Democrat Presidential Hopeful Obama's Muslim Background

[The Galatian]

The only practical concern would be that by Islamic law, Obama is an apostate for converting to Christianity.

That could be a problem with the Muslim community.

You must be joking. Every American legislator is to the right of any member of the Irish Dail.

I am pretty certain the same is true for most of Europe

Not joking, just perhaps ignorant. Irish Dail??

 

[NaasPreacher (C4K)]

Sorry, the Irish parliament. The most right party there would make the Democrats in the US look conservative.

No, it couldn't.

Islamic law, especially in a khaffir land, instructs an Islam to do anything and everything to spread the word of Allah.

The real question is why Obama has hid this from the public.

No, that's the fake slimeball question put out by the Republican smear-machine. The allegation is false. The allegation that Clinton was behind the rumor is also false.

School not a madrassa

But reporting by CNN in Jakarta, Indonesia and Washington, D.C., shows the allegations that Obama attended a madrassa to be false. CNN dispatched Senior International Correspondent John Vause to Jakarta to investigate.

He visited the Basuki school, which Obama attended from 1969 to 1971.

"This is a public school. We don't focus on religion," Hardi Priyono, deputy headmaster of the Basuki school, told Vause. "In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don't give preferential treatment."

Vause reported he saw boys and girls dressed in neat school uniforms playing outside the school, while teachers were dressed in Western-style clothes.

"I came here to Barack Obama's elementary school in Jakarta looking for what some are calling an Islamic madrassa ... like the ones that teach hate and violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan," Vause said on the "Situation Room" Monday. "I've been to those madrassas in Pakistan ... this school is nothing like that."

Vause also interviewed one of Obama's Basuki classmates, Bandug Winadijanto, who claims that not a lot has changed at the school since the two men were pupils. Insight reported that Obama's political opponents believed the school promoted Wahhabism, a fundamentalist form of Islam, "and are seeking to prove it."

"It's not (an) Islamic school. It's general," Winadijanto said. "There is a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian. ... So that's a mixed school."

The Obama aide described Fox News' broadcasting of the Insight story "appallingly irresponsible."

And guess who owns the website that put out that disinformation...the Reverend Sun Myun Moon.

What's really pathetic is for you to reference an article written 5 days after this thread was begun and pretend it is information the rest of us should have already had.

Or is it just "snarky" on your part?:smilewinkgrin:

You didn't really expect the Clinton's to own up to their smear, did you?

What are you talking about? Obama wasn't Clinton smeered but he was Moon'd. Are you still contending this is a Clinton smeer?

What would have been less pathetic is for you to concede that the information you received was wrong and to back off your statement about Obama hiding things (atleast on this issue). Instead, you still find a way to pin this on Daisy because of an alleged pretending?

I'm gonna call the Center for Snarkiness Control to reel this one in.

If it walks like a duck...

And I have seen no proof to the contrary. Care to provide some?

Obama needs to get used to it.

It's your allegation, burden of proof is yours.

Wrong.

The allegation is Insight's. I tend to agree because it fits the Clinton pattern and Hillary has the most to gain from smearing Obama.

Until someone presents evidence to the contrary, I'll stick with that opinion.

Right and Insight is owned by Moon. Thus, are you indicating the Bush buddy Moon is now siding with the Clinton's?

Moon is your obsession, not mine.

You know what is ironic, is Texans running down other Presidents and candidates when Texas has produced America's two most pathetic, Lyndon Baines Johnson and George W Bush.

Why don't you just go ahead and post this on every thread on BB and get it over with? Is this the 3rd or 4th thread you've posted it in?

It doesn't seem to matter to you whether or not it is related to the subject.

Better yet, make it your signature line and it can show up on all your posts.:thumbs:

Why dont you say something positive about candidates or running for office every now and then. Trust me, your standards are not the measuring stick. We have been through this before.

Texas didn't produce George W Bush. Connecticut spawned him and he went to school in smart Yankee land. Then he moves to Texas, buys a pig ranch and a big ole belt buckle and wallah...manufactured country boy.

As for LBJ...no excuse, some Texans just go bad.

I know we have. You keep posting the same thing all over the board. Have you added it to your sig yet?

Some people didn't think he was so bad when he was ramming ground breaking civil rights legislation through Congress.

I don't care for him much at all , but he had some very positive and very real and historic accomplishments.
