resident Obama is a Christian.
What he means by that no one has ever been very sure. But it is what he claims nonetheless.
When callers to my radio shows claim, "He is a Muslim." I remind them--quickly--that he has only ever said that he is a Christian.
This usually then incites various discussion points about the validity of his claim vs. theirs.
Frequently the conversation will dwell upon the fact that his name is Islamic. To respond to this I simply point out that many former Muslims still carry their given name upon conversion to Christianity.
They may say, "He seldom attends church." A valid point and weighty criticism but still not an essential element to one being a follower of Jesus Christ as Messiah to secure one's salvation.
They will say, "He has treated Israel miserably." Another valid point, but far from being a core component of what defining oneself as a Christian truly is. (Though Christians do stand in solidarity with our friend and only ally in the region.)
They may criticize his former "pastor"--and well they should--because he is not a practitioner of Biblical theology. They may question the evidence of spiritual fruit in his life--yet he appears to live a life with his family that many in local churches can't seem to master.
They may say, "He has said things in the defense of countries (that are not our friends) that appear to be pro-Islam." Of this there is no argument.
This week he even went far out of his way to say that America is not at war with radical Islam.
Which is an odd take on reality, considering that the group we are attacking has ISLAMIC as the first word of the name they identify themselves by. Also odd because they claim the holy book of Islam as their scripture. They established an Islamic state, and named an Islamic prophet whose instructions they now follow.
So you understand our dilemma here.
A man whose faith he claims, while practicing precious little of it, declares that tens of thousands of people practicing another faith, are not in fact practitioners of that faith. And he declares this while being an expert in neither faith.
Head spinning yet?
Which brings us to the letter "N." ("Nun" in Arabic...)
It is the letter that--in the world of Islam--stands for a term of severe disrespect--The Nasrani--the ones who follow Jesus of Nazareth. (Not dissimilar to the "n" word that represents racial degradation in America.) Though it is not a racial term, it is a term of abject dishonor, disrespect, and even death.
It has been commonly used in the battle with ISIS. For when Islamic jihadists roll into an ancient Biblical area like that of Mosul, Iraq, they paint the letter "N" on the homes of Christians. The Christians are given anonymous phone calls in the night and instructed to convert to Islam, to flee, or to die. (Previously they had allowed Christians to pay a tax--under Islamic rule--but when the family goes to flee they now simply take everything they own except the clothes they are wearing.) They rape the Christian women--mothers and daughters--while fathers and brothers are forced to watch. They have beheaded children in at least two documented locations. And they have claimed Christian girls for overnight brides, where over the course of a week or so, one girl may be raped by as many as ten to fifty Islamic men. (Not Yezidi, not Christian, not Jewish, but Islamic.)
Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been literally obliterated, expunged, removed from ancient Bible lands in Iraq. And when the displaced Christians tell their story they say, "But at least we didn't have it as bad as the Christians in Syria." (*Perspective*)
President Obama claims to be a Nasrani, a follower of Christ, an "N" word marked for conversion, flight, or death.
Yet he is incapable--as is his entire staff, of labeling those who would kill him what they are--in word and deed--Islamic radicals.
It causes me to wonder if when the stakes truly count, and eternity is on the line, when his family is displaced or threatened with extinction, will his Christianity have been a banner of comfort and convenience, or of conviction even with consequence?
I know where I stand!
In is book he mentions being raised Muslim
Btw , whatever happened to his sister?
Natural Law
obama said he had “my Muslim faith”; it was the reporter who corrected him, erroneously
OMG.....THAT needs to be on EVERY THREAD!!!~! PLEASE!!!
You certainly are familiar with the adage that you can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink. It’s easy to blame someone else.
Islam cannot even agree with itself, however. There are Sunni and Shiite and they can get pretty ugly when they have their religious wars.
Sounds like a new chorus!
If it acts like a duck, it more than likely is a duck.
If it acts like an enemy islamist, it is an enemy islamist as far as I’m concerned.
The Congress has miserably failed in their oversight responsibilities, and I fear we’re all screwed.
If I ever had a close encounter with this...man, Secret Service notwithstanding, I’d be sorely tempted to vomit on him.
If anyone can find EVIDENCE of this, then we truly have our first "Manchurian Candidate" President, except not as we had expected. All along, we worried about someone who is an avowed Communist becoming President; a devout Muslim is worse, because at least the Communists didn't behead those who disagreed with their policies!
I do not believe that Obama is a Muslim.
Obama believes in no other god above himself.
"He is a Muslim...brought up in the faith and an imposter practicing Taqiyya perfectly as he was taught to do. The man is a fake, from his beginnings to this end. If you were an employer, would you hire a a person with this shakey history, sealed college records, etc? Well a voting majority of people did in this country twice. ..."

This is where I’m coming from as far as Obama is concerned (i.e. actions speak louder than words):
Matthew 7:15-20 (King James Version)
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
What is this guy talking about, saying Zero has only claimed to follow Jesus. Right on live TV he told Stephanopolis “my muslim faith”. This guy is sadly behind the curve of what all Freepers know.
This is precisely what I say when I post about the impostor.
Don’t listen to what he says, watch what he does.
He clearly hates America.
I think it will be interesting to see what he does when he leaves office and he no longer has to pretend to be something he’s not. Will he start dressing in Muslim garb and attend Muslim prayer services?
Steve Malzberg (radio host) thought Obama would publicly convert to Islam if he was re-elected in 2012. My guess is he will do it soon after he leaves office.
I can’t wait to hear what his daughters say when he leaves office and they’re old enough speak out. Their present home life is probably like “Mommy Dearest” with a gay Muslim twist, and I’m sure they’re building up a ton of resentment that will spill over when they’re no longer treated like princesses.
Really?
I had no idea that avowed communist Frank Marshall Davis was a muslim.
P.S. When talking about Barack 0bama Sr., I always say “0bama’s PUTATIVE father”... I think BHO Senior was just a handy sucker willing to marry a knocked up Stanley Ann for social cover, since Davis wasn’t going to marry her and give the bastard a name.
