My question is this: If Obama was indeed raised Muslim, as a President, a fatwa could be proclaimed against him as an apostate. This is not a small matter in terms of national security. The president could be conceivably targeted for assassination not just for political reasons, but out of religious duty. The only way around this is for Obama to declare himself a Muslim, and not a Christian convert. Either way, the question needs to be asked, and it certainly presents a problem for his presidential aspirations given the magnified security risk.

This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clintons camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.

So this blows the Clinton/Obama ticket theory out of the water. Unless people don't care if he's a Muslim (which wouldn't surprise me). If Obama makes just one appearance as a guest judge on "American Idol", that's it he's in.

Nice formulation! It couches the issue in terms that everybody can agree on, without appealing to anti-Muslim sentiment. Very nice, indeed!

If Romney's religious background becomes an issue so does Obama's.

She's hit on the one tactic that will endear her to people around here - attack him for the crime of being Muslim.

Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?The democrats just elected a muslim congressman. To them, America is the enemy. Hillary is taking a chance on this one. The democrat base will pick a muslim over an American any day.

So, Hillary is in open attack mode on Hussein Obama!
It's plain Hussein has water on the brain.

Ladies & gentlemen, I present to you the "Willie Horton" of the 2008 race. Remember it was THE DEMS who brought it up. That fact is likely to be forgotten by the media.

Although Indonesia is regarded as a moderate Muslim state, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that today most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims.
Oh for God's sake. The man was in school in Indonesia in the '60s. It doesn't matter a damn bit what these schools teach today. Yale is much more liberal today than it was in the '60s when GWB was in college. Does that mean he's a closet liberal. Ignorant article.
The attack on Obama should be the claim he is a person that can work across the aisle with Republicans, compromise, mend the sharp divide found in Washington DC today. The following are a few of Obama's positions.
I'm wondering which of these he is willing to compromise on. My bet is that his idea of compromise is crossing the aisle and voting in favor of naming an aircraft carrier after a Republican. |

So much for that Clinton/Obama ticket.

I have heard that the penalty for leaving Islam is death, so I am not an expert on this. So this premise does not sound far-fetched to me and is worth consideration.

No one cares if he is Muslin or Christian as a US Senator or President.
But, one billion true believers are bound by the Koran to kill the bastard for offending the religion of peace.

Well. We've all speculated on where all those sleeper cells might be hiding. I guess Hillary just uncovered one.
Go get 'em, Hillary!

There is much more than the issue of apostacy to consider in regard to Obama's Muslim upbringing. I think the fact that the Koran states that it is alright to lie and cheat a kafir, is of far greater concern.
Anyway, now that Hillary has raised the issue, the question for us is, "Why did Obama try to cover up his Muslim roots?"

What's amusing about all of this. . . is the utter huff ALL the Democrats would now be in if a REPUBLICAN had spread this information. . .
Hypocrisy, the Democratic Party has is down, cold. . . .
