Good points, but I believe there is some question as to whether Obama’s mother did not herself adopt Islam (or the leftist, american college version of same). I agree that there is a world of difference between Indonesian Islam and that practiced in Kenya (though to be fair, I believe Kenya is a majority-Christian country despite the recent rise of Muslims in power). On the other hand, we have all seen in the news for many years now that Indonesian Muslims are not above taking part in religious warfare.
I think what is particularly significant about this article is that it’s written by Daniel Pipes, who is fairly well known and generally well respected (though subject to some criticism in the academic community). Previously, this sort of thing has been relegated to the fever swamps and places like Free Republic.
This means that the MSM might finally delve into Obama’s background way beyond the Wright affair and into his associations with radicals in Hawaii.
Most importantly, with respect to the muslim question is Obama’s relationship (by blood or friendship) with Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of Kenya. To me, this is the single most incredible aspect of Obama’s background; even more amazing is that it has received no press attention despite Odinga’s unequivocal statements, and the undeniable fact that Obama appeared at rallies for Odinga in 2006.
Then, when you get to the "second cousins" it's a regular zoo.
Sometimes it's wrong to place the blame for their ill-manners on Islam!
I wonder if Sean knows about the cousin?
