Obama was very much a Muslim when he was in Indonesia - I happen to live over here and have done an extensive amount of investigation in this matter.

I've been quite busy with work recently and have not had a chance to update my blog much - (I promise I will soon.) - but I can say that there is much more on Obama that the American people are unaware of.

What I can tell you is that Obama was a very devout Muslim as a child - what convinced me of this was the fact that his parents sought to even enroll a young Obama in "menjadi" classes in Indonesia as a child.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term "menjadi", it is Quran recitation classes where the students are taught to recite the Quran from their heart.

Here is an example of a young child reciting the Quran

What I can tell you is this - only the most fundamental of all Muslims will ever seek to enroll their children in such classes here in Indonesia and Malaysia.

I'm not sure what is more ridiculous, Obama himself or of the fact that the American people would buy Obama's lies - that his family was not devout Muslims in Indonesia.

It's completely understandable in a post 9/11 world that Obama would want to "play down" the details and the facts of his religious upbringing in Indonesia. Who would blame him?

Beckwith, I've included you in this - I've got much more info in the last few days on Obama in Indonesia - including details that might put this issue to rest once and for all.

Also FYI, Obama's "people" contacted me here just this week - I met them the day before yesterday here - They just flew in from the States. I'm not sure if they are just Obama supporters or actually from Obama's camp themselves but they nonetheless are quite concerned. They seemed to be well versed on what is on my blog and asked why I would dislike Obama so much - The whole thing is really creepy to be honest - I'm supposed to meet with them again this Friday for dinner.

The issue for me is the same as it was for Bill Clinton - I'm not concerned so much with what he did or of the fact that he was a devout Muslim, but by the fact that he wants to hide it. For me that is indicative of a person with a flawed character who simply cannot be trusted.

This is the key. It's Obama's dissimulation that is the problem and ExPat nails it in this statement.

On Friday, make sure you order off the most expensive part of the menu when you meet Obama's people for dinner and make sure they pay the bill.

I hope you document the meeting, its content and those attending in your blog. I wish I were a fly on the wall.

Cheers . . .
