Barack Hussein Obama: Once a Muslim, Always A Muslim
DebbieSchlussel.com ^ | 19 DEC 2006 | Debbie Schlussel

Posted on 12/19/2006 5:21:02 AM PST by radar101

Many months ago, readers began asking me whether Barack Obama is Muslim. Since he identifies as a Christian, I said, "no," and responded that he was not raised by his Kenyan father.

But, then, I decided to look further into Obama's background. His full name--as by now you have probably heard--is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Hussein is a Muslim name, which comes from the name of Ali's son--Hussein Ibn Ali. And Obama is named after his late Kenyan father, the late Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., apparently a Muslim.

And while Obama may not identify as a Muslim, that's not how the Arab and Muslim Streets see it. In Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, so are you. And once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You cannot go back. In Islamic eyes, Obama is certainly a Muslim. He may think he's a Christian, but they do not.

Then, there are the other items in his background. As best-selling author Scott Turow wrote in Salon, Obama went to a Muslim school for two years in Indonesia. His mother, Anna, married an Indonesian man (likely another Muslim, as Indonesia is Muslim-dominated and has the largest Islamic population in the world).

And Obama has a "born-again" affinity for the nation of his Muslim father, Kenya, and his Kenyan sister. (Although Kenya is largely Christian, it has a fast-growing Muslim population that has engaged in a good deal of religious violence and riots against Christians. And Kenyan courts will apply Sharia law, when the participants are Muslim.) Wrote Turow:

Obama's father died in a traffic accident in Nairobi in 1982, but while Obama was working in Chicago, he met his Kenyan sister, Auma, a linguist educated in Germany who was visiting the United States. When she returned to Kenya in 1986 to teach for a year at the University of Nairobi, Obama finally made the trip to his father's homeland he had long promised himself. There, he managed to fully embrace a heritage and a family he'd never fully known and come to terms with his father, whom he'd long regarded as an august foreign prince, but now realized was a human being burdened by his own illusions and vulnerabilities. So, even if he identifies strongly as a Christian, and even if he despised the behavior of his father (as Obama said on Oprah); is a man who Muslims think is a Muslim, who feels some sort of psychological need to prove himself to his absent Muslim father, and who is now moving in the direction of his father's heritage, a man we want as President when we are fighting the war of our lives against Islam? Where will his loyalties be?

Is that even the man we'd want to be a heartbeat away from the President, if Hillary Clinton offers him the Vice Presidential candidacy on her ticket (which he certainly wouldn't turn down)?

NO WAY, JOSE . . . Or, is that, HUSSEIN?

I don't think the guy is even a citizen.

He was born in Hawaii, to a mother from Kansas, and you think he's not a citizen?

Oh, God. Not another charismatic Democrat with "father issues". Lord and the Saints preserve us from another one of those.

Let's keep count of the number of times the "Harvard" education is mentioned by Obama or anyone else in his camp..

No he's not a citizen, or no you don't think that?

This one makes us sound paranoid, desperate, and pathetic.

Please, speak for yourself.

To be frank, I distrust an American who has too many vowels in his first name, especially if both sides of his family has been here for a couple hundred years. To be fair, I would have the same problem if I met a fellow with the same background who had dubbed himself "Lbnkrd." There's something afoot when there is an exotic name change, but no conversion on the road to Damascus. I realize that Obama is his "real" name, and am only speaking generally.

"But, I don't think it's good idea to attack him as 'former Muslim' when he has confessed to be a Christian now."

He is not a Christian. He may be "religious" but he
he is the antithesis of Christianity in more areas than his Muslim genes.

America will never elect an uber-liberal, apostate Muslim and self-admitted drug user to the Office of the President of the United States.

I pray that you are correct in this assessment. I've never heard anyone claim any qualification for B. Hussein Obama™ other than his race.

Obama is a politician with a heritage rooted in Islam, the religion of the fanatical enemy of the western world that seeks to destroy my country and your country, the United States of America.

Debbie Schlussel is a political hack with a heritage rooted in Nazi Germany, the fanatical enemy of the western world that seeks to destroy our country. Why should we trust her?
