Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim?
No.
But there's a reason 24 percent of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim: Obama spends an inordinate amount of time stumping for Islam. Obama's not Muslim. But he proselytizes for Islamic goals and dreams like a member of the faithful.
He routinely cites his background to establish his Islamic bona fides with the Muslim world. "I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims," he told a Muslim audience in Cairo. "As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk. ... I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." This is language that falls short of embracing Islam as a believer, but is geared toward telling the Muslim world, "I am on your side." Acknowledging his Muslim parentage on Muslim soil, speaking of Islam's "revelation," talking about living in a Muslim country -- that sort of rhetoric has a purpose.
Obama's first interview after his election was with Al-Arabiya. In that interview, he proclaimed that the United States had to "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating." He then followed up this blatant pandering and pathetic apologetics with the explanation that his job was to "communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect."
In Cairo, Obama said his job as president of the United States is to "fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." That's certainly not the job of the president of the United States. It is not even the job of the most ardently tolerant Christian. Is it any wonder that so many people believe Obama to be an emissary of Islam?
Obama's bow to the Saudi king reinforced American perceptions that he was in bed with Islamism. American leaders do not bow before foreign leaders. Period. But not only did Obama bow, he specifically bowed to the leader of the Muslim country where Mecca lies. Then the White House ridiculously attempted to claim that the bow never happened in the first place.
Obama has consistently sided with Muslims against American allies. He has thrown Israel under the bus by requiring concessions on "settlements" even as he does nothing about Palestinian violence. He has endorsed the idea of a "contiguous" Palestinian state, which by definition would mean splitting Israel in half. He has barred Israel from taking action against Iran even as Iran goes nuclear. He has backed a UN resolution condemning Israel's nuclear weapons and ignoring Iran's. He has supported Raila Odinga, a radical Muslim politician in Kenya who has pledged to rewrite Kenya's Constitution to recognize Shariah as the only true law and establish Shariah courts in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. He has abandoned Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, an anti-Islamist in Bangladesh who has been imprisoned and prosecuted for supporting Israel's right to exist. He has endorsed the mosque two blocks from Ground Zero despite the fact that the imam of the proposed "bridge-building" mosque is a radical Islamist who refuses to condemn Hamas and believes that the United States is responsible for 9/11.
Obama administration officials also act as though they're members of the Saudi public relations staff. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that his "foremost" mission was to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan calls Jerusalem "al-Quds."
It bears repeating: Obama's not a Muslim. But there are only two possible reasons why he would draw himself this close to the Muslim world in speech and deed. First, he could be duping the Muslim world, keeping his friends close and his enemies closer. This seems utterly unlikely as his most sincere statements seem to come with regard to the Muslim world. Second, he could feel true kinship with the Muslim world based on his childhood experiences and his Marxist multiculturalism. This rings true.
For the last time: Obama's not a Muslim. He's a sellout to the radical Muslim world. If a swath of the American people mistakes a president who sells out to Islamism for a Muslim president, there's only one person to blame: Obama himself.
Well, Robins have red breasts, hop around on the lawn and eat worms .... I know they ain’t doves. Even if you taught them to coo ... they wouldn’t be doves.
“Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim?”
Say for the sake of argument he is...So What.
What is this crap? He cites multiple reasons why one might think obama is a muslim and then simply says he's not. Based on what, exactly?
and now for the start of muslim holy month he goes on vacation AGAIN .
Nice timing, you watch for 2012 he will got to a church and say a passage from the bible and we will still have dopes saying that he is Christian and they will vote for him and that does go for the evangelicals too.
he knows he is but does not have the guts to say it so he makes the arguments but then says he is not for fear of being PC
SOD it I will say it , he is not Christian
The muslims think he is because his alleged father was. And his actions certainly re-enforce that belief.
It’s a LOYALTY issue, not a RELIGIOUS issue.
Seven pragraphs that heavily favor "yes he is" followed by:
"Obama's not a Muslim. He's a sellout to the radical Muslim world. If a swath of the American people mistakes a president who sells out to Islamism for a Muslim president, there's only one person to blame: Obama himself."
I like the final comment but I'm also totally aghast that literally ALL commentators are willing to state that he is not muslim.
They can show NO legitimate proof of that, but they have far more than those seven paragraphs, plus the trademark obfuscation, as circumstantial evidence that he is!
Shapiro seems to think Obama is not a Muslim despite lots of evidence; but OTOH he accepts Obama’s claim to be a Christian with no evidence but his claim to be a Christian.
I think Shapiro has a blindspot. He’s likely not a Christian himself (maybe is Jewish?); and therefore not as sensitive to the more obvious reasons that Obama cannot really be a Christian - at least not in the true sense.
No one who believes in Jesus as the Son of the True God, would ever allow adoration by his followers. Obama has no humility when being called the “One”, the “Messiah”, etc.. He accepts it as his due. P-BO equates his own greatness with that of Jesus of Nazareth.
Now - The other half of the question: What is the MSM’s ABCNNBCBS’s evidence that he is a christian?
He has attended church services twice in the 20 months since being elected.
\
He does not celebrate Christmas with any religious service or attendance.
\
He does not allow his children to celebrate even a commercial christmas (lower case intended) with secular gifts or trees or parties or christmas trees or other western commercial rites.
\
His mother was an atheiest, meeting his father while studying Russian as a socialist in a extremist liberal university. When was he baptized and by who and into what christian church?
He
That's pretty much my beef. Their "argument" is "no he isn't!"
That's what's been driving me crazy. I've seen numerous articles saying the same thing: "People think Barack Obama is a Muslim. He's not." Like we're supposed to say, "OH! Well, that clears THAT up. What's for dinner?"
WELL, I says.........puhleeezzzzz pass me dat’ lobstah
No? He’s not a Muslim? Why not?
Evidence, please.
Oh, there isn’t any.
There’s no doubt that Obama, who (by Islamic law) was born a Muslim, is STILL a Muslim.
Just a bit of the evidence is listed below:
Quotes from Obama’s various speeches:
“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit”
Barack Hussein Obama
“We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country”
Barack Hussein Obama
“I have lived in a Muslim-majority country... I know, because I am one of them.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“We are not nor have we even been at war with Islam”
Barack Hussein Obama

This is what the Marxist/Muslim has done with American tax dollars while Americans lose their jobs and homes. BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!
Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

24 Why isn’t Barack Obama still a member of the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why isn’t Michelle Obama still a member of the Illinois bar, after only about four years of practice, and where are all of the relevant documents?
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.

Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth,” in an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times. Kristof described Obama’s recitation of 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.

Little known facts about Obama, the muzzie:
In 2001, Obama sponsored Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the “Halal Food Act,” providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/summary/920SB0750.html
This act plays into Islamization. Here’s how it works and how Halal food plays a role:
“From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply
(United States)
He’s a Muzzie.

For all of you who think that obama is a “non-practicing” muslim:
Remember the 9/11 hijackers, and how they behaved before they did their evil deed of jihad. They boozed it up and chased women at clubs. Maybe they ate pork too—I dunno. They certainly skipped the five islamic prayers a day. At any rate, they did a lot of things that devout muslims would never do.
Why? They were practicing taqiyya. Their behavior was designed to fool everyone, to provide cover while they were setting up for their extreme islamic act of self-immolating “martyrdom”.
Barack Hussein obama is also a full muslim, who is practicing taqiyya. This allows him to do everything to sell our our country to islam, as the article says.
But his disguise is getting thinner and thinner. Someday soon, he will either be exposed as a muslim, or he will declare it openly, with a phalanx of liberal protestants and Jews and turncoat Roman Catholics to provide him cover!
