Odinga says Obama is his cousin

BBC ^ | 1/08/08 | Staff

[Kid Shelleen]

Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.

Mr Obama's father - a Kenyan also called Barack - met and married his American mother when they were students at the university of Hawaii.

Mr Obama has previously been identified as a distant cousin of Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Mr Obama's father came from the same Luo community as Mr Odinga.

He said Mr Obama had on Monday taken time out of campaigning for the New Hampshire primary to call him twice, to express his concern, and to say that he would also be calling Mr Kibaki.

He only won a Primary, NOT the Lottery.

geez, relatives come out of the woodwork if they think you’ve got something to give em

Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.

Interesting that Obama should sidle up to the agitator aligned with Islam.

Can anyone tell me:

1. What tribe was Obama’s father from?

2. What was his religion?

Thanks.

It certainly is curious. I’ve been wondering why some stupid Mullah hasn’t put out a fatwah on Obama. It’s now widely known that he is apparently an ex-Muslim, and the standard penalty for that is a death sentence.

I’ve speculated that they haven’t done it because they want him to win. But it needs more than that to explain complete silence like this.

It looks as if the word is out on the Muslim grapevine that maybe he’s still a Muslim after all, and this kind of connection would help explain how the word is getting out.

[Cicero]

Obama’s father was Muslim. His stepfather was Muslim. And he was registered in an Indonesian madrassah as a Muslim.

That makes him a Muslim three times over. And the rule is, once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You aren’t allowed to back out.

Odinga named one of his sons “Fidel Castro”.

[Ditter]

Are Obamas parents still alive and are there any pictures of them?

Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.

And just who is Mr Odinga?

The Spectator has an article, "The Kenyan Jihad" which covers him extensively, has:

Raila Odinga, it said, who was then the current presidential frontrunner, had promised to implement strict Islamic Sharia law if he received the Muslim vote and was elected president. Odinga had signed a secret memorandum of understanding with Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Leaders Forum, in which Odinga had allegedly stated his intention, if elected, to

‘within six months, rewrite the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Sharia as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions’.

Obama’s an opportunist. He’s not a Christian; he’s a member of some flaky black nationalist “church” whose god is Mother Africa.

He may not be specifically a Muslim, but like his cousin, Odinga, he has a background in Islam and no objections to Islam if it would give him power.

Obama’s cousin, Odinga, promised to implement sharia and mandatory madrassa instruction in order to get the Muslim vote (only about 10%, but like the elderly here, they vote). THat’s why the Muslims are lined up behind him, even though he is not an acknowledged Muslim himself.

And that’s why Islam is rooting for Obama, whether or not he is overtly Muslim.

Some folks here were scared of Hillary, but I think Obama is much, much scarier.

I think he's just a HOMIE...........

Will 2008 be the year America returns to tribal rule?

Yes, that's his story. But what is it that is keeping the Muslims off his back? I think he has some sort of back channel communications with them.

Thanks, Cicero. I wanted confirmation that he was definitely a Muslim. Which means he should have a jihadi death sentence on his head for apostasy. (Hmm, maybe the ulema will issue a fatwa. That would be interesting.)

It seems to me almost certain that Obama is a member of the Luo tribe who probably got screwed in the elections and are now slaightering Kikuyus in western Kenya where Obama’s family are from. But I went to confirm this.
