Was he a Muslim who has now converted to Christianity? If so, does that make him an apostate to Islam?

What is the penalty in Islam for apostasy?

What is the penalty in Islam for apostasy?

Death. Any Muslim who converts in a Muslim country is at considerable risk of death. If a Muslim converts in a western country, their friends and family are likely to kill them, but it can be possible to get away with it if other Muslims don't know about it.

But if a prominent Muslim offends in this way, a fatwah will be issued against him, as was done with Salman Rushdie. And who could be more prominent in his supposed "conversion" than Barack Hussein Obama? They can't necessarily kill him, because he's surrounded by Secret Service agents and police, but they would certainly threaten to do so.

So the question arises, why hasn't a fatwah been issued against him? Why aren't his family disowning him? I think the answer is becoming clearer and clearer as the facts emerge.

I think the bottom line to that is do the Radical Muslims our enemies believe that he is an apostate?

If his father was muslim by his own admission the Radical Muslims believe that the fathers son inherits his faith so Obama is a Muslim to them.

If Obama claims he is a Christian then to the Muslims he becomes a Murtadd, Apostate and according to the Quran... Muhammad said “man baddala Dinahu faqtuluhu” (Whosoever changes his religion, Kill him.

Would’nt Obama as CINC mean to the Radical Islamists that their Killing of American soldiers takes on a religious connotation?

Could it be argued then logically that an Obama Presidency would make America less safe?

Wonder where the NY Times is with this story... and no wonder why Obama wants it kept under wraps.
