In a shocking interview yesterday on the Sean Hannity Radio Show, author Ed Klein said Barack Obama’s former pastor helped Obama accept Christianity without having to renounce Islam. The Daily Caller reported:
Klein also said Wright told him he “made it comfortable” for Obama to accept Christianity without having renounce his “Islamic background,” which Klein said he has on tape.

Klein spoke more on this in a separate interview with NewsMax:
Klein says Obama originally sought out Wright to discuss community activism.
“Quickly the conversations turned from picking up garbage on the street and getting streetlights put up on street corners to political matters and religious matters,” Klein says. “And the Rev. Wright turned into really a substitute father figure, who guided Obama in the two major areas of his life.”
The first area was Obama’s identity — just who was he?
“Obama was steeped in Islam but knew nothing about Christianity,” Klein says.
Klein asked Wright if he converted Obama from being a Muslim into a Christian.
“He said, I don’t know about that. but I can tell you that I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam,” Klein says.
The second area was Obama’s political philosophy. Wright introduced Obama to Black Liberation theology.

What is truly shocking is the amazing grace of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ. The easiest thing in the world is for someone to get saved but it cost God everything. Jesus Christ became answerable for every depravity ever committed by everyone. He took upon Himself the whole brunt of judgement and wrath of Almighty God for every sin and depravity that ever was or will be committed. The whole weight of God's wrath for sin fell upon Jesus. But the sacrifice (Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God) was greater then the judgment! He cried "IT IS FINISHED!" He rose again. Hallelujah!
Now every Muslim, murderer, mugger, and marauder are a prayer away from eternal life and heaven. None of us has to be cleaned up ahead of time either. Jesus already did all of that. The moment we receive Jesus, all of our past present, and future sins are washed away and we receive the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace to reign in life for ever and ever! Hallelujah!
In our political zeal, let us not forget that God cares about souls much more than he cares about political philosophies. Thank God our future and destiny does not depend on the judgements and requirements of man. Thank God we are free. Thank God for His amazing grace.
And he certainly didn't learn anything true about Jesus Christ from Wright and his Black Liberation Theology:
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
The document is verbatim from the files of Jeremiah Wright's TUCC website, ca 2008 -- when Øbozo had been attending there for 20 years.
All I did was add emphasis.
Snopes is run by an old hippy couple out of their trailer in the San Fernando Valley.
See #104 for Black Liberation Theology in Wright's church's "statement of faith"...
Not a surprise, although it’s good to have further confirmation.
A number of other factors point in this direction.
Rev. Wright was originally a Black Muslim himself, before he became a “Christian” pastor. But he was still essentially a black Muslim. I think he made the change because it got him a larger congregation, with more money, power, and influence flowing in to him. Farakahn had already pretty much sewed up the Black Muslim element in Chicago with his Nation of Islam.
Before Wright’s church website was sanitized, it was discovered and discussed here in FR that Muslims were welcomed to attend services at Wright’s church, and that there was no requirement that they should ever be baptized.
There is no evidence—such as a baptismal certificate or testimony by witnesses—that Obama ever was baptized. Nor has he ever spoken about it.
He made that famous Freudian slip on TV, that McCain had never attacked him for “my Muslim faith,” which was then corrected by the interviewer as “My Christian faith.”
The penalty for anyone leaving the Muslim faith is death. But no one in the Muslim world has ever issued a fatwah against Obama, as they have against other prominent figures who have left Islam. Obviously clerics all over the Muslim world believe that Obama is still a Muslim, or they would be attacking him for this.
Finally, there was Obama’s first major international appearance—when he addressed not England, not our allies, not the UN, but the Muslim world.
There’s more. But the evidence is pretty overwhelming. And absolutely no evidence, beyond his obvious lies, that he has ever been a Christian.
Thanks for the ping.
SRM, you are responsible for this a-hole being POTUS! CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NPR, MSNBS etc etc etc! You are all responsible for this. This guy should have been vetted from day one! All you did, and continue to do, is cover and lie for this guy! This is all on you! A pox on every one of your houses!
Thanks servo1969.
And, mom in law practices Santoria at the white house.
Remember the choral director who was murdered right before or after the election? Dead choir directors can tell no tales.
so bambam is a muzzcomm ??? whodathunkit ???
Even the Teleprompter knows Obama is a Muslim.
Once again...you have misread what I wrote. The conversation was about REVEREND WRIGHT not Obama.
“Obama was steeped in Islam but knew nothing about Christianity,” Klein says.

That is a threesome for history : First black, first Gay, first Muslin, and maybe first immigrant.
We just need to get him to fess up to the others too.
I don’t doubt for a minute that Obama went to Wright’s church to get the lingo right so he could pass himself off as a Christian. He knew he could not go very far as a Muslim in American politics. His supposed Freudian slip of “my Muslim religion” in his interview with Stephanopolis was only a slip because he spoke truthfully rather than guardedly for a change. Jesus said we would know one another by our “fruit” and this pretender has an abundance of evil fruit.
Didn't he claim Wright baptized his daughters, Malia and Sasha? I wonder if THEY are really Christians? What about Michelle? Is SHE a Christian?
“Klein asked Wright if he converted Obama from being a Muslim into a Christian.
“He said, I don’t know about that. but I can tell you that I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam,” Klein says.

So basically Rev. Wright is admitting in a backdoor way that Obama is still a Muslim. Obama never converted. And so the lie that he was always a Christian is proven.
