In the late 50's, I attended a public school in New Jersey which was "predominantly Christian". We opened up every school day with a Psalm from the Bible, and everybody (including the non-Christians) got a chance to read a Psalm. I don't recall any Muslims; there were a few Jews.
So did I attend a "Christian school"?
Hell, no. I attended a public school. The "Christian school" was (for example) the Catholic school down the road a piece.
So what's the big deal if Obama attended a "predominantly Muslim" school? Who cares?
What matters is that the man is a socialist running for President, with a decent chance of being elected. His childhood school orientation is a big yawn! Why in heaven's name do we have such a hard time staying on topic?? It's his politics that should have all our attention.
Sometimes I really wonder...
However, it can't be hi-lighted enough that Obama himself talks about studying the Koran, refuses to give any details about his 1981 Pakistan trip, the influence his Indonesian Muslim Step-Father had in his life, and why he knew the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslim’s in 1981.
It's like the Lewinsky scandal: It's not so much about the action, it's about the lies.
well, easy for you to say you obviously don’t have much notice on the political side of him all you see is what the media sends you... but, do you really want a president who sends the image of “ i understand what you poor people with nuclear weapons are going through, in fact lets sit down and have a tea party and talk it over,” listen the guy is a whack job, yea lets go sit down and talk to a guy that i assure you wouldn’t take two seconds to send a nuclear weapon in our direction!
Yes you are. Obama made two references to this school in his books, in one he called it "predominantly Muslim", but in the other he called it "a Muslim school" So it seems you're missing approximatly fifty percent...more or less.
I think the point in all of this is contained in your profile, so, I copied it and pasted it here - because you asked; “who cares?”
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” — John F. Kennedy
That statement is so true.
There are those of us that simply cannot imagine the day when “traditional American values are replaced.”
Therefore, we care — we care, those of us that have worn the uniform to preserve our American way of life.
We care about a man with no experience, with no real clear history, but willing to flip flop on any issue for political expediency (that makes me skeptical) - so, in some instances, we have take what he says at his word, in other instances we have draw are own conclusion, because at the end of the day, when we step in the both and pull the curtain that is the most important decision that will affect this nation for the next four years — its important that we get that absolutely right — “the future of our Nation depends upon us caring and getting it absolutely right.”
Because he is allowing the media and the sympathetic to deny what he himself has written as true. The fact is this would not be any issue for Obama to admit if he had actually been "saved" at an actual loving, Christian church. Instead he chose an American-hating, black liberation church with many marxist roots. Such a church has many strong roots growing from the Farrakan wing of the American Muslim world and thus Obama's claim to love Jesus and all he stands for has no value.
The import of the piece is ot whether he, in fact, attended a madrassa, it is that he, himself, said “Muslim school” in his books and now the left is gasping in horror when people say he went to a “Muslim school.” It is regarded as impermissible to take O’Bama’s words as being true.
