Barack Obama joined Muslim prayers at school, teacher says

AS a schoolboy in Jakarta, Barack Obama attended Muslim prayer sessions with his classmates against the wishes of his mother.

The US President's former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama - who was known as "Barry" when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta - studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Anne Dunham, a Roman Catholic.

The teacher's recollections will add to speculation about Mr Obama's links to Islam during his much-anticipated visit to Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, as part of his ten-day tour of Asia.

Islam and Marxism are the essence of evil. They both pervert the natural spiritual aspiration of man into a demonic quest for unlimited power and dominion over all the earth. In pursuit of that goal, neither Islam nor Marxism recognizes any moral or ethical limits. For both, the “ends justify the means”.

What's most noticeable is that his hands are clasped in the same fashion as when Hillary, ????? and himself were standing on a podium for the pledge of allegiance. The other two people had their hands over their heart.

I believe this clasping is significant. I'm going to do a little searching.

[BenLurkin]

He is a strange ranger.

[Chickensoup]

I would say that he was clasping his hands like the good Muslim does.

He is totally owned.

I dont think he would bless himself with holy water at St Peter’s or genuflect in front of the Presence.

[SC_Pete]

That’s why Marxists and Islamofascists understand eachother. However, were it not for the common enemy of Western Civilization, they would be at eachothers’ throats because in each case there is only room for one true faith. Maybe there’s a way to give that some assistance. Wouldn’t that be a win/win?

[Sacajaweau]

"Muslim congregation, facing east, clasping hands in front"

If you saw the video and remember him on the podium, I think this is inded significant. Hardly a USA cutom during the pledge of allegiance. It's a Muslim thing.

The only school records, it would seem, that escaped erasing

Barry Soetoro's school registration, Assisi Primary School, (Catholic)

name: Barry Soetoro

citizenship: Indonesian

Faith: Islam

Father: Lolo Soetoro

he was later enrolled at SDN Menteng 1, an Indonesian public school.

In Indonesia, which was under tight rule in 1967, Obama clearly took on the last name of his stepfather in school registration documents. All Indonesian students were required to carry government identity cards, or Karty Tanda Pendudaks, which needed to bear the student's legal name, which should be matched in public school registration filings.

I think Obama supports any belief system as long as it’s anti-western, anti-colonialism and anti-Christian.

Islam and athiesm is a perfect fit for him.

[maine-iac7]

His stepfather (and his mother, presumably) moved him to a madrassa after a year or so because they felt he wasn’t getting enough Islamic religious instruction.

At some point, the "WON" made a remark about how he hated his mother getting him up at 4 every morning. When asked why, he said it was to study American schooling - now why would that be necc. when he was enrolled in a Catholic church where westerners were schooled.,

However, 4 in the morning just happens to be the time muslims have to get up to observe the first call to prayer - the one that "O" still can recite in perfect dialect and calls 'the most beautiful sound on earth..."

it's the little slips of tongue that can trip one up - SOME DAY

[maine-iac7]

I hear he snuck out to go to Koran class too

He didn't have to sneak - he wrote in one of his books that he got in trouble with his mother because it was reported that he was acting up in Koran class - making faces.

Take note whenever he mentions either the Bible or the Koran.

The Bible is NEVER the HOLY Bible, but the Koran is ALWAYS the "HOLY KORAN"

How many non-muslims do you know refer to the Koran as the "HOLY" Koran?

[maine-iac7]

What a sacrilege - the beautiful old Hagia Sophia - taken over and turned into a mosque - it's been bastardized.

[HollyB]

CCG: YW

Sac: Should you find anything interesting on this body language, fill me in, k?

CS: “He’s totally owned”, quite true. I saw the below video today from another freeper, and the mosque segment caught my attention. The below video has been put together well.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

His mother was a commie.

Oh, a Commie Mommy.

[Cheetahcat]

“It rings true doesn’t it? I’ll have to write that one down.”

Sir yes it does!

[maine-iac7]

Oh, and BTW, michelle, on her Spain escapade, visited mosques - as they both have in their travels.

Has anyone seen them visit any of the hundreds of magnificent cathedrals of Europe? Any? the largest mosque in Indonesia is on his itinery - but I heard news clip that he may skip it due to the 'rumors' of his being muslim...-*did he get 'permission' to skip this

Obama is very hard to read for several reasons.
1. He is left handed, so that must always be kept in mind.
2. Almost everything he discusses is scripted, practiced, rehearsed and read from a teleprompter.
3. He uses (either intentionally or unintentionally) a suggestive form of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)that he uses effectively with hand gestures and tones.
4.He has very seldom had any interviews that would make him uncomfortable to date. No one dares “question” the one with questions that he has not been prepared for.
5. You have to establish a base line for him, which is difficult considering the fact that his history is truly unknown.

All and all, he has made himself a very difficult subject for me o read. Perhaps others on your ping list will have better success with him. If they do, please pass their observations along to me.

[Cheetahcat]

“His mother was a commie.

Oh, a Commie Mommy.”

LMAO

[bray]

His mom was a new age atheist that likely became Mooselip. Not many women marry Moose and don’t convert.

Pray for America

[Theodore R.]

And just who is surprised by this? Probably the American people as a whole

[HollyB]

You’ve made some excellent points. While doing some surfing regarding O’s body language, I came across these two pics, thought they’d raise an eyebrow: (1 day I’ll learn html)
