Is Barack Obama a Christian or a Muslim? Who cares? The President of the United States has the same religious freedoms as the rest of us, does he not? Of course, he does. Wikipedia lists his religion as “Christianity”. Done deal, right? Maybe not. There seems to be growing suspicions that he might actually be a Muslim. Let me be clear. Barack Obama’s personal and political background was probably the most scrutinized and meticulously investigated of any presidential candidate in recent history, wasn’t it? Well, actually, no, it sure as hell wasn’t. There was a dearth of documentation from the president’s early years, scholastic and professional records, etc., that was, at best, extremely murky, if available at all. Hell, there are folks in the Federal Witness Protection Program whose backgrounds are far more apparent and forthcoming in comparison!! Not only did the main stream media either completely ignore the candidate’s radical past and associates, but when another candidate or a member of the more conservative media attempted to delve into any facet of the candidate’s resume, other than the official campaign version, they were fiercely attacked by the sycophantic, state-controlled Propaganda Wing of the Democratic Party (MSM).
Why would Mr. Obama’s campaign and the Lame Stream Media “mislead“ (that’s the politically correct word for LIE) the American people regarding his religious association?
Perhaps the Liberal-Progressive Party felt that if a Christian introduced the avalanche of destructive legislation that the President continues to pass at such a feverish pace, it would not raise as many red flags as it would if a person, whose religious tenets instruct him to "fight and slay the pagans (or infidels or unbelievers) wherever you find them", and to substitute Sharia Law for the Constitution, were to introduce the same legislation. Sharia Law… that’s where, if you steal a loaf of bread, they cut off your hands; if your wife or daughter commits adultery, she could be stoned to death; or, if you’re homosexual, keep it to yourself, because your family or friends might rat you out and that, too, is punishable by death. Sharia Law… just a few of the highlights. Hey, what’s not to like??
The Christian faith has evolved considerably from the days of the Spanish Inquisition, but, Islam… maybe not so much.
Perhaps the President’s religious belief system is not as trivial or irrelevant as it once appeared to be.
Is “a nous la liberte” french for “noob”?
Just saying...
Lots of editing and proofreading needed.
Candidate Hillary passed this out when she was his primary opponent.
“The government cannot apply a religious test”
No, but the people can.
When someone is begging you to believe them, it is the sign of a lie. He simply cannot state he is a Christain. He cannot state what church he belongs to. He cannot state who is Christain mentor is. He cannot state why he cancels national day of prayer by hosts Ramadan events at the WH. He cannot state why he has no Christmas message but the NASA director made it their first priority to have a Islam outreach program. I think when your something, it is very easy to state.
Like yesterday, I went to work from 7am -5pm.
If I have to say, Yesterday I went to work yesterday from 7-5. Really. I promise. Then I showed you the mapquest and the estimated mileage, and then the change in odometer on my car. I am sure you as well as any reasonable person would have their doubts.
This thing about Obamas religion, is mostly more about Obama in is consitent insulting lying. Americans are reasonable people. He does not act like a Christain, he does not embrace Christainity, but he begs us to believe he is one. Why does he want us to believe him so badly?
My Daddy always used to say;
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck THEN ITS A DUCK.
That wasn’t a Christian Church he was attending in Chicago no matter what they call themselves.
I do not think he knows what he is. I suspect he wants to be Muslim but does not like how the world would perceive that . His mother was an atheist, his grandparents universalists. So he has no concept of the God of Christianity.
He joined Wrights church for political reasons not spiritual ones.. when he went he liked the socialist message.
I think he did not convert to Islam totally because of his wife, who seems to also be an atheist
The mans physical and intellectual life reflect his spiritual condition.. a mess.
Amen to that.
The msm would rather discuss this than discuss the 500,000 people who lost their jobs last week.
Nearly 2 million people a month are losing their jobs compared to the 790,000 lost during a single month at the end of the Bush administration.
Obama isn’t saying he’s a Christian. Right now he’s letting his spokespeople say it. And I don’t ever remember him saying “I am not a muslim.”
I remember this gem from my days of trolling a lib board:
“[When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in an American flag, and carrying the Cross.]”
Note the tagline ...
I think Obama is too narcissistic and arrogant to worship any higher power. But its pretty obvious he has more respect for the Muslim religion than he does for Christianity. In fact he looks at conservative Christians, which dominate most denominations, as the opposition. As an enemy even. And so do Muslims, which is why he is more comfortable with them.
I think in his situation he knows he can’t “come out” as a Muslim.. But if you look over his “reign” what more could he do to promote Islam than what he has done? He hasn’t done a thing that I know of to promote any other religion, especially Christianity. Remember him having the Christ symbol covered at Georgetown? There are so many examples. I don’t know any Christians that have such a soft spot for the Muslim prayer, traditions, etc.
I also think we should be on the offensive. Encourage him in the name of “freedom of religion” to “come out”. The MSM shouldn’t work so hard to convince us that he is a Christian. If nothing’s wrong with the mosque at Ground Zero, then nothing’s wrong with Obama being a Muslim, right???
The bigger question is not if he is a Muslim. It is why he would hide that he is. We do have freedom of religion in this country and if he were a Muslim it would not matter. The problem is that not being truthful is more about his character. My guess is that is a pretty good quality you would want in the POTUS!
If Islam were merely a belief system - then it wouldn’t be so troublesome. It is a system of government, writ large to encompass every aspect of life for the individual, as well as for the aggregate.
The reason why libs despise christianity so much, IMO, is because it espouses a moral imperative to do what is right, as opposed to islam’s “do as you’re told” message.
How about a loyalty test? One cannot be a devout muslim and still be a devout believer in the representative republic style of government where individual liberty is paramount. (Like the U.S. used to be)
