Have him answer these questions:
1. Did you attend a madrassa for 2-4 years? (have a video clip playing in the background of kids mindlessly rocking back and forth reciting the Koran)
2. Did you memorize the Koran?
3. Have you rejected Islam?
4. Do you believe that Jesus died for us in order for us to get to heaven?

I guess that whole “no religious test” of Article VI is really tough to grasp for some people. The point is to verify that he has no connections to the jihad, not to demand an expression of fealty to christianity. The day we start requiring that is the day America really is no different then the religious fanatics we’re fighting.

think most folks would vote for an atheist before they’d vote for a Muslim for President.

Gee, thanks, Enrique. At least with an atheist you can be certain he’s not hearing Jesus or Allah in his head.

Though I will admit you have to make sure he’s not hearing the ghost of Marx, either.

Hillary’s way too politically smart to do something like this.

You seem to be parroting AP’s assertion that this attempt was somehow clumsy or heavy handed and therefore couldn’t be Hillary. Was Nationalized Health Care under Hillary subtle or “handled” deftly? How about travelgate or those pesky FBI files? What about the articles leaked but NOT PROMULGATED by the press itself casting questions on Vince Fosters death? Puh-lease! You people better get your heads out of Hillary’s butt and realize that it is only because she has been PROTECTED by the MSM that has made her last even this long! OF COURSE they would put out the fact that Obama ain’t all that far away from OSAMA! They’d do it because they are secure in the knowledge that nobody but YOU will call them on it! Charles Shumers fraudulent obtaining of Mike Steele’s credit report made a big scandal for the dems didn’t it? NOT! Schumers NAME wasn’t even MENTIONED in the articles which condemned two of his staffers for the crime, it was like they worked for NOBODY! You’re just now realizing that Conseratives upset of Ellison’s “faith” and liberals outting Obama are 2 different things!??? Wake up and stop bringin’ a knife to a gunfight.

Hit songs:

“I’m Gonna Wash That Kufr Right Out of my Hair”
“I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major Mujahid”
“Don’t Cry For Me Ahmadina…”
“Funky Cold Madrassa”

The story of a little Muslim lad who wanted to be President… in order to destroy America from within!

Overture: “I’m Making and IED for EID”

Fantasy sequence – in Islamically-redecorated Oval Office- in which a young “Obama” dances with his older self (Gary Coleman and Eddy Murphy duet) and plans mayhem against the infidels.

I can hear the DNC batons tapping for the show to start…

That he was born Muslim does not concern me any more than it concerns me that George W. Bush was born Christian – it is what people do when they are on their own that matters.

It’s not what concerns you or me that’s at issue here – it’s what concerns the Muslim umma. It makes room for only two categories under which to place Mr. Obama: either

1. An apostate from Islam
2. A raging taqiyya artist

#1 is not a casual choice. There will be implications for him (and all of us, if he is elected to higher office). #2 is self-explanatory, and we both hope he’s not this.

There are no other, more nuanced alternatives, unless people like Mr. Spencer have somehow misread the Islamic sources and their modern-day representatives and clerics, which have never deviated and do not today deviate one iota from classical doctrine.

If Mr. Obama’s exposure in the world continues to rise, so will cries from the Muslim world demanding to know whether he’s #1 or #2. And there’s nothing much we can do about it, except to recognize and understand the impuluse as intrinsic to Islam (your earlier experiences with your NajiPakistani roommate notwithstanding).

So: If he is #1, and not #2, then he still has a lot of explaining to do – if not to you, then to the Muslim world who will be demanding it – so that they may judge precisely what form his apostasy from Islam has taken/will take.

I’ve also met many devout Muslims that have not been radicalized. In fact, one of my roommates in college was a Pakistani male (I’m a girl) and his father was aware that he was living in a mixed gendered situation and was fine with it.

W/all due respect, your situation as explained doesn’t necessarily reveal a lot. The father might be tolerant, he might not; Muslim puritanism doesn’t express itself in the same way as Christian. You’re weren’t Muslim, hence you had no honor to protect, so why would his father (or any other Muslim) care?

Two other cases – EITHER his daughter rooming with a kuffar male in college – OR his son rooming with a Muslim female (not his blood relative) – would demonstrate more of what you’re suggesting. (Not saying his father’s bad, just saying his reaction is consistent with both ends of the spectrum.)

What would also reveal a lot is: does the father prefer a legal system that upholds your right to testify against his son in court if you had been ra–d, over one that adheres to Islamic law? If so I would be impressed with the father – and would wish there were many more like him in the candidate pool of Muslims for U.S. President.

Sen. Hillary Clinton jumped into the fray as a 2008 presidential candidate with the words “I’m in” posted on her Web site.

The ticket-takers at various DC-area national parks are expecting business to pick up substantially. </sarcasm?>

I don’t like you

Now you’re just trying to make me cry. Well Mission Accomplished! my cruel friend, Mission Accomplished.

The issue is that Madrassas are ALL brainwashing ALL the time. If he is covering that aspect of his life up then there is a problem with him in any position, much less POTUS.

Does anyone else think that this is simply a pre-emptive move by Hitlery Rotten Clinton to get out in front of this issue so that when she and Obama are running mates they have thoroughly dealt with the issue so that it cannot bite them in the run-up to the election?

I think this is less a hit than a strategy to overcome a liability.

As we have learned over the last few years, many Muslims don’t take too well with those of their faith who deviate from it. So if Barack Obama is no longer a practicing Muslim, that could very well put a target on his head:An investigation of Mr…….

It’s starting early and is an indication of how concerned Hillary is about Obama. From Insight Magazine, Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been…

Even if it is bullshinola (as I believe it to be), it did bring up some good questions such as “Should Muslims/Islamists be allowed to hold public office?”. I answer in a resounding HELL NO!

Fortunately the Constitution disagrees.

He’s 45, right?

He was enrolled in the Madrassa when he was 6. That’s 39 years ago. That makes it 1968.

So, for this conspiracy to be true, we must assume that in 1968 (when there were still seperate drinking fountains for Whites and Blacks…or just a few years removed from that anyway) the radical Muslims had enough foresight to brainwash little, half-black Barack Obama so that he could one day convert (psyche!) to Christianity and trick the US people into voting him in as President?

Maybe I’m over simplifying it. Maybe the belief is that there are a lot of “sleeper AQs” that have fake converted to Christianity on the off-chance that they would someday reach positions of power….and Obama is the first (that we know of) that has achieved this?

I mean, the fact he’s a liberal democrat tells me he doesn’t have the same plan for America’s future that I do. And I don’t have a problem vetting him closely and making sure that he doesn’t have any skeletons/hidden agendas in his closet. I’m just not sure I can see the conspiracy.

On the other hand, if the Muslim’s in the 1960′s had the foresight to brainwash a guy like Obama to put him in place for 2008…..I’ve gotta give props to those guys. That’s some good thinking ahead.

Almost a month ago to the day, I responded to a disgusting post Debbie Schlussel wrote about Barack Obama’s middle name being Hussein and his connection to Islam. Her basic argument, as Allah put it at the time, was that……
