Once a Muslim always a Muslim

Just as a Marine is always a Marine a Muslim is always a Muslim

In an effort to combat what it calls Internet smears, Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign recently launched a website with the stated aimed at supporting the deception of setting the record straight.

Oh yes let’s please do that!
One of the main issues addressed by Obama's "Fight the Smears" site is the contention the Illinois senator was once a Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian," states the site.

So yes, let us please set the record straight
First, the so-called [C]hristian church that Obama has attended for the past twenty years is a Black Muslim church, with Muslim hate ideologies and doctrines. The staff associates with Muslims and they hold Muslims in high esteem. If it talks, walks, and looks like a Muslim, well just maybe it is a Muslim. Christian Churches Black or otherwise do not preach hate, but Muslims do…Black Christian pastors do not wear Black Muslim skull caps but Black Muslims do.

Public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was a mosque-attending Muslim. Obama's campaign has several times wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the issue of Obama's childhood faith.

Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque – something the presidential candidate said he never did – Obama's campaign released a statement explaining the senator "has never been a practicing Muslim."

The issue of Obama's Muslim background has dogged the candidate amid multiple scandals involving his now former Chicago church and several spiritual advisers. As well as his connection to high-ranking black Muslims and terrorist’s organizations.

The issue re-emerged in recent months following conflicting media accounts of Obama's enrollment as a Muslim during elementary school in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Widely distributed reports have noted that in January 1968, Obama was registered as a Muslim at Jakarta's Roman Catholic Franciscus Assisi Primary School under the name Barry Soetoro. If Obama’s name was Barry Soetoro, one should ask why would he change it to Barack Hussein Obama. He was listed as an Indonesian citizen whose stepfather, listed on school documents as "L Soetoro Ma," worked for the topography department of the Islamic Indonesian Army.

After attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama was enrolled – also as a Muslim, according to documents – in the Besuki Primary School, a public school in Jakarta.

The Loatze blog, run by an American expatriate in Southeast Asia who visited the Besuki school, noted, "All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school, and a young 'Barry Soetoro,' being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran, and to study the Sharia laws of Islam."

Indeed, the Israel Insider online magazine points out that in Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," he acknowledges studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Quranic studies," wrote Obama.

The Indonesian media have been flooded with accounts of Obama's childhood Islamic studies, some describing him as a religious Wahhabist Muslim.

Speaking to the country's Kaltim Post, Tine Hahiyary, who was principal of Obama's school while he was enrolled there, said she recalls he studied the Quran in Arabic.

"At that time, I was not Barry's teacher, but he is still in my memory" claimed Tine, who is 80 years old. The Kaltim Post says Obama's teacher, named Hendri, died. "I remember that he studied 'mengaji (recitation of the Quran)," Tine said, according to an English translation by Loatze.

Mengaji, or the act of reading the Quran with its correct Arabic punctuation, is usually taught to more religious pupils and is not known as a secular study.

Also, Loatze documented the Indonesian daily Banjarmasin Post caught up with Rony Amir, an Obama classmate and Muslim, who describe Obama as "previously quite religious in Islam. We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong (waist fabric worn for religious or casual occasions) he looked funny," Amir said.

The Los Angeles Times, which sent a reporter to Jakarta, quoted Zulfin Adi, who identified himself as among Obama's closest childhood friends, stating the presidential candidate prayed in a mosque, something Obama's campaign claimed he never did.
"We prayed, but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said Adi.
Friday prayers
Aside from the new site to fight purported smears, Obama's official campaign site has a page titled "Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." The page states, "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ."

But the campaign conveniently changed its tune when it issued its "practicing Muslim" clarification to the L.A. Times. An article in March by the Chicago Tribune apparently disputes Adi's statements to the L.A. paper. The Tribune caught up with Obama's declared childhood friend, who now describes himself as only knowing Obama for a few months in 1970 when his family moved to the neighborhood. Adi said he was unsure about his recollections of Obama.

But the Tribune found Obama did attend mosque.
Interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors, and friends show that Obama was a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia, the presidential candidate's former neighbors and 3rd grade teacher recalling Obama followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers. Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, notes the Tribune article – cited by liberal blogs as refuting claims Obama is Muslim – actually implies Obama was a regular practicing Muslim and twice confirms Obama attended mosque services.

In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." The Times' Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer.

The first few lines of the call to prayer state:

"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... "

Some attention also has been paid to Obama's paternal side of the family. His father, described in some reports as an atheist, polygamist, and alcoholic, was buried in Kenya as a Muslim. Obama Sr., also named Barack Obama, had three sons with another woman who reportedly all are Muslim.

Obama's brother Roy is a practicing Muslim.
Writing in a chapter of his book describing his 1992 wedding, the presidential candidate stated: "The person who made me proudest of all was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Islamic Luo name, two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol."

Still, Obama says he was raised by his Christian mother and repeatedly has labeled as "smears" several reports attempting to paint him as a Muslim.

Meanwhile, Obama's new anti-smear website also denies claims by bloggers and commentators of the existence of a tape in which Obama's wife Michelle is said to rail against "whitey.” Other issues addressed by the site include claims Obama is hiding his birth certificate or that he won't recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Whether or not Barack Hussein Obama as he calls himself, is really a Muslim terrorist plant or not, is irrelevant. The very fact that there is a connection between Barack and a Muslim background should set off all the bells sirens and lights.

Lets make up a little scenario: Let’s say that a boy named Frantz Schmitt was born in this country in about 1908. His Mother was American and his father was German born. In 1917 the family moved to Germany. Later Frantz’s father became involved in the Nazi party, and in 1920 Frantz was enrolled in a Nazi youth school, in 1935 Frantz returned to the US and ran for Senator, after being elected he ran for President of the United States in 1942. Despite Frantz’s background and connections to the Nazi party, Frantz claimed that he was not a Nazi because of his American Mother and his good friend Reverend Hendrick Von Claptrap a swastika wearing Nazi, posing as a Christian Pastor.

Do you really, really believe Frantz would even been able to immigrate back to this country? If yes he likely would have ended up in a camp until after the war, but certainly he would not have gotten to first base with an American Political career much less run for President.

But thanks to the successful deceptive indoctrination of America by Islam, and like Nazism, we don’t really know what a Muslim is. Moreover we don’t even know who we are at war with.
Moreover, just what has Obama done in Politics to prepare him to lead the most powerful country on earth??? Read this...

May God save us from ourselves…
