Allah is greater than any description I testify that there is no deity except for Allah I testify that Muhammad is a Messenger of Allah Make haste towards the prayer Make haste towards the worship Prayer is better than sleep Allah is the greatest! There is no deity except for Allah
As MestaMachine noted:
From the NYT article (original now scrubbed!):
"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, ... Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” ************************
The first few lines from the "call to prayer" is the shahada. The shahada is not from the koran. It is from the hadiths. Furthermore, it is the SWEARING OF AN OATH to islam. Non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam do so by a public recitation of the creed. It is also an oath EVEN if you are tricked or forced into reciting it and even if you wish to renounce it, you can NOT do so without fear for your life.
It goes like this: "Ash-hadu -an-la-ilaha illal-laha, wa ash-hadu anna Mohammad-an Abdo-hu wa Rasulo-uhu wa ash-hadu anna moulana ali-un –vasi-un wa vazir-ah.” It literally means: "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is Allah's servant and His Messenger, and Ali is his successor ’vasi’ and minister ‘vazir’".
And it ALSO means that obama knew exactly what he was saying, knew exactly what it meant, and had no qualms about calling it the most beautiful sound on earth. As with most things, it was a message to his brethren and a finger in the eye of what obama considers stupid Americans.
If after what you have seen; if after what you now know about obama and his policies, here and elsewhere, and you still question whether obama is a muslim, you are too stupid to live. """""""

I did a Google search on the phrase “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”
First hit is this link (add http in front of it)

And the rest of the quote is there also:
..., Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Other places it is mentioned: (again, add http in front)

Everywhere you look, you are seeing evidence that obama is not JUST an islamic sympathizer, but an actual participant with the leaders of islamic governments to foment war in the Middle East against Israel, an American ally.
I know there are some on this forum that have little to no sympathy for Israel, but consider this, He is ALSO the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the DECLARED ISLAMIC JIHAD AGAINST THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

Just been trying to run down the story of the Egypt foreign minister talking about Obama being "still a muslim". No really big surprise there. Do you know if this thing is anywhere online in form of a clip?
Reply:
There is a youtube video out there but I'm not sure which one.
Sorry,

“The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV."
Scroll down to Page 12
Excerpt:
My wife Rachel, who monitors Arab language broadcasts for Israel Radio, picked up a revealing statementon the “Round Table Show” on Egypt’s Nile TV.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, who told him that he was a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father and stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Muslims, and that he was sympathetic to the Muslim agenda. He asked the Arabs to show patience.
Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American issues (like healthcare reform), he would show the Muslim world how he would deal with Israel.
Pro-Arab, so-called Christian presidents are one thing.But how concerned should we be if the US President is a Muslim who is loyal to the Muslim agenda to isolate and weaken Israel?
When the Palestinians talk about nothing but war with Israel and its annihilation, and the president of what was our strongest ally backs their demands for a state with Jerusalem as its capital, and adheres to the same faith, should we not be warning the American public?
This is Mordecao's Bio. Only posting a couple of snippets:
Dennis Avi Lipkin, alias Victor Mordecai was born in Flushing, New York, grew up in the greater New York City area and moved to Israel at age 19 in August 1968. Avi completed high school in New York and two years of college at New York University, Washington Square majoring in Sovietology and Spanish/Latin American studies at Hebrew University in 1971 (actual graduation in 1973).
During the period 1989-90 Avi worked as senior editor and translator in the News Department of the Government Press Office as part of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir’s Office at Beit Agron.
Avi has written four books: Is Fanatic Islam a Global Threat? Christian Revival for Israel’s Survival, Islamic Threat Updates Almanac #1 and Israel’s Bible Bloc. The first three books were written under the pen name of Victor Mordecai for security reasons, but writes the fourth book under Dennis Avi Lipkin since he is running for the Israeli Knesset elections at the head of a Judeo-Christian Bible Bloc party called “Gush Hatanakhi” in Hebrew.
. Avi is married to Rachel, and Egyptian born Jewess who made Aliyah (immigrated) to Israel in 1969 and has worked for Israel’s Radio service in Arabic for the last 25 years monitoring Arabic language broadcast on radio and TV as well as newspapers.

THIS video is out there. It is confirmed that it exists. Please help me find it!
Hat tip to Bare Naked Islam which published this article on May 5, 2010.
Sounds VERY similar to the format for MORMON 'testimonies':
A testimony is a spiritual witness given by the Holy Ghost. The foundation of a testimony is the knowledge that Heavenly Father lives and loves His children; that Jesus Christ lives, that He is the Son of God, and that He carried out the infinite Atonement; that Joseph Smith is the prophet of God who was called to restore the gospel; that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Savior's true Church on the earth; and that the Church is led by a living prophet today. With this foundation, a testimony grows to include all principles of the gospel.
As StarTraveler said: “he tells Muslims he’s a Muslim. To Christians, he says he’s a Christian. To atheists, he says he doesn’t believe in God. To Buddhists, he probably tells them that he’s into Zen ... :-)
In other words, he’s anything to everyone ... LOL ...”
I suspect that ultimately, Barry’s real Holy Trinity can best be summed up as “Me, Myself and I”. :-)
