Well.....

"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."

I guess 9/11 might have something to do with it.

But that's people for you.

It is interesting that there are so many pictures of his black/African/Muslim family and relatives, and so few of his white family that have been published. I have only seen two: one of his mother and one of his grandparents. Maybe others have seen more, but is there one of a family "gathering" like this one?

Obama is also white, he is as much white as he is black. He should have run as the "bi-racial" candidate and not the "black African/American" candidate. But, I guess his white heritage is the part of him he hides and hates, and his spiritual advisor, Wright, has dammed. If he so obviously keeps his "whiteness" in the closet so he can appeal to blacks, it is easy to believe he would work just as hard to hide his true religious roots and beliefs.

Musaitif also owns the butcher shop next door. His employees are all Muslim, and all the meat he serves, including pizzas, burgers and bacon, are halal...

How can they overlook this man's discriminatory hiring policies?

I am a bigot, and proud of it!! I will never vote for a Muslim.

It's funny that the MSM is already pulling out the race/religion card. I can read the headlines already....

At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.

I attended two catholic universities for 6 years, but I am not a catholic.

A devout Christian doesn’t sleep through 20 years of sermons, which he must have done if he never heard the Rev Wright preaching his hatred of white America.

Obama is a Muslim-sympathizer and an anti-Semite.

What I can't figure out is how someone born with the name Barak Hussein Obama is not muslim at birth. He said he studied in a madrassa while at the same time referring to himself as Barry. About the time he decides to enter the political arena he converts to “Christianity” and joins the United Church of Christ headed by none other than the former muslim Rev. Wright. At this point he assumes his given muslim birth name. What's up with that!?

It does seem strange, since his Mother is American, that
he doesn’t have at least one american name.

He’s not an apostate until he says, “I believe: Mohammed was not the messenger of God, and the Qu’ran is not the word of God.” (And I’d prefer it if he’d add, “...and quite frankly I don’t think Allah is God, quite the opposite, if you get my drift. Judge by his works.”)

By the way, most folks fixate on his “Hussein” middle-name, since it’s so familiar as a Muslim name (as are other derivatives of the H-S-N root, such as Hassan).

But what about his first name, Barak? That just happened to be the name of the Prophet’s magical winged horse, with its breasts of a woman and the tail of a peacock, that took Mohammed on his night’s voyage to Jerusalem and Paradise.

To my eye, being named for the one who carried the Prophet forth on his signature journey is much more symbolic than having a commonplace H-S-N appellation.

“Barack Obama is not a Muslim”

Wrong.

“As a child, he learned about Islam and sometimes went to mosque. Nevertheless, he’s a devout Christian.”

Wrong again.

I truly believe that as a child, Mr. Obama WAS a “Muslim”, or was [as a child] being molded into becoming a practicing Muslim. At some point afterwards, he may not have REMAINED Muslim, but he certainly exists today as a Muslim apostate.

Cannot Mr. Obama recite the Muslim call to prayer near-perfectly? Did he not once say that the call to prayer at sunset was one of the most beautiful sounds he had ever heard?

ANYONE who can do and say that IS NOT a “devout” Christian. And I ain’t one myself.

I didn’t bother reading the rest of the article. The author has poisoned his argument in the first two paragraphs.
