RUSH: Folks, I have a question. Barack Obama, he goes into this radical mosque in Baltimore yesterday, he talks about how Islam has always been part of the fabric of America, and I stopped. I said, "Really?" I didn't know that. I didn't know that Islam had always been such a major, major part of America. But, anyway, he's constantly talking it up, is he not? President Obama is routinely defending it, talking it up, promoting it.
He talks about how awesome Islam is all the time, one of the most beautiful sounds he's ever heard is the morning call to prayer in an Islamic country. He says it's the most peaceful, most giving religion out there, that the mosque called a prayer one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. And, at the same time, he's out there, and look what he says about Christians. He says he is one. Look, he talks about 'em as bitter clingers and they hold on to their guns when they're nervous.
And when they feel abandoned, they go out there and they cling to their religion, and they do all these other things that make the establishment nervous. My question is, given all this, why did he choose to become a Christian? I've always wondered that. He's such a defender and promoter of Islam, and, on the other hand, he and his party are constantly denigrating Christians. I don't care what the issue is, whether it's guns, whether it's gay marriage, any cultural or social issue, or the bitter clinger comments. I've always wondered about this.
No, I'm not saying anything. I'm just asking a question.
How did he end up choosing Reverend Wright's church, given his public statements on all this?

FALSANI: Who’s Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA: Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
CINO
he attended a madrassa in Indonesia, do they allow christians to study in Madrassa’s?
Any record of him leaving the faith (Islam) ???
Do you know what the punishment for leaving the faith is?
barak is a muslim
Taquyia
You forgot to include the part where Falsani asks him about Jesus. He starts out by saying “Jesus is an interesting guy for me...I try to live my life like he did” Nothing about Jesus being his Lord and Savior. How can he say he is “rooted” in the Christian faith when all his other references were to Islam. Such a poser.
