(AP) -- For Barack Obama, it is an ember that he has doused time and again, only to see it flicker anew: links to Islam fanned by false rumors, innuendo and association.
Obama and his campaign reacted strongly this week when a photo of him in Kenyan tribal garb began spreading on the Internet. And the praise he received Sunday from Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan prompted pointed questions — during Tuesday night's presidential debate and also in a private meeting over the weekend with Jewish leaders in Cleveland.
During the debate, Obama repeated his denunciation of Farrakhan's views, which have included numerous anti-Semitic comments. And, after being pressed, he rejected Farrakhan's support in the presidential race.
The Democratic candidate says repeatedly that he's a Christian who took the oath of office on a family Bible. Yet on the Internet and on talk radio — and in a campaign introduction for John McCain this week — he is often depicted, falsely, as a Muslim with shadowy ties and his middle name, Hussein, is emphasized as a reminder of Iraq's former leader.
"If anyone is still puzzled about the facts, in fact I have never been a Muslim," he told the Jewish leaders in Cleveland, according to a transcript of the private session.
The photo of Obama wearing Kenyan tribal raiments — taken by an Associated Press photographer during his visit in 2006 to the country where his father was born — resurfaced on the Internet amid unsubstantiated claims that it was being circulated by members of Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign. Clinton and her aides said they had nothing to do with it. The Obama campaign accused them of "shameful, offensive fear-mongering."
On Tuesday Republican candidate McCain denounced the introduction he got in Cincinnati that criticized Obama in vivid terms.

Obama is no infidel; he supports Islam is all his political life. The muslims support him strongly.
Barak is hebrew. Sorry for my typo. Obama is NOT Hebrew.
I believe that Obama is east African.
Wanna find out if he is, or he isn't muslim?
Put a plate of bacon in front of him and see what he does.
When he was a kid in school his religion was listed as moslem or islam on the records. Now, why would someone put that on a school document if it weren’t true? His schoolmates have said he was a moslem, as well.
The 12th Imam should worry more about him belonging to a racist church.
See the word "white" below?
The word is substituted here - the real word is "Black" and these points come right from Obama's church.
If these racists rants came from a white Presidential candidate, what do you suppose the reaction would be?

Series?
Man that's cold. That's a hugh step!
That used to be my tagline. I didn’t think I needed it anymore.
Well, GREAT!!! Now McVain is going to have to apologize for YOU using Obama's middle name!!!

I will say this, that the reason I think I'm better as the nominee is that I can bring this country together I think in a unique way, across divisions of race, religion, region.What did he mean? Yes, he's a different race from most of us; and he was speaking in a State not his own. But what will be his "unique way" of bringing the country together across divisions of religion. This struck me as a very odd thing for a Christian to say.

Kenyans speak Arabic?
Please check this link. It will tell you all that you need to know. There is credible info that could lead one to believe that his Indonesian stepfather to him to Mosque with the intent of making him Muslim. His own campaign said in a LA Time article that he was never a REGULARLY practicing Muslim, leading one to infer that he was an IRREGULARLY practicing Muslim. That is enough for the Muzzies to convict him as an apostate or to accept him as one of the faithful deceiving the dhimmis. Check the years 1971-1973 at the link below.

This article has been another, in a long line of, do not believe your own eyes and ears...or a stay stupid People report, since America’s enemies are depending on you, and us in old media to spoof you.
So, how's his Spanish?
Obama calls Jeremiah Wright his "spirirtual mentor."
Jeremiah Wright has a long history of praising and glorifying the racist Farrakhan, as well as Islamic terrorists.
Obviously, when it comes to choosing advisors, Obama is either evil or a moron.
His “Christian” church is just about as troubling as his islamist links.
