Quoting from your linked source (because I think it's worth emphasizing and thinking about):

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."

The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the Islamic world.

Regardless of Obama's religion, what message is he sending the world's 1.2 billion Muslims
?

(Emphasis added.)

For Obama to recite that particular Moslem prayer to a New York Times reporter in an attributed quote, was a major, major indiscretion if it was inadvertent ..... and something a hell of a lot more serious if it was deliberate.

Your source also notes that the original Nicholas Kristof article has disappeared from the NYT website into Pinchy's "memory hole", but it is fortunately preserved elsewhere.

Yeah, I read that.
Isn’t ‘The Obama File’ great?
The author could have written a book that would have outdone Corsi. LOL
