Obama is a Muslim: True or False?

Let's settle this issue, right here and right now. Is Obama a Muslim or what? Unfortunately, you can't even ask this question with sincerity and an open mind without being branded as some kind of conspiracy nut or as a racist or bigot. But let's address this question openly and honestly..."Is Barrack Hussein Obama a Muslim?"

And first off, we can't be blamed for asking the honest question. After all, the guy's name is Barrack Hussein Obama, and incredibly Muslim name (Barrack was the name of Muhammad's horse that took him to heaven). Furthermore, Obama is playing up the victim card because it seems to be working for the unfair attacks against Sarah Palin. The media's attack on her and her family have been helping her tremendously (as I predicted), and so Obama has been coming out about how "hurt" and "offended" he is that people would even ask the "Muslim question." It's been backfiring, however. Yesterday, Obama accidentally refereed to "my Muslim faith," not his "alleged Muslim faith." In real truth, although it was probably a Freudian slip and incredibly poor wording, it serves as great fodder for those of us believe he really is a closet Muslim. You can see the clip here.

So finally, what is Obama's known, proven, substantiated relationship to Islam? Let me print this article from Newsmax in it's entirety.

"Obama's ties to Islam are hereditary. His father was a Muslim, though Obama claims he was nonpracticing. According to Islamic law, Obama was born a Muslim, as religion is passed paternally. (Judaism, for example, passes religious identification maternally.)

Apparently in deference to his father, his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, is an Arabic name. The name Barack is a derivation of "Barak" -- the horse that took the prophet Muhammad on his flight into heaven.

Though Obama’s biological father disappeared from his son’s life soon after he was born and returned to his native Kenya, he was raised by his Kansas-born mother and her second husband, an Indonesian who was also a Muslim.

Obama has described his mother as a Christian, but Newsweek recently noted she had eschewed her parents’ faith in favor of secular humanism.

Obama’s mother and her Indonesian husband moved with young Barack from Hawaii to Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, in 1967. Obama lived there from ages 6 to 10.

Reports dating back as far as early 2007 held that Obama was educated at a radical Islamic school in Indonesia. Such reports are false. He never attended such a school.

In fact, Obama first attended a Catholic school for almost three years. However, his mother registered him in the school as a Muslim. As such, he was required to spending time each week praying with Muslim students and studying the Koran.

In the wake of the controversy over Obama's Muslim upbringing, The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to Jakarta to ferret out the truth.

The Times report, published on March 16, 2008, revealed:

A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Obama "was a Muslim. He went to the mosque."

Obama's first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: "Barry (Barack's nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim."
In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam."

O.k. None of that is the smoking gun, proving that Obama is currently a practicing Muslim. Period.

It does, however, prove that Obama has something to hide - and that's the scary part. Why do I say that? Because these substantiated facts from reputable reporting (most of which are substantiated by Obama's own biography) are disputed by Obama's campaign. Let me give an example.

Earlier this year, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs claimed: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." That's sure strange considering that in his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."

Obama's campaign Web site hosts a page titled "Fight the Smears" -- which is dedicated to fighting what his campaign says are false claims about Obama and Islam. The web page states categorically: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." That is an absolutely false statement. The facts - and even Obama's own admissions - prove otherwise.

For the following reasons, I am not giving Barrack Hussein Obama the benefit of the doubt in assuming his conversion to Christianity for the following reasons.

#1. His policies give me no reason to believe that he is an actual Christian.

#2. He had a thoroughly Muslim upbringing from two Muslim fathers, attending school as a Muslim, and frequented Muslim studies and Mosques all throughout childhood.

#3. He and his campaign are actively covering up and lying about fact #2.
