NEW YORK - Barack Obama wants everyone to know: I am not a Muslim!
Under a headline reading "Just because the L.A. Times writes it, does not make it true," the Obama campaign took issue Thursday with a story that said the Illinois Democrat attended services at a mosque and "bowed to Allah" when he was a small boy in Indonesia.
"Barack Obama is not and has never been a Muslim," the campaign stressed. "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ."

"I was a little Jakarta street kid," he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Quran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics -- and more likely to be aware of their nationalism -- if he once studied the Quran with them.
Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
An IslamoChristian?
His old friends say different. Hillary wants to know.
huh? Who is correct?

His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama's grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both of the schools he attended.
That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said Zulfin Adi, who describes himself as among Obama's closest childhood friends.
I guess Saddam HUSSEIN wasn't a Muslim either.
Uh oh. Sounds like flat-out lies to me. We could have a meltdown here.
The WSJ ran a piece on him earlier today saying that his old school friends testify that he was registered as a Muslim in the Catholic school as well as the Muslim one, and that he DID go to the mosque, although how often is still not certain.
Is this guy a citizen?
Just blows your mind, doesn't it, how they can look you in the eye and lie!

How long till the MSM starts calling him "Barry"?
And, oh yes, he never, ever lies either.
Not that there is anything wrong with that !!
Well, at least we agree on something.
He lies a lot, so we at least know for sure he's a Democrat.

If he walks like a duck, is named Hussein, and went to a madrassa, he's a muzzie. He's a muzzie masquerading as a Christian.
Poor Barry Obama cannot catch a break!
