There has been a firestorm of controversy over the course of the last several days regarding Barack Obama's religious affiliations. This comes in the wake of Obama's endorsement of the mosque scheduled to be built in the shadow of Ground Zero, and a newly released Pew Research Center poll indicating that almost 1 in 5 Americans believe Obama is a Muslim.
In every news account of the Pew survey, it is stated that the results show that people "incorrectly" or "wrongly" believe Obama is a Muslim. But these accounts fail to point out facts which indicate that Obama has an Islamic background, and that according to Islamic law, once a Muslim, always a Muslim.
Here are the facts:
Barack Obama's father was a Muslim, and as such, Barack was born a Muslim under Islamic law as it is understood. This is indisputable. And even though his father supposedly renounced his religion, it is irrelevant. His mother's faith (it is said she was a Christian but this remains in dispute) is also of no consequence.
Obama was raised for a time in Kenya and attended a predominantly Muslim school. Insight Magazine reported that he attended a Madrassa, and, despite some news organizations claiming to have debunked that report, Insight stood by its story.
Obama has made matters worse by refusing to release his long form birth certificate, which has given rise to a theory on the part of "birthers" that there may be something he is trying to conceal with regards to his religious affiliation.
Barack Obama's claim that he converted to Christianity is viewed through the eyes of the Islamic world as a crime worse than murder. In other words, you cannot renounce the Muslim faith.
Obama attended a "Christian" church in Chicago pastor-ed by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a former Muslim and black nationalist who practiced and preached black liberation theology. In the 20 years Obama spent in that church, he heard sermons that echoed many of the sentiments of the Islamic world toward western society.
During the course of the campaign for the presidency in 2008, Obama attempted to cover up his Islamic background. Subsequent to his election, however, he has proudly professed his Muslim upbringing, and gone out of his way to reach out to and extol the virtues of the Islamic world, with trips to the Middle East, in which he bowed down before the King of Egypt, his willingness to sit down with Islamic leaders of nations that are state sponsors of terror without precondition, and even the appointment of a NASA Administrator, whose primary mission is to reach out to the Muslim community and make them feel good about themselves.
He has also made it the hallmark of his administration to eliminate the war on terror, re-labeling it an overseas contingency operation, and referring to terrorist attacks as man-made disasters. His own Attorney-General refuses to use the term "radical Islam".
Since his presidency began, Obama has not been seen attending any Christian church. He claims he does not want to cause a distraction. Funny how previous presidents have been shown with Bible in hand, walking into their churches, even if it was a deliberate photo opportunity.
And now, there is Obama's blessing on the new mosque being planned near the hallowed ground where nearly 3000 of our fellow citizens were brutally murdered on September 11, 2001.
This has led many Americans to question Obama's leadership, his loyalty, and most importantly, his faith.
Some are attributing the belief by one-fifth of the public that Obama is a Muslim to misinformation by the media, coupled with a growing dissatisfaction with his job performance, attracting them to negative labels.
Yet when he professes to be a Christian, but the evidence shows an empathy for Islam, it becomes clear to many Americans where this president's mindset is planted. In Islam.
The debate has ended. Obama is a Muslim.

Um, David, I think you meant Indonesia.
"Incorrectly."
"Wrongly."
"Unexpectedly."
...they are actively providing cover for Hussein.
Darn, I was hoping that at least one libtard would have responded with one of their standard non-sequitors.
Oh well, I can wait for my afternoon giggle.
That's just the lying liberal media giving their opinion instead of reporting facts.
Unless someone can produce pics of him praying on a rug facing East in the Oval Office, I doubt it. However, his support of Islam and their efforts over Israel is very disturbing, something a Christian would never do. Israel is the basis of the Christian faith and destroying Israel would be too tempting for Obama.
He is most definitely a Marxist and is looking to destroy America.
It is not the liberal media - it is ALL of TV. Every network which owns every cable channel. They all have big deals in the middle east and saudi shareholders.
ObamaCare is the first jizya or Islamic tax on non-muslims. Muslims are exempt from the law.
This is done in Islamic controlled countries, like the USA, where muslims tax non-muslims. There is no doubt Islam is in control of America - all the TV networks support the victory mosque, they all scream Obama is a christian and they all think islam is moderate and tolerant.
From the article:
“Obama was raised for a time in Kenya...”
Umhhh - “Kenya” is not “Indonesia”.
I have little idea what the Bamster’s religious beliefs are (if he actually has any) - he’s certainly more sympathetic to Muslims than Christians (he can find time for a Ramadan dinner, but blows off the National Prayer Breakfast, as an example).
But it helps to get facts straight if one’s trying to argue a contentious point.
OOPS! Obama Slips - Admits Muslim Faith

...luckily an MSM loyalist was there to keep Obama on message.
0bama attended a madrassa in Indonesia, he never went to any school (that we know of) in Kenya.
0bama bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, among others, Egypt has a president and a prime minister.
And I think the author meant Saudi Arabia.
Barack Hussein 0bama is a Muslim - there is no doubt about it.

LOL. I didn’t read that far as it is a rehash of so many similar articles. He isn’t very well read, is he?
People like this author makes people like us look stupid.
how many Christians do you know, would say that the prettiest sound they have heard is the muslim call to prayer????
I think Egypt’s last king was the rotund King Farouk, who was deposed about 50 years ago by Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Muslim or not, he’s a big time sympathizer.
And that’s what really matters
The 'fair and balanced' folks have been unanimous in parroting the 'wrongly' line and Juan Williams led the 'Palin and Limbaugh' chant just a few minutes ago.
On the money. But two or three factual errors need correction to avoid discrediting the argument. He groveled before the government of Egypt, but Egypt has no king. He bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia.
And he likely was BORN in Kenya, though that is not yet absolutely proven, but he was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia.
Also, he did NOT attend a Madrassa, as far as I know. He attended a Catholic school, but was registered there as a Muslim and studied the Koran there.
