The claim, made in the conservative Insight magazine, also revealed the Machiavellian scheming of political activists in a presidential race still nearly two years away.
It was aimed at tarnishing Mr Obama’s image in the week he announced himself as a White House contender. But the article also claimed that the madrassa allegations came from aides to Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama’s main opponent for the Democratic nomination.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Obama is a Muslim. He can say whatever he wants and go to church for good political stature, but the fact remains that in the Arab world and under Sharia or Islamic law, if one is born from a Muslim father then he/she is Muslim. So despite what Obama says about being a Christian, he remains a Muslim in the eyes of the Arabs.
Obama's stepfather is also a Muslim, though according to Obama's bio his father and stepfather were both non-practicing Muslims... hmmm how convenient.
There is an article posted on FR 2 years ago about Obama's lies. Take a look, it is very interesting.
Here is part of the article:
"I feel sad having to expose Barack Obama," says Martin, "but the man is a complete fraud. The truth is going to surprise, and disappoint, and outrage many people who were drawn to him. He has lied to the American people, and he has sought to misrepresent his own heritage."Obama's life story is vastly different from the one he portrays. My point: if he will lie about his mother and father, what else is he lying about? Can we expect 'bimbo eruptions?'
"Fiction: Obama stated in his Convention speech: 'My father ... grew up herding goats.' The 'goat herder' claim has been repeated endlessly. It is a lie.
Fact: Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama was a prominent and wealthy farmer. His son, Obama's father, was a child of privilege, not privation. He was an outstanding student, not a herdsman."Fiction: Obama was given an 'African' name.
Fact: Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion. I am a strong supporter of the Muslim community, and I believe Muslims have been scapegoated. Obama has a great opportunity to be forthright. Instead, he has treated his Muslim heritage as a dark secret. His grandfather was named 'Hussein.' That is an Arabic-Muslim, not African, name. Hussein was a devout Muslim and named his son, Barack Senior, 'Baraka.' Baraka is an Arabic word meaning 'blessed.' Baraka comes out of the Koran and Arabic, not Africa.
If Obama lies about his heritage for political expedience, and while the war on terrorism is primarily a fight against Islamic extremists, how loyal would President Obama be to his own religious heritage?
