‘I’ve never been a Muslim’: Barack Obama
p2pnet news | Politics:- Anyone who thinks the Kenyan garb donned by Barack Obama when he visited the country in 2006 looks even remotely Al Qaeda-ish obviously needs professional help.
The pic on the right has been doing the rounds online and further fuel was added to the fire when he was praised, last weekend, by Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan
This, "prompted pointed questions – during Tuesday night’s presidential debate and also in a private meeting over the weekend with Jewish leaders in Cleveland," says the Associated Press, going on:
"During the debate, Obama repeated his denunciation of Farrakhan’s views, which have included numerous anti-Semitic comments. And, after being pressed, he rejected Farrakhan’s support in the presidential race."
He "says repeatedly" he’s a Christian who took the oath of office on a family Bible, "Yet on the Internet and on talk radio – and in a campaign introduction for John McCain this week – he is often depicted, falsely, as a Muslim with shadowy ties and his middle name, Hussein, is emphasized as a reminder of Iraq’s former leader."
"If anyone is still puzzled about the facts, in fact I have never been a Muslim,” he told the Jewish leaders in Cleveland, according to a transcript of the private session, says the story.

So what is unusual about dirty politics? It’s something you see every election year. I’m surprised he even addressed it. Only thing I can think of is it is getting to him. Not a wise move to show on his part.

It is clear to me that after reading hundreds of articles questioning is Barack Obama a muslim that he is clearly not muslim. I just finished reading his autobiography and it’s clear that his father was, but he hardly knew his father. He met the guy 2-3 times in his life. How that makes him a Muslim I’ll never know. He was raised mainly by his white grandparents in Hawaii.
Sure he has a few friends that are Muslim, but so do I, and Hindu and Jewish for that matter. Does it make me Muslim, Hindu, or Jewish? No. Not anymore than having friends that are women makes me a woman.
