We've done it again, Freepers. Got the left's and Barack Hussein Obama's panties in a bunch.

Got the left's and Barack Hussein Obama's panties in a bunch.

That's not too hard - they're an intolerant, ultra-sensitive bunch.

[mnehring]

Barack Hussein Obama's panties in a bunch.

Oh great, with the Washington Post's history of journalist integrity(sic), they will now say we are starting a rumor that BarryO is a cross-dresser.

[Mojave]

Barack Hussein Obama is as American as camel pie.

[sinanju]

Well all I can say is I’m disappointed in both the WaPo and the “brilliant” “Dr.” Allen.

Can’t they go a few yards further and tie the Freeper can to John McCain’s tail?

Why just last night, I saw Keith Olberman insist that Grover Norquist is a racist because one of his flacks called Obama “John Kerry with a tan” AND call him a McCain surrogate because they have apparently buried the hatchet in the years since the 2000 bitterness.

Surely the WaPo writers can make a persuasive case that us Freepers are a bunch of cross-burners and that we are hired McCain goons.

Well dang it! One of us may have to email the link to Olberman’s website. “If the mountain won’t come to Muhammed...” Ooops! There I go again...

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Overall, I'm heartened by this attention for FR by MSM outlet WaPo.

[BallyBill]

I heard some guy on a Philly station today and he mentioned FR. I pricked up my ears and sure enough he was some journalist and he was talking about this rumor.

I realized the BO crew was out trying to divert the Hillary angle and make it a "right wing" rumor.

The media has no embarrassment about taking orders from the DNC.

[SoldierDad]

Laid out before Allen, a razor-sharp, 36-year-old political theorist, was what purported to be a biographical sketch of Barack Obama that has become one of the most effective -- and baseless -- Internet attacks of the 2008 presidential season. During that time, polls show the number of voters who mistakenly believe Obama is a Muslim rose -- from 8 percent to 13 percent between November 2007 and March 2008.

Wow, that's one effective attack - changing the percent that believe Obama's a "radical Muslim" by 5 percent (based on their claim alone)./sarc

Geing criticised by the Washington Post should be looked upon as a badge of Honor.They need to do that more often.

[missnry]

In the run up to the 2004 election, Martin admitted to the Post's Mosk that he had circulated the claim that since Obama was born to a Muslim father, Barack himself would be considered a Muslim by birth to any other Muslim.

There is one thing that Barack Hussein Obama Jr cannot change. He was born to a Muslim father. That is the truth that he cannot dispute!

People email and post about him being sworn in using a Koran, which is false. Emails which include the Koran swearing in discredit the other truths about his Muslim background.

Nice to know that our VRWC creds are still intact.

Y'all gotta see this!

[Ratblaster]

I swear to Allah and his prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him,) that I am not nor have ever a Muslim.

Salam, Allahu Akbar Barack Hussein Obama II

[PaleoBob]

Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim.

There. WaPo can quote FR as they wish.

[reasonisfaith]

I don’t get it. If Barack Obama is Muslim, what’s the reason for hiding it?

It’s all just kind of strange.

At IslamTomorrow.com Sheik Yusuf Estes writes:

"Revert" As Opposed to "Convert" [to Islam]

I like to use the word "revert" as opposed to the word "convert" as it more suits the occasion of a person returning back to his natural condition at birth. The baby is born in true surrender, submission, obedience and peace with his Creator. And this is the desirable position of the Muslim, to be in peace and submission to the Will of Allah (God in English). Instead of thinking in terms of "converting" people over to Islam, it is better understood that they are simply returning back to their natural state at birth. And this is from the teachings of our beloved prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him. (Muslims should always say "Peace be upon him/them" when referring to any of the prophets).

Like A Baby

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Every child is born on the "fitrah" (natural inclination) of "Islam" (surrender, submission and peace to the Creator on His Terms). And it is their parents who raise them up to be Jews, Christians or fire worshippers."

From the Sheik's perspective, EVERYONE is BORN Muslim.

So what the hey?

[txroadkill]

what I don't get is why in the world would they want to link the “Obama is a Muslim” to the place that is responsible for outing Dan Rather and Memogate. Seems like they would want to link it to a place with no credibility instead.

[Doctor Raoul]

You know I'm beginning to get tired of the Washington Post riding Free Republic's coat tails everytime the Post thinks it needs credibility.

Hey libs at the Post, do your own work and maybe someday you'll have a reputation as good as Free Republic's...

[Gondring]

They're right...using the name "Barack Hussein Obama" just right of us.

From now on, he should be known as "Al Taqiyya Kitman" ;-)

Happy birthday Barack,

You claim you're a citizen,

[Jeff Head]

Obama's own website says the following:

"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."

I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.

1. Did or did not Obama recite the Islamic call to prayer from memory in an interview? Did he or did he not, in that interview refer to it as one of the most beautiful sounds at sunset? - [Reference Obama:Man of the World, March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristoff, NY Times Select]

   From that article:

   “I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.
   
   Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

2. Do or do not many Islamics consider the recital of that prayer as a defacto part of fundamental Islamic/Muslim religious membership? [Reference The Adhan (Ilsamic call to prayer)].

   Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
   Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
   I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
   I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
   I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
   I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
   Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
   Come to Success. Come to Success.
   Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
   There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.

3. Did or did not Obama attend, as a youth, Muslim schools and was he or was he not considered a member of the religion of his step father in Indonesia? [See notes and reference to number 1 above. Obama admits it himself.]
   
   
4. Was or was not Obama registered in his elementary school classes as a "Muslim" requiring that he study Islamic principles and the Koran each day? [Reference Barack Obnama's Muslim childhood.]

   From that article:

   Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
   
   Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
   
   The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name ‘Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. … Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
   
   The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."

Clearly, the record is at significant odds with Obama's campaign, and his own statements. Why?

Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.

If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?

The answer is plain...we can't.

His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.

WHO IS THIS MAN?

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[Santino Sonny Corleone]

the more they debunk it, worst it is for Obama.

“Obama is not a Muslim” does him no favor, as people will wonder about it and his name. Ultimately, many will conclude that he probably is, even if he is not.

Geeze - the odd thing is that I'd prefer it if Mr. Barak Hussein Obama was a declared muslim.

Right now his current position is that of a 20 year member of a 'church' that blasphemed the Name of Christ by preaching Hate and racism. He also blasphemes the Name of Christian by being a zealous defender of abortions and abortionists (even bottling up a law that would have protected a healthy baby who escaped the late term abortionists scissors)... The islamics can have this guy on their team -- he is NOT a Christian.
