Let me dispel an Internet rumor. Obama is NOT a Muslim.

Let me dispell the lie: Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet is an APOSTATE Muslim. As such, he will be the first US President with a Fatwah upon his head.

Good Morning Sarge, could I get your view on the following profession of faith from Obama?

"I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly, I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful. I didn't 'fall out in church' as they say, but there was a very strong awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn't want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals."
- Barack Obama, 23 Jan 2008 in Christianity Today

I'm not sure but I think I've been p*ssing people off by citing the above quote, but if Obama has at any time in his past been a follower of Islam be it by choice or by coercion as a child growing up, you are 100 percent correct in pointing out that he is viewed as an apostate and would be subject to execution by said fatwah you've mentioned.

I'm not at all about to vote for Obama, but I am inclined to accept his Christian statement of faith until he is proven to have lied about it, what say you?

Best,

MKJ

PS - Note my tagline, you're bloody famous! LOL

“Let me dispell the lie: Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet is an APOSTATE Muslim. As such, he will be the first US President with a Fatwah upon his head.”

Let us define that further: Barack Obama is an apostate muslim to the extremist fanatical muslims we are in conflict with. In the grand traditions of Judaeo-Christianity, I consider that faith is not hereditary - we all stand before God by ourselves, and our relationship to Him is a matter between the individual and God.

Don’t let the islamists define the issue.
