Obama and Apostasy From Islam »

Posted by: stephen-johnson 2 years, 5 months ago

By Thomas Lifson - Barack Obama was born to Muslim father, married to an American atheist. His father's religion is the reason both his first and middle names, Barack and Hussein, are Islamic in origin. According to Islamic scripture, one born to a Muslim father is a Muslim. Forever. Because according to Muslim law and tradition, the penalty for le

    "It is long past time for non-Muslims to demand that Muslims offer reciprocity in the realm of tolerance for other faiths. The West, over the course of several difficult centuries, has created tolerant societies, from which Muslims greatly benefit on the basis of equality. Yet Muslim theology and practice in several important countries do not offer the same tolerance.

    This asymmetry must end. If Barack Obama can help raise this issue, based on his own unique circumstances, I would not seek political advantage, I would support him in it. But of course, if he refused to make such a call, that would raise many red flags."

    Interesting. His heritage could prove to be an interesting platform for religious tolerance in Muslim countries. I will be curious to see what he does with it.

    Obama is no more Islamic that you or I. Attempts made to discredit Obama by casting him as a stealth Muslim will backfire. I feel that some will try to do it nevertheless, since going negative on a black candidate any other way is definitely not PC.

    His problem with religion is that of the education he accepted years ago. What we don't need right now is a radical muslum sympathizer.

    Not that I am a religious nut, but the Bible says that a man will fool the people into believing him a good man and he will betray them into the beginning of the end of the world. Is Obama this man?

      Why should Barack Obamas' religion figure into the equation at all? Seriously...why? The only requirements for a president are that he or she be 35 years old, and a natural born citizen.

      Well I'm sure his run for the presidency will be brief. I'm sure Shrillary is laughing herself to death on this one. Wait a minute. What am I talking about? If he is a Muslim the dems will then support him. Especially if he's a terrorist. That's scary.

      Obama is just a passing wind. The guy looks like he just got out of high school. What kind of experience does he have in anything? Other than being a minority candidate, who is he?

      A friend just sent me this info: Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia.

      Obama's spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best.

      In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

      Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world.

      Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim.

      Why is the media, (ALL) so obsessed with Mr. Obama, Who is he and what is his track record, None. The media has a responsibility to inform its readers so they can assess the candidate and make an informed decision. I do not see this when it comes to Obama. WHY, is the media mesmorized by a invisible candidate? Every person has something in their background that would initiate a pause upon pulling the lever. If its serious, don't vote for him, but the media is attempting to elect the next presidential candidate without a full disclousure of that candidates history and track record. UNBELIEVEABLE.

      If you are born of a Muslim Father, you are Muslim. Forever. You can attend the Catholic Church, the jewish Synagogue, or Earl Gantrys Tent church, you are still a Muslim. He won't address it. He must, because we will not consider a Muslim President. He has to deny his Muslim roots, or be considered Muslim.

      Rickcb - Thanks for the post but it is not the picture I am looking for. Please don't mention the senate, No record to speak of. His record within the Illinois state senate would be very helpful. But the most profound piece of information I would like to speculate on, is how his cohorts rank him, both negative and positive, then I will know more about Mr. Obama. Information of this caliber is still lacking within the media to understand the man real profile.

        What is so scary is that those who are claiming Barak cannot do the job because of his religion or background are the same ones who put GWB in office. GWB has done more to destroy this countries way of life than any of the terrorist could ever hope to accomplish. Bush has us giving up all our liberties and rights for the little bit of security in reality he cannot provide.

        Give me a muslim, if that is the case, who believes in the totality of his/her religion and all the peaceful and respectful ways that are most of the teachings and we would at least go back toward where we should be. Right now we are acting under fear and moving closer and closer to what happened to Germany and its sytem in the 30's and we know what that led to.

        I must say some of the comments on here about Barak and his name or religion...are very very stupid.

        just stupid.

        Are we not a country built on weird names?

        And as far as Religion goes.

        Never vote for Catholics cuz we have the worst history for persection than any other Religion on the Planet.

        Dont you guys ever watch anything besides Fox news???

        If your father is Muslim you don't get to choose, you are Muslim. Forever. Osama bin Bama can pretend all he wants that he is something else, but he is Muslim. He cans deny his Muslim roots, and be anything he wants, but Apostasy in Islam is punishable by death. Democrats already gave this country it first Muslim Congressman, but there will be no Muslim President.

        In Islam, if one's father is muslim they are considered muslim. In Judaism it is the opposite: if one's mother is Jewish then they are Jewish.

        Try reading a little bit about other faiths before coming to your own conclusions.

        once again its the liberal left that spouts talking points without knowing the facts--these questions about osama obama being raised in a muslim madrassa are being raised by hillary clinton amd the dems--he is a part time christian and i think he hid this and its a legitimate question for him to answer--as well as his voting record which puts him solidly in the the socialist/marxist anti-american camp--his appeal is to the hard left that controls the dnc--where is howie??--where is mrs dean??so much to hide in this current crop of dems

        As some other people have wisely stated, so what if he's Muslim? As long as his beliefs don't greatly interfere with or influence his politics, he could be a Satanist and I wouldn't care much.

        Stop focusing on little stuff that doesn't matter and start getting down to the real issues.

        I found the comments about how the press could have fun with his religious background and make him squirm very telling. Who cares about real issues lets just dig up some dirt and see how he handles it.

          Will this guy stand up and call the Koran incorrect? I think that's the point of the article. Tell me if I'm wrong. If he is unwilling to criticize the Koran then will he work toward implementation of the road-map?

          George Bush owes way too much to the Christian right wing, and that's one of the reasons this republican doesn't like him. A candidate owes us a clear immage of his beliefs.

          We know little enough about Obama and suspect much. As far as we know he could have deep sympathies with radical Islam. Where would his loyalties come down in a pinch. We've never seen him tested. So far he's just a celeb.

          So the right wingnuts are already going after anyone that might run against the Grand Ole Pedofiles.The other thing that Obama has in common with JFK is that the GOP of the time went after him on religeous grounds also.They couldn't stand it that he was catholic.Good or bad as a pres is still debated but he was one of the most loved presidents of the twentieth century.His religeon never came up as an issue during his years in office.If Obama can keep out of the muck being raked he just might be the repubs worst case scenario.A diligent,hard working moral person.
