The second student in from the right looks like him, but most likely isn't. This Madrassa is in Pakistan. Obama was educated in Indonesia.

Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?
This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.
An investigation of Mr. Obama by political opponents within the Democratic Party has discovered that Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia. Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia.

I agree, it is highly doubtful. This is Dem attempt to dispel any fears that obama is still faithful to allah. He will now be able to flaunt his "conversion" to Christianity, while demeaning those who might question his muslim upbringing.
profiling?
"I want to make sure I have this straight . . . anyone who attends any madrassa anywhere we assume to be a friend of Bin Laden?"
Maybe not a friend, but at least a silent supporter/sympathizer.
So do I.
Though Mr. Obama may not be an apostate nevertheless his father was a Muslim and Mr. Obama turned his back on Islam. Why haven't the radical Muslim nut cases gone berserk? Why does he get a pass?
When Osama Obama was running for the Senate in Illinois or for the Illinois House, the MSM never told us about his background. The Illinois Republican Party was too busy destroying it's candidate Jack Ryan. that's where all the publicity was focused. Obama waltzed into office on a free ride. I would bet that 90% of people in Illinois or an even higher percent have no knowledge of his Muslim background. The MSM dictates what is known about a candidate. The Illinois press has already declared him President even though they don't want anyone to know anything about the man.
This reminds me of "The Omen" where the anti-Christ eventually becomes President.

Are the american people ready for a president that can't recall how billing records turn up in the presidents private residence or a person so naive about their spouse's infidelity or their lack of military service or their dislike for the military.
Obama was taught by his early life not to trust any faith or religion. He is now a self-professed Christian, but has a worldview that says "it's all good".
He has outright said that we must not allow Christianity or "sectarianism" as he put it, to enter our laws. If an atheist is offended, Obama will honor that. If a Muslim is offended, Obama will honor that. I suspect that if a Christian is offended, Obama will counsel respect for diversity. He has written that Christian preachers wrongly state that "three quarters of the people on earth are headed for damnation"; obviously he believes that Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists are merely alternative paths. And he openly states that atheism, which was his father's ultimate faith, must be treated with the same respect as for God.
Obama will not put a mosque in the White House. Obama will put Festivus in the White House.
FReepers, Americans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Just don't ever, EVER, EVER mention anything about Obama's ears. Everything else is fair game...except for his ears. Obama is as solid as a rock, he can take heat on any issue, but his ears are verboten.
Ms. Rodham, have you heard? Barack is derived from the Italian "baracca", which means "an old run-down shack"; "orecchia" is the word for "ear". The shack has an old tin roof, and Barack has a tin ear.
Obama's favorite childhood film was "Dumbo". Barack's ancestors are from Kenya, and Kenya is home to many elephants. The African Elephant (genus Loxodonta) is distinguished from its Asian counterpart by the huge size of the former's EARS. Obama, can you hear me now??? Hey, where did he go?
Al Gore and Kerry will pitch in eventually, but The Queen will be the one with the major league "goods."
A little pre emptive "racist" "bigoted" "intolerant" "xenophobic" "anti-muslim, anti-Islam" "jingoistic" "despicable" "poorly disguised" "fascistic" slap by another Religious Right Republican.
Oh, it's Hillary, nevermind.
Yep. That Obama did not have a fatwa issued against him in light of this public fact of his conversion may mean (1) his "conversion" is merely a form of taqqiyah (lying) to the kuffar (infidel) voters or (2) the head cheese imams kinda like the idea of their own Manchurian Candidate. It will be interesting in any event to see how this little piece of Obama's 'fascinating personal history' (/presstitute mode) is dealt with by Hillary and her operatives. Think about how her husband the Sink Emperor's assault/rape victims were dealt with...
>>The "Manchurian Candidate"?<<
The "Meccan Candidate".
A born Muslim doesn't support the USA's war in Iraq. Who would have thunk!!
if one issues a fatwa against a US President does the Secret Service get involved?
