Now it can be told: Obama has “Muslim roots”

I guess this means the “Hussein” comment that O’Reilly smeared us with last week wasn’t so offensive after all. Ah well. Enjoy talking about it now because, come 2012, it’ll be safely verboten once again.
You can imagine Tapper writing the headline to his post, thinking, “I know Drudge is going to love this. I know it.” And sure enough. That’s the mark of a smart blogger, folks. Anyone can wring big traffic from a big story. Wringing big traffic from crap is where we separate the men from the boys.
Which reminds me. We’re overdue for an atheism post.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”…
Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president’s roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world.
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama referenced how many “Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them.”
This should give U.S. diplomats a handy conversation-starter with the “death to America” crowd we’ve invited to celebrate, um, America’s birthday. Exit question: Whose Obama cultists are more devout, ours or Egypt’s? I’d say it’s a close call.

So when will Barry/Barack “reset” the al Jazeera videos from Libya. Removing online historical public addresses from Libya is censoring truth, as truth is a reflection of what is, what has been, what is or has been said. So much for open dialogue.
Obama still clings to his authoritarian pirated powers to “own” the media and the markets in his “Egyptian Sale”. Mu‘ammar al-Qaḏāfī clarified Obama for Libyans and Arabic Muslims to appreciate, as well as tutoring Obama by name on the basics of governance by power and overt deceit, but specifically on what Obama should do for and in Islam.
maverick muse on June 3, 2009 at 7:17 AM
Obama thinks of himself as the new Lincoln. Abe never let himself be pinned down on the question of religion, never joined a denomination and paid it lip service only when rhetorically fitting. My guess is that Obama is an agnostic who has no qualms about using religion for political purposes. If there were enough votes to be had he would take a side trip here taking the left hand exit. This would be a sure fire way to get rid of the Washington press corps.
Annar on June 3, 2009 at 7:19 AM
Don’t latch on to it. Its just a tactic to discredit any questions about Obama and in the end make those pumped up about this topic look like fools.
With the absolute and careful grooming of Maobamas image, does anyone really thing this type of thing would be allowed to ooze?
Anytime there is anything that he’s doing that actually is controversial..taking over a private company..having an inexperienced 31 yr.old Poli-sci student lead the dismantling and rebuilding of an American icon industry..having the DOJ refuse to pursue serious crimes and instead launch a vendetta against a popular sheriff who is simply enforcing the laws while refusing to investigate the criminal enterprise known as ACORN,..making the murder of an American soldier by an islamic terrorist go unmentioned etc. etc, you need a diversion. “Hey!..did you hear the ‘bama said he had some muslim relatives?…WE got ‘em man..we GOT ‘em”
Its a ploy that can be easily handwaved away while making the issue look petty and desperate.
Deflection/head fake.
Itchee Dryback on June 3, 2009 at 7:39 AM
His staff and cabinet picks are dominated by Ashkenazi’s who have dual Israel/American citizenship. Why is everyone worried President Obama extending out a hand to Muslim countries? He certainly has shown deference to Israel and it’s citizens by staffing his cabinet with them, his cabinet is far more influential with him than any Muslim government.
True_King on June 3, 2009 at 7:46 AM
Actually I think the only religion Obama believes in is himself. The man is an ego maniacal megalomaniac.
I believe he thinks himself to be a god.
wildcat84 on June 3, 2009 at 7:46 AM
Hows that make him a muslim
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:01 AM
Yes — plenty of them, billions actually
In one of Muhammad’s ahadith by Sahih Bukhari,e he states that every child is born a Muslim, but it is his parents who “pervert him into a christian or a jew”
So yes there is such thing as someone who is no longer a muslim.
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:06 AM
Can we say Hussein now?
Benjamin9 on June 3, 2009 at 8:10 AM
I think people have to put their paranoia down
No, he’s not a muslim
no he’s not hiding some secret muslim faith for all these years.
yes, leftists are sympathetic to the jihadist cause. that we know
but he is not a muslim. he did not spend much time at a madrassa at all.
just stop
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:11 AM
I think not, in light of the fact that approximately 83% of Americans are Christian.
It appears that in Barry Soetoro’s case, the acorn did not fall far from the tree(s).

It’s no big surprise. I’ve been waitng for him to announce his conversion to islam ever since he was sworn in.

I know he ain’t a Muslim, so why don’t you back off?
It’s not about the “high horse.”
It’s about not wanting people on our side coming up with all these ridiculous theories.
That’s what 9/11 truthers are for. Not us.
Oh — but that’s being on a high horse.
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:38 AM
No, you obviously do not understand Islam. When speaking directly to an Islamic community, the admission of Muslim Root’s is a declaration of Islamic faith. According to Islamic law, if your father is/was Muslim you are Muslim. To admit Muslim root’s while denying that you are a Muslim is to claim apostasy, a crime that carries the death penalty in Islam. Therefore Barrack Obama’s admission of Muslim root’s to a purely Islamic community is either the gravest of insults to Islam, or an open admission of Islamic faith. It cannot be anything else.
Now you get over it.
doriangrey on June 3, 2009 at 8:38 AM
I know if you have a Muslim father, you are a Muslim..
But dorian, you were BORN A MUSLIM in the eyes of Islam.
However, your parents perverted you into something other than a Muslim, so you are no longer one.
He lived with his father for a handful of years, his mother was not a Muslim — therefore, his mother perverted him into something other than a Muslim.
He ain’t a Muzzy

Don’t jump to conclusions just because the 4th. of July is being replaced by Ramadan.
MaiDee on June 3, 2009 at 8:42 AM
So, what you are saying is that a man who was educated in a madrassa, educated in Islamic law, is going to willingly and cheerfully tell numerous Islamic nations that he is a Muslim apostate, being fully aware that to do so is the single gravest insult he can give to Islam.
No, you sir are not only gravely mistaken, but self deceived.
doriangrey on June 3, 2009 at 8:48 AM
He spent only a short time in a Madrassa before the age of ten. He wasn’t educated in Islamic law in the sense that he’s some sheikh, imam, or anything of the sort. I doubt he remembers much at all from what he learned at 6 or 7.
There is no proof he is a Muslim. None.
He kept it secret for more than thirty years?
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:50 AM
I mean, he’s a super secret Muslim plant?
The Muslim lobby has their man in office?
Doubtful.
Might I add
Half his time spent in Jakarta was spent at Catholic schools
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:52 AM
He was raised as a Muslim. He sporadically attended Trinity Church for 20 years in order to show he was down with the struggle. Trinity hurch is not a Christian church. It practices Black Liberation Theology. They view Christ as a Revolutionary Leader. They do not believe in His Resurrection.
kingsjester on June 3, 2009 at 8:53 AM
hurch=church
too early. oops.
kingsjester on June 3, 2009 at 8:55 AM
One cannot be truly Muslim and the abortion industry’s best friend.
Probably the best word to describe the President’s religious ideology is pantheism.
jazz_piano on June 3, 2009 at 8:55 AM
Well, they do now.
LibTired (KO) on June 3, 2009 at 8:55 AM
So, in other words you’re going with he is so freaking stupid he is going to slam the Islamic world with the single gravest insult possible and not one single one of his advisers has warned him of this fact? No, the man has been and still is practicing Taqiyya in the fullest sense of the meaning of the concept.
doriangrey on June 3, 2009 at 8:57 AM
So, what’s the Koran’s status on people who are born Muslim and then worship as a Christian? I would think that Islam would have some harsh penalties for turning your back on Mohammed’s teachings.
hawksruleva on June 3, 2009 at 8:57 AM
Yes — I’m going with the idea that he is not a Muslim
Are you going with the one that he’s been a super secret one for more than thirty years?

blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 8:58 AM
LibTired (KO) on June 3, 2009 at 8:55 AM
Heh. Some people evidently think so. Have y’all heard that they will not allow any cameras or cell phones in his meeting with the Saudi King today? That’s probably so Barry can bow in deference again.
kingsjester on June 3, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Accusing Obama of being Muslim because of exposure to Islam in his youth is like saying AllahPundit is a Christian.
True Leftists are never truly committed to any religion; their political agenda and ideology take first place.

He kept it secret for more than thirty years?
blatantblue
He didn’t need to keep a secret for 30 years. He’s only been on the national scene for about three. But do keep telling us to drop the subject. We are breathless in anticipation of your sage advice.
SKYFOX on June 3, 2009 at 9:01 AM
Well, the hadith of Sahih Bukhari states that Muhammad stated everyone is born a muslim
–
including you and i
but our parents pervert us to something other than Islam.
Seeing as Obama went to Muslim AND Catholic schools during his short time in Jakarta, the perversion away from Islam was already beginning.
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 9:01 AM
Bill Bennett, Michael Medved and other self appointed spokesmen for conservatives will later today denounce the Obama Adminstration for claiming that Obama has Muslim roots. As they have frequently stated, the charge is untrue and just makes conservatives look bad to moderates and other normal Americans.
In other news, Obama announced to French TV yesterday that the US is one of the world’s largest “Muslim nations.”

james23 on June 3, 2009 at 9:02 AM
I know, sarcasm is the only thing you have left because there is no proof Obama is a Muslim.
We can either take the advice of Islamic Ahadith that would consider him no longer Muslim, or we can just keep insisting he’s a Muslim and ignore all evidence to the contrary. I’m done with the discussion.
blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 9:02 AM
SKYFOX on June 3, 2009 at 9:01 AM
One more thing
So what you’re saying is, only three years matters?
No — thirty does. Because those thirty years gives us some view into his religious life.
But oh! Wait..
he spent twenty of those thirty years at a Christian denominational church — not an Islamic Masjid!
Oh, and the other ten of those years, he didn’t spend at any religious institution.
But I’m just a moron, and you’re so smart.

blatantblue on June 3, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Kiddo, Trinity Church is not a Christian Church. They are a Black Liberation Theology Church. They do not believe Christ has risen. They believe he was a Revolutionary like Che. Baldilocks clued me in on this. There is also infomation about it on the web. He attended the church as a political expediency so he would look more “real”. Oprah attended for a bout 4 years and left.
kingsjester on June 3, 2009 at 9:12 AM
It’s good to see you fighting the good fight on this one, bb, but I don’t know what difference any of this makes anyway. Muslim, not a Muslim… he is dismantling America. On that I think we can all agree. Except for Grow Brains.

But we can’t let those emotions make us grasp onto these theories.

I agree to the extent that the agenda of the left and the agenda of the Islamists are practically inseparable (until the Islamists gain power), and people need to see that more than anything else.

No doubt.

I don’t doubt that. I believe that and i think it’s wrong
Thats why the Ikhwan Muslimun and their tentacle groups of CAIR, ISNA, and the MSA are so dangerous in this country. The left is helping them

I saw on the news this morning that Obama told France that the US has the most muslims in the world.. Evidently he is WRONG.. Indonesia does, then Pakistan, India, France has more than the US.. The US is 38th on the list.

kirkill on June 3, 2009 at 9:45 AM
His actions and words seem to point him somewhere between a general theist and an atheist. I know that’s broad but then again Obama changes his statements with his audience.
Though he cuddles up with muslims he himself has not demonstrated to be one.
Muslims typically are strongly anti-gay. With his recent statement this monday this seems harldy coming from someone who is muslim.
I’m surprised this statement didn’t make the news.
shick on June 3, 2009 at 9:58 AM
When Obama speaks glowingly of his encounters with Islam he mentions Chicago. The main pseudo Islamic cult existing there which he would have encountered is that of the racist Nation of Islam nowadays run by Louis Farrakhan. As ridiculous as the beliefs of the mainstream Islamic superstition may be it is definitely not racist. (Even Malcolm X eventually realized this and when he spoke out on the topic and criticized NOI founder Elijah Muhammad he was assassinated.) If nothing else this shows Barry’s ignorance with respect to the orthodox versions of Islam and could get him into trouble if he accidently associates a racist cult with either Sunni or Shi’a Islam.

Uniblogger on June 3, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Prove it. Here is what I think:
The facts:
1. Obama said we are not a Christian nation while in a Muslim nation.
2. Obama was wrong in his statement above when trying to placate the Muslim world.
3. Obama de-emphasized his Muslim heritage to get elected, and now is starting to emphasize it.
4. Obama pretty much ignored the national day of prayer.
5. Obama took down the Name of Jesus while speaking at Georgetown.
The evidence is starting to stack up that he really is a Muslim, and definitely not a Christian.
therightscoop on June 3, 2009 at 10:08 AM
Ooooh, scary! So what? I–and most reasonable Americans–couldn’t care less of he was Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Baptists or an atheist. Fortunately we live in a nation that doesn’t have a religious litmus test as a qualification for political office. Seems like some of you, erm, Christianists, wish that we did.

shick on June 3, 2009 at 10:14 AM
blatantblue, I hear what you’re saying. You’re afraid of us being like the leftist nutjobs. But there’s a difference here. Islam openly tells their people to lie. It’s not a “conspiracy” if we then wonder if someone with Muslim roots has been lying to us – especially when everything they’ve done to our country has been the epitome of what a Muslim would do. We’re just taking them on their own terms.
The fear of being a “conspiracy theorist” is putting us exactly where the left/Islam/all the anti-Christian powers in the world want us to be: divided and impotent. It’s like the science crowd which says that the only answer they can have is atheism – whether or not it’s a square peg and the evidence is a round hole. If there is a conspiracy and we can never say it is so, then we are doomed to be WRONG. And that’s where the powers we fight want us to be.
If every conservative in this country would just ask to see this guy’s birth certificate this whole “birther conspiracy” would be over. We would know the truth, which is all anybody has ever asked for. I personally believe we would also be rid of Obama. I believe that because I’ve seen at least 2 obvious, undeniable proofs that he posted a forgery when an eligible presidential candidate could have shown the real thing. If that makes me a nutjob, then I’d rather be an evidence-based, eyes-open, “the emperor is naked” nutjob than someone who can be “respected” by America haters.
I’ve appreciated your posts. I know we stand together. We don’t need to be afraid of each other. Nobody is crazy to simply ask to see the certifiably real version of what Obama has SAID he already showed us. To be afraid to ask to see it would be paranoia. The issue is what you’re more afraid of.

We know B Hussein studied islam at a madrassa regularly, but we don’t know if he took their oath of allegiance. I am willing to bet that he did.

Dogsoldier, we also know that he studied the Koran in Arabic, which is not what your average, run-of-the-mill, snotnosed “my parents make me do it but none of us really believes it anyway” Sunday school-type Muslim kid did.
I have no idea what he is. But I’ve seen nothing in his life that rules out Islam and a whole lot that looks a lot like what a closet Muslim practicing taqiyya would do.
The most holy Muslims of all are the ones who will blow up infidels. The people who blew up the NYC infidels were visiting whores and doing drugs as a cover. If that’s an okay taqiyya, then what of Obama’s life would be a no-no for a Muslim to do?

You did a bit more than point out the Muslim roots, Ms. Schlussel. And I doubt that you’re going to get an apology from someone while slinging a Nazi association at them. But you don’t really want one do you?

Kjeil on June 3, 2009 at 11:36 AM
Bin Laden hates Obama, and claims the new terrorists will be more ferocious against the USA than those on 9/11.
I’m not arguing that logic. But the wannabees can be worse than the real things, intent on proving their “legitimacy” or devotion to the terror cause.
A parallel to that position was Gaddafi’s lecture to Obama not to play the black president who envies whites, being neither black nor white, as being that sort of black victim complex would mark Obama’s failure. To date, Obama has not taken Gaddafi’s advice that centered on remaining hands off on the coerced birth of a lost cause Palestinian state.
Bin Laden is not alone in disbelief over anything Obama has to say to anyone. There is no Arab leader who actually believes anything Obama says. (The West can claim monopoly on those fools.) That is not to say that all Arab leaders dislike Obama, though they will ridicule him behind his back in good form.

I have no concern that Barry is a Muslim, Christian or whatever bigoted church he attended for twenty years without him supposedly knowing what was going on. He is a self-worshiper along with the all the other pathetic souls that register him as a god. There is no room on his personal altar for anything else….and the American people elected this POTUS.

Um, try google, I never even mentioned the Luo (though commenters on my site did as did FOX News/Washington Examiner journalist Bill Sammon, whom I quoted. Sorry, baldilocks, but you need to up that eyeglasses prescription. I can’t “rectract” [sic] or apologize for something I never said.

Ah, lolwut, an Iranian commenter whom I was forced to ban on my site. Glad you’ve found a place where you are certainly more suited.

According to Islamic law, he’s a Muslim. And the Muslim world sees him that way. Apparently, he’s now finally admitting he’s “in touch” with and owning that side and milking it for his visit this week.
