Lets HOPE thats not true
stop spreading lies
thank you
Now thats a cute little conspiracy theory.
Obama also was responsible for 9/11 right?
Would you rather have a minister who believes in the death penalty, how hypocritical is that??? Like Mike Huckabee
No, he’s not. This is only a resurrected red herring often raised in an attempt at character assassination. Not only is it untrue, but only appeals to uneducated jingoists.
Well, that’s one way to get this country turned…& why I am not voting for him for anything.
A Muslim that goes to a Christian Church….Hmmmm….that would be the worst possible Muslim heresy. Does that honestly make sense to you? Sounds more like the other Democratic candidates are pretty desperate to smear him.
It’s well documented that Obama has never been a Muslim. In fact he pretty much eschewed all religious faiths until he became a Christian. I find it interesting that those who keep touting this theory never have anything to point to in order to back it up. There hasn’t been one person that’s come forward and said “Hey, Obama was practicing Islam during this time” or anything like it. Never anyone even claiming to have seen him entering a mosque or expressing Muslim ideas. Not from his childhood, not from his teenage years, not from his college days, or thereafter. Nothing, nada, zip. Just theories made up out of thin air because of his father who was never around, and his stepfather – who, frankly, couldn’t be much of a radical Muslim if he married an avowed atheist.
EDIT:
blursd2:
You could not be more misinformed. I challenge you to find ONE statement from Obama where he says he was ever a Muslim. Please stop spreading such deliberate misinformation. Here is something directly from his website:
“All of the claims about Senator Obama’s faith and education raised in the Insight Magazine story and repeated on Fox News are false. Senator Obama was raised in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother. Obama’s stepfather worked for a U.S. oil company, and sent his stepson to two years of Catholic school, as well as two years of public school. As Obama described it, “Without the money to go to the international school that most expatriate children attended, I went to local Indonesian schools and ran the streets with the children of farmers, servants, tailors, and clerks.” [The Audacity of Hope, p. 274]
To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago. Furthermore, the Indonesian school Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa.
These malicious, irresponsible charges are precisely the kind of politics the American people have grown tired of, and that Senator Obama is trying to change by focusing on bringing people together to solve our common problems.”
Hillary is still worse, find someone else.
I imagine there’s some element of truth in that. It’s very hard to put your early religious training behind you.
He was a Christian before his bid for the presidency. You need to do some research and pay attention so you don’t look foolish by asking questions like this.
Hey Elway …
Obama went to Islamic schools in Indonesia for however many years (between 6-10 years). He was a Muslim, but converted to Christianity. Saying there is no proof he was a Muslim is just not true … he has even admitted it.
Personally, I don’t care if he used to be a Taoist … even if he was still a Muslim does that really make a difference? Are we going to make our presidential candidate take a religious litmus test …? All I need to know is that he will defend the Constitution and not interject his own religious beliefs (whatever they may be) into the office of the President.
Edit: Obama rather touts the fact he USED TO BE Muslim, and converted to Christianity when he is courting the Christian vote. Those are his own words …
“we really don’t need someone like that in the Whitehouse”
Someone like what? Are we judging candidates now by what their parents did, or supposedly did?
What we don’t need is bigotry in the election process.
heh, I bet some of his ancestors were slaves as well. Certainly we don’t want people like that in the White House. Only purebreed white Christian Americans need apply to be president, yesirree.
