Musaitif also owns the butcher shop next door.

Gee, what a surprise. Perfect career choice for the pre-martyr MooSlime.

> Obama had a Muslim stepfather. As a child, he learned about Islam and sometimes went to mosque. Nevertheless, he’s a devout Christian.

Not if he goes to Rev. Jeremiah’s church he ain’t. No Devout Christian asks God to dam’n America.

> “It upsets me, you know ... that somebody would feel that way about a religion, and it’s a religion of peace,” she says. “But that’s people for you.”

Awwwwwwww. Somebody fetch her the Whaaaaaaaaaambulance! Where was she on 9/11 I wonder? Dancing in the streets with the rest of the Religion of Peace?

“At some point the media will quit taking sides in this thing and maybe start covering Barack Hussein Obama,” Cunningham said.

McCain quickly condemned Cunningham's comments.

Another good reason not to vote for McCain.
Mustn't let the truth get in the way of losing a historic campaign.

They must have changed the meaning of "devout" to read "baby-killing racist."

""Our data shows that only 34 percent of Americans say that they have no prejudice against Muslims.... anti-Muslim sentiment is at an alarmingly high rate right now in America."


Ever wonder why? Or have these imbeciles forgotten so soon?

The creep’s a closet Muslim. If he’d actually renounced Islam and accepted Jesus as his personal savior, he’d be an apostate. As such, he’d be subject to execution or, at the least, complete ostracism by all Muslims. Instead, throughout the world, they support him and want him to become our (their???) next POTUS. That, alone, proves he’s a closet Muslim, an anti-American, and a very dangerous man who shouldn’t even be near the presidency.

...it's about the generalization of one bad apple with the entire group of people — it happens all the time in this country"

One bad apple? No, millions of them.

...it happens all the time in this country"

Gee, I can't imagine why

Obama's Militant Muslim Brother Abongo Is Luo Activist

...

In this Obama Family photo are: (bottom row, from left) half-sister Auma, her mother Kezia Obama, Obama's step-grandmother Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama and unknown; (top row, from left) unknown, Barack Obama, half-brother Abongo (Roy) Obama, and three unknowns. (Sun Times)

Barack Obama stands behind Kezia (stepmother) in a Kenyan family shot. Included in the photo is brother Abongo "Roy" Obama who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."

"Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that so me of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.

Barack Obama's cousin Raila Odinga is accused of ethnic cleansing and is currently battling for power in Kenya.

Barack has stated his support for Luo Opposition Leader in Kenya RaRaila Odinga (who signed a Shariah pact with Muslims and claims to be Obama's cousin) and is married to Ida Odinga. They have four children - two sons and two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is named after Fidel Castro.

Was Obama Ever a Muslim?

“I’ve always been a Christian,” said Obama, focusing on his own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama’s full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.

More: family and friends considered him as a child to be Muslim. In “Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School,” Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24, 2007, that

Obama’s mother, divorced from Obama’s father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather. The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering – Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.

Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that

he wasn’t sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim. “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.”

Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times (available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: “Obama has never been a practicing Muslim.” The Times looked into the matter further and learned more about his Indonesian interlude:

His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama’s grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.

The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. “We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played,” said Zulfin Adi. … Obama’s younger sister, Maya Soetoro, said in a statement released by the campaign that the family attended the mosque only “for big communal events,” not every Friday.

Recalling Obama’s time in Indonesia, the Times account contains quotes that Obama “went to the mosque,” and that he “was Muslim.”

Summarized, available evidence 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. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, “I’ve always been a Christian” and “I’ve never practiced Islam.” The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that “Obama never prayed in a mosque.”-Daniel Pipes

OBAMA WAS BORN MUSLIM AND PRAYED TO MECCA AS A BOY

WARNING: BS meter is PEGGED!

I wanna see Barack HUSSEIN Obama state on national TV "I AM NOT A MUSLIM" while eating a big greasy plate of bacon, with ham on the side.

Even then I won't believe him.

Nevertheless, he's a devout Christian.

Depends on the meaning of "devout". As irreligious as many on the left are, Obama's church attendance, regardless of the content of the church's message, makes him "devout."

No mention of a Muslim father from the Lebanese Muslim writer?

That proves it -- Obama is the result of an immaculate conception and really is "he who we have been waiting for."

There is no record of an Obama baptism anywhere -- although he has referred to "a baptism" -- I think the statement appears on his website somewhere also.

Go to this link and search on "1992" for the details of his "conversion":
