if a tree falls in the forest... does anybody hear it ...

Is al-Qaida planning on dropping a tree on Obama's grandmother?

I can practically SEE the sycophantic MSM editorials now:

"..and speaking of HEROS, how could any REAL American NOT vote for, and unconditionally support, the Man who has suffered so much personal loss in the kinetic military action against man-caused disasters? His OWN beloved grandmother was MURDERED, slaughtered in cold blood by AlQueda operatives as a direct result of the singularly brave and heroic actions He took in May, 2011, when he PERSONALLY rid the world of Usama Bin Laden, whom ALL reasonable and intelligent people recognize as the single greatest threat to freedom, and survival of the human race, in the ENTIRE history of the world. Please! PLEASE! Re-Elect President Barack Obama! He gave HIS grandmother so YOU won't have to! "

"And remember the ACORN motto: Vote early and often!"

Is he going to throw this grandma under the bus, too, or is this one the correct color?

“Sarah Obama, the U.S. president’s step-grandmother,”

She is not related to 0bama. She is his grandfathers “whatever.”

All of Obama’s I, I, me, me gloating has finally caught up with him. Who did he think was listening out there? This is what these guys do. Moron.

I forget what the word for it is in Arabic, but I believe it's called a "concubine."

If they were gonna kill her, they’d have done it already.
This is just rhetoric for publicity.

I suppose, albeit indirectly-through American foreign aid.

Personally, I don't mind, although I think a better investment would be in missiles to take out the Somalian terror/piracy state.

Not only is he a weakened leader, but I have read that there are some who say he is an apostate muslim. If that were true, this could be a credible threat.

In any case, it is a situation which is ripe for manipulation by those who are not friendly to this nation.

This question fascinates me.

According to Islam, everyone is inherently a Muslim. There are no "converts," you simply revert to the faith you were born with.

On the other hand, everyone knows that Islam is passed down from the father, which would make Barack Obama a Muslim by default.

If he converted to Christianity-even the racist, bizarre, pseudo-Christianity of Rev'run Wrong-wouldn't that make him an apostate?

“No way of knowing for sure; however, one highly suspects that this is a shameless publicity stunt, and is fiction from script through performances”

Particularly since a supposed threat to “grandma” would be likely to generate lots of sympathy. She seems to be the only one in his extended family complaining about threats.

How long before Obama send US troops to set up a secure zone for her?

The new Kenyan constitution was driven in large part by the Obama administration, not that the MSM would let you know that.
