When did he say that?

Senator Obama said it to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times; Mr. Kristof reported it on March 6, 2007 in his opinion column at http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=1:

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

Obama is a Muslim. Do you think he would admit it during the election? It would end his chances immediately. He is a Manchurian candidate for the jihadists.

The difference is that I think McCain might actually tell the truth now and then, if it suits his goals and fits his ego. Hillary and Obama avoid the truth as a matter of habit.

Has Obama ever spoke publicly what he thinks about Mohammed? What does he of Mohammed say compared to Jesus Christ?

No, because no one has asked him any of those questions. Nor about his feelings regarding reparations, etc.

The PC MSM doesn’t dare ask him “racist” questions (they’re scared of the lefty kickback). Hannity had a flaccid presentation of black liberation on his show today (note: I didn’t see all of it, so I may be wrong. But all the prelim lead-in stuff was soft, so I’m assuming the tone carried through.)

While I was disappointed, at least Hannity kept BLT on the front burner. This is the Obama-killer, if and when it ever breaks into the clear view of the voters.

If Obama wins the nomination, I hopefully anticipate that some 527(immune to PC denunciations) will lay it all out before the voters. The Magic Negro will melt away just like the Wicked Witch of the North.

Obama’s having been born and raised a Muslim and having left the faith to become a Christian make him neither more nor less qualified to become president of the United States. But if he was born and raised a Muslim and is now hiding that fact, this points to a major deceit, a fundamental misrepresentation about himself that has profound implications about his character and his suitability as president.

b. HUSSEIN could lead the US to its ultimate destruction!!!!

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)...

I havn’t seen anything that indicates he has. I’m also curious about where, when, and by whom he was baptized into Christianity. The orthodox Muslim belief is that Mohammed was the greatest prophet (greater than Jesus) who was the perfect fulfillment and consumation of both Judaism and Christianity. Serious religious scholars have long established that he had no real understanding of either Judaism or Christianity and his little knowledge was just based on hearsay and superstitious bedouin third-hand reports.

Thanks for the reference. If we’ve learned one thing about Obama it’s that he has selective amnesia - not only about his own past but Wright, Ayers, and Rezko.

I agree. But he is a fellow traveler of radical islam, in that they both have the goal of destroying western market economies.
