Question: Is Obama Sunni or Shiite?

Vanity | Self

[gitmo]

With the raging war between the Sunni and the Shiites in Iraq, and with the presidents apparent animosity toward the Iraqi government it seems important to understand if Obama has ties to the Sunnis or to the Shiites. Does anyone on FR know the answer to this?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Obama’s father was a Kenyan marxist, Soviet-oriented, but apparently he was also involved with the Luo tribe (heavily Moslem, but Odinga Odinga was a Soviet marxist. His son is more Moslem, today).

Obama is the convergence of American marxism and Asian Islam. No wonder he is a sociopath.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He ain’t shiite.

"Question: Is Obama Sunni or Shit??

There, that's better. And I choose the latter term!

[Dick Bachert]

I know, I know. I’ve left myself to get tons of hate mail from decent, self-respecting pieces of excrement deeply offended by this comparison.

Just the price one pays for endeavoring to be honest!

[BarbM]

Don;t the Shiite believe in the 12th Iman? The one to come?

I thought of the 2, the Sunni, like the Saudis were, more sensible.

I guess the suni have gone off the deep end too. If the little p.u.s.s. backs the Syrian Rebels, isn’t he backing isis?

[Dick Bachert]

A little known fact is that Barack Obama is a descendent of Kenyan royalty. In Arabic, his first name means "Destroyer of nations." Obama means "He who will forever rule the underworld -- not just in Chicago, the REAL one down there."

He is seen here in native Kenyan garb in a rare shot recently discovered in a White House burn bag that somehow escaped the newly installed White House diesel powered, water-cooled Acme 3000 Super Shredder. It was sent to us by a former White House shredder tender (who wished to remain anonymous -- and hasn't been heard from for over 2 months!).

And if you are offended by this photo, TOO BAD! Obama is, after all, a disciple of Saul Alinsky who advised his friends in Obama's favorite book, "Rules for Radicals" (subtitled "Dirty Tricks by The Left are Just Good Politics"), that RIDICULE is a potent and effective weapon.

There ya' go!!

Marxist.

[gitmo]

Nope. Just trying to understand some of this guy's motivations. Is he supporting ISIS against Iraq? Why? They're both Mislims.

This might shed light on some of his baffling behavior.

“Obama is Sunni” - perhaps, but consider the possibility Obama is Sufi and seeks the Divine in the Bath House.

In so doing, he follows a long tradition of homo-erotic Muslim perversions.

[GladesGuru]

“Sunni or he’d never have received free tuition from Saudi Arabia.”

If the Saudi will was followed completely, Obama would be Salafi. Arguably contradictory for a person carrying a ‘hanumon’ image on his key chain.

[Rinnwald]

I still want to know if he’s black or white?

there is a third major possibility. wahabi.

[Secret Agent Man]

seriously, he is sunni. that’s who he bowed to. king saud.

[CharleysPride]

Shiite population is pretty concentrated around Iran and Gulf.
Sunnis have a wider spread and more diverse denominations.

Think Catholic/Orthodox vs Protestant.

I read an article recently about Sufis (everybody’s “good Muslim”), and apparently they have suddenly thrown in their lot with the Islamists.

Actually, they always were on that side. The Oxford Muslim converts of decades ago got into Islam through a Sufi-related movement, and it’s still going strong in many places.

Sufism was always the equivalent of a “gateway drug,” but apparently, more and more of them now want to be the drug itself.

[Old Yeller]

Naw, he’s a Christian. He said so, and I have no reason to doubt him.
(Says the typical Republican politician, when asked.)

[livius]

Not the same. It would be comforting if it were, but the analogy doesn’t work.

The problem is that Islam, based on the teachings of the lunatic Mohammed, is the basis for both Sunnis and Shiites (I guess you’ve forgotten how the Shiites tried to kill our troops in Iraq) and also for the Sufis and whatever is the Kurdish form and all of the other forms throughout the world, such as the loonies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Christianity is not a vicious system of domination that wants to be both the civil and the religious law. But that’s exactly what Islam - any form - wants to be.

They may disagree among themselves briefly, but they’re all members of an insane death cult. ISIS is not Sunni - it killed a huge number of Sunnis in its initial incursion. Why? Because they were normal human beings who wanted to have a modern secular civil state.

Thanks for retarding FR. I’m guessing you’re Keith Olbermann ...

This.

Obama isn't a Sunni Muslim. He isn't a Shiite Muslim. He certainly isn't a Christian. He's simply not religious at all.

OMG..and to think this insanity is in control of nukes and is taking over the mideast.
