Obama's Grandmother Changes Islam Story
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=29154_Obamas_Grandmother_Changes_Islam_Story&only ^

Posted on 03/15/2008 4:00:54 PM PDT by stickman20089

Yesterday’s edition of USA Today had a story about Barack Obama’s grandmother in Kenya, in which she slams the Clinton campaign for circulating photos of Obama in Muslim garb—and then states that she is a Christian: Obama’s grandma slams ‘untruths’.

Obama’s grandfather had converted to Islam from Roman Catholicism and taken the name Hussein, Sarah Obama said, but his children had inherited only the name, not the religion. Each person should be able to choose how they worshipped, she said.

“In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents,” she said. She, too, is a Christian.

Just one little problem with this statement.

In April of last year, Sarah Hussein Obama told the New York Times she is a devout Muslim.

Sarah Hussein Obama, who is his stepgrandmother but whom Mr. Obama calls his grandmother, still rises at 5 a.m. to pray before tending to her crops and the three orphans she has taken in.

“I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” Ms. Obama, 85, said in a recent interview in Kenya.

Reading this story brings home the notion that my tag-line is accurate.

I beg to differ.

All three of these bastards are dangerous as Hell.

God help this nation if these three pukes are the best we can find to run this country.

Not in the Islamic world. According to Muslim law, Obama is a muslim. Obviously, that does not make him a muslim, but it is worth remembering that to muslims, he is one of their own, and is obligated, under pain of death, to give fealty to Mecca.

I agree. This election campaign has been a complete mocking of the American people.

This isn’t even his damn grandmother. This was the second “wife” of Obama’s bigamist grandpa after he left his first wife.

Obama's Daddy was a Muslim. All his Stepbrothers and Stepsisters are Muslims. But he's a devout Christian.

Okay, that sounds plausible! /sarc

As someone who understand’s Sub-Saharan Africa, I implore all of you to stop this silly talk.

I find it very hard to believe that Catholics and Muslims can live in the same family - and not have someone ending up stoned for the sake of the family "honor".

Very true. But you may need to be careful to whom you speak. Some will change what you say to fit their agenda.

“I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” Ms. Obama, 85, said in a recent interview in Kenya.

Obama is about to say, "if I only heard that when sitting in the pews, but I didn't..."

Obviously the purpose of this story is to fend off any real investigation of the facts about Obama’s family. They are Muslims, and they are Arabs. In earlier generations they were actually Arab slave traders.

Obama himself is only 1/16 black, which means that he is not legally qualified to call himself an African American. He is an Arab American.
