Very interesting, and since the AP took the photo, they know it is Obama based upon something.

So, it becomes clear in my mind he at least was under an alias for awhile.

However, the idea this means he was a Muslim is not necessarily the case.....he learned the Koran there, but that does not mean he was raised Muslim by his mother later and he grew up as one. He never really may have been one despite learning about it.

This does raise some question about dual citizenship though....is he still a citizen there?

Still, there must be actual proof Obama means Soetoro, not just a few stories or a paper record of the name Barry Soetoro.

"they know it is Obama based upon something"

Well a pretty big 'something' is that AP says the school provided the document and THEY certainly claim to know which Barry Soetero/Barack Hussein Obambi they had in their school. THere are reunion photos of Barry's classmates getting back together to celebrate his prominence -- a switch could not be pulled off on all of those Indonesian adults who say they went to school with 'our' Obama...... they would know if it was not 'their' Barry Soetero.

You understand that folks with different religious backgrounds WILL have varying views on whether Obama is still a muslim. The strictest muslims will say he is always a muslim, once he has been a muslim. It doesn't matter what Obama says or thinks about it.

Others will say -- well he's not fully committed until he's some age older than he was in the school.

Other folks will say his heart was turned to Jesus.

Still others will say his lips turned but his heart is muslim.

Or his lips turned but his heart is marxist, or black liberation theology-ist.

Whatever. The point is he lied about it. He adamantly denies a fixed point of his own childhood.

That's weird.
