Obama’s grandmother’s name is Sarah, so I doubt she is a muslim.

Even though she's been quoted as saying that she is?

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

Let's see, Sarah, that means "princess" in Hebrew. Betcha' there's an Arabic version, and probably a Persian version, and an English version, and maybe a Sarhilda here and there!

So, yes, Osama's Grandmother could very well be Czech ~ and they have their own version too.

Other popular girls names begin with an "R" as in Rupa and Rema ~ both meaning something like "gold money".

Chinese must have something like this too.

It depends on how the question was intepreted. She could easily have thought she was asked whether her family had members who believed in the Islamic faith. Until we see the transcipt in Luo, and have an unbiased person intepreting it for us, we are merely speculating.

Why don’t we concentrate on Jeremiah Wright?
