Is Barack Obama Still a Muslim?
Considering the Islamic declaration of war against the US
and the West...the question is as important as knowing if
Neville Chamberlain was a secret Nazi in on 30 September
1938.

Is Barack Obama Still a Muslim?
By Farah Hargrove
http://farahhargrove.wordpress.com/author/farah78/
Sunday, March 30, 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, <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16813267/>
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
<http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-2.html>
required to study Islam daily in school.
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
<http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/>
teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic
studies."
According to
<http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-5.html>
Tine Hahiyary, 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
<http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html>
author of the Laotze blog 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
<http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/179905/campaign_now_says_barak_hussein_obama.html>
told the LA Times he wasn't a "practicing Muslim."
(3/14/2007). But
<http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/11/12/obama_has_never_been_a_muslim_1.php>
his official website says: "Obama Has Never Been A Muslim,
And Is a Committed Christian" (11/12/2007)
That's not what his friends and classmates have said.

Rony Amiris describes 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, 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,
<http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin> 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.
<http://laotze.blogspot.com/> An American Expat in
Southeast Asia blog, 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
<http://www.thestraightway.org/frequentlyaskedq.html> the
following conversation: "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
<http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=579> Ted Belman of
Israpundit 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.
