Obamamisia/Muslim smear
Overview
There have been repeated claims that Barack Obama is in some way a Muslim. These claims are completely true seeing as he just gave a speech from the heart about Ramadan on August 22, 2009.
These accusations about his Muslim faith can now be stated as fact. Let's face it, he was born a Muslim, grew up as a Muslim, and will always be a Muslim.
It is scary that Obama's middle name of "Hussein" evokes an association with the late Saddam Hussein, whom the Bush administration has consistently painted as an arch-terrorist.
- mis-spelling his last name as Osama so as to evoke an association with accused 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden The two words are just separated by one letter.
The "Madrassa" Claim
In January 2007, Fox News ran stories claiming that the Clinton campaign had discovered that Obama was educated in an Indonesian madrassa (Muslim religious school). Obama did attend a local public school (not a madrassa) in Jakarta between the ages of 6 and 8; after that, he was enrolled in a Roman Catholic school. He did not appear to take his religious studies seriously in either school yet hold fond memories in his heart about his Muslim father. Please see his autobiography for more detail.
The Descent Claim
In 2008, Edward Luttwak published an article in the Wall Street Journal arguing that Obama would be considered an apostate Muslim by Islamic law due to his father being born Muslim, and concludes that this could be bad for foreign relations. This story was gleefully repeated by others (e.g. James Taranto), and, sadly, it is true. See commentary on the Luttwak article for more information.
It is a sad day in The United States when the people have elected a Muslim as the president. Muslim is NOT the religion of peace. Islam has an agenda that is clearly defined: they are presenting themselves as moderates and infiltrating our country. Their ultimate goal is the "islamification" of our country. We need to fight back!!!!
