A bright young student recently asked me this question in defense of her Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama...“Mr. Williams, my family name is Irish. Does that make me a terrorist member of the IRA?”
After pointing out that she had made no effort to hide her ancestry, I answered, “No, but it does make you Irish.”

The Real Point
What do all of these facts mean in the real world where such an individual is seeking the most powerful political office in the world?
Based upon the belief that 90 percent of the world’s billion-plus Muslim population is peaceful, does it matter whether or not Barack Obama is Muslim? That depends upon whether he is one of the 90 percent or one of the 10 percent.
(snip)
If he is an Arab and a Muslim, does that automatically mean that he is a terrorist or even a terrorist sympathizer? No, it doesn’t...
But combined, what all of it does mean is this, - there are some very reasonable questions that should be asked and answered before the American people actually consider such an individual for the job of Commander-in-Chief, especially while the nation is at war with radical elements of the Arab-Muslim world.
It means that if the press avoids asking those questions, they are derelict in their primary purpose of keeping the public informed. Their only task during an election cycle is to help the American people know as much as possible about those who seek to run their nation. If they won’t ask the questions, then they aren’t doing their job.

This story may take Obama down and out of political office altogether!
I hope they keep digging until they have all the pieces in place. This story has massive implications!
I’ve heard him state in speeches that “Barack” is African or swalhi for “peace”, but it’s actually MUSLIM for “peace”.
The mantra that 90% of muslims are peaceful is not borne out
by history. For 800 years the muslims conquered India using
weapons and war.
Yet the muslim population never exceeded 15% of total.
There is no way 90% of that 15% were peaceful, because
that boils down to 1.5% of population held sway over 85%
of non-muslims.
The only event which stopped muslim rule in India was when
the Hindu warlord Shivaji defeated muslim rulers militarily.
Other “Coincidences” of Interest
Obama’s Arab name and Muslim heritage by itself, only raises the need for further query. It leads us to no automatic conclusions.
Instead, it leads only to a list of reasonable questions that anyone seeking the power of the Oval Office must be willing to answer. Any candidate, except Obama, with the same background should and would be asked the exact same questions. But, it’s apparently an act of racism to ask America’s first “black” candidate the most glaringly obvious questions.
▪ How did you get an Arab name and why don’t you want to talk about it?
▪ How did someone from such meager beginnings afford Occidental, Columbia and Harvard without ever holding down a paying job?
▪ Who is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour (aka Donald Warden)? When did you meet him and how has he played a role in your life?
▪ Were you ever part of the Black Panther or Saul Alinsky “community organizing” effort?
▪ When and where did you first become close friends with convicted Weatherman terrorist William Ayers, who obviously helped you launch your political career in his Chicago home?
▪ Who is Saul Alinsky and what did he teach you about “community organizing?”
▪ Who are the seventy five billionaire “bundlers” and who gave them the millions to finance your bid for the White House?
▪ Who is Mohammed Hasan Chandoo and why did you spend three weeks with him in Pakistan in the early 80’s, under your Indonesian name and passport?
▪ Why did Percy Sutton write a letter to help you get into Harvard? If it wasn’t Dr. Khalid al-Mansour who asked him to write the letter, who was it?
These are just a few of the questions candidate Obama should be happy to lay to rest with open and direct answers. Though nobody in the lamestream press is asking yet, a few in the New Media are asking the right questions....
An innocent March ’08 TV interview with “community organizer” become millionaire political powerhouse, Percy Sutton, caught the attention of more than a few investigative journalists by late August.
NewsMax journalist Kenneth Timmerman is turning over all the right rocks and asking all the right questions. Sooner or later, someone is going to find answers to questions which Obama appears to have been avoiding for years.
On September 3rd, Timmerman wrote ‘Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age’ followed by a September 4th piece titled ‘Who is Khalid al-Mansour?’
It seems that Timmerman is on the right trail. The fact that related Internet files are being sanitized or removed altogether as fast as they can be found, only proves that somebody with lots of power somewhere recognizes that Timmerman is getting too close for comfort...

excerpt:
...Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:
True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.
Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”
The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.
Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.
But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller...
“but it’s actually MUSLIM for “peace”
Muslim is a language?
"Arab" is a racial and language subgroup. Not all Muslims are Arabs, and not all Arabs are Muslims. The number of ethnic-Arab and Arabic-speaking Christians worldwide is approximately 20 million.
"Muslim" is a religious designation, not a language and not a racial or national identity. There are hundreds of millions of non-Arab Muslims, including the vast majority of the populations on Iran (Persians) and Indonesia (Javanese, Sundanese, etc.) plus many millions of Asian, European, and African Muslims.
Barack Obama is absolutely, positively non Arab by ethnicity or language. Whatever affinity he has with Islam remain to be seen.
I wrote a letter to editor of my local paper about Obama and ran spell check before I sent it. Box popped up and said Obama not in dictionary, suggested replacement was Osama. I kid you not. My jaw just dropped.
LOL! MS Word used to want to correct Taliban as tailbone.
When I go to the link I assume at the top of the page, that is BHo written in Arabic, is that right?
How come we don’t see this name version on campaign signs at his rallies, are there no proud Muslims in attendance?
Is there polling on muslim or arab americans yet for this election? I had head that they try and show solidarity and vote as a block.
This is stupid. Barack Obama is NOT an Arab. He is half-Luo (who didn’t tend to mix with the Arabs) and half-white American (English and Scottish). Nevertheless, the left-side-of-the-bell-curve portion of the electorate that is not black will probably believe that he prays to mecca three times a day. These internet rumors, as idiotic as they are, are nevertheless good for McCain.
That won't stop the Left Behind reading paranoid female in the hinterland from thinking the Barack is an "Arab." This is good for McCain (and therefore good for our side).
“Barack Obama is absolutely, positively non Arab by ethnicity or language. Whatever affinity he has with Islam remain to be seen.”
I strongly suggest that you do more research. You are making absolute statements without proper foundation.
Quick... someone make the campaign sign!
Who writes a memoir about having done nothing, talking about the influence of a father he never knew?
No, it is from my knowledge of the history of Kenya, and basic ethnicity/biology. This is purely for the tin foil/Pop Religion crowd.
As the author states pretty clearly, this is not about skin color, nationality or religion.
It is about two very important questions...
1) Who is this guy, really?
2) Who is his puppet master?
The empty suit is quite obviously a puppet hiding from his past. People who hide usually have something to hide... In this case, it is the puppet master who is being hidden.
His name is Khalid al-Mansour (aka Donald Warden).
Learn who and what this man is and you will know who and what Obama is.
Once Americans figure it all out, he won’t be welcome in the WH or the Senate.
Nope... its from historical facts.
Again... stop assuming and start researching.
