Hard on the heels of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, significant numbers of Americans think President Obama is a Muslim. The uncomfortable fact for the White House is the more the American people get to know Mr. Obama, the more they think he is a follower of Islam.
Rumors of Mr. Obama’s purported Muslim identity spread in January of 2007 and were tied to Hillary Rodham Clinton operatives, who denied responsibility. The Obama camp responded that “Barack Obama is not and has never been a Muslim. 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 Rev. Jeremiah Wright's] United Church of Christ.” That seemed definitive.
But in a February 2008 interview with the New York Times, Mr. Obama said the Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” He then recited it, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.” The opening of the Adhan contains the Shahada, the Muslim profession of faith, proclaiming, “There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God.” Stating this before two Muslims is the traditional requirement for joining the Islamic faith.

Notes:
Sounds to me like things are “hotting up” as Muslims try to claim their victory and Americans scream “no way”. We’ll all get to see how that goes on November 2nd.
And “no” Nancy. America will NOT shut up.
if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…………
Who cares if Obama is a Muslim? I’m helping a candidate in Toronto’s municipal election who is a capable Muslim with lots of good ideas and a distain for the corruption left back in the hell hole escaped from. Plus there are plenty of Muslims helping excellent non-Muslim candidates all over Toronto. Don’t let the race industry trap us on that.
The issue for Obama is not his religion, it is: what does he stand for? He is still in campaign mode. He wants the Christians to think he went to church for 20 years and he doesn’t want some of his Muslim support to know where he stands on Shari’a law; he has never condemned that. He stands on all sides of the debate, which he could pull off as a “charming” Community Organizer. But “charming” won’t work as leader of the free world. Instead, he showed the voters a blank slate and people filled it in with THEIR ideas. Obama’s slate is still blank, as is his mind, he is just a TOTUS. Therefore it’s the Obamarx gang that is the problem…cronyism with unions, mega companies, special interest groups and the “enemy within”….particularly the MSM and academia…that’s the problem and it won’t just go away by getting rid of Obama.
We are seeing a repeat of blame Bush. If Bush had been the problem all would be well now wouldn’t it? The Islamofascists in the ME should now be cheering, Palestine and Israel should be having a love-in, and the Euroweenies should be doing their share to offload Gitmo and bulk up NATO to go after the Taliban and al Qaeda. But none of that is happening because the world operates in its self interest and does not get “charmed” by a bowing and apologizing TOTUS.
The US will get rid of Obama like they got rid of Carter. But the problems won’t go away, there is no magic solution; instead it will take more Tea Party engagement by the middle class to tell their representatives what it is they want.
It is irrelevant at this stage if Obama is a Muslim or a Methodist; or if he was born out in the Pacific in Jakarta or Honolulu or if he’s a Marxist or a capitalist. Obama is incapable of thinking about anything but himself so all his actions try to control you. Who cares what he is? The point is, like all progressives, he stands for nothing, he just wants to control you. Getting rid of him will not get rid of Tranzi, progressive One Worlders like Pelosi and Soros, there are still plenty of these parasites around; it’s like fighting crime or poverty, it is a continuous battle.
Who cares if Obama is a Muslim? I think everyone in Canada and the United States should care if Obama is a Muslim. Having a Muslim leading the USA during a war on Islamic terror is the same as the having a nazis as president during the second world war. Muslims have loyalty to one thing and one thing only, And that is Islam. Obama is an extreme danger to the western world. I hope that the fools that calls themselves progressives, will soon realize this
Ernie you need to differentiate between Islam and the following group (which is a small percentage but dangerous because 10% of 1.5 billion is a big problem)
- Islamofascists
- Islamic fundamentalism
- Islamists
Also beware that if Obama is a faux Christian from the racist Jeremiah Wright’s Church, he is dangerous.
But mostly he is dangerous because he doesn’t know who he is and is being used by progressive Tranzis as a Messiah to read their speeches off the Teleprompter. When the Messiah gets past the adulation of his Palm Sunday and people turn on him he will not go willingly, he will become dangerous; dangerous not because he’s a Muslim or a Marxist but because he is a pathological narcissist.
Given Jeremiah Wrights’s close connections with Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam and his Black Liberation Theology only the blind and the stupid would assume that Oblamebush is a Christian. I doubt that Oblamebush is a Muslim ideologue but I am convinced that his sympathies lie with the enemies of America. The ideology of Islam being one. Islam being a brutal political system wrapped in an anemic theology that understands only one thing and that is force. Either Islam must be contained by force or Islam will rule by force. As you can tell if you look at any of the nations ruled by Islam its not a pretty thing. As Franklin Graham said, “Islam is an evil religion”.
Well said Nom and Joe — Christianity (extremists)also has much to answer for as does Islam and I’m sure most religions do.
My God has the right answers, no my god has the right answers, Oh fuddle duddle.
Yer right there UV you can never be too careful around those extremist Christians. Why just last week the Amish and Mennonites opened up their own wallets and began another disaster relief!
I believe that Obama is a Muslim (once you join you can’t leave). As some have pointed out millions do not agree with violent Islamic thought but the point is this. Many millions do.
And this “birdbrain” is in the “stupid camp” as he lies and lies.
My View: It’s time to fire them all and end it.

The article is correct.
We aren’t talking about christians or other religions here, UV. Stay on topic, we are talking about Obama believed by a sizeable population of Americans, to be muslim here. Leave the christians and your take on them out of the discussion. No one here is interested.
Theres no proof that Obama is a Muslim but a practicing Christian. Its just more of the looney right trying to find anything to discredit him.
And Joe, dont go to Northern Ireland cause those christians are still trying to kill each other, although at a slower pace then before.
Well UV it would seem everyone who has looked at the Northern Ireland situation except you knows that religion makes a good dividing line but is not the cause of the violence. The English (Protestant) invaded Northern Ireland against the will of the native Irish (Catholic). The invasion of Ireland by the English had nothing to do with Christianity and the ensuing resistance also has nothing to do with Christianity but it makes a good headline in the newspaper. If you notice there is no violence between the native Catholic and native Protestant in Southern Ireland.
As for the rest of your nonsense. Oblamebush grew up attending mosque not church. Every action he has taken shows his sympathy lies with Islam and not Christianity. He attended what some might call a church in Chicago but if evidence of Christianity in that church was gun powder there wouldn’t be enough to blow your nose. Black Liberation Theology is not Christian its Marxism. Jeremiah Wright felt closer to Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam than Christianity. Oblamebush speaks glowingly of Islam not Christianity. Now you say that there is “proof that Oblamebush is a practicing Christian” please provide some.
He does not have to be discredited. HE WON’T SAY WHAT HE REALLY IS, WILL HE?? The only place in the world Christians are killing each other ==iRELAND. Really, how many other places are there that kill each other because they are MOSLEMS (I know I spelt it incorrectly–they are not worthy of anything). Evan, the Christians do not kill like the moslems. The moslems kill everyone. Their own people; people trying to help them; people saying anything about them; their own women; their own children and anyone else!! They would kill anyone!!
Yes, please provide some proof he is Christian. He bows to Saudi Arabia; he does not kiss the Pope’s ring. He only bows to Saudia Arabia; not the Christian Queen and Prince of Wales.
They are like the mafia. Once you are in; you cannot leave. YOU WILL BE KILLED. No ostracised(sorry) BUT KILLED. You really are comparing this to Christains. I would rather be a Christian than a dirty, fouled mouthed Moslem (I only say this as a woman).
#13 please provide conclusive information that Obama is a Muslim and does it really matter any how.
As for Saudia Arabia, at least Obama didnt hold hands with one of the Saudia Royal family members like the Bushman did.
There was a story a couple of days ago about 4 young muslims that had become christians and were beheaded for it.
Lovers stoned to death.
Woman stoned then shot.
Secret prison found with 27 men chained and obvious victims of torture.
And not a word of condemnation by the coalition who think our soldiers tortured detainees.
#13-I don’t have to provide conclusive proof–he does not confirm whether he is or he is not!! This means, according to the moslems, he is. He cannot drop out; he cannot say definitely he is as this would mean less votes. He has changed the term from terrorists to something else. He does not condemn anyone who has committed a terrorist’s crime. He sucks up to any moselm–not to any Christian.
And yet Obama continues to send more American troops into Afghanistan and for what reason, to search and destroy Taliban Muslims. I hardly call that ‘sucking up to Muslims.’
“Obama didn’t hold hands with one of the Saudia Royal family”. You are right UV but you ignored the reason for it. Oblamebush would have held their hands but after he kissed their butts the Saudis wouldn’t allow it.
He has no choice–he has no choice but to send troops; he would lose votes!! He is a slime bucket; with no suit of clothes. The Taliban does not supply votes. He will do ANYTHING FOR VOTES.
‘He’ll do any thing for votes’ What politician doesnt?. I seem to recall that at one time, Bush even said ‘they werent in the business of nation building’ so many politicians, even up here say one thing and then do something completely different.
Remember Harper saying he wouldnt tax income trusts?
Remember Dalton McSlippery saying ‘he wouldnt raise our taxes?
As for Obama sending troops to Afghanistan cause he would loose votes. How so when so many Americans are now against this war?
You realize UV that an occidental mind can’t understand an oriental mind.
The fact is that Oblamebush is sending more troops to Afghanistan. However that won’t hurt his Muslim standing. Any Afghans killed or injured by the Americans are considered martyrs and thus guaranteed entrance to paradise. Second if Oblamebush can incite more Muslims to jihad by sending in the American troops it raises his standing in Muslim eyes. Sending in the troops is a win win win for Oblamebush since the gullible Americans think he is continuing the noble struggle against radical Islamists.
So, how does Harper come into this? Of course, you cannot discuss Obamasan without putting down other leaders. We are talking about Obamasan–religion. Harper does not discuss his religion–Harper stepped into the Income Trusts as this was the best for Canada–Mr. DRUNK McCallum would have done the same thing!! Mr. Bush, at least made it obvious he did not condone the actions of the Moslems. Of course, he said “God bless America” so, he is a Christain. He did not kill other Christians. Moslems kill their families; their friends; their enemies; anyone because they do not agree with them. Mr. Harper has NEVER DISCUSSED RELIGION.
YOU ARE COMPARING MR. HARPER TO DOLTON MCGUFFY. MR. HARPER SAID WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO; EXCEPT FOR INCOME TRUSTS. THAT IS THE ONLY THING HE CHANGED. I BELIEVE HE DID THIS BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. HOW DARE YOU COMPARE HIM TO DOLTON MCGUFFY–NO NEW TAXES–TWICE. I NOW HAVE TO SUBSIDIZE GREEN ENERGY WITH A PENSIONER’S INCOME–DOES HE CARE? NO, HE IS ONLY INTERESTED IN “GREEN ENERGY” WHICH WILL KILL ME !! SO, HOW DARE YOU COMPARE THE TWO?
The point being is that most politicians lie when it suits their cause which is not always in the best interest of the people they serve. Whatever happened to Harpers ‘open/accountable government & smaller government and less taxes, an elected senate, perogation of Parliament. Yes, he did lower the GST but not income tax and then bribed both Ontario and BC to implement his HST with monetary bribes. I believe he gave Ontario over $4 billion of our tax dollars and over $1 billion to BC.
As for Ontario’s McSlippery, there are many lieberals who consider him a closet Conservative in that he or his committee continues to close Ontario Hospitals and shifted the tax burden from corporations to the taxpayer with the HST.
Joe, as for Northern Ireland, again it was a Christian country invading another and violence continues but at a lesser pace.
But I degress as we are supposed to be discussing Obama.
Game on!
UV, you can’t keep getting away that kind of equivocating even if it is off subject. People who keep saying all politicians are the same are the voters who refuse to do their homework and thus we get Obama.
“The point being is that most politicians lie when it suits their cause”. You are implicitly calling Bush and Harper liars. They did change directions because circumstances changed but that does not make them liars
Harper came down on income trusts because massive corporations like TELUS and Bell said they were going to turn into a trust. Royal Bank was musing about it. That could not be allowed to happen. This was a new event, new information; when I get new information I adjust my thinking. What do you do?
Bush did say he didn’t want to nation build. Then along came the most mind changing event in my baby boomer life… 9/11. Bush changed his mind. Again… when I get new information I adjust my thinking. What do you do?
McGuinty saying he would not increase taxes and then with no new information upping taxes is a lie. Ditto on the 407.
Nom…your much kinder to politicians than I. But a lie is a lie no matter how one colours it/sugar coats it.
And that my friend, seems to be turning many Canadians off from politics at both the federal and provincial levels.
And probably why the ‘Undecided Party of Canada (humor)’ is growing in poopularity.

UV, a lie is a lie but changing my direction on something when based on new information is not a lie. I do that all the time and don’t consider myself a liar when I do. I did 180 degrees on a number of issues after 9/11. That was a massive geopolitical change; as was TELUS a turning point on Bay St. If voters can’t distinguish the difference then we will get Obama and McGuinty and thus go broke by incompetence or downright evil in Government.
Your interpretation of lying is not logical and not practical; nor is being undecided ad infinitum because leaders don’t meet some utopian expectation. Parties and leaders are like all humans , error prone. The issue is the difference between integrity versus error.
The one thing Mr. Harper has is “integrity. McGuffy does not–remember when Mr. Eves said (and I do not remember the exact words) but “POINTY LITTLE HEAD”. This is McGuffy. He is an Obama-lite. He does not care about the voters–only the votes. MY FAMILY AND I WILL DIE BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD MCGUFFY AND HIS GREEN SHAFT!!
I PROMISED the kids to take them to Wonderland, then Granny died. They called me a liar.
Kids are not allowed to vote for a reason.
Sorry Nom, I have great respect for your opinion but your wrong when it comes to politics and lying which certainly seems to be turning off voters, federally, provincially for both the right and left. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this subject.
Now back to the subject on hand which was?????? Oh I know ‘Yes we can’
I canot believe this ideology. The Liberal way of thinking is “IF I CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYONE, I WILL. I WILL LISTEN TO MY `SUPPORTERS` AND NO ONE ELSE AS I AM THE SUPERIOR BEING. This is Obama and McGuffy–Lieberals.
How come No. 30 and 31 you did not even acknowledge what I have been saying!
With the situational awareness shown in some of the comments you wonder how some people can find their computer’s ON switch.
