Obama's grandma 'prays for him to convert to Islam' during Mecca visit

London, Nov 26 : US President Barack Obama's grandmother has admitted praying for him to convert to Islam while she was on a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Obama, whose middle name is Hussein, has always maintained he is a 'committed Christian'. But the news of his grandmother Sarah Omar's wish to convert to Islam follows a poll, which found one in five believes he is a Muslim.

During her visit, she reportedly told a Saudi newspaper, "I prayed for my grandson Barack to convert to Islam," reports the Daily Mail.

However, she refused to comment on his political matters. Although Obama's father was brought up in an Islamic household, the President was baptised at the Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, in 1988 and was an active member of the congregation for 20 years.

Ms Omar had just completed the hajj pilgrimage with Barack Obama's uncle Saeed Hussein Obama.

Obama's uncle Saeed Hussein Obama.

Sending Christmas cards to all those Husseins could get confusing.

Yeah, barry why don't you convert [back] to islam...your reputation is so far in the toilet now it couldn't hurt anymore to tell the truth...finally.

Too late. He was born one, named for three, educated as one and spoken from the heart as one. Maybe he never underwent a proper confirmation; but then, nobody’s ever been able to confirm anything about him anyway.

[Terry Mross]

They paid the old bag to say this so it’ll prove he’s NOT a muslim.

Many think her prayers have already been answered. How many times has he declared that the USA is “no longer a Christian nation?” How many times has he fawned and prostrated himself before the Muslims, issuing inane and embarassing proclamations to mark their savage holidays? Did he not recently extend his congratulations to those on the haj to Mecca, a supposedly religious observance that degenerated into an orgy of support for jihad and hatred for America?

Sarah Omar, Barack Obama's grandmother, is seen at her home in the Kenyan village of Kogelo in 2008. Omar, who is on hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, has said that she prayed for the American leader to convert to Islam, according to an interview with the Al-Watan Saudi newspaper.

The only thing you can confirm him as is a socialist atheist with narcissistic personality disorder.

Really. The Saudi newspaper interviewed obama’s grandmother and this is what they asked her. Sure. Why not.

[Theodore R.]

A “conversion” would so thrill the American people that millions of them would also “convert.” Then they would find there is still no “hope and change.” But they wouldn’t admit it.

[Dick Bachert]

She needn't have bothered. A mosque near Ground Zero? We’ll THINK about it when the area around the kaaba looks more like this.

"All men lose when freedom fails, and good men rot in filty jails. And those who cried "appease, appease," Are hanged (or, in this case, BEHEADED) by those they sought to please.”

buma’s grandmother & uncle go to mecca on Hajj pilgramage.

Somehow I don’t think this will be hitting the newsstands any time soon.

***They paid the old bag to say this so it’ll prove he’s NOT a muslim.***

Precisely!

He is already a moslem. She was probably holding him when he was snipped.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Isn't she just lovely.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Which is actually worse, being a Muslim or a follower of Black Liberation Theology in the Trinity United Church of Christ?

If he belonged to the Wahhabist Sect of Islam, it would probably be a toss-up.

In either case, he hates my white cracker a$$.

[nolongerademocrat]

That is a frightening sight!

I want someone to check the translation.

A Mecca "pilgrimage" usually results in a stampede of death by 7th century apes.

Go for it, granny, and take your precious little boy with you.
