I have seen nothing to AFFIRM that Barack Obama is a Christian.
Obama has apparently NOT been Baptized into the Christian religion.
For an excellent and wide-ranging discussion and findings on this very subject see Religion in:
www.theobamafile.com
“...he fully accepts that Obama is a Christian now...”
Talk about a leap of faith!
I fully accept he believes in God. He believes he is God!
You are correct. Georgie Staphlococcolus corrected Osamabama when the ‘anointed one’ accidently told the truth.
The fact that he is able to recite the Muslim call to prayer in near-perfect Arabic, shows that he has definitely prayed as a Muslim or with Muslims.
Most interesting.
*********************
Then why is Obama lying?
Obama's being a Christian now has absolutely nothing to do with his claim that he was never involved with Islam.
The lie is that he claims never to have been exposed to his father's (or his step-father's) Islamic faith. I find that hard to believe on the face of it.
He makes this claim even though he can recite the Islamic call to prayer from memory. (I believe the reporter described it as 'with a flawless Middle Eastern pronunciation'.) In the same interview, he described the Islamic call to prayer as, IIRC, 'the most beautiful sound on earth'.
While there have been several FR threads regarding this interview, I don't recall if I have any of them bookmarked. I'll try to find a link to one of them.
Unless one were raised hearing it (and listening closely to it repeatedly), no English-speaking person would be able to accomplish that feat without spending quite a bit of time on it.
Because of that, my parents are voting for McCain.They were going to sit this one out but not now.I would bet there may be a little bit more of this going on than most people would admit.
Bambis gaffe was with little georgie a few sundays back.Georgie almost bent a rod when bambi said that.
Got it on video or audio?
Very revealing info from this article...
On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset. In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, with a first-class [Arabic] accent. The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslims complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.
An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following: Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the worlds most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace.
Barack Hussein Obamas race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy.
A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obamas religion can be found in the following.
What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word mengaku when refering to Obamas conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word mengaku in Indonesian means claimed and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim.
But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they dont see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam.
Obama wants it both ways, has always wanted it both ways. Black and white, Indonesian and American, Muslim and Christian. He loves playing one off the other, using one to hide the other even as the traces of the truth may be assembled to reveal the whole cloth of deception and self-promotion he has been weaving so skillfully since his childhood. No wonder he is a man of change. He IS a changeling, a veritable chameleon, adapting and amending his life story to fit the circumstances.
The charm may have worked once. It still works on some. It wont work forever in the age of the Internet. The fog of ambiguity and dissimulation is dissipated by the harsh, unforgiving and scrutiny of the blogosphere and its unlimited access to historical facts and time-stamped testimony.
Many have been puzzled why Obama could claim not to be familiar with Wrights rants. It turns out the Trinity Church, like many African-American churches, happily accepts believing Muslims within its congregation. And evidently many Muslims have no problems surrounding themselves with an anti-American, anti-Israel preacher who week in and week out wins the amens of his adoring congregation.
On Feb 15/08, Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obamas Church and reported the following conversation: I then asked the person who answered what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, That sounds easy. One last question please. If I am Muslim and I believe in the Prophet Mohammed, peace be unto him and I also believe in Jesus, peace be unto him, do I have to give up my Islamic faith to be a member in your church? She answered: No, we have many Muslim members in our church.
Indeed.
Its time Americans dig a little deeper into Obamas background.

Trojan Horse
Not that I've any use for McQueeg, mind you, but better a death by prostate cancer than by cyanide poisoning.
Agreed.Sarah is the only reason I am onboard.Grown men should fight better than mcqueeg is doing.
Not that such a sequence is all that great, of course.
Unfair to Gov. Palin, of course, having in such a situation the world thrust onto her shoulders, but such a sequence of events **would** have the advantage, for our Republic, of keeping Osamabama and Hitlery WELL AWAY from the White House.
FReegards! I know, I know. Too cynical by half. Sorry 'bout that.
Typo (grrr! mutter...)
