Not a rumor. Either Obama is either a muslim under taquiya (sp?) or an apostate to the religion in which he was brought up.

It shows Obama is rattled; he cannot stand up to the heat of the election contest. He’s revealing a side of himself that doesn’t reflect very well as to how well he’d hold up under pressure.

and go check out newsmax’s article about Obama’s brother and Obama’s time as a muslim. I grant the fact that he was not an ACTIVE muslim but he did spend time praying and studying it as a youngster. The fact that he and his campaign are trying to sweep this under the rug and deny it just creates the impression that he is trying to hide something. Had he just told the truth and explained the circumstances, it would be a non issue.

Even some Freepers have been trying to hush this. I am not sure why we can't have some fun with this but you watch, there will be some angry posts saying not to mention this.

Smart of the Obama campaign to put out a press release on this to keep it alive.

What fools.

Maybe because they saw the backlash when Sarah was slimed by the Network media.

I believe that Bill Ayers, Resko, and Reverend Wright are the best ways to go against Obama.

This is the United States. We allow people to follow the religion of their choice. As an adult, Barack Obama became a Christian. Despite all the misgivings I have about black liberation theology, it stems from Christanity.

It is true that Barack Obama’s father was a Muslim as was his stepfather. It is logical to assume that Barack watched and perhaps participated in Muslim religious ceremonies as a child in Indonesia. You can even make the case that some societies/countries believe ‘once and Muslim, always a Muslim’. That is NOT, however, what we believe in the United States.

There is no indication in his adult life that Barack has been a practicing Muslim. He made a simple slip of the tongue on the Sunday talk show, and it doesn't help our side to indulge in the kind of cheap shots we denounce when they come from the other side.

We should take the high road on this one.

IMO, this makes our side look like fools without evidence to back up their claims.

And there is enough to bury the guy without bringing this up.....57 states, inflate your tires etc.

Use his own words against him. That is enough.

The coverage is what bothers me, I have never slipped and called myself Jewish. It shows he is hiding something.

I’ve seen the video. Of course Obama didn’t MEAN to say that he was a Muslim. How stupid would that be? But it was pretty certainly a Freudian slip.

Typical left-wing attitude. “You’re NOT ALLOWED to print that news!” Only proper leftist propaganda is allowed. So, stop printing the FACTS.”

[But Obama DID SAY IT.]

lol and incredible - 'not' - of course, save in the 'world of Reason' where hopefully, most live.

Interesting too, but little noted; that the entire Muslim world are under the impression that Obama is Muslim. Of course, by the Faith of his Father; he IS a Muslim. Plain/simple. . .this surely explains his empathy for Nation of Islam; and among others, of course. It might even explain for his expressed 'love' of the Muslim 'call to prayer'. . .

Whatever. . .if you listen to the rants of Black Liberation Theology; it is hard to distinguish the difference from a Nation of Islam rant; and a 'true believer' of Black Liberation Theology. . .or a 'Black Panther' or a radical, Leftist Weatherman; or those rants found at COPUSA*.

Friends, all, of course. . .(Communist Party U.S.A.)

Hee hee! I heard a clip of the interview where he slipped and said "Muslim". Obama stammered and stuttered through the entire clip, not just after he made the boo boo.

Without his teleprompter, Obama can't speak a coherent sentence.

Can't wait until the debates!

It was pretty obvious that he attended a Muslim school while in Indonesia and while not a practicing Muslim he certainly was trained in the Muslim faith.

The MEMRI video of Quadaffy saying Osama is a muslim is a good one also. Don’t forget about the NYT article (scrubbed from the website) by Kristoff in which he quotes Osama saying the muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound on earth.
