Two years ago I assembled all the evidence and posted Obama’s Muslim connection
and
Obama, the man behind the facade.
By Ted Belman
By posting this picture, I didn’t mean to suggest that there is no distinction between Osama and Obama, or that they are nearly the same. I posted it to suggest that his smiling face is a facade. We must look beneath it.
In Obama’s, A More Perfect Union speech, he said of Pastor Wright,
“The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith‘. [..]“He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding and baptized my children.”
Now it is common knowledge that his father and step father were Muslim. That being the case, Islam considers Obama a Muslim. If you convert, you are an apostate and this, Islam punishes by death.
I put it to you that Obama never converted to Christianity. Such conversion would have been marked by baptism. Had he been baptized, he would have made mention of it when referring to the baptism of his children. If Obama was really baptized, let him produce his Certificate of Baptism.
So Obama is a Muslim who is simply a fellow traveller with Christianity? Perhaps.
Is Obama a Muslim or an Apostate?
Translating Jihad Blog
Certainly a valid question, if you understand Islamic law at all. The author makes a couple of good points: first, according to Islamic doctrine, all children are naturally born Muslim; second, Muslims are not held culpable for straying from Islam until they reach puberty.Since Obama was born Muslim, as apparently all of us are, he then only has three options: stay Muslim, apostatize before puberty (not a capital crime) or after puberty (capital crime). The author seems to believe that Obama was a Muslim too long to have the third option (the article points that he went to Jakarta when he was at least 11, and then studied in an Islamic madrasa for two more years after that), leaving him only the first two options, i.e. he is either a Muslim or an apostate. Makes sense to me. To be honest, I would respect the President a lot more if he were a committed apostate, who could stand up and tell us proudly that he did leave Islam and explain to us why he chose Christianity over Islam. But unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to be much of a Christian either.
- Is President Obama a Muslim or an Apostate?
by Mu’ammar Ahmad ‘Abd-al-Latif Rajeh, for the Watan Voice
30 January 2010
* * *
… [Obama] was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a white American mother from the state of Kansas. His parents separated when he was in his twelfth year, when his father left his mother and returned to Kenya, thus leaving his mother responsible for raising him. Young Obama went to Jakarta after his mother married an Indonesian student, from which his mother bore Obama’s half-sister Maya. The author Scott Toro, one of Obama’s friends at the time, remembers that Obama was enrolled in an Islamic madrasa for two years, then later joined a Catholic school.
Obama converted to Christianity in the United Christian Church. … Within this introduction, certain aspects of President Obama’s introduction to his autobiography beg the following question: What is the position of Islamic law concerning this biography?
Islamic law stipulates that if a child is born with either one or both of his parents being Muslim, then the child’s religion will also be Muslim. This applies if the father is Muslim and the mother is non-Muslim, such as in President Obama’s case. Al-Hassan, Shurayh, Ibrahim, and Qatada said: “If one of (the parents) has submitted (to Islam), then the child is with the Muslim,” for Islam dominates, but is not (itself) dominated (comment: This is a famous phrase from either the Qur’an or the hadith, but I’m not sure exactly how it’s worded in English; it basically means Islam is superior to everything, and submits to nothing). And also according to the word of the prophet of God (PBUH): “No child is born except on nature (i.e. Islam), and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian, or Magian (Zoroastrian), as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?” (Sahih al-Bukhari, V 2, Bk 23, No 441). Although Islamic law does not oblige those who have not reached puberty to practice Islam, the father of such a child is required to pay zakat and pray the funeral prayer if the child dies before reaching puberty. This shows that the child is Muslim from birth. Through these Islamic judgments, in comparison with the autobiography of President Barack Hussein Obama, we find that this president is either a Muslim or an apostate from Islam according to the strongest viewpoints of Islamic jurisprudence.

Now you may also want to read Obama’s Jewish Connection . This will surprise you, it was written by Ron Kampeas of the JTA in Jan ‘08.
- What you might not hear is that the Illinois senator, who made history Thursday by winning the Democratic caucus in Iowa, has made Jewish leaders an early stop at every stage in his political career.

Beware of Obama
Throughout his career, Obama has reached for Jewish support
By Ron Kampeas, JTA
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Ask about Barack Obama’s natural constituencies, and you might hear that he’s the first black with a viable shot at the White House; or about his Kenyan father and his childhood in Indonesia; or the youthfulness of his followers; or the millions of Oprah junkies swooning over his candidacy.
Obama’s Racist and Anti-Semitic Connections
Obama Wants a Dialogue with the Butchers of Iran
Obama refuses pin now pledge
PROOF THAT OBAMA IS PRO-ISLAMIC AGENT“As a fledgling Christian, Obama didn’t join just any church. He joined the United Church of Christ.The United Church of Christ is very anti-Israel and supports divestment. It also sponsors speeches at its many functions by the Arab “Christian” pro-terror religious organization,
Sabeel. Sabeel holds some of its biggest meetings inChicago., (www.scoop.,co, nz/stories/ HL0510/500139. htm) ”
What you might not hear is that the Illinois senator, who made history Thursday by winning the Democratic caucus in Iowa, has made Jewish leaders an early stop at every stage in his political career.
In his first run for the Illinois Senate in 1996, he sought the backing of Alan Solow, a top Chicago lawyer. Eight years later, running for the U.S. Senate — long before he became the shoo-in, when he was running in a Democratic field packed with a dozen candidates, including some Jews — one of his first meetings was with Robert Schrayer, a top Jewish philanthropist in Chicago.
When he launched his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in late 2006, he named as his fund-raising chief Alan Solomont, the Boston Jewish philanthropist who helped shepherd Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) to the Democratic candidacy in 2004.
And he chose a gathering of the pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, last March to deliver his presidential candidacy’s first foreign policy speech.
“Some of my earliest and most ardent supporters came from the Jewish community in Chicago,” Obama told JTA in 2004, after his keynote speech galvanized the Democratic convention in Boston.
Three years later, addressing the National Jewish Democratic Council’s candidate’s forum, he made the same point when he was asked about his ties with Arab Americans and Muslim Americans in Chicago.
“My support within in the Jewish community has been much more significant than my support within the Muslim community,” Obama said at the April forum, adding: “I welcome and seek the support of the Muslim and Arab communities.”
His Jewish followers are fervent, distributing “Obama ‘08″ yarmulkes early in his campaign.
His rock-star status as well as the relationships Obama has built in the community have helped avoided murmurings about his otherwise notable divergences from pro-Israel orthodoxies.
In his AIPAC speech, for example, Obama favored diplomacy as a means of confronting Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program. “While we should take no option, including military action, off the table, sustained and aggressive diplomacy combined with tough sanctions should be our primary means to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons,” he said.
AIPAC does not oppose diplomacy in engaging Iran, but dislikes it as an emphasis, believing that talks could buy the Iranian regime bomb-making time. But his words did not stop the Chicago hotel ballroom packed with 800 AIPAC members from cheering Obama on.
A few weeks later, Obama drew more rubberneckers than any other candidate attending AIPAC’s policy forum in Washington — drawing away onlookers from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) although she outpolls Obama among Jewish voters. No one winced when he said that Palestinian needs must be considered in working out a peace deal, although that’s hardly standard AIPAC pep talk.
He made the same point at the NJDC event.
“It is in the interests of Israel to establish peace in the Middle East,” he said. “It cannot be done at the price of compromising Israel’s security, and the United States government and an Obama presidency cannot ask Israel to take risks with respect to its security. But it can ask Israel to say that it is still possible for us to allow more than just this status quo of fear, terror, division. That can’t be our long-term aspiration.”
Early in his campaign, he handily killed an Israel-related controversy in its early stages. At a chat he had said that “no one has suffered more than the Palestinians.”
Blame the leadership was what he meant, he later explained: “What I said was, nobody has suffered more than the Palestinian people from the failure of the Palestinian leadership to recognize Israel, to renounce violence and to get serious about negotiating peace and security for the region,” Obama said during an MSNBC debate.
Obama tempers his deviations from pro-Israel orthodoxy by going an extra mile in areas where he agrees with groups such as AIPAC.
He has led the effort in the Senate to pass legislation that would assist U.S. states that choose to divest from Iran. His top Middle East adviser is Dennis Ross, who had the job during the Clinton administration and who has since principally blamed the Palestinian leadership for the failure of the Oslo peace process.
And in recent speeches, Obama tweaked his pro-Israel rhetoric to echo the recent drive by the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups to insist on recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
“I think everyone knows what the basic outlines of an agreement would look like,” he said in a speech redistributed by his campaign. “It would mean that the Palestinians would have to reinterpret the notion of right of return in a way that would preserve Israel as a Jewish state. It might involve compensation and other concessions from the Israelis, but ultimately Israel is not going to give up its state.”
On domestic issues, Obama is savvy about Jewish social justice commitments, and is on a first name basis with two of the top Jewish religious lobbyists in Washington — Rabbi David Saperstein of the Reform movement and Nathan Diament, who represents the Orthodox Union.
But that connection is not enough to supplant Clinton among Jewish voters. In a recent American Jewish Committee poll, his favorable rating was 38 percent, while hers was 53 percent.
Clinton also has most of the Jewish congressional delegation backing her. Her years as first lady and as senator have made her a more familiar presence among Jews. Public policy groups are likelier to favor her uncompromising approach to pushing universal health care, as opposed to Obama’s appeal to build consensus on the issue.
Obama’s appeal is in his broader vision, according to Solomont.
“This election will be about change: a change in government and the way politics is conducted,” he told JTA last May. “There is a connection between gridlock and the smallness of our politics.”

Outrage! Steve Coughlin DoD Islam Law expert fired
by Jerry Gordon, American Congress for truth blog
Bill Gertz in his “Inside the Ring” column in today’s Washington Times revealed that Pentagon Islam Law expert, Stephen Coughlin was ’sacked’. After Gertz’s column late last month, that we highlighted in an ACT blog there was speculation about the reception that Coughlin would get upon his return from the long Christmas New Years break. Now we know-read the full Gertz story below.
This is outrageous! Coughlin’s premier work on Islamic Law had been cleared and approved for publication by the DIA. Or will it be? Perhaps those nervous Pentagon superiors will, in the wake of his departure, nix it under pressure from Islamists inside and outside the Pentagon. Coughlin, had lots of supporters for his valued work inside the Pentagon, but apparently the public disclosure of the animus of Hasham Islam Muslim outreach officer on Deputy Secretary England staff against him must have convinced some Pentagon officials to force Coughlin’s ouster.
This amounts to shooting the messenger who had crafted a telling message about the threat of Political Islam. It looks to many of us who know of Coughlin’s important work and have written about it that something nefarious is going on across the Potomac inside the E-ring in the ‘five sided squirrel cage’ that I knew as a former Army Intelligence officer.
Time to get the goods on who and why Coughlin was fired, as well as who and why Hasham Islam was hired.
This story is the moral equivalent of the Dreyfus affair in the 21st Century. Call it: l’affaire Coughlin.

Obama’s Muslim connection
By Ted Belman
1. Obama’s father was a Muslim polygamist.
2. Obama’s step-father was a Muslim.
3. In Indonesia he was registered in school as a Muslim.
4. Occasionally he went to the Mosque for prayers
5. He took religious classes and studied the Koran in Arabic.
According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama’s teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.
“I remembered that he had studied “mengaji” (recitation of the Quran)” Tine said.Our guy in Jakarta writes: “The actual usage of the word ‘mengaji’ in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. “Mengagi” is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, ‘mengaji classes’ are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to.
The Obama Campaign told the LA Times he wasn’t a “practicing Muslim.”
(3/14/2007)But his official website says: “Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian” (11/12/2007)
In 2007, classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam.
“We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny,” said Rony.
Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry’s father were very devout Muslims”
Rony extrapolates further, that Obama at one point had to change his religion if he ever intended later to run for the office of President of the United States because America would never elect a Muslim to the be President of the United States.
Also in 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, “He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a ’sarong’, at that time.”
“He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion.”
6. His grandfather, after whom he was named Hussein, was one of the first Muslim converts in his village.
He “fiercely devoted to Islam.” He had at least 3 wives: Helima, who had no children, Akuma who gave birth to Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.
“What your grandfather respected was strength — discipline.” Obama quoted his grandmother, Sarah, as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion.
“For a brief time, he converted, and even changed his name to Johnson. But he could not understand such ideas as mercy towards your enemies, or that this man Jesus could wash away a man’s sins.”
“To your grandfather, this was foolish sentiment, something to comfort women,” she added. “And so he converted to Islam — he thought its practices conformed more closely to his beliefs.”
Grandfather’s third wife was Sarah, the one often referred to by Obama as his “grandmother.” She is not a blood relative and describes herself as a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she says.
In “Dreams,” he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently goes native.
His grandmother raised him in Honolulu. He recently described her as a “typical white person” who fears blacks. Now, the Chicago Tribune reports “the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available.”
All because she is white and Barry Obama is a “black” candidate for president.
Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist, Senior was buried as a Muslim.
Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are all Muslim.
Obama’s family connections to Islam would endure, however. For example, his brother Roy opted for Islam over Christianity, as Obama recounted when describing his 1992 wedding.
“The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”
Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
In Kenya while he was a Senator, Obama stumped for his cousin, opposition leader Raila Odinga. Odinga is the son of Senior’s sister, a direct first cousin and nephew of Obama’s father.
August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya signed a MoU
Here is a summary on the agreement which was signed:
* It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.
* Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.
* Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]
* Popularize Islam, the only true religion… by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes.
In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”
Obama describes describes his new found “Christian” faith as: (1) Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth (3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible with all other religions.
Muslims view Obama as first a Muslim and then as an apostate Muslim. He faces the death penalty in nearly the entire Islamic world.
On February 27th, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
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.
An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following:
“Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the world’s most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace.”
“Barack Hussein Obama’s race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy.”
“A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obama’s religion can be found in the following.”
“What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word ‘mengaku’ when refering to Obama’s conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word ‘mengaku’ in Indonesian means “claimed” and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim.
But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don’t see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam.”
On Feb 15/08 Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obama’s Church I then asked her what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, “That sounds easy. One last question please. IF I AM MUSLIM AND I BELIEVE IN PROPHET MOHAMMED, PEACE BE UPON HIM AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN JESUS, PEACE BE UPON HIM, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY ISLAMIC FAITH TO BE A MEMBER IN YOUR CHURCH?”
SHE ANSWERED, “NO. WE HAVE MANY MUSLIM MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” It is important to note that Muslims would not attend church.
“YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE GREAT HARM TO THIS COUNTRY BY COVERING A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING AND THAT WOLF IS SENATOR BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA.”
Pastor Wright is an Islamophile and visited Khaddafi with Farrakhan.

Obama, the man behind the facade.
By Ted Belman
By posting this picture, I didn’t mean to suggest that there is no distinction between Osama and Obama, or that they are nearly the same. I posted it to suggest that his smiling face is a facade. We must look beneath it.
In Obama’s, A More Perfect Union speech, he said of Pastor Wright,
- “The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith‘. [..]
“He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding and baptized my children.”
Now it is common knowledge that his father and step father were Muslim. That being the case, Islam considers Obama a Muslim. If you convert, you are an apostate and this, Islam punishes by death.
I put it to you that Obama never converted to Christianity. Such conversion would have been marked by baptism. Had he been baptized, he would have made mention of it when referring to the baptism of his children. If Obama was really baptized, let him produce his Certificate of Baptism.
So Obama is a Muslim who is simply a fellow traveller with Christianity? Perhaps.
Now here’s an interesting thought, does that not make his daughters, Muslims too.
Indymedia asks the question Is Barack Obama Muslim?
- It is further understood by Islamic laws that the children born of a Muslim man must be raised as Muslims, which means that the religion of the children born of a Muslim man must be Islam. Therefore, it is obvious that Barack Obama is considered, according to Islamic Shari’a, a Muslim regardless of whether he practiced the religion of Islam in dedication to the prayers, paying the ‘zakat’ (alms giving), or going to Mecca for pilgrimage, or any of the other conditions prescribed by the Quran for Muslims to follow. Those conditions are important for any Muslim to be in good standing within his religion, but they do not cause a Muslim to be considered an apostate if he decides not to follow these conditions. Under these circumstances, Barack Hussein Obama is, without any doubt, a Muslim because he was born of a Muslim father. Obama claims that his father became atheist later in life; that creates more problems to the father, because the Islamic Shari’a considers a Muslim who becomes atheist (Arabic, zindeeq) as bad as is the apostate, and subject to the death penalty.
Apostasy in Islam (Al Radda)
All Muslim theologians agree that a Muslim who converts to any other religion (Arabic, murtadd), is subject to the death penalty. This is based on what the prophet of Islam said: “Kill he who changes his religion.” The death penalty for apostasy in Islam is supported by all four schools of thought in the Sunni traditions: Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanafi, and Hanbali, (see Kitab al Fiqh according to the four traditions by Abdul Rahman Al Jaziri, Dar Al Irshad, Egypt, vol.5, pp. 333-342).
The author of this opinion piece is Gabriel Sawma who is considered an authority on Islamic Shari’a; a lawyer dealing with international law; professor of Comparative Studies of Middle East Constitutions, and author of “The Qur’an: Misinterpreted, Mistranslated, and Misread; The Aramaic Language of the Qur’an”.
Unfortunately it is more complicated than that and impossible to put it into few words. Essentially so long as a Muslim says/believes “There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is his messenger.”, he is not an apostate. It is conceivable that Obama joined the church and remained a Muslim. He must not reject Mohammad publicly. It would be interesting to hear what he would say about that if asked. My guess is that he would say that is a private matter rather than to deny Mohammad publicly.
Two months ago Jon Christian Ryter wrote OBAMA’S MUSLIM CONNECTION. It is a very important article but is factually incorrect in describing his father and step -father as Muslim extremists.
- [..] When Obama broke onto the national political scene in 2004, not only did he attempt to erase all traces his Islamic childhood, but he also tried to erase the nature of his relationship with Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr, the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ. (When your country is at war with Islamic extremists being a Muslim is not the shortest route to the White House.) Obama has told the media his reason for shielding his pastor was because “…he respected Mr. Wright’s work for the poor and his fight against injustice.” In reality Dr. Wright’s work was to denounce the United States as a white racist nation.
It was obvious to the media—in particular the New York Times which noted in an April 20, 2007 article that Obama was very deliberately distancing himself from Jeremiah Wright. Instead, Obama announced his candidacy on the steps of the old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois—where Abraham Lincoln announced his candidacy—on Feb. 10, 2007. Obama sees himself as an archtype of Lincoln who will “free his people from the tyranny of the oppressor.” What people are those? The inner city people of color whom Dr. Wright believes are part of the Black Value System? Or does he see himself as the man who will free the Muslim world from the Great Satan since his first action, he says, as President of the United States will be to pull all Americans troops out of the Middle East? [..]
Lies, lies and more lies
- When Obama’s early history and his Islamic upbringing was first reported, Obama’s website posted a statement dated Nov. 12, 2007 with the headline: “Barack Obama is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim.” The statement reiterated that Obama was not a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.
On Dec. 22 at the Smoky Row Coffee Shop in Oskaloosa, Iowa, the locals asked Obama about his Muslim roots. He said: “My father was from Kenya. A lot of people in his village were Muslim. He didn’t practice Islam. Truth is, he wasn’t very religious.” That was a lie. Obama’s father and stepfather were devout Islamics. Both faithfully practiced their religion. His stepfather, who had a much greater impact on Obama’s upbringing, was a radical Wahabbi Muslim. “My mother was a Christian from Kansas.” That was also a lie. Obama’s mother, his material grandmother and grandfather were all atheists. “They married and then divorced. I was raised by my mother. So, I’ve always been a Christian. The only connection I’ve had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from that country. But I’ve never practiced Islam…For a while I lived in Indonesia because my mother was teaching there. And that’s a Muslim country. And I went to school—but I didn’t practice Islam.” Another lie. Obama’s mother married Lolo Soetoro, a Wahabbi extremist who lived in Indonesia. When Obama’s mother moved to Indonesia—before she married her second Muslim husband—she enrolled her son in Francis Assisis Catholic School. He was enrolled as a Muslim because he was a Muslim. The enrollment form required each student to choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when enrolling: Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, or Protestant. Had he been a lifelong Christian, or even a recent convert, he—or his mother—would have circled Protestant.
[It is likely that neither his father or step-father were "radical Wahabbist Muslims or extremists". After being challenged on certain facts Daniel Pipes wrote Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam and concluded "In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his step-father in a mosque. This precisely substantiates my statement that he “for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father." It is of no consequuence for the thrust of my contention whether his fathers were radicals or not.]
When confronted with this information, Obama said he couldn’t understand how such an error could have happened. Los Angeles Times reporter Paul Watson, who dug into Obama’s allegation of error, said “…his former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama’s grade school teacher as childhood friends, says Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. The registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion classes. The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque.” (Something else Obama claims he never did.) “…Obama’s younger sister, Maya Soetoro, said in a statement released by the campaign that the family attended the mosque only ‘for big communal events’ not every Friday.” Obama, who belongs to a church that teaches that the Muslims of the world were wronged by both Israel and the United States, cannot afford to be labeled as a “Muslim” by voters who expect the United States to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan where their sons and daughters are being killed by Muslims.
Read carefully, “I was raised by my mother. So, I’ve always been a Christian. “ Now Obama is a Harvard lawyer. As a lawyer he knows that since he was born of a Muslim father, the fact that his mother raised him is totally irrelevant to his classification according to Shariah. Furthermore his mother wasn’t a Christian. He also knows, his statement “I didn’t practice Islam.” is also irrelevant to his classification. Furthermore, how can he claim his registration was an “error” when as a result he was taught two hours a week of Islam. Surely he understood it was because of his registration.
Odinga, the communist Muslim revolutionary in Kenya
- In August, 2006 US Senator Barack Obama [D-IL] made a special trip to visit a special man in Kenya. The man’s name was Raila Amolo Odinga. [(who signed a Shariah pact with Muslims and claims to be Obama's cousin)] He is the head of the National Muslim Leaders Forum [NAMLEF] in Kenya. The political party he heads is called the Orange Democratic Movement [ODM]—although there is definitely nothing democratic about his political party of NAMLEF. The ODM is dedicated to overthrowing the legitimate democratic government of Kenya. Odinga is not really concerned how he achieves his objective.
It matters little to him if he assumes power through a free election—or by revolution. But, by hook or crook, he is determined to become the president of Kenya. If he succeeds, he will be president for life and Kenya will become another Afghanistan.
[Obama's brother Abongo 'Roy' Obama who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim [fighting with Odinqa] argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.’ Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father, ‘Abongo’s new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that so me of our guests mistook him for my father,’ ]
When the US Senator visited Kenya to meet with Odinga in Nairobi, the Kenyan government officially denounced the visit. And, most specifically, they denounced Obama. According to a Kenyan government spokesman, Obama’s bias for his friend was so blatant that the government found it necessary to complain that Obama appeared to be Odinga’s stooge. Not only did Obama campaign for his Islamic friend, he convinced former Clinton adviser Dick Morris to become Odinga’s campaign adviser. [..]
Odinga bothers the US State Department for a couple of reasons. First, after losing the democratic election on December 27, Raila Odinga cut a deal for support from Vladimir Putin and the former Soviet Union. Odinga knows he has to overthrow the government to gain power. When he lost the election, he protested that the vote was rigged to keep him from claiming an election he won. He incited his tribal followers to go on a murderous rampage in towns that were primarily Christian. Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people were murdered. What shocked the west is that the Kenyan media—and the political power brokers within the country—out of fear of Odinga, appear to be suggesting that perhaps the election should be held over to stop the violence and the potential for long term Muslim terrorism.
In a wave of violence aimed at protesting what they call the illegal election of newly-elected Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki, a group of Christian women and children—some entire families—barricaded themselves in a church. Muslims, inflamed by Odinga’s men, torched the church and burned to death everyone inside. This is the man Obama campaigned for in Kenya, and sang the praises of. This is also the man who claims that Barack Obama is a close, personal friend. Christianity would be outlawed.
[My own research indicates that the elections held in December were not legitimate and early polls had indicated an Odinga victory. So Odinga was right in fighting back. The US has pushed for a compromise and a coalition agreement has now been agreed to between Kibakki and Odinga which appoints Odinga as Prime Minister. Facts are facts. Mar '08 ]
The following quotes are taken from Obama’s books.
- “The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam.”
“Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam ….”I looked to Lolo for guidance”.
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school” “I studied the Koran..”
” FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”
This is from a man who obviously is troubled by his mixed racial background. He has animosity towards whites and is partial to Muslims. He emphasizes
- Their (his friends) confusion made me question my own racial credentials all over again. …To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. (pages 99-100)
If nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence.
It seems to me that Obama and his Pastor are totally in sync. The Muslims, Palestinians and the blacks belonging to Wright’s church, all consider themselves oppressed by the white man and/or the Jew. They have found common cause with the Left in fighting America.
Not only, is Obama part black and part white, he is also part Muslim and part Christian and part African, part American. To “avoid being mistaken for a sellout” to the whites, he became a black nationalist.
I do not consider Obama a radical Islamist. But I do consider him to be a greater danger. If he would be the former, he wouldn’t come to power. If on the other hand he says “can’t we all just get along” he will be well received by many.
Obama is on the far left of the political spectrum. This includes the anti-war communist crowd, the anti-Israel crowd, the anti-American crowd, the pro-Palestinian crowd, the MoveOn.Org crowd, and the Islamic rapproachment crowd,
That’s why I fear the change he would bring. I want no part of it.
Now a few people have question my use of the first photo with Osama behind the facade of Obama. While I immediately said it wasn’t to compare them in any way, I must admit that Obama’s policies, which are the far left’s policies, would give rise to a further islamization of the world which is Osama’s goal. Furthermore what the hell was Obama, a US Senator, doing in Kenya, stumping for a radical Islamist in league with Russia. This alone should disqualify him from office in the US.

I suppose that the snakes in our government can not abide by anyone who dares to tell the truth. Only the president and his Secretary of Defence could cause this. Seems to me that they did the same thing to Bolton.

Shalom Jerry,
I read that Ring article when it came out.
Must agree with Ed. The White House signed off on this.
We must accept 2 major points:
- The United States is in a dangerous economic situation.
- The Arabs have the US over a petrodollar barrel, both figuratively and literally.
It takes time to rectify.
Kol tuv,
