I guess American in Tokyo's post takes care of that lie!
"Dubai, United Arab Emirates ( CNN ) - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is preparing for "Mama Sarah", grandmother of U.S. President Barack Obama, to perform the Hajj this year, after the presentation of the UAE business man, Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim, take her "as his own son" to Mecca. Nile, "said Samir, a special adviser to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, the media advisor to Fahim, said to CNN Arabic Bureau, Al Fahim's visit to the grandmother's house, located in the Koqilo Kenya, which welcomed the "Mama Sarah, Obama's grandmother to the US President, the idea to be accompanied by him as if he were her son, " according to the Nile. He Fahim, who was appointed a goodwill ambassador for the Center Imsam, International Permanent Observer of the United Nations, wished to accompany the novelty, especially as he lost his mother and sister, if he wants to accompany Grandma, after he learned of their desire to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. It is expected "Mama Sarah" and her son with first reach to Dubai, to meet Fahim, and then go on to Mecca from thre during the pilgrimage season this year. Denied the grandmother, during the visit, the rumors which had been affected of its intention to change her religion to Christianity, but she affirming that she was born a Muslim and will remain so throughout their lives. The Nile, said, "Mama Sarah" Fahim had escorted on a tour of her home, where he was able to see the tomb of Al Fahim, Obama's father, in addition to brief him on the set of pictures hanging around the house, including pictures of Obama during his recent visit to Kenya in 2006. Fahim's visit to Kenya to follow-up programs to combat malnutrition in eastern and central Africa, and the camp which is a Maradona Academy to teach football to the children of Kenya, a program adopted by Al Fahim and the Argentine football legend Diego Maradona."
Folks, maybe now we know one of the reasons for the big bow to the King of Saudi Arabia by groveling Obama. He was probably trying to get a request in for VIP treatment to the "Custodian". You see, not only was the Dubai businessman Al Fahim her escort up to Mecca for the Hajj acting as her "son", she also had the special introduction of the King of Saudi Arabia to visit Mecca as a VIP. And, VIP or not, you CAN NOT got into Mecca if you are a kafeer or non-muslim, in fact the penalty for violation is death. So I think this settles it once and for all, this issue if the lady follows the Cross of Jesus, or barks at the Moon God at night..
