Some background on Barack Obama.....

Since his mother was a secular humanist -- and between the lines, sounds like an atheist -- and his stepfather was a Moslem (the late Barack Obama Sr., a Moslem-raised but non-religious Kenyan economist, deserted his family when his son was only two years old), how would that shape the faith of someone who, according to Falsani, “is unapologetic in saying he has a ‘personal relationship with Jesus Christ’”?

Spent time in both Muslim and Catholic schools In Indonesia, I'd spent 2 years at a Muslim school, 2 years at a Catholic school.

In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies.

In the Catholic school, when it came time to pray, I'd pretend to close my eyes, then peek around the room. Nothing happened. No angels descended. Just a parched old nun and 30 brown children, muttering words. Sometimes the nun would catch me, and her stern look would force my lids back shut. But that didn't change how I felt inside.

This is scary more...

“Obama is an extraordinary man,” he said. “His intellect, his charisma.

His mother always said that he got his brains from his father, and he was raised on tales of his father’s brilliance. The great man wrote to them regularly, but, though he travelled around the world on official business for Kenya, he visited only once, when Barack was ten.
to Columbia University, Harvard Law School, and in 1990 he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review

You found out a bit more about Obama than I did. He's kind of a worry; I posted this comment on the thread at this link:

Message from an Arab-American: Joseph Farah skewers Barack Obama for outrageous DNC comment

"I was curious about Obama last week, so looked for some bio on him.

"Wikipedia.com states that Obama had an Indonesian stepfather -- and Obama spent 10 years of his childhood growing up in Indonesia.

"My concern, in fact my fear, is that he has too much sympathy for islam. Considering that Indonesia is about 80 - 85% moslem."
