Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | January 7, 2008 | Daniel Pipes

Posted on 01/09/2008 7:56:30 PM PST by fallingwater

In a recent analysis, "Was Barack Obama a Muslim?" I surveyed available evidence and found it suggests "Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father." In response, David Brock's organization, Media Matters for America (MMfA), which calls itself a "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media," has criticized one of my sources of information.

We already heard the madrassa story. But keep any further information under your hats until the general election. Then bring it out.

You’re absolutely right. There’s no way we should consider any aspect of a candidate that we’re presently at war with.

Two money quotes:

All this matters, for if Obama once was a Muslim, he is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the United States, this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.

AND...

In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his step-father in a mosque. This precisely substantiates my statement that he "for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father."

It seems to me that the real issue continues to be missed. I don’t see it as critical that Obama was a muslim and now claims to be a Christian (of some odd sort). What is critical is that in the eyes of 1.4 BILLION muslims, because he was listed as a muslim at some point in his past, he is now an APOSTATE muslim...and they are duty bound to kill him. Now the dems keep going on about the importance of making nice with the world, and yet they want to select an individual who would be viewed as an affront to 1.4 Billion inhabitants of that world. Clearly libs are a sad combination of hypocrites and idiots.

Just in case some folks did not hear this town hall meeting Fred had in SC, it is at the link below. It is in two parts, and a “must hear” question/answer session! Just love the last statement Fred made at the very end! :)

Not to worry. The Clinton Hit Machine will have it out looooong before the general.

The first one is very troubling....esp for Obama.

More than just the Islamic world not respecting Obama...they will issue a fatwa on him.

The biggest danger may not be Obama himself, but, liberals and neocons who keep spouting the falsehood “Islam is a religion of peace”.....their political correctness would be downright dangerous for Obama.

Happy New Years expatguy,
this might be a good time for you to chime in.

Everyone can read expatguy’s blog, http://laotze.blogspot.com/ , where he did excellent footwork regarding Obama’s time in Indonesia.

IIRC, Obama is 46 years old, so he was born in 1961. The years mentioned in the article are 1967-1971. So Obama was 6-10 years old at the time. I don’t know how it worked in your family, but when I was that age, my parents decided where I went to church and where I went to school. Since Obama’s father was Muslim, it seems totally logical that he attended Muslim religious services and Muslim religious training at school. I do not think attacking him because of a decision his parents made is going to be successful.

Sure, Muslim fanatics are going to want to kill him because he is now a practicing Christian. Like they don’t want to kill George Bush?

Sarah Hussein Obama, grandmother of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama sits in front of her home in the village of Nyagoma-Kogelo, western Kenya, Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2008. Barack Obama phoned Kenya's opposition leader as diplomatic attempts to end Kenya's political crisis intensified Tuesday.

Why should they issue a fatwa on their Trojan Horse?
