The following is an excerpt from their FAQ page:
I would like to clarify that I did indeed place the call to Trinity United Church of Christ....
5. He [Obama] joined a cult church, a non-Christian church.
a) The church teaches separatism (black and white)
b) They teach black theology, not Christ Theology
c) The church honors and respects Islam and Muslims to the point they welcome Muslims to be members of the church and gave Louis Farrakhan an award for being the man who will unite the true Christian to the true Muslim to the true Jew. WHAT A CHRISTIAN CHURCH!
d) Why would Obama leave Islam to join such a church? He joined skillfully to cover-up, knowing that a Muslim in America would have little chance to become a senator or the president.
e) When you believe in Mohammad you deny Christ.
O.K.; everyone who is surprised at this raise your hand.
Osama Obama is not fooling anyone (who does not want to be fooled)....
Wright / Obama ping
He ain’t foolin’ me.
Moslems, members of a christian church say it aint so! Either muslams are members in name only, or this is a christian church in name only! (yes, christian is in lower case until I know more.)
I’m sorry, but I believe you can’t exactly conclude a church member’s religious beliefs from how a church operator handles what amounts to a prank phone call to the church. lol
I agree; I draw no conclusions about Obama's personal beliefs.
I post this (assuming Mr. Dakdok's honesty) as additional information about the high weirdness of Rev's Wright's church.
Well, I would judge them by the website. I’ve been keeping sharp tabs on it for over a year.
Last year it was very black separatist, with lots of marxist dogma.
This year it had a lot of the severe separatist removed, but was still quite extreme.
I checked it today and suddenly it is very Christian, with bible verses all over it. Not what it was a year ago, believe me. Actually, I find it distressing. Did they suddenly become a Christ centered church? Or are they just deciding to pull the wool over our eyes?
Then the missionaries make their biggest statement, What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. This message comes from American missionaries who have been working among Muslim groups for the last twenty years, the last twelve among Obamas tribe (family) in Kenya.Emphasis (in red) added. Can this be dis-proven?
The assertions made by this missionary group are astounding. But the assertions raise questions which are even more astounding.
The letter further states, He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. - By the way, his true full name in Kenya is Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama.

Oh, I totally agree that Obama's church is bad news. Hell, if you replaced the term "black" with the term "white"(with the content of their webpage a year ago), and if Obama were a Republican. He would have been tarred and feathered with the label of "racist who worships in an ideology of white supremacy" by the media and wouldn't have won a single primary. I just thought the whole thing with the prank phone call was a bit of a stretch.
Obama's church to me seems like a racial madrassa(spelling?).
Can one suspect that Trinity United Church of Christ may be a front for the Nation of Islam?
I do.
While there is no doubt in my mind that this "church" is nothing but a front, a fake Christian "church";
I am wondering, what is the United Church of Christ of America inc.'s position on this obvious deviation from the United churches theology?
After all, Christ states, "no one may enter the kingdom of Heaven except through me" is in complete contradiction of Wrights church, where through the teachings of Mohammad is an otional route.
The United Church of Christ acknowledges as its sole Head, Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior. It acknowledges as kindred in Christ all who share in this confession. It looks to the Word of God in the Scriptures, and to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper its creative and redemptive work in the world. It claims as its own the faith of the historic Church expressed in the ancient creeds and reclaimed in the basic insights of the Protestant Reformers. It affirms the responsibility of the Church in each generation to make this faith its own in reality of worship, in honesty of thought and expression, and in purity of heart before God. In accordance with the teaching of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical Christians, it recognizes two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion
Media avoids this question like the plague as well.
I have noticed however, that they have cleaned up the website a lot from the last time I looked when the "church" was first exposed.
Great Post!
There is no correct spelling in Roman characters (our alphabet) for 'madrassa.' It is an Arabic word and any spelling in English is a transliteration of the sounds. Most Arabic sounds do not have exact English aequivalents -many not even close- so any spelling is an approximation of somebody's guess.
