Obama's grandmother to perform Muslim Hajj

JERUSALEM – President Barack Obama's paternal grandmother, Sarah Obama, will reportedly perform the Muslim Hajj pilgrimage this year along with her son Syeed Obama.

A private Kenyan television channel, quoted extensively by the Kenyan and Pakistani media, reported Sarah Obama and her son will also visit Dubai before going to Saudi Arabia for performing Hajj. The pair lives in Kenya.

The News, a newspaper in Dubai, confirmed the report. It quoted United Arab Emirates' property tycoon Sulaiman Al Fahim as stating he will personally sponsor Sarah Obama's trip after meeting the elderly Obama in Kenya last week and learning she had always wanted to perform the Hajj.

"I found out that she had not been to the Hajj and that she very much wants to go. As my own mother is no longer with us, our family has a spare place. So I invited her and she has accepted," The News quoted Fahim as saying.

The Hajj is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world. The fifth pillar of Islam requires every able-bodied Muslim to travel to Mecca at least once in their life in a demonstration of solidarity with fellow Muslims and in an act of individual submission to Allah.

Obama's grandmother, a Muslim known locally as "Mama Sarah," lives in Kogelo, a tiny village near the Ugandan border. She was in Washington, D.C., in January for Obama's swearing-in ceremony.

Hopefully her involvement in that ridiculous so-called religious event will elicit absurd commentary from That One along the way, too.

"Sarah Obama is also the woman who affirmed her elected grandson was born in Kenya, prompting doubts that Barack Obama is eligible to serve as president of the United States.

"Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States...Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama never changed her reply that she was indeed present when Senator Barack Obama was born in Kenya."

She waited a long time to do this...I guess she figures the Obama name will protect her from being treated like normal women in Saudi Arabia. Not like a dog.

The congenitally deranged liberal American press will celebrate this. It will be touted as some sort of Obamamaniacal messianic fulfilment.

Is this something I should care about that it’s making the news?

“..was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya..”

And yet, there is not one democritter challenging that statement—neither is there one repubcritter following up on this story, not even “conservative” talk-show hosts.

Obama is a Muslim, but he is the worst kind of Muslim. He is an opportunistic apostate, living with swine and Infidels, who is destine for the fires of Hell at the hands of the truly righteous and by the holy word of god’s only prophet Muhammed (Piss’e be upon Him).

The old joke goes...
Three Jews are talking.

One says, I converted to Christianity because it would help my business.

Two says, I converted to Christianity to join the club and get promoted.

Three says, I converted to Christianity to be washed in the blood and have my sins forgiven by the Son of God.

One and Two are laughing uncontrollably until One says “what do you think we are? A couple of Goyim?”

Think about it...

“Goyim” means gentile in a derogatory way...

That is common thought, however goyim is a Biblical word. It simply means nations.

Goy = nation, Goyim = nations

There are dozens of references in the Torah that refer to the Jews not being the same as the [other] nations (Goyim).

So, Jews call non-Jews “nations” or goyim.

I can think of nothing derogatory about it unless there is a non-Jew who does not want to be referred to as being not Jewish.

It is clear you missed the point of what I was saying.

And the most common translation of “Goyim” is still to “Gentiles”. Probably from the use of the term “nations” to refer to the “other nations”... but just a guess.
