Barack Hussein Obama
Is Barack Obama a Muslim wolf in Christian wool?

Thursday, March 27, 2008
The glib handling of criticism of his relationship with the
anti-American ("God Damn America!") and anti-Israel ("a
dirty word for Negroes") Reverend James Wright may have
bought him a little time. But the legacy of dissimulation
about his long-concealed identity is about to come crashing
down around the ears of Barack Hussein Obama, courtesy of
the assembled testimony of his family, friends, classmates
and teachers.
The accumulated research indicates that Obama was in his
childhood a devout Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the
step-son of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake
("Hussein") of a devout Muslim. He was registered in school
as a Muslim and demonstrated his ability to chant praise to
Allah in impressive Arab-accented tones even as an adult.
Just as he has not disavowed his "uncle" Jeremiah, neither
has he disavowed his Muslim faith that he was born into,
raised with, celebrated and never abandoned. He just
covered it over with a thin veneer of his own self-styled
"Christianity."
Although as an adult he would register as a Christian, and
occasionally attend a Christian Church (but apparently not
often enough to listen to the preaching of his pastor, or
so he would claim) this was a necessary step for a man who
from earliest boyhood has nurtured the precocious ambition
to be President of the United States.
He was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi
Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968,
registered under the name Barry Soetoro, an Indonesian
citizen whose religion was listed as Islam. Catholic
schools accept non-Catholics worldwide. Non-Catholic
students are typically excused from religious instruction
and ceremony.
In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I
Want to Become President.'"Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator
Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an
exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly
picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He
wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,' the
teacher said." [AP, 1/25/07]

Three years later, in 1971, Obama enrolled in the Besuki
Primary School, a government school, as Barry Soetoro,
Muslim. In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled
'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher:
Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay
titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator
Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los
Angeles Times, 3/15/07]
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at
school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would
have been required to study Islam daily in school.
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-2.html
He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to
recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the
Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama
mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school
as "a Muslim school."
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I
made faces during Koranic studies."
http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/
According to Tine Hahiyary,
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-5.html
one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through
1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious
lessons during his time at the school. "I remembered that
he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine
said.
The author of the Laotze blog
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html
writes from Jakarta: "The actual usage of the word
'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the
study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic
language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word
and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in
the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast
Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not
something that a non practicing or so-called moderate
Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this
in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond
simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."
"The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well
known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just
when Obama is going to come out of the closet."
"As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly
show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro
Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they
raised their son as such."
The Obama Campaign told the LA Times
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/179905/campaign_now_says_barak_hussein_obama.html
he wasn't a "practicing Muslim." (3/14/2007). But his
official website says: "Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And
Is a Committed Christian" (11/12/2007)
http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/11/12/obama_has_never_been_a_muslim_1.php
That's not what his friends and classmates have said.
Classmate Rony Amiris describes
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-3.html
young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of
being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was
previously quite religious in Islam. We previously often
asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was
wearing a sarong, he looked funny," said Rony.
Amiris, now the manager of Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently
said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His
birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist
from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was
married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All
the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"
Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as
saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a
'sarong', at that time."
"He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying
Michelle, he changed his religion." So Obama, according to
his classmates and friends was a Muslim until the
confluence of love and ambitious, caused him to adopt the
cloak of Christianity: to marry Michelle and to run for
President of the United States.
In "Dreams," Obama sheds light on his formative years and
the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and
Islamophile who hated America and subsequently "went
native." (It was her mother -- Barry's "other" grandmother
who cared for him in his druggie teenage years -- that he
would describe as a "typical white person" who was, he said
scoldingly, fearful of black men and prone to making
stereotypical racial remarks.)
Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are
all Muslim. Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist,
Senior was buried as a Muslim.
Barack Obama's brother Roy opted for Islam over
Christianity, as the Senator recounted in his book when
describing his 1992 wedding. "The person who made me
proudest of all," Obama wrote, "was Roy. Actually, now we
call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided
to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam,
and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol."Abongo
"argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the
poisoning influences of European culture." He urged his
younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
In Kenya while he was a Senator, Obama stumped for his
cousin, opposition leader Raila Odinga, the son of Senior's
sister, a direct first cousin and nephew of Obama's father.
On August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi,
chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya
signed a Memorandum of Understanding in which it pledges
the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In
return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees ... within 6
months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize
Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran
for Muslim declared regions [and] within one year to
facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every
Kenyan divisional headquarters -- everywhere in Kenya, not
just in "Muslim declared regions" -- and to popularize
Islam, the only true religion ... by ordering every primary
school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa
classes.
In an interview with the New York Times,
http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's younger
half sister, told the Times, "My whole family was Muslim,
and most of the people I knew were Muslim."
Obama describes his new found "Christian" faith as: (1)
Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth
(3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big
healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible
with all other religions.
On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York
Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer
is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New
York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the
Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet?"
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the
Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This
simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete
acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of
Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.
An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog,
http://laotze.blogspot.com/
written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20
years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda,
contains the following:
"Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans
that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not
convinced many in the world's most populous Muslim country
who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and
world peace."
"Barack Hussein Obama's race, his staunch opposition to the
war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide
and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media
coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy."
"A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is
reporting on Obama's religion can be found in the
following."
"What I found interesting in the article was the use of the
word 'mengaku' when refering to Obama's conversion from
Islam to Christianity. The word 'mengaku' in Indonesian
means "claimed" and as such leaves the insinuation to the
native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually
still be a Muslim.
But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don't see him
as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the
cause of Islam."
Obama wants it both ways, has always wanted it both ways.
Black and white, Indonesian and American, Muslim and
Christian. He loves playing one off the other, using one to
hide the other even as the traces of the truth may be
assembled to reveal the whole cloth of deception and self-
promotion he has been weaving so skillfully since his
childhood. No wonder he is a man of change. He IS a
changeling, a veritable chameleon, adapting and amending
his life story to fit the circumstances.
The charm may have worked once. It still works on some. It
won't work forever in the age of the Internet. The fog of
ambiguity and dissimulation is dissipated by the harsh,
unforgiving and scrutiny of the blogosphere and its
unlimited access to historical facts and time-stamped
testimony.
Many have been puzzled why Obama could claim not to be
familiar with Wright's rants. It turns out the Trinity
Church, like many African-American churches, happily
accepts believing Muslims within its congregation. And
evidently many Muslims have no problems surrounding
themselves with an anti-American, anti-Israel preacher who
week in and week out wins the amens of his adoring
congregation.
On Feb 15/08, Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight
Way of Grace Ministry called Obama's Church and reported
the following conversation:
http://www.thestraightway.org/frequentlyaskedq.html
"I then asked the person who answered what I needed to do
to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday
School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I
replied, "That sounds easy. One last question please. If I
am Muslim and I believe in the Prophet Mohammed, peace be
unto him and I also believe in Jesus, peace be unto him, do
I have to give up my Islamic faith to be a member in your
church? She answered: "No, we have many Muslim members in
our church."
Indeed.
Credit for these reports and revelations -- assembling the
statements of those who love and admire Barry Soetoro aka
Barack Hussein Obama -- belong primarily to the writers,
researchers, and journalists cited in and contributing to
the above references. Special hat tip to Ted Belman of
Israpundit
http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=579
for putting most of the pieces together. One can be sure
that more, much more, is on the way, before the first black
muslim president enters the White House. Or not.

He is public with his hatred and yet he calls himself a
uniter.
He doesn't even accept his own white heritage. He's shamed
by it.

Rev. Wright's church is a good church for a Moslem to hide
in. It seems to be in considerable accord with the "Black
Muslims" in America. He doesn't have to alter his beliefs
much, just change the name of the Deity.

Let's see, he had a muslim daddy, has a muslim name, and
went to a muslim school for a few years? Check!
And he adores a preacher who is quite obviously a racist
while denouncing his white grandmother as a racist? Check!
And he refuses to wear a US flag lapel pin and refuses to
hold his hand over his heart during the national anthem?
Check!
Other than those glaring discrepancies, I suppose he is an
all-American boy!!!!!!!

No matter the name of the religion that Obama claims, he
has clearly aligned himself with the evil rantings of of
Jeremiah Wright. There is war going on between good and
evil and Obama has chosen his side in this war.

Somebody days ago brought up the term TAQIYYA
-From Wiki:
Within Shi'ite Islamic tradition,[1] the concept of Taqiyya
([Text in Arabic] - 'fear, guard against')[2] refers to a
dispensation allowing believers to conceal their faith when
under threat, persecution or compulsion.
The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or
disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings,
opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger,
whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical
and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be
"Dissimulation."

I am not convinced he is a Muslim. I will say, however,
that he is definitely a non-Christian in Christian clothes.
He is, at the very least, a racist. Racism goes both ways.

Forgot to add another opinion found elsewhere:
To Muslims who follow Shariah law, Obama is an apostate, a
crime punishable by death! According to their system, the
father's religion determines the religion of the offspring.
Unfortunately, having an Apostate to Islam be the president
of the U.S. will only confirm their opinion of us and
endanger the life of such a President.

Was Obama Ever a Muslim?
"I've always been a Christian," said Obama, focusing on his
own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny
any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as
key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males
makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an
Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein,
Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they
will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to
proclaim him a born Muslim.
More: family and friends considered him as a child to be
Muslim. In "Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School,"
Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24,
2007, that
Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man
from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated
to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the
Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed
he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
The document required that each student choose one of five
state-sanctioned religions when registering -- Muslim,
Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.
Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert
Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that he wasn't
sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.
"Senator Obama has never been a Muslim."
Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times
(available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that
the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute
statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: "Obama has
never been a practicing Muslim." The Times looked into the
matter further and learned more about his Indonesian
interlude:
His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with
two people who were identified by Obama's grade-school
teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by
his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That
registration meant that during the third and fourth grades,
Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in
religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday
prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really
seriously, just following actions done by older people in
the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and
went to the mosque together and played," said Zulfin Adi.

Primary School, a government school, as Barry Soetoro,
Muslim. In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled
'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher:
Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay
titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator
Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los
Angeles Times, 3/15/07]
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at
school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would
have been required to study Islam daily in school.
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-2.html
He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to
recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the
Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama
mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school
as "a Muslim school."
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I
made faces during Koranic studies."
http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/
According to Tine Hahiyary,
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-5.html
one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through
1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious
lessons during his time at the school. "I remembered that
he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine
said.
The author of the Laotze blog
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html
writes from Jakarta: "The actual usage of the word
'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the
study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic
language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word
and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in
the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast
Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not
something that a non practicing or so-called moderate
Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this
in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond
simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."
"The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well
known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just
when Obama is going to come out of the closet."
"As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly
show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro
Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they
raised their son as such."
The Obama Campaign told the LA Times
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/179905/campaign_now_says_barak_hussein_obama.html
he wasn't a "practicing Muslim." (3/14/2007). But his
official website says: "Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And
Is a Committed Christian" (11/12/2007)
http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/11/12/obama_has_never_been_a_muslim_1.php
That's not what his friends and classmates have said.
Classmate Rony Amiris describes
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-3.html
young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of
being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was
previously quite religious in Islam. We previously often
asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was
wearing a sarong, he looked funny," said Rony.
Amiris, now the manager of Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently
said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His
birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist
from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was
married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All
the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"
Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as
saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a
'sarong', at that time."
"He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying
Michelle, he changed his religion." So Obama, according to
his classmates and friends was a Muslim until the
confluence of love and ambitious, caused him to adopt the
cloak of Christianity: to marry Michelle and to run for
President of the United States.
In "Dreams," Obama sheds light on his formative years and
the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and
Islamophile who hated America and subsequently "went
native." (It was her mother -- Barry's "other" grandmother
who cared for him in his druggie teenage years -- that he
would describe as a "typical white person" who was, he said
scoldingly, fearful of black men and prone to making
stereotypical racial remarks.)
Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are
all Muslim. Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist,
Senior was buried as a Muslim.
Barack Obama's brother Roy opted for Islam over
Christianity, as the Senator recounted in his book when
describing his 1992 wedding. "The person who made me
proudest of all," Obama wrote, "was Roy. Actually, now we
call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided
to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam,
and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol."Abongo
"argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the
poisoning influences of European culture." He urged his
younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
In Kenya while he was a Senator, Obama stumped for his
cousin, opposition leader Raila Odinga, the son of Senior's
sister, a direct first cousin and nephew of Obama's father.
On August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi,
chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya
signed a Memorandum of Understanding in which it pledges
the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In
return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees ... within 6
months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize
Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran
for Muslim declared regions [and] within one year to
facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every
Kenyan divisional headquarters -- everywhere in Kenya, not
just in "Muslim declared regions" -- and to popularize
Islam, the only true religion ... by ordering every primary
school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa
classes.
In an interview with the New York Times,
http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's younger
half sister, told the Times, "My whole family was Muslim,
and most of the people I knew were Muslim."
Obama describes his new found "Christian" faith as: (1)
Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth
(3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big
healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible
with all other religions.
On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York
Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer
is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New
York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the
Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet?"
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the
Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This
simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete
acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of
Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.
An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog,
http://laotze.blogspot.com/
written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20
years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda,
contains the following:
"Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans
that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not
convinced many in the world's most populous Muslim country
who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and
world peace."
"Barack Hussein Obama's race, his staunch opposition to the
war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide
and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media
coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy."
"A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is
reporting on Obama's religion can be found in the
following."
"What I found interesting in the article was the use of the
word 'mengaku' when refering to Obama's conversion from
Islam to Christianity. The word 'mengaku' in Indonesian
means "claimed" and as such leaves the insinuation to the
native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually
still be a Muslim.
But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don't see him
as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the
cause of Islam."
Obama wants it both ways, has always wanted it both ways.
Black and white, Indonesian and American, Muslim and
Christian. He loves playing one off the other, using one to
hide the other even as the traces of the truth may be
assembled to reveal the whole cloth of deception and self-
promotion he has been weaving so skillfully since his
childhood. No wonder he is a man of change. He IS a
changeling, a veritable chameleon, adapting and amending
his life story to fit the circumstances.
The charm may have worked once. It still works on some. It
won't work forever in the age of the Internet. The fog of
ambiguity and dissimulation is dissipated by the harsh,
unforgiving and scrutiny of the blogosphere and its
unlimited access to historical facts and time-stamped
testimony.
Many have been puzzled why Obama could claim not to be
familiar with Wright's rants. It turns out the Trinity
Church, like many African-American churches, happily
accepts believing Muslims within its congregation. And
evidently many Muslims have no problems surrounding
themselves with an anti-American, anti-Israel preacher who
week in and week out wins the amens of his adoring
congregation.
On Feb 15/08, Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight
Way of Grace Ministry called Obama's Church and reported
the following conversation:
http://www.thestraightway.org/frequentlyaskedq.html
"I then asked the person who answered what I needed to do
to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday
School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I
replied, "That sounds easy. One last question please. If I
am Muslim and I believe in the Prophet Mohammed, peace be
unto him and I also believe in Jesus, peace be unto him, do
I have to give up my Islamic faith to be a member in your
church? She answered: "No, we have many Muslim members in
our church."
Indeed.
Credit for these reports and revelations -- assembling the
statements of those who love and admire Barry Soetoro aka
Barack Hussein Obama -- belong primarily to the writers,
researchers, and journalists cited in and contributing to

Rev. Wright's church is a good church for a Moslem to hide
in. It seems to be in considerable accord with the "Black
Muslims" in America. He doesn't have to alter his beliefs
much, just change the name of the Deity.

Let's see, he had a muslim daddy, has a muslim name, and

And he adores a preacher who is quite obviously a racist
while denouncing his white grandmother as a racist? Check!
And he refuses to wear a US flag lapel pin and refuses to
hold his hand over his heart during the national anthem?
Check!
Other than those glaring discrepancies, I suppose he is an

No matter the name of the religion that Obama claims, he

Somebody days ago brought up the term TAQIYYA
-From Wiki:
Within Shi'ite Islamic tradition,[1] the concept of Taqiyya
([Text in Arabic] - 'fear, guard against')[2] refers to a
dispensation allowing believers to conceal their faith when
under threat, persecution or compulsion.
The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or
disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings,
opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger,
whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical
and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be
"Dissimulation."

I am not convinced he is a Muslim. I will say, however,
that he is definitely a non-Christian in Christian clothes.
He is, at the very least, a racist. Racism goes both ways.

Forgot to add another opinion found elsewhere:
To Muslims who follow Shariah law, Obama is an apostate, a
crime punishable by death! According to their system, the
father's religion determines the religion of the offspring.
Unfortunately, having an Apostate to Islam be the president
of the U.S. will only confirm their opinion of us and
endanger the life of such a President.

Was Obama Ever a Muslim?
"I've always been a Christian," said Obama, focusing on his
own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny
any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as
key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males
makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an
Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein,
Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they
will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to
proclaim him a born Muslim.
More: family and friends considered him as a child to be
Muslim. In "Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School,"
Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24,
2007, that
Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man
from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated
to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the
Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed
he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
The document required that each student choose one of five
state-sanctioned religions when registering -- Muslim,
Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.
Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert
Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that he wasn't
sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.
"Senator Obama has never been a Muslim."
Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times
(available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that
the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute
statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: "Obama has
never been a practicing Muslim." The Times looked into the
matter further and learned more about his Indonesian
interlude:
His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with
two people who were identified by Obama's grade-school
teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by
his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That
registration meant that during the third and fourth grades,
Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in
religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday
prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really
seriously, just following actions done by older people in
the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and
went to the mosque together and played," said Zulfin Adi.
