In a recent analysis, "Was Barack Obama a Muslim?" I surveyed available evidence and found it suggests "Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father." In response, David Brock's organization, Media Matters for America (MMfA), which calls itself a "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media," has criticized one of my sources of information.

This was my comment to you:
Read this summary and see what you think:

And you come back with a diatribe - the last line of which -
“God presumably gave you a brain...you might try using it for something beyond filling the space between your ears.”
- is rude and personally offensive.
And I am not the only one to whom you have shown yourself to be a very rude person. You win no points that way, you only prove that your argument has no substance.

I should have known.
Ron Paul? Are YOU insane? I have been laughing at Ron Paul’s antics since he was an independent wacko, back in 1982. We used to read his daily speeches and make fun of him when I worked in the Senate. So, nice try. I am a Duncan Hunter supporter, and hope that Fred can get the nomination, since Duncan is a long shot. You, on the other hand, are the one that seem to be lost. DU is at a different location. They also want Obama over there, and think that having a Muslim President at this point in history, apostate or actual, is no big deal. In fact, they might think it’s kind of cool. Go check ‘em out, you’ll fit right in.
Nailed it!

Whoops! I missed a year...never mind, how did he/she last that long?
I had already checked the poster, but there really wasn’t anything new in the post. We already knew that Obama is an erstwhile Muslim. The most interesting part of the situation is that many posters on FreeRepublic and in Iowa are more concerned with electing a Mormon than they are an apostate Muslim.

Is Odinga responsible for the actions of his tribal followers?
The recent revelations of Obamas ties to Raila Odinga in Kenya are disconcerting as well, because Odinga is behind the terrible violence in his country. It was he who instigated bloody riots and killing after he lost the election. Obamas bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenyan government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Railas stooge. And while there are few angels in Kenya, Odinga is the source of great unrest and turmoil; and the MOU he signed with the Muslim Council to institute sharia is a foreshadowing of a dark fate for Kenya.

Obama’s Pastor is Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr the author of this anti US poc —

Rev Wright is also a proponent of Black Liberation Theology, a victims separatist black movement.
This is not a plus.

If Obama appears to be a Useful Idiot, then his past Muslimhood will be winked at. Mullahs are more Machiavellian than you’d think.
Have often wondered about this practice of ‘born a . . .’. Some churches, Protestant anyway, set an age of twelve when you are old enough to think to a slight degree and you can choose to be baptized then and then you are in.
Seems to be so. I'm an Australian, doesn't make sense to me. BLOGGER LINK.
(Lots of soul-searching and head-scratching going on!)
The press has painted the current problems as a political struggle with tribal ties between the Lou and Kikuyus tribes.
That explanation worked for me until the violence lead to burning a church with people inside. That act sounded a little too much like something a bunch of jihadi drunken Muslims would do. Therefore, I did a little digging. Obamas friend Raila Odinga, has reportedly promised to implement strict Islamic Sharia law if elected president. This was supposedly to get the Muslim votes. This is troublesome because he is claiming victory and the election was fixed (all the normal whining you would expect from a politician)
Obama denies his Muslim connection at least on the religious side. Having no reason to question his faith or integrity I will point out in most Muslims eyes, once a Muslim always a Muslim. Dad was a Muslim so ergo Obama is considered a Muslim, in denial of his Muslim faith some will brand him an apostate to Islam. This could be a problem if he is elected President of the USA. His effectiveness as a statesman will suffer no matter how this plays out. Sweet talikng Americans will be easy compared to sweet talking Islamists. His connections to Kenya will be of no help.
So far, all that is certain is Kenya is a mess. I am not ready to make the leap that this is a religious battle as opposed to tribal one but the question remains and indications are that Islam has picked the Lou tribe to win...
And what's behind it all? SHARIA LAW.
Sudetenland makes good beer and bad Germans. And now, apparently, rude posters.
If this is true, than Obama could be attacked by Muslims as an infidel, which could put his life in danger.
If this is true, we’re in for serious trouble. My understanding of Islam is that once you’re in the club, there is no departure - and for those who give up Islam, the punishment is death.
I have an awful nightmare of President Obama meeting with someone Islamic - let’s say King Adbullah of Saudi Arabia - and the king taking out a knife during a private meeting and killing Obama for leaving the faith. The king would believe he’ll be rewarded with paradise.
Just a passing thought.
One big bonus will be that the economy will be stimulated before the election by people stocking up on food and ammo for when the riots start after he loses.
