Using the church in this way is....a sin.

He is a member of the UCC which is the most liberal Christian church out there.

Irrespective what religion he embraces, he’s made it clear that he would not stand up to radical Islam.

“Going to church” counts for jack in my book. Let’s hear him stand up and recite the Nicene Creed.

He is an APOSTATE MUSLIM. In Sharia, the punishment is death.

was as much an observation of faith as it was a rejoinder to baseless e-mailed rumors that he is a Muslim

Baseless? More agenda-driven reporting without a byline.

One think he can’t do is get all misty eyed talking about the faith of his fathers like Romney does.

He’s never been a Muslim.

Obama is a guaranteed muslim. According to the Koran, deception and lying are acceptable tactics to assist in killing and/or subjugating the infidels. Obama’s lying is all part of the game to persuade the gullible that he is what he says he is, not what he was and remains.

This whole “Hussein squelches internet Muslim rumors” thing has a certain Clintonian whiff to it. I surf this here internet dealy more than most and I simply did not see any particular “Obama is a Mulim” rumor mongering over the last few days or weeks. So here is a specific question to my fellow FReepers: Who here has seen a substantial uptick in rumors of Barry’s Islam-ticity over the last little while that would justify his campaign staging an event such as yesterday’s church visit? Anyone?

Someone here had a link for a concise life timeline of Obama. Would love to get that!

If he isn’t a Muslim then he is not much of a Christian..

Here are their points, written by a committee back in 1981:

Commitment to God
Commitment to the Black Community
Commitment to the Black Family
Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

This is where the post came fromI had read before the church he attended wasn’t far from muslim both hate whites......http://camelsnose.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/is-barack-obamas-trinity-church-racist/

*****

Likely neither....
He will consider the taking of such an oath contrary t his worldview/faith/what-have-you... pick one.

Lemme see....
He considers a lapel pin of the US flag an inappropriate symbol of patriotism...
He does not respect or salute the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.

Naaahhhh.... the answer is "neither"....

JMHO

rumors that he is a Muslim and poses a threat to the security of the United States.


I really get a kick out of advancing this rumor to my liberal friends when we discuss candidates. It’s fun watching the steam coming out of their ears and nose as I voice my concerns about his muslim beliefs with a serious expression on my face.

I overheard some elderly Democrats at a diner the other day who all seemed to think he was a Muslim, and they would not support him as a result.

Absent any affinity to "Jihadist" Islam, and despite the fact that he is too much of a lightweight to be POTUS anytime soon, why should Obama's religious fiath, even if it were Islam, disqualify him as a candidate or as POTUS?

Well before September 11, and to this day, we have very decent neighbors who just "happen" to be Islam, a faith that they share with the surgeon who saved my life, with my dentist, with my family physician, and several friends and colleagues during the years when I "worked for someone else."

My Muslim neighbors wept as they held candles with others in our neighborhood for a few evenings after September 11. You see, they are Americans, as are all of the aforementioned "Muslims" I have mentioned.

My neighbors were quite afraid of the anti-Muslim backlash they expected, and took me up on my offer to apply my training in security and executive protection to, for a couple of weeks, take them shopping and elsewhere in my own vehicle. They declined our invitation to stay in our home, guarded by my dogs, alarm system, and my firepower, which would be kept in abeyance, unless our police department was not up to their usually short response time. My size, deliberate choice of clothing, and demeanor served us well as we quietly, unobtrusively, and without incident went about our business away from our neighborhood. A .45 H & K provided comforting backup from the recesses of my coat as well, and we were accompanied by an "overwatch" vehicle driven by one of my professional associates.

None of my firends beat their wives (or husbands) were burkhas, have a private pilot's license, or have any apparent interest in firearms or the martial arts.

I'm embarassed to say that I had run background checks on some of them when I first met them.

None of them have given any indication that they have a "problem" with Romney's religion -- or anyone else's for that matter -- noting that many of them moved from more southern climes where they were regarded and treated with disdain by their "Christian" neighbors... Happily, we learned that we live in an area in which folks are quite tolerant and well-educated, albeit "liberal"....

I’m curious if his background would/could come into play should he be elected in regard to dealing with Muslim countries.
