim connection looks like conjecture.
