The Mrs. Clinton moth may be getting a bit too close to the flame.

Madrassa

A typical madrassa usually offers two courses of study: a "hifz" course; that is memorisation of the Qur'an (the person who commits the entire Qur'an to memory is called a hafiz); and an 'alim course leading the candidate to become an accepted scholar in the community. A regular curriculum includes courses in Arabic, Tafsir (Qur'anic interpretation), shari'ah (Islamic law), Hadith (recorded sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad), Mantiq (logic), and Muslim History. Depending on the educational demands, some madrasahs also offer additional advanced courses in Arabic literature, English, and other foreign languages as well as science and world history.

Obama would be well advised to stay out of dark places in Arkansas as well as national parks in the D.C. area. Also flying in planes over the former Yugoslavia is not safe (as someone should have told Ron Brown.)

But the Insight allegations represent an exquisite double shot at the Democrats’ two leading White House contenders: it implies that Mr Obama, whose middle name is Hussein, is a closet Islamic extremist, and that Mrs Clinton is so rattled by his candidacy she is using underhand tactics to weaken him.

Double carom and plunk into the pocket.

calls himself a Christian and says that he believes in God. He attends a local church.

If that was true, why did he get sworn in on a koran? He's a lying bassturd. He's muslim....

That's nice for him to say.

But, here, Senator Clinton and us are on the same side. I don't like her - I hate him. Stop Obama first.

Who would believe that the Clinton campaign is using underhanded tactics?

And that's just sad. Fund used to be quite good. Apparently no more

I saw you post this statement on another thread about Obama Hussein. Curious as to why Fund thinks we shouldn't go there, did he explain why?

That such articles regularly appear in British newspapers, and not in the American MSM, is proof of the MSM's deference to Democrats.

Time wouldn't need to lay off so many employees if they dug into stories such as this. Would give us a reason to purchase the magazine. Instead we know that Time will tow the same line as the rest of the MSM, and so there is no reason to bother reading it.
