I wondered when the apostasy issue would come up and where it would go.

I thought CNN said this story was untrue.

Whatever the whole story the men who went after his mother were awful hard up.

"Obama claims he is a Christian, that he and his wife Michelle are members of the United Church of Christ."

Obama may well have OTHERS saying he is a Christian, but on his Senate website one is given the opportunity to ponder "attends" vs "Membership".......what he has written on the website is probably factually correct.....but then if you know what "taqiyya" is to and for a Muslim addressing infidels, this is easy enough to understand.....

"Obama is especially proud of being a husband and father of two daughters, Malia, 8 and Sasha, 4. Obama and his wife, Michelle, married in 1992 and live on Chicago ’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ."

The part about Obama being educated in a madrassa is reportedly false.

This is an assinine article, I'm sure there are quite a few Freepers who can use the bible to demonstrate that most of the Christian candidates worship "false gods" etc. I know I've argued with them here.

Conservatives do not appeal to mainstream America when they raise stupid contorted arguments like this. Now I'll sit and wait while all the "experts" on the Koran tell me this whole thing is undeniable.

Right.

So, who ya gonna believe,... CNN or your own lyin' eyes?

Should Obama deny he ever was a Moslem, it will compound the problem in the eyes of Moslems.

And this is the only question that needs to be asked: Do you renounce the religion of Islam? No other question needs to be answered. Either "yes" or "no". End of story.

Freeper expatguy has done real deal gumshoe journalism in the neighborhood of Obama's childhood to find out the truth,

read about it here:

and his blog:

In short, Obama did NOT attend a madrassa, but a government school, which does have required religious education, but it was not a privately run Madrassa within a mosque as has been reported elsewhere.

Muslims undercover, like the 9/11 hijackers, don't have to behave like normal muslims if it helps them blend in with their enemies. At least this was reported after 9/11. They drank partied with women etc.

He is the product of a black Moslem from Kenya, Barrack Hussein Obama, and a white atheist from Kansas, Shirley Ann Dunham, who met at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu.

A black muslim! a white atheist!! University of Hawaii!!! Sounds like a new Fox sitcom.

Obama also attended a Catholic school while in Indonesia. How come nobody is claiming that means he is a Catholic?

[Gritty]

In short, Obama did NOT attend a madrassa

OK. Assume this part is not entirely accurate, and he went to a Muslim government school instead of a Saudi backed Muslim school...

What about the rest of the article that doesn't deal with his specific Muslim schooling in his childhood years? There's more here besides that point.

[Fred Nerks]

Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name "Barry Soetoro"
School documents listed Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen born in Honolulu, Hawaii on 4 August 1961. Barry's religion was listed as Islam.

School documents further record Barry's father as "L Soetoro Ma" who worked as an official of the Director General's office in the TNI

Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya.

One person that can be trusted is Dr. Jack Wheeler, author of the Reagan Doctrine and a true conservative.

[Fred Nerks]

Which provides the perfect opportunity for an enterprising journalist to ask him at a press conference if he is: 1. Afraid of Moslem assassination attempts as punishment for being in Islamic eyes an apostate? 2. Willing to publicly call upon all Moslems around the world to renounce such punishment and declare instead that Moslems are fully free to convert to another religion?

Delicious! Like an insect caught in a web...

What about the rest of the article that doesn't deal with his specific Muslim schooling in his childhood years? There's more here besides that point.

If he has Muslim leanings I could see him attending the Unitarian Churches, but not the United Church of Christ.

An earlier poster wanted to quibble over the use of attend versus being a member. In my experience, attend is a common use to express the church to which you belong.

The part about Obama being educated in a madrassa is reportedly false."

Then the time gap in his "life timeline" needs to be appropriately filled in.

All of us can fill in everything from birth to today. I can. You can. All Freepers can. Most all Americans can. A gap in time of approximately 4 years is nothing to overlook.

Born a Muslim, always a Muslim, or then a target for death from the radicals for changing "religions". Which is it?????
