Barack Obama – Muslim apostate?
The Christian Science Monitor ^ | May 19, 2008 | Shireen K. Burki

Stafford, Va. - Osama bin Laden must be chuckling in his safe house. After all, the 2008 campaign could very well give Al Qaeda the ultimate propaganda tool: President Barack Hussein Obama, Muslim apostate.

The fact that Senator Obama – the son of a Muslim father – insists he was never a Muslim before becoming Christian is irrelevant to bin Laden. In bin Laden's eyes, Obama is a murtad fitri, the worst type of apostate, because he was blessed by Allah to be born into the true faith of Islam.

There are two types of apostates according to sharia (Islamic law) and the Hadith (sayings of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him).

The first type is murtad milli, one who converted to Islam and later renounced the faith. The second, and most egregious, type is murtad fitri. It refers to a person born of a Muslim father who renounces his birthright. Two recent examples of the latter are Magdi Allam (a male Egyptian who converted to Catholicism in Italy) and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Somali-born woman who's now an atheist). Both now face death threats.

According to Islamic jurisprudence, children of a Muslim father – even an apparently nonpracticing one, such as Obama's father, and irrespective of the mother's faith – are automatically Muslims. Most Muslims around the world agree: A child of a Muslim father is a Muslim. Period.

Should Obama become US commander in chief, there is a strong likelihood that Al Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab, will exploit his background to argue that an apostate is leading the global war on terror (read: attacks against fellow Muslims). This perception would be leveraged to galvanize sympathizers into action.

Remember: Al Qaeda's ultimate goal...

Is it possible that he is so stupid (or vainglorious) that he thinks he is immune to such a threat? Or is he a part of some grand plan to be in office just long enough to sell us down the river and then he would “renounce” Christianity and resume his Muslim roots?

Or am I just totally out in left field?

This get more scary with each passing day.

And nobody sees it.

It’s too late. Us anti-Moslems better shut up now because we’re going to be toast when Obomba is elected. When that Koran hits my doorknob I might have a decision to make. :)

Yes, I believe what we are seeing now is a grand conspiracy to put the Government of the United States into the hands of Crypto-Muslim, with the aim of turning America into an Islamic republic.

With the expanded powers a wartime president possesses, Obama will be impossible to stop once he is sworn in. With recent changes in the Posse Comitatus Act, as Commander in Chief, President Obama will be able to use the military inside the US to carry out his plan.

If he is in office for 8 years (and given his powers he will be able to ensure reelection), he will have enough time to put the US under Sharia Law, outlaw Christianity, arrest all Jews, and begin inducting the more attractive women and girls of our society into their Islamic harems.

With America’s great military and economic power, Europe will be Islamicized next. They may be stopped by Russia and China, at least temporarily. But no one knows how this will end. If there is WWIII, it may end up with the survivors forced to accept Islam.

Let's not forget the islamic code. Namely “It's OK to lie, cheat, steal, and be unfaithful if the end is to destroy enemies to “allah”. so, is obama REALLY a Christian? I'm not convinced. but then, maybe I'm not a prophet.

Seems I read that Obambi’s Christian baptismal records are not to be found. That along with a rumour that there are several muslims in his Black Liberation church should be looked into I would think.
