"I am curious why you chose to spell Christian with lower case?"

did you notice i had no capital letters in the post? when i'm writing informally -- on forums, in emails to people i know -- i often see no need to obey punctuation rules, unless my meaning becomes unclear.

"The are countless non-Catholics attending Catholic schools worldwide. They are always excused from religious instruction and ceremonies."

obama's "madrassah" had people of multiple faiths there. look, i'm not saying to vote for the guy. i'm just saying to quit the black helicopter style ravings about barack being or having been a muslim. he grew up religiously indifferent; he's now a theologically left-wing christian; and he's a left-wing democrat. there are plenty of reasons to oppose the guy besides these fantasies about madrassahs.

I challenge you to find one single post of mine where I wrote that Obama went to a madrassah -- there are none.

And -- I don't have fantasies.

The problem with Obama has less to do with his being a Muslim than his dissimulation. His campaign has repeatedly denied he was ever a Muslim but Obama was enrolled in both Jakarta schools as a Muslim and his teachers have described his Muslim studies.

Obama describes his mother as agnostic or atheist, yet there are photos of her on the Internet all dolled up in the Muslim outfit.

It's not whether he's a Muslim or not but why is he lying about the basic elements of his life?

After all, we're dealing with someone whose wanted to be president since the age of 8. He should have his story straight.

Then, there's that al Taqiyya thing.

>>Incidentally, Obama wrote an earlier autobiography which was published in 1995.

That's a really weird thing, right there.

Who writes an autobiography when they're under 35, and haven't really done much of anything?

Nice. I wish I'd had that, when the Lefties were all over FNC about the Osama madrassa story.

How quickly we forget. In post #52 on this thread, you write:

"I would suspect that he was a practicing Muslim during the time he spent at a madrassah in Indonesia."

Oh, I don't quibble about his politics. I'm just saying he's not Muslim.

I am sure that you have heard many times "it's not reality but what someone perceives."
In otherwords your opinion doesn't count (no offense meant - read on)

I believe the real situation is - - - - WHAT DO THE (1.5 Billion) MUSLIMs perceive? Because if you read the Koran and understand Islamic law - - - - the children of all Muslim fathers are CONSIDERED Muslim. Else, check out being an apostate. So, . . . . . the belief (perspective) is that 1.5 Billion + people of the world consider Barak Hueissen Obama to be a Muslim.

I would ask that Barak Obama do more than claim to be a Christian, I believe he should denounce Islam and the Koran where it states (paraphrased) that all the children of a Muslim are themselves Muslims. Let me hear that to really believe that his attendance at a "Christian" church is more than a sham.
