Barack Obama's Kenyan grandmother has said she prayed for the US president to convert to Islam, according to reports.

Sarah Omar, 88, who was on hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, told the Al-Qatan Saudi daily: "I prayed for my grandson Barack to convert to Islam".

The paper said that Ms Omar was in Saudi Arabia on pilgrimage along with her son, Mr Obama's uncle Saeed Hussein Obama, and four of her grandchildren.

Ms Omar told the newspaper that she could only discuss hajj matters and would not comment on Mr Obama's politics.

It’ taqiyya—he’s permitted to pretend to leave islam as long as the lies advance the cause of islam.

I’d say he’s covered there.

Not being Muslin ... I had to look this up on the Internet.

7- Women not allowed to perform Hajj without a Mihrim!

Corrupt Islamic regulations forbid any woman to observe hajj or umrah without being in the company of a “mihrim”. By definition, a Mihrim is any male who in God”s law is not entitled to marry the woman in question. Thus for any woman, her father, brother, son, grandfather ..... etc are all Mihrim. Not only does this corrupt restriction have no Quranic basis, but it is also an insult to all women.

Grandmother and I are concerned that since he once was a practicing Muslim, he could now be considered an apostate. Far worse than an infidel. He may have time to make right with the Moolahas and Imams before he is judged according to the Koran.

He really does look more at ease in these clothes, than he does while dressed for golf or a ball game.

The power of answered prayer: he already did.

She’s not his grandmother. She was one of his grandfather’s wives.

May-be she means that he just publicly confirms what is privately known.

Milking her 15 minutes, isn’t she ?

I’d be satisfied if he converted to “American”.

I see the likeness. I always liked Rocket J. Squirrel. Now I hope Jesse Jackson cuts his nards off and Huckabee pops him up for Thanksgiving.

BHO is an atheist.

You cant convert from something you are conditioned to. I wished he would convert from stupidity to intellligence though but that’s impossible.

[jazminerose]

He worships himself.

Where's a Woodward and Bernstein when you really, really need one??? No journalist has the guts (or the conservatism) anymore.

Hey Sarah, where you been. He already did. Quite some time ago. And he’s spent 2+ million dollars trying to cover it up.
