Obama Index Page, especially
if you arrived here by using a search engine.
Barack Obama has been elected to the office of US President. Long before election
day, a lot of important questions came up. Because so much is at stake,
these questions still merit further consideration.
On this page, some of the questions people ask about Senator Obama:
Mr. Obama claims to be a Christian, but he supports unlimited abortion on demand, as well as special
rights and privileges for homosexuals. It is impossible to play on both sides of this fence.
The Bible makes it very clear that Christianity is incompatible with both abortion and homosexuality.
Barack Obama's web site says that he "is a
committed Christian." So it is only natural to wonder: Where does Senator Obama go to church, now
that he has split with the TUCC?
Quoting from an article in Newsweek: "After
he began his run for the U.S. Senate, he says, the family sometimes didn't go to Trinity for months at a
time. The girls have not attended Sunday school." Is that the behavior of a "committed Christian?"
Can Obama Call
Himself a Christian? A mini debate has exploded on several blogs over whether President-elect
Barack Obama can call himself a Christian. If you're just catching up, first read this 2004 interview
with Obama.
The
Christian Case Against Barack Obama. After examining the material it becomes clear that Barack
Obama's words and his deeds do not reflect biblical Christianity. ... The Christian case against Barack
Obama is clear. No believing Christian should vote for Barack Obama on November 4.
Obama's Views Not Consistent With
Christianity, Conservative Says. Americans should question Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) commitment
to Christianity based on his "disregard" for unborn life, well-known black conservative author and activist
Star Parker said. "Based on his disregard and disrespect for human life, we should question his
insistence that he's a Christian. It is inconsistent with the biblical world view to think that not
only is abortion okay, but he goes so far as to support partial-birth abortion," Parker told CNSNews.com in
an interview.
The Prophet Obama, Global Leader of Godless
Leftism. Obama believes in the god of Marx. He believes, as well, that he is the great
prophet of this secular religion. People in less sophisticated areas of our nation may cling to the
God of the Bible, but Obama, like other European Leftists, knows that Das Kapital is the only Holy Scripture
which is eternally and immutably true. Obama has studied the writings of fanatical monks like Saul
Alinsky, and taken to heart their message of winning at all cost.
Obama's Religious
Ruse: 'I've Always Been a Christian'. Barack Obama insists that he is a "devout Christian" of
"deep faith," and Big Media echoes his claim without question. Even some critics hesitate to challenge
the validity of that claim. The ruse that he is a Christian must be exposed for what it really is:
Obama's cloak to conceal that he is a Marxist from a Muslim background, for which he holds widespread support
in the Islamic world. This series of three articles will analyze his exploitation of Christian rhetoric
to serve the subterfuge.
Fully invested in your
misery. Obama seems happier these days. It is almost as if the disembodied spirit of his
mentor, Saul Alinsky, is watching and smiling. Americans are suffering. Losses in the stock market,
panic in the financial market, pain at the gas pump and in the grocery -- all these miseries of average
Americans are a delicious narcotic to socialists like Barack Obama. What was the historic maxim of the
Left? "The worse, the better." Alinsky said that if there was an afterlife, "I will unreservedly
choose to go to hell." This is the man whose mind guides Obama's thoughts.
Obama: Premature Babies Aren't
People. On the federal level a similar bill passed 98-0 garnering a yea vote from pro-abortion
stalwart Barbara Boxer. But back in Illinois, Barack Obama had problems with this type of legislation.
He spoke on the floor of the Illinois Senate in opposition to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act —
in fact, he was the only senator to do so. The following year he spoke against the born alive bill again.
As a rabid proponent of legalized abortion, Obama voted against the bill or worked for its defeat on three
separate occasions.
Obama Lied About His Abortion Record.
The New York Sun reported that Obama's campaign has admitted that the senator voted against giving medical
care to babies born alive after an abortion attempt — a fact that the campaign originally dismissed
as a "smear." The reality behind Obama's rhetoric is that he worked against efforts to ban the gruesome
practice of leaving babies who survived failed abortions to die.
A
Catholic Case Against Barack. Thrice in the Illinois legislature, Obama helped block a bill that
was designed solely to protect the life of infants already born, and outside the womb, who had miraculously
survived the attempt to kill them during an abortion. Thrice, Obama voted to let doctors and nurses
allow these tiny human beings die of neglect and be tossed out with the medical waste. How can a man
who purports to be a Christian justify this?
Obama
Lied About Abortion Record. Newly discovered documents from the Illinois state archives prove
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has lied about his opposition to legislation requiring health
officials to provide care to babies who survived abortion as an Illinois state senator. … Now there's
documentation showing Obama did vote against a version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that contained
language to protect abortion rights identical to the bill that passed 98-0 in the U.S. Senate.
Influential Evangelical
Lobby Attacks Obama's Christian Credentials. [Scroll down] Obama's progressivism, however,
leads him to conclusions that are morally untenable, if not reprehensible, to Evangelicals and other
traditionalist Christians. He approves of same-sex romantic and sexual relationships, as do his
church, his pastor and his denomination. He supports abortion for any reason, by any method, at any
stage of pregnancy including during the birth process. In an E-mail under his wife Michelle's signature,
his campaign for US Senate championed Roe v. Wade and partial-birth abortion. In 2002 as an
Illinois legislator, Obama even voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected
babies that survived late-term abortion.
Obama's Stealth Pro-Abortion
Stance: In response to a Pennsylvania voter's question about elementary school sex education, Obama said:
"Look, I got two daughters — nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values
and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." This makes two things clear.
First, Senator Obama supports abortion on demand — even "convenience" abortions — for minors, including
his own daughters; and second, Obama considers babies a "punishment" he'd rather spare his daughters, even if those
daughters have to abort Obama's own unborn grandchildren to avoid that particular "punishment." That unguardedly
candid public statement is political dynamite — or it would be, if the media had reported on it.
Obama's Christian
Creds Vs. Abortion and Infanticide: This, "I don't want them punished with a baby," is
perhaps the most self-revelatory statement Barack Obama has uttered in public since he began his campaign
for the Presidency. … Because it goes to the personal. It goes to the extent of wholehearted approval of
killing one's own grandchildren if they happen to have been conceived inconveniently.
NARAL Pro-Choice America
backs Obama. Democrat Barack Obama has won the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice America, a leading
abortion rights advocacy organization that has supported rival Hillary Rodham Clinton throughout her political
career. The organization announced the endorsement of its political action committee on Wednesday [5/14/2008].
The Gospel According to Obama: As
the saying goes, faith without works is dead. Obama's sanctimonious chatter about religion only underscores
how little he understands about how those concepts are viewed by the most faith-conscious Americans, for whom
actions will speak louder than words alone.
NARAL Pro-Choice Obama: One
reason that the national board of NARAL, the pro-abortion lobbying organization, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, and encouraged
its state membership to do the same, was a series of behind the scenes conversations between the Obama campaign and NARAL.
"The message was, get on board or risk losing influence," says an Obama strategist. "We needed one of these [feminist
or pro-abortion] groups to step up and walk away from Hillary.
Barack Obama, Man of Faith.
Obama the Christian is a devout believer in unlimited abortion rights. He denies the existence of Hell.
He came to Christianity through social organizing with activist religious [people]. His devout Christianity
derives from the secular humanist "values" his atheist mother imbued him with. He believes, with all his
heart, in the separation of church and state — except when he campaigns in black churches, in violation of that
separation, and in violation of the tax code. Obama wears his religion on his sleeve in black churches,
but in dealing with the mainstream media, attacks the same behavior, at least as far as white, conservative
Christians are concerned.
It's Barack,
Like It or Not. Republicans will be prepared to use Obama's history of uncompromising, extreme
liberalism to undermine his claim to be a bipartisan uniter. He'll have difficulty, for example,
explaining away his radical and heartless position supporting partial-birth abortion and, some argue,
even certain cases of infanticide.
Infanticide candidate for president.
On abortion, Obama is an extremist. He has opposed the Supreme Court decision that finally upheld the
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act against that form of infanticide. Most startlingly, for a professed humanist,
Obama — in the Illinois Senate — also voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
I have reported on several of those cases when, before the abortion was completed, an alive infant was suddenly
in the room. It was disposed of as a horrified nurse who was not necessarily pro-life followed the doctors'
orders to put the baby in a pail or otherwise get rid of the child.
Obama:
The Sermon on the Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at
Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support
for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized
abortion does not make him "less Christian."
Obama's
Bible Defense of Same-Sex Unions Wrong, Experts Say. Kiera McCaffrey, director of communications
for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said it is a mistake for Obama to look to the Bible as
a playbook for his political aspirations. "It seems pretty bogus using (the Bible) to justify civil
unions," McCaffrey told Cybercast News Service. "He should be using secular reasons to back it up.
"He can search the whole Bible and not find anything that justifies gay marriage or same-sex unions," she said.
Media silent on Obama's controversial
interpretation of scripture. Senator Obama (D-Illinois) boldly declared in a campaign speech
recently that states should legalize "same-sex unions" for homosexuals. "If people find that controversial
then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount," says Obama. "Which I think is, in my mind, for
my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans." Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Media
Institute, says the major television networks and most major newspapers did not report on Obama's remarks, which
Knight says amount to a severe distortion of scripture.
Why
Does Obama Hate Marriage?. Specifically Barack Obama wishes to pass "ENDA" the employment
non-discrimination act. Or so it's called. What it really consists of is the most diabolical way
ever conceived to punish every voice in America, who under present law, have every right, to speak to their
houses of worship, family, and spouse as to the scientific, mental health, and diseased ridden drawbacks of
engaging in homosexual behavior. ... ENDA would directly challenge and seek to limit religious expression,
doctrine, theology, and practice. Senator Barack Obama knows this, and supports it with all his might.
Barack
Hussein Obama Refused: "I Did Not Want To Concede". As an Illinois state senator, Barack
Hussein Obama refused to support legislation to protect babies that survived late-term abortions, claiming "I
did not want to concede." To what was Obama referring? His statement was in reference to babies that
were fully outside their mothers' wombs. Thus, Obama did not want to concede the fact that babies who
survived a late term abortion were in fact "persons." He was the only senator of the Democrat Party to
speak against baby protection legislation. He was the only legislator from either side of the political
isle that took his position.
Obama
is no moderate: His radical position on 'abortion' after birth. [Scroll down] So,
what are we to make of Obama's votes against protecting the right to life for living babies who have survived
attempted abortions? Such babies are sometimes born alive as a result of late-term induced labor
abortions, often sought when babies are believed (sometimes in error) to have genetic defects such as Down
syndrome. Earlier this decade, such living, breathing, babies who survived labor were
"shelved" — left to die and disposed of with other medical waste, or were "aborted" —
killed outside the womb. The practice was ultimately banned by unanimous Congressional votes, as even
the most pro-abortion Senate Democrats — including every defender of partial-birth
abortion — recognized that killing these breathing babies is no longer abortion in any real
sense. It crosses the line; it is infanticide. Yet, incredibly, Obama repeatedly worked to
deny these living babies any right to life.
Small Church's Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy.
The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C. Pastor
Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a
new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God. It reads: "Obama, Osama, hmm, are they
brothers?" Byrd said that the message wasn't meant to be racial or political. "It's simply to cause
people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not
believe in Jesus Christ," he said.
The Audacity of Death:
According to Barack Obama, Gianna Jessen shouldn't exist. Miss Jessen is an exquisite example of what
antiabortion advocates call a "survivor." Well into her third trimester of pregnancy, Gianna's biological
mother was injected with a saline solution intended to induce a chemical abortion at a Los Angeles County abortion
center. Eighteen hours later, and precious minutes before the abortionist's arrival, Gianna emerged.
Premature and with severe injuries that resulted in cerebral palsy. But alive. Had the abortionist
been present at her birth, Gianna would have been killed, perhaps by suffocation. … As an Illinois state
senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as "persons" babies who survive late-term abortions.
Reaction to Obama — babies are God's
gift, not a 'punishment'. Pro-life advocate Wendy Wright says presidential candidate Barak Obama's recent
comment that he wouldn't want his daughters to be "punished with a baby" reveals much about where the Democrat stands on
the issue of the sanctity of all human life — and shows his true persona.
The Editor says...
Senator Obama's words directly contradict the Bible, which says,
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
When
Will We Admit the Truth About Barack Obama? Notice he mentioned "religion" in the same breath
as "guns" and "antipathy to people," sandwiched right in between the two. It's hard to escape the
conclusion that he draws an equivalency among those things, which speaks volumes. If you're a person of
faith, you understand that we're supposed to cling to religion. After all, if you are serious about your
faith, you must believe it is the Truth and that it is God's will that you should practice it. And why
wouldn't you have the Truth at the center of your life? The only kind of person who wouldn't have this
perspective is one who has little or no faith.
Obama Nation dot com: Obama claims to stand for justice
but neglects to try to stop abortion. The purpose of this website is to expose the hypocrisy of
Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. For the sake of our nation and our progeny, Sen. Barack
Hussein Obama must not become President of the United States.
Obama Is No Joshua.
Obama can call himself anything he likes, but there is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian and Obama
doesn't meet that requirement. One cannot deny central tenets of the Christian faith, including the deity and
uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and Man and be a Christian. Such people do have a label
applied to them in Scripture. They are called "false prophets."
Carter,
Obama, and the Evangelicals. [Obama's] strategy is clear — talk selectively about
elements of the Biblical message that resonate with everyone (help those hurting and in need — DUH),
while ignoring other vital aspects of scripture — things like righteousness and that "minor"
matter of individual salvation. … But quoting stuff out of context is commonplace among politicians and
spin-doctors. Why is this kind of thing effective with people who should know better — those
who profess to believe the Bible and follow Jesus?
Obama
Addresses His Faith. Of the two presumptive nominees for president, Obama has been far more outspoken about
his religious beliefs than Sen. John McCain. Evangelical Christian leaders have remained skeptical, however, that
Obama's faith comports with their own, especially given his support for gay and abortion rights.
Obama:
committed to doing "the Lord's work". Sen. Barack Obama declared Saturday [7/5/2008] to a roaring crowd of religious
African-Americans at the America's Center that they should have no doubt of his commitment to his Christian faith, his nation or
his political principles.
The Editor says...
First of all, why does the great post-racial unifier make fund-raising speeches in all-black churches? Second, if Senator McCain had
said he was just doing "the Lord's work", the press would have responded with a week of mocking derision. And
finally, if Mr. Obama is a Christian, why does his voting record look like that of a baby-killing Marxist?
Obama says America is 'no longer
Christian'. Some have been taking issue with largely unnoticed comments made last year by Sen.
Barack Obama declaring the U.S. is "no longer a Christian nation" but is also a nation of others, including
Muslims and nonbelievers. The comments have been recently recirculating on Internet blogs. "Whatever
we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation,
a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," Obama said during a
June 2007 speech available on YouTube.
A
Closer Look At Saddleback, Obama's Faith. The Obama campaign document titled "Unfit for
Publication" focuses on whether Mr. Obama was in Rev. Jeremiah "God d--- America" Wright's church on one
specific day during one of Rev. Wright's anti-America rants, and doesn't explain why Mr. Obama was there
sopping up anti-America bigotry and racism for 20 years. It doesn't explain why someone hearing
constant anti-American propaganda wouldn't immediately leave the church.
Not that I really care all that much, but...
Barack Obama's web site says that he "is a
committed Christian." So, just out of curiosity, where does Senator Obama go to church, now that he has
split with the TUCC?
Obama Re-invents his Trinity
Church History. He did not indicate any scheduling problems or absences back in 2004, no scapegoating of his
daughter. Now he has to deal with Pastor Wright controversy and he just dreams up a different
history -- and Newsweek helps him along.
Editor's note:
Quoting from the article
in Newsweek: "After he began his run for the
U.S. Senate, he says, the family sometimes didn't go to Trinity for months at a time. The girls have
not attended Sunday school." Is that the behavior of a "committed Christian?"
Is Obama a Muslim?
As I have pointed out elsewhere, Democrats often have
difficulty telling the truth when there is a big political prize at stake. Or any other time. For
example, two of the best known "strangers to the truth" are Bill and
Hillary Clinton. ("It depends upon what the
meaning of the word 'is' is.") Now we have a candidate for the presidency who, besides being a man with
a mysteriously blank record in public office, is supported by throngs of young people who are enjoy his warm
and fuzzy speeches without ever analyzing what he says, or doesn't say. One thing Mr. Obama doesn't talk
about in his speeches is his Muslim background. Apparently he thinks we won't notice. This might
have worked 20 years ago, but now the internet makes it possible to recover information from once thought
to have been thrown down the memory hole. Just ask Senators John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or Robert Byrd.
Or John McCain, for that matter.
Is it possible that Senator Obama is intentionally, consciously lying about his status as a Muslim? Spend
five minutes on the internet and you'll discover that the Koran says it is a virtue to lie to infidels in
order to deceive them and defeat them in
war.* Osama Bin Laden
declared a holy war on the U.S. years ago.*.
So for the duration of the war, it is a mistake to believe anything a Muslim says. There's a word for
this blatant dishonesty — Al-taqiyya.
Is it hard to imagine that Barack Obama really is a Muslim? We know him by the company he keeps, and if he
shares the views of his wife and his pastor, he is a man who sees America as a villain and a global bully.
Those views would make perfect sense if it turns out that he is in fact a Muslim.
If Barack H. Obama was raised as a Muslim, and his father, step-father and siblings are all Muslims,
then he is a Muslim until he publicly renounces any association with Islam. And with the terrorism threat
level already at "Elevated" he would probably put himself in jeopardy if he made a very public
repudiation of Islam. Apostasy is not something the Muslims take lightly. It would be better
(safer) for him to take his chances with the voters, and keep distracting them with an assortment of
spectacular campaign promises.
Many people believe that this is a ludicrous suggestion because there has been no mention of this idea
on television news programs. But the news media have been very friendly toward Obama,
as pointed out in a subsection above.
And in case you haven't noticed, there are a lot
of other things that the news media haven't reported.
Obama's religion: On March 14th,
2007, the Obama Campaign told the LA Times that Obama was not a "practicing Muslim." But Muslims do not see
practice as key. For them, that Obama was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further,
all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed
to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.
Barack Obama and Slavery:
Many people seem to the names "Barack" and "Obama" are African names. They are not. Baraq [Barack]
was the name of the winged horse-like creature that took Mohammed to Paradise in the Night Journey. Baraq
can also mean God's blessing. Obama is Swahili for Osama, who was one of Mohammed's chief warriors.
Osama also means lion. Hussein reminds some Americans of Saddam Hussein, and Obama's supporters get upset
if it is used. Hussein was the name of Mohammed's grandson. So Obama's entire name is based upon
Islamic mythology and African conquest. Barack Hussein Obama means [Allah's blessing] [Mohammed's
grandson] [One of Mohammed's finest warriors].
Barack
Obama's Muslim Childhood: Obama asserted in December, "I've always been a Christian," and he has
adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather
on my father's side came from that country [Kenya]. But I've never practiced Islam." … "Always" and
"never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American
press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen
as a Muslim.
Why Islamists Cheer For
Obama: Earlier this month, Libya's strongman Muammar Khadafi gave an endorsement speech in which
he called Barack Obama a "brother" and expressed his hope that he will "change America from evil to good and
that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other people, especially the Arabs."
A Messiah Manufactured by Marxism.
Time is closing in on the 11th hour of Election '08 but the search for the real Obama is still on. If
Obama steps out of the fog through the scavenger hunt for his birth certificate and unanswered questions
about his alliance to Islam into the Oval office, he will usher in a new socialist America. Concerns
about Obama, the closet Muslim, fit right in with Obama, the Marxist. Marxists, always difficult to
pin down, work hand in hand with radical Islam.
The Evolution of Slick Barry: Barack Obama's campaign said
he never practiced Islam, and has never been a Muslim. However, the LA Times found that Obama was
registered as a Muslim at both private and public schools he attended, and he also studied at his local
Islamic center. His campaign backtracked and confirmed those facts after the LA Times reported them.
People see in Obama
what they want to see — that's a blessing and a curse. Obama is not a Muslim. Nonetheless,
according to a recent Pew research survey, 12% of Americans still believe that he is. Another 10% say they
have "heard different things". This is why the New Yorker cartoon portraying Obama as a flag-burning terrorist
wasn't that funny. For satire to work, it has to be edgy. It fails when it misjudges where the
edge is. When, according to another survey, one in five Democrats with a negative opinion of Obama
believes he is a Muslim, we are not talking isolated pockets but mainstream public opinion.
Republican
Congressman Stands By Obama Comments; McCain Disavows Him. Republican
Representative Steve King of Iowa stood by his controversial comments on Saturday [3/8/2008]
that if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president that Muslim extremists would be
jubilant. … "I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists,
the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in
greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11, because they will declare victory in this war
on terror," King was quoted as saying by The Daily Reporter in Spencer, Iowa.
Letter from Barack Obama on His
Muslim Heritage: "My father was a Muslim and although I did not know him well
the religion of my father and his family was always something I had an interest in. This
interest became more intense when my mother married an Indonesian Muslim man and as a small
child I lived in Indonesia and attended school alongside Muslim pupils. … This is what
I will bring to the office of the Presidency of the United States. I will deal with
Muslims from a position of familiarity and respect and at this time in the history of our
nation that is something sorely needed.
Our First Muslim President.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday [3/15/2007] that Barack Obama's campaign seems to be modifying its earlier
affirmation that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian
who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago." In a statement to The Times on Wednesday, the
campaign offered slightly different wording, saying: "Obama has never been a practicing Muslim."
Hillary's team has questions about
Obama's Muslim background. Are the American people ready for an elected president who was
educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage? This is
the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.
Obama campaign
hires Muslim liaison. Obama's campaign has created a Muslim liaison, according to two sources familiar with
the move. … The job is complicated by the fact that Obama has been forced repeatedly to deny that he is Muslim, a
situation that grates on some Muslim-Americans.
Tracking Down Obama in
Indonesia: I have now spent over twenty years of my life here in Southeast Asia, am well versed with
the culture and speak the language. With regards to Obama's Indonesian past, I now find myself intrigued to
find out more about Obama and his life in Indonesia. Part 2Part 3
Darura: "Darura" in Arabic means
"necessity." The Arabs and Muslims understand this idea. "Necessity" can justify even violating explicit
prohibitions. You may, if starving, eat pork, according to some. You may, if you need to protect the
faith, lie to Infidels — lie about Islam itself, lie about your own belief in Islam.
al-Taqiyya: The word "al-Taqiyya" literally
means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at
a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury."
A one-word translation would be "Dissimulation."
The Art of Al-taqiyya:
Al-taqiyya is a word used for the practice of Muslims blatantly lying to non-Muslims. Muslims consider the act
of Al-taqiyya or lying to non-Muslims to be a good work. Especially if it helps support the war against the
infidel. In case you've forgotten, you are the infidel, so am I, so is each and every American who is not
muslim.
Obama Steers
Clear of Michigan Muslims He May Need to Win State. Muslim- and Arab-Americans represent
4 percent of the vote in Michigan, a battleground in this year's election. Yet Obama, who has
held 13 events in the state during the presidential campaign, hasn't visited a mosque or met with
Muslim leaders.
LA Times' Glowing Coverage Of Obama In Full Throttle.
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have
been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his
prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam. Obama attended two schools in
Indonesia and in both he was enrolled as a Muslim — but — was he a practicing Muslim? The
evidence seems to show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo were devout Muslims themselves and they raised their
son as such.
Barack Obama's Muslim
religion — again. So why won't Barry just fess up (he was known as Barry Soetoro in
Indonesia) and admit he was a Muslim and let the truth wash away his veneer of lies? No one will hate him for
it. No one really cares except his campaign operation. And him. But the longer he keeps denying
the truth about his past the more people will remain interested.
Opposing viewpoint: Poll: 1 in 10
Get Obama's Religion Wrong. One in 10 voters believes Barack Obama is Muslim, a mistaken
impression that lingers across party lines, a poll showed Wednesday. Fourteen percent of Republicans,
10 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of independents mistakenly think he is Muslim, according to
a survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
The Editor says...
Not so fast. What if they are not mistaken? Maybe 1 out of 10 are right!
READ THIS: Is Barack Obama a Muslim wolf in
Christian wool? The glib handling of criticism of his relationship with the anti-American and
anti-Israel Reverend James Wright may have bought him a little time. But the legacy of dissimulation
about his long-concealed identity is about to come crashing down around the ears of Barack Hussein Obama,
courtesy of the assembled testimony of his family, friends, classmates and teachers. The accumulated
research indicates that Obama was in his childhood a devout Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the step-son
of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake ("Hussein") of a devout Muslim.
Obama and apostasy
from Islam: Barack Obama was born to Muslim father, married to an American atheist. His
father's religion is the reason both his first and middle names, Barack and Hussein, are Islamic in origin.
According to Islamic scripture, one born to a Muslim father is a Muslim. Forever. Because according
to Muslim law and tradition, the penalty for leaving the faith is death. Today, Barack Obama proclaims his
adherence to the Christian faith. This would seem to make him a potential target for death, according to
at least the more militant adherents of Sharia law. Apostasy is a capital offense in several Muslim
countries.
Can a
past of Islam change the path to president for Obama? Although Sen. Barack Obama is a Christian,
his childhood and family connections to Islam are beginning to complicate his presidential ambitions.
The Illinois Democrat spent much of last week refuting unfounded reports that he had been educated in a
madrassa, or radical Islamic school, when he lived in Indonesia as a boy. "The Indonesian school
Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa," said a statement
put out by the senator's staff.
Also waiting on a nearby sidetrack... Farrakhan:
Stick With Obama. The issue arose Sunday [2/24/2008], when Farrakhan praised Obama
before a large Nation of Islam gathering, even comparing him to the religion's founder, Wallace D.
Fard Muhammad, who Farrakhan claims also had a white mother and black father. "A black man
with a white mother became a savior to us," Farrakhan said Sunday. "A black man with a white
mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall." The Obama campaign moved
quickly to distance itself from Farrakhan.
Obama's
Truthiness About Farrakhan: The question was about Farrakhan as a package deal. Did
Obama accept his support? Did Obama reject his support? So far, no answer. And this was
incredible. Before a national audience, Obama, whose very candidacy has come to symbolize a promise of
"post-racial" "unity" in America, failed to reject the support of arguably the most racist and divisive
figure in America.
Terrorist
Fundraisers for Obama. Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based
Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising
and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest
cause — Barack Obama for President. El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama's
official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate.
President
Apostate? As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it
is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he
renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother's Christian background
is irrelevant. ... At the very least, that would complicate the security planning of state visits by President
Obama to Muslim countries, because the very act of protecting him would be sinful for Islamic security guards.
This article was apparently written by a Muslim. Barack Obama — Muslim apostate?
Osama bin Laden must be chuckling in his safe house. After all, the 2008 campaign could very well give Al Qaeda
the ultimate propaganda tool: President Barack Hussein Obama, Muslim apostate. The fact that Senator
Obama — the son of a Muslim father — insists he was never a Muslim before becoming Christian is
irrelevant to bin Laden. In bin Laden's eyes, Obama is a murtad fitri, the worst type of
apostate, because he was blessed by Allah to be born into the true faith of Islam.
Obama Wore Muslim Garb During Kenya
Trip. The resident "experts" at Free Republic are pronouncing this a photoshopped fake. But, oddly enough,
there are photographs of Mr. Obama during his (taxpayer funded) trip to Kenya in August 2006, where he is wearing what
would appear to be the same red shirt, khaki pants and wristwatch.
Update: Obama In Muslim Garb Is An AP
Photograph. A photograph circulating in the Internet of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama dressed in traditional
local garments during a visit to Kenya in 2006 is causing a dustup in the presidential campaign over what constitutes a
smear. The Associated Press photograph portrays Obama wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe presented to
him by elders in Wajir, in northeastern Kenya.
Please note this much earlier article: WHO provides efforts to rehabilitate Ethiopian people.
U.S. Senator Barack Obama, right, is dressed as a Somali Elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan, left, during his visit to Wajir, a rural
area in northeastern Kenya, near the borders with Somalia and Ethiopia. The area is at the epicenter of a severe drought that
has hit the Horn of Africa region, after erratic and insufficient rains during the April-June season.
Obama
and the giant blogosphere conspiracy. His father was a Muslim, as was his stepfather. His
grandfather was a Muslim convert. His wider family appear to have been largely devout Muslims. Yes,
we only know about Obama's early years as a Muslim; and yes, twenty years ago he became a Christian. The
issue, however, is why he has been less than candid about his early background and his family. Indeed,
he appears to have actively deceived the public about it. That is why the blogosphere is so exercised
about it.
The Editor says...
Personally, I'm not convinced that "twenty years ago he became a Christian" if the only evidence
of his conversion is that he joined Jeremiah Wright's institute of victimology.
Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a
Muslim. Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to
refer, because they have no doubt — contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate
was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given. As the Jerusalem Post reports, "Barack Obama's half brother
Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim
background.
Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam.
All this matters, for if Obama once was a Muslim, he is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an
ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the United States,
this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.
In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his step-father in
a mosque. This precisely substantiates my statement that he "for some years had a reasonably Muslim
upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father."
Obama anti-smear site: 'He was never
a Muslim'. One of the main issues addressed by Obama's "Fight the Smears" site is the contention
the Illinois senators was once a Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a
Muslim, and is a committed Christian," states the site. But as WND reported, public records in Indonesia
listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama
was once a mosque-attending Muslim.
Obama takes on the Great Global Blogosphere Conspiracy.
[Scroll down] We are entitled therefore to ask whether the Muslim world supports him because it believes he is still a
Muslim. We are entitled to ask precisely when he stopped being a Muslim, and why. Did Obama embrace Christianity
as a tactical manoeuvre to get himself elected? Why indeed has he dissembled about his family background if not for that
end? These multiple known deceptions by someone who may become President of the United States are deeply alarming.
Bocah Negro Gemuk Itu Rajin Ke Mushala.
Barry dulu memang beragama Islam. Ayah kandungnya, Barack Husein Obama adalah seorang muslim ahli
ekonomi asal Kenya. Sebelum menikah dengan Ann Dunham, Husein Obama telah menikah dengan orang Kenya
dan mendapat keturunan tujuh anak. Semua saudara sebapak Barry ini beragama Islam.
Translation:
"Barry was previously quite religious Islam. His birth father, Barack Husein Obama was the Muslim
economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Husein Obama married Kenyans and produced seven
children. All the relatives a Barry's father were religious Islam."
Obama seen as a Muslim overseas.
Americans believe that Barack Obama has every right to become a Christian as an adult and proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ.
Americans understand that true religious identity depends on the faith one accepts. But we deceive ourselves if we
believe the rest of the world thinks this way. The Muslim world sees it differently. A baby born to a Muslim
father is a Muslim. One who leaves Islam for another faith is an apostate. It's scriptural.
Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood: As
Barack Obama's candidacy comes under increasing scrutiny, his account of his religious upbringing deserves
careful attention for what it tells us about the candidate's integrity. Obama asserted in December,
"I've always been a Christian," and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only
connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father's side came from that country [Kenya].
But I've never practiced Islam." … "Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation.
Opposing viewpoint — from Al-Jazeera: Obama's "Muslim identity" — An asset for
Iraq exit strategy. Yes, Barak Obama is not a Muslim. On the contrary, he has repeatedly
asserted that he is a Christian in response to his opponents' attempts to portray him as a Muslim (hence kind
of a Manchurian candidate for Muslims or as a terrorist sympathizer). … Having so far quieted such rumors
of his putative Muslim identity, it would appear that there is no chance that Obama will own up to any
aspect of his Muslim heritage or exposure to Muslim religion, culture and people.
Barack Obama's Muslim
outreach director quits. An attorney who volunteered to help Barack Obama improve his
relationship with Muslim and Arab-Americans has resigned from the campaign amid questions about his connection
to a fundamentalist imam. Mazen Asbahi started as the campaign's outreach coordinator on July 26,
and he resigned in a letter to the campaign Monday [8/4/2008].
Obama's Muslim
Affairs Advisor Resigns. Barack Obama's Muslim Affairs adviser, Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi,
has resigned after an internet newsletter wrote about his stint on the board of an Islamic investment fund
and his involvement in various Islamic groups.
'Muslim bashers'
hit for resignation. America's largest Islamic civil liberties group on Wednesday defended
Sen. Barack Obama after the Democratic presidential candidate's Muslim-outreach coordinator resigned because
of a brief association with a suspected Muslim extremist.
Obama's
Islamist Problem: The question is why would Barak Obama's campaign — which has
prevented Muslim women wearing headcoverings from being in the background of photographs with
the candidate and which recently fired a Muslim-outreach coordinator who had ties to another
unindicted HLF co-conspirator — allow itself to be put in such company? Presumably, the
response will be one heard from the Bush administration: ISNA is a large, "mainstream"
Muslim-American organization that is an appropriate vehicle for outreach to that community.
Obama's
Muslim Connection Won't Go Away. Obama has denied he is a Muslim or ever was a practicing
Muslim. The basis of the "rumor" germinates with Obama's father, who was a Muslim, though Obama
claims he was non-practicing. Adding to the mix is Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, which
is an Arabic name. ... Reports dating back as far as early 2007 held that Obama was educated at a radical
Islamic school in Indonesia. Press accounts revealed that in fact, Obama first attended a Catholic
school for almost three years. However, his mother registered him in the school as a Muslim.
Obama
Adviser Meets With Syria. Tony Badran, an expert on Lebanon and Syria for the Defense of
Democracies, was not surprised [Daniel] Kurtzer was meeting with the Syrians. He likened the meeting to
other informal lobbying efforts done on Syria's behalf. "It's not a secret that the Syrians are openly
banking on Barack Obama," Badran told the Sun.
Top 5 Pitfalls
for Citizen O: Die-hard Democrats love the idea that their candidate is so global that he's the very
embodiment of America's melting pot. But so varied are Obama's roots that questions persist about whether he
is Muslim and if he's really even American.
I would never say 'my Buddhist faith'. I
am a Christian. If I were in an interview or otherwise, I would never even think of saying "my Buddhist faith"
or "my New Age faith" or "my Episcopalian faith." I am none of these. I have never intended to be one of
these. I never plan on being one of these. I have never thought of myself under these labels.
Therefore, I would never let slip out of lips any such confession. Yet B. Hussein did just that. He
said "my Muslim faith."
Obama's verbal
slip fuels his critics. Sen. Barack Obama's foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue,
when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, "my Muslim faith."
The three words — immediately corrected — were during an exchange with ABC's George Stephanopoulos
on "This Week," when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
In stunning slip on national TV, Obama
refers to "my muslim faith". In one of the most astonishing gaffes in American political history,
in a national televised interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulus, Democratic presidential candidate Barack
Hussein Obama referred to "my muslim faith," confirming what researchers and political opponents have been
claiming. While Stephanopoulus several seconds later tried to correct him, saying "Christian faith," it
was too late. The damage was done.
Obama's Childhood: Praying to
Saints and Bowing in Mosques. In his childhood, Obama was registered as a Muslim and bowed
toward a mosque on Fridays while praying to a Catholic saint on other days, according to a 2007 report in
The Los Angeles Times. Obama's chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, was careful in an earlier statement to
emphasize that he was raised in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother.
Barack
Obama through Muslim Eyes: How do Muslims see Barack Hussein Obama? They have three
choices: either as he presents himself — someone who has "never been a Muslim" and has "always
been a Christian"; or as a fellow Muslim; or as an apostate from Islam. Reports suggests that while
Americans generally view the Democratic candidate having had no religion before converting at Reverend
Jeremiah Wrights's hands at age 27, Muslims the world over rarely see him as Christian but usually as
either Muslim or ex-Muslim.
Strange
case of Obama birth record. The question is: Where there's smoke is there fire, or just
a smokescreen? Barack Obama said to George Stephanopoulos, "John McCain has not talked about my Muslim
faith..." on ABC's "This Week." The Obamas have an odd practice of not giving their daughters birthday
gifts — birthday gifts are forbidden under Shariah law. Mr. Obama is not a stupid man. He misspoke
and said there are 57 American states. There are 57 states in the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Is Obama a natural born citizen?
This is a valid concern, since Mr. Obama is constitutionally disqualified from the
presidency if he was born in Canada, Kenya or elsewhere, as some suspect.
Obama running in violation of
US election law. Barack Obama is not legally a US natural-born citizen according
to the law on the books at the time of his birth; a law that was in effect between December 24,
1952 and November 13, 1986, when the law was changed. However, the new law did not preempt
the former law in the cases of those born between the above listed dates when the old law was in
effect. Therefore, Senator Obama may very well be disqualified as the Democratic candidate
in the upcoming Presidential campaign.
Obama
Could Debunk Some Rumors By Releasing His Birth Certificate. Reporters have asked for it and been
denied, and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public. ... There are several (unlikely) rumors
circulating regarding Obama's birth certificate. Rumor one: Obama was born in Kenya.
Is Obama's candidacy constitutional?
Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because
of the secrecy over his birth certificate and the requirement presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.
Jim Geraghty, reporting on the Campaign Spot, a National Review blog, cited the "unlikely" but still
circulating rumor that Obama was born not within the United States, but elsewhere, possibly Kenya.
Obama should reconsider birth certificate proof.
According to WorldNetDaily, "Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Sen. Barack
Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because of the secrecy over his birth
certificate and the requirement presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.
Obama campaign claims suspect "birth
certificate" as genuine item. Some who have examined that image in high resolution claim
inconsistencies and irregularities which suggest that the purported document is a forgery. Its high
profile use by the campaign, they claim, suggests an attempt to conceal the truth of Obama's birth
circumstances and citizenship qualifications from the American people.
Unstamped certificate suggests Obama may
not be "natural born" US citizen. The "birth certificate" claimed by the Barack Obama campaign
is not certified as authentic and appears to be a photoshopped fake. The image, purporting to come from
the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two
weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the
required features of a certified birth document — features that Obama's purported "birth certificate"
clearly lack.
Obama's
Certification of Live Birth Found and Posted at Daily Kos. All of the information
is what we have been told before — name, birth date, etc. His mother's race is listed
as "Caucasian," his father as "African." No middle name of Muhammad, no first name
of "Barry," no last name of "Dunham." He's listed as "Barack Hussein Obama II," not "Jr."
The Editor says...
The document shown at Daily Kos is not the original — it is supposedly a certified copy printed very
recently. It doesn't show any signs of having been folded and put in an envelope. It's just a
little too crisp and new to avoid accusations that it's a Photoshop fake instead of an authentic certificate.
(See the recent document here.)
Remember, Democrats are not above using "fake but accurate"
documents to accomplish their goals. I'd like to see the original, please.
As Obama stonewalls on uncertified birth
certificate, official doubts mount. So where is that birth certificate? It got lost?
The dog ate it? No matter. Barack Obama or an immediate family member can plunk down $10 ($11.50 if
he orders online) and have Hawaii mail a certified document to him within a week or two. But more than
two weeks have passed since the Obama campaign adopted the suspect, uncertified image of a purported birth
document published by a left-wing blog Daily Kos, and nothing certified and nothing on paper has since has
been forthcoming.
Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate
forgery, subverting Obama claims. Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland
Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Hawaii birth
certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the
same Daily Kos blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears. … [And] why would a presidential
campaign that has its own "Fight the Smears" website rely on a radical left-wing blog like Daily Kos to post
its official documents, especially one as sensitive and controversial as a birth certificate?
The (semi-)
mysterious case of Obama's birth certificate: I am convinced that the certificate is a fake (and
not really a very good one) and I went into this with a completely open mind (something the Obamanationalists
seem to have lost). I also have to say that everyone who has been looking into this federal crime (and
it is a federal crime even if the certificates were never meant to be used for identification) have done a
stupendous job and I wish they all worked for my lab.
Is There
Legitimate Doubt About Obama's Eligibility to be President? My predisposition on the many stories
floating around about Obama and his circle is to ignore them on the following theory: If there was really
anything to this or that, the Clintons would have found it and gotten their media friends all over it. This
story about Obama's eligibility puzzles me because (a) it is so basic, (b) it should be so easy to prove the
relevant facts of his birth, (c) the Obama campaign's response to the story is bizarre, and (d) it seems to
be getting worse rather than resolved.
The Editor says...
Yes, the Clintons' media friends would be all over it, except that (a) the Clintons are not omniscient, and
(b) the news media like Obama as much as they like the Clintons. If the media discovered that Obama was
born in Kenya and thus ineligible, it would show the leader of their party to be a con man — or
worse — and that would leave the Democratic Party either without a nominee or overrun with
disillusioned Obama supporters who would stay home on election day. Therefore, given the news media's
well-known favoritism toward Democrats, this story will go unreported until at least November.
Birth certificate "painter" mocks
Obama claim that image proves authenticity. In a rambling interview with the Daily
Kos -- the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate
and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinnon, aka opendna,
says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as
a "template," supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an
attempt at deception but a "lame joke" that he now regrets.
Document forensics expert: Obama
"birth certificate" a "horrible forgery". The purported birth certificate was published by the
left wing Daily Kos blog on June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that Obama was not in fact born in
the United States (Canada and Kenya were suggested as the possible locations of his actual birth). Since
he would in that case not be a natural born US citizen (his mother was not present in the US sufficiently long
as an adult to pass American citizenship on to him automatically), he would not be eligible to be president.
Claim: Obama's "birth certificate"
forged with sister Maya's original. Independent analysts, working separately, claim to have
discovered that the original Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth used in the fabrication of the Barack
Obama "birth certificate" belongs to the Presidential candidate's younger half-sister, Maya.
Obama's Fake Birth Certificate: Why I'm right, and they're
wrong! OK, it's time to let the genie out of the bottle, and prove, once and for all time, that
the images posted on the Internet are NOT true, original copies of Obama's birth certificate (rather "Certification
of Live Birth", or COLB), that they NEVER WERE true, original copies, and if anyone tells you anything
different, that they are flat-out wrong.
No Paperwork For
Obama Grants From 1997 To 2000. [Obama] won't release his application to the state bar. He's never
released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to Tony Rezko.
He's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor. Does it bother anyone that a guy
with political ambitions for his entire adult life has not left a paper trail?
MSM
Ignores Democrat Lawsuit Against Obama. In the lawsuit, [Phillip] Berg states that Sen. Obama was
born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit,
Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late
stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's
own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann
Dunham — Obama's mother — gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to
Hawaii to register the birth.
Born
in the U.S.A.? A Lafayette Hill attorney filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday challenging
Sen. Barack Obama's claim to United States citizenship. The action seeks to remove the Democratic candidate
from the November ballot. … On Thursday [8/21/2008], Philip Berg filed a temporary restraining order in
federal court to bar Obama from running for president, claiming the Democratic candidate was actually born in
Africa. "We really don't believe he was born in Hawaii," Berg said. "We think he was born in Kenya."
Obama Sued
in Philadelphia Federal Court. [Philip] Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding
the Illinois senator's background, and in today's [8/21/2008] lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born
U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg
also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
"Barack H. Obama claims
he was born in Hawaii;
however, his grandmother in Kenya, brother and sister claim they were
present during Obama's birth in Kenya."
[Semicolon added]
Opposing viewpoint: Here's
the truth about Obama birth certificate. Since we first wrote about Sen. Barack Obama's birth
certificate June 16, speculation on his citizenship has continued apace. Some claim Obama posted a
fake birth certificate to his Web page.
Born in the U.S.A.: The truth
about Obama's birth certificate. Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some
time with the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides
at the Obama headquarters in Chicago.
Rebuttal: Inconsistencies undermine FactCheck report
on Obama "birth certificate". For an organization that claims to be fastidious with the facts, the
sentence is vague and overly cute. Who made the invitation to "spend some time with the certificate"?
How exactly did it happen that they "got a chance"? Did FactCheck approach the Obama Campaign or did the
Obama Campaign approach FactCheck? And what are the forensic analysis credentials of the FactCheck staff
that allows them to conclude definitively that the birth certificate is real and original? And when is
"recently"?
AP photo of school register reveals "Barry
Soetoro" as muslim Indonesian. A 2007 Associated Press photograph, suppressed until now, shows the
school register of the child who is today known as Barack Hussein Obama but was officially listed then as Barry
Soetoro, whose citizenship was listed as "Indonesian" and whose religion was listed as "Islam." The visual
evidence starkly contradicts the Obama campaign's claim that he was not a Muslim and confirms that he is a
national of at least one other country.
LOLo: one certificate theory crashes
but new Obama citizenship doubts arise. The latest assaults on the murky citizenship status of the
Senator and Presidential candidate are focused on several separate initiatives. One focuses on the issue of
allegedly double or even triple citizenship that Obama may to possess as the result of the foreign origin of his
presumed Kenyan birth father and that of his Indonesian step-father, Lolo Soetoro, both Muslims.
'Fight
the Smears' Website Admits Obama was Kenyan Citizen: Where's the MSM? [I]n response to the charge
that Barack Obama is not an American citizen, Obama's Fight the Smears website, quoting FactCheck.Org, has made a
bombshell admission ... Barack Obama was once a citizen of Kenya. You read that right, Obama had Kenyan
citizenship until 1982.
This could be the
game changer. Someone with the unlikely name of Molotov Mitchell has produced a 10 minute
and 52 second video [watch it below] that could well change the terms of the election — if enough
people watch it. Illuminati Productions has posted it to YouTube. … It makes accessible to the
general public some of the serious questions about Obama's citizenship status that have been vetted
almost exclusively in the conservative web world.
This is the video mentioned in the article immediately above:
Update: Senator
Obama and the DNC file for dsimissal of Berg vs. Obama. On Thursday September 24th, 2008
Senator Obama and the Democratic National Committee filed a motion to dismiss the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit on
the basis that the Court does not have jurisdiction because Mr. Berg "lacks standing to challenge the
qualifications of a candidate for President of the United States."
Democrat sues Sen. Obama over
'fraudulent candidacy'. A prominent Pennsylvania Democrat has sued Sen. Barack Obama, the
Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Obama is not a natural-born
citizen and, therefore, is not eligible to be president of the United States.
DNC steps in to silence lawsuit over
Obama birth certificate. The man suing Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee
for proof of Obama's American citizenship is outraged that his own party — rather than just
providing the birth certificate he seeks — would step in to silence him by filing a motion to
dismiss his lawsuit. … [attorney Philip J.] Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his
lawsuit or make it go away — instead of just providing the documents — the more
convinced he is that his accusations are correct.
Former
UT law grad sues Obama, questions citizenship. Philip J. Berg, a former University of
Toledo School of Law graduate, has filed a lawsuit against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
He's claiming the Illinois senator is not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible to run for president.
If elected, his selection to the presidency would cause a crisis within the U.S. Constitution. "If we
can't enforce our constitution, especially a candidate for president, we're in real trouble in this country,
more trouble than you really want to believe and it's frightening," said Berg from his offices in Lafayette
Hill, Penn., a suburb of Philadelphia.
My Mother's Birth
Certificate — And Obama's. You would think that Obama would have volunteered
the "proof" of his eligibility within a nanosecond of entering the race. But here we
are, less than two weeks away from the election, and Americans still don't know if Obama is
an American! While Obama's camp submitted a supposedly authentic birth certificate to
the far-left blog Daily Kos, it was found to have been a photo-shopped version of the birth
certificate of his half-sister, who was actually born in Hawaii, as Obama claims he was.
Marquis V
Reed — WA Sec Of State Wants Proof Of Obama's US Citizenship. The
"certificate" that Mr. Obama has posted on his official WEB site is a "Certification of Live
Birth," and not a "Birth Certificate" from Hawaii. There is no indication on even this
certificate as to specifically where the birth took place. Researchers have claimed to have
been unable to locate any birthing records in island hospitals for Barak Obama's mother.
Mr. Obama has offered none for review. Three forensic document experts have published
extensive reports claiming that there is evidence of tampering on even the Obama WEB site
displayed certificate.

Berg
v. Obama continues to be ignored in the "media". There continues to be little coverage of
Berg v. Obama in the media. (For the purpose of this article, we define "media" as those venues
available to the general public other than those exclusively available on the Internet.)
Unconvinced Obama's a
citizen. [There is a] pending lawsuit in U.S. District Court of Pennsylvania against Barack
Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission regarding Obama's citizenship.
This suit, filed prior to the Democratic National Convention contends that even if Obama was born in the U.S.,
his citizenship was renounced and he became a citizen of Indonesia when his mother married Lolo Soetoro.
It also alleges his status changed when his Indonesian father acknowledged him as his child. Dual
citizenship was not allowed in Indonesia at the time, according to the suit.
More Berg v. Obama et al. If there is
indeed absolutely no doubt about Obambi's eligibility for office, and that might very well be the case, why
the obfuscation? Why the massive outlay of funds and time to prevent those easily producible documents
from being released? Why, indeed, is this the case with any papers pertaining to Obambi's background?
His health records, his school records etc. etc. Is this the behavior of somebody who has absolutely
nothing to hide? Not in our book.
Final Report On
Obama Birth Certificate Forgery: Change You Can Believe In. Techdude delivers a final
report that exceeds my wildest expectations. It is irrefutable, empirical evidence — Obama's
birth certificate is a forgery. ... My deepest thanks and appreciation for Techdude's unwavering commitment
to the truth despite the threats and harassment, the slashed tires and the dead animal on his porch.
Insofar as "techdude's" credentials, he is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners,

Barack Obama and the End of the Republic.
Evidence appears to be mounting that strongly indicates Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama is
not a natural-born United States citizen, which is required of all who run for the presidency of the USA.
Attorney Philip J. Berg filed a lawsuit against Barack Obama and the DNC (Democrat National Committee)
on 15 September 2008. Neither Obama nor the DNC have responded to the suit — indicating
that they admit the charges brought by Berg are accurate.
WND's Corsi probing Obama's Hawaiian
birth. WND senior investigative reporter Jerome Corsi, who recently returned from a trip to
Kenya with revelations about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's participation in a foreign
nation's internal politics, now has been dispatched to Hawaii to uncover the truth of the senator's Hawaiian
birth. ... Corsi reported that when he was in Kenya he was told that Obama actually was born not in Honolulu
but in Mombosa, on the Kenyan coast. He also said he was told by government officials there all
those records were sealed and nothing could be released.
Obama 'admits' Kenyan birth?
Pennsylvania Democrat Philip J. Berg ... filed suit in U.S. District Court in August, alleging Obama is
not a natural-born citizen and is thus ineligible to serve as president of the United States. Though
Obama has posted an image of a Hawaii birth certificate online, Berg demands that the court verify the
original document, which the Obama campaign has not provided. Now Berg cites Rule 36 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that unless the accused party provides written answer or
objection to charges within 30 days, the accused legally admits the matter.
Is Barack Obama the 'Manchurian
Candidate'? [Scroll down] Philip J. Berg, the former Deputy Attorney General of
the State of Pennsylvania and two-time Democratic candidate for governor has filed suit in federal court
in an effort to force Barack Obama to produce a valid birth Certificate. Rather than produce the
certificate in federal court as ordered by a judge, Obama has provided images of the document to a
friendly web site, ignored the judge and filed a motion to dismiss the case, admitted that he holds
dual citizenship with the US and Kenya, and file a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery,
which should put the matter to rest until after the election. Doesn't it seem strange that
if Obama is really qualified to hold the office of president, that he refuse to provide the original copy
of his birth certificate to a federal judge, which would put the matter to rest once and for all.
[Emphasis added]
Strange
case of Obama birth record. The senator's paternal grandmother says she was present in the
delivery room at his birth — in Kenya. At least that is the claim of Pennsylvania lawyer
Philip J. Berg. To legally be president, one must be a natural born citizen of the
United States of America. ... The senator and his half-sister both say he was born in Hawaii,
only they can't agree on which hospital he was born in.
Suit challenges Obama's birth place.
A Warren County man is taking the long-simmering dispute over Barack Obama's birthplace — Hawaii or Kenya? — to
court. David M. Neal of Turtlecreek Township plunked down a $200 fee to file a lawsuit Friday [10/24/2008] in
Warren Common Pleas Court in Lebanon. The suit seeks to force state and federal officials to take more steps to
settle, once and for all, the question of Obama's legitimacy as a potential president.
BERG v.
OBAMA et al. An up-to-date list of all the complaints, motions, applications, orders, and
other proceedings in the case.
Berg lawsuit on
Obama birth certificate reportedly dismissed. The Philadelphia Daily News reports that Philip
Berg's lawsuit to compel the production of the Obama birth certificate has been dismissed by U.S. District
Judge R. Barclay Surrick. Berg is appealing the decision.
Judge
rejects Montco lawyer's bid to have Obama removed from ballot. A federal judge in Philadelphia
last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential
candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the
Nov. 4 ballot. Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on
Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that
Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya.
Lawsuit Against
Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court. The order and memorandum came down at
approximately 6:15 p.m. on Friday [10/24/2008]. Philip Berg's lawsuit challenging Illinois Sen.
Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president of the United States had been dismissed by
the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick on grounds that the Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General
for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lacked standing.
Who Enforces the
Constitution's Natural Born Citizen Clause? If you believe in individual rights and the notion
that our Constitution is a document granting enumerated but limited powers to the federal government, then
you have reason to be troubled by the recent dismissal in Berg v. Obama et al. Philip Berg,
Democrat and former Assistant Attorney General for Pennsylvania, brought suit alleging that under the Natural
Born Citizen Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Barack Obama is ineligible to be President.
Obama Birth Certificate? Another
Lawsuit Filed On His POTUS Eligibility. Thanks to the lawsuit filed by Philip Berg, Obama now
ADMITS (on his "Fight the Smears" website and factcheck.org) that he held dual citizenship with Kenya as a
child. This, in and of itself, may arguably disqualify him under Article II as the whole point of the
"Natural Born Citizen" requirement is the avoidance of divided allegiances.
The Man From Mombassa: The only
way left for citizens to avoid a Constitutional crisis will be to exercise their right by voting against Sen.
Obama. If, indeed, he is disqualified by virtue of not having been a natural-born citizen, it means that
as a lawyer and teacher of constitutional law he clearly knew he did not qualify to do so. If so, that
is such an egregious lie that he not only should not be permitted to hold the highest office, but should consider
returning to the land of his birth. He is surely not the only candidate for president to have lied to advance
his campaign, but he may turn out be the only one who never had the right to have run at all.
Ruling to come on Obama
birth case. A Warren County magistrate said he'll decide tomorrow whether Ohio Secretary of
State Jennifer Brunner has to get proof that Barack Obama was born in the United States. David M.
Neal, a Turtlecreek Township resident who runs a political Web site, filed suit last week, saying state and
federal government leaders have failed to verify that Obama was born in Hawaii, instead of Kenya.
Democrat: Obama's grandma
confirms Kenyan birth. The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama demanding
he prove his American citizenship — and therefore qualification to run for president — has confirmed
he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator's paternal grandmother confirming his birth
in Kenya.
Obama's birth certificate sealed
by Hawaii governor. Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become
a focus of intense speculation — and even several lawsuits — WND has learned that Hawaii's
Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's
Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under
any circumstances. The governor's office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in
Hawaii to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.
Spotting the
Camouflaged Candidate. [Scroll down] Why did Obama remain motionless when his US
citizenship was challenged in court? Obama did not respond with the documentation demanded by
the suit, yet it should have been easy to produce if he has nothing to hide. Why the mysterious
silence? Once again, it's not what we saw, but what we didn't see that causes suspicion.
Obama challenge
rejected. A Warren County magistrate didn't buy David M. Neal's argument that Brunner
had a duty to verify whether Obama qualified to be president. Neal relied too much on what he
read on the Web, Magistrate Andrew Hasselbach said. "The onus is upon one who challenges such
public officer to demonstrate an abuse of discretion by admissible evidence — not hearsay,
conclusory allegations or pure speculation," Hasselbach wrote in his decision issued shortly before
noon today.
Barack Obama's family in Kenya stops media interviews.
The Kenya family of US Democratic presidential [1] candidate Barack Obama has halted all media engagements until after
the US presidential election on November 4. The move has been taken to give Obama's paternal grandmother,
Mama Sarah Onyango Obama a break, according to a family member Mr Said Obama.
[ ... and to keep her from repeating her claim that she witnessed Barack Obama's birth.]
Obama's
Contempt For The Constitution: According to Raymond S. Kraft, an attorney and writer:
"The president, The Supreme Court justices and all members of Congress have taken an oath to defend and protect
the Constitution and have an affirmative duty to protect the Constitution by doing whatever is necessary to
insure that presidential (and congressional) candidates meet the constitutional requirements for the offices
they seek. It is a mandatory duty, and failure to do so violate their oaths of office. If they
don't follow this oath in Mr. Obama's case, it will be the biggest swindle in American history, allowing
Obama and the DNC to have concealed his true identity and lack of citizenship, thereby conning Democrats out
of hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign contributions. If justice is served, dozens of 'leading'
Democrats should go to prison for fraud."
An Open
Letter to Barack Obama: Are you a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.? Are you
legally qualified to hold the Office of President?
Post-Election,
Berg v. Obama Continues. Today [11/7/2008], attorney Philip Berg disseminated a press
release reminding all that, despite the results of Tuesday's election, his lawsuit against now
President-elect Barack Obama is alive and well. As it stands now, the United States Supreme
Court is awaiting a response which may or may not come from Obama, the DNC and Federal Election
Commission by December 1, 2008. ... Some, like myself, are conflicted. On one hand, Obama
received 63 million votes on Tuesday but, on the other hand, if Berg is correct he shouldn't
have been there in the first place.
Obama camp: Lawsuits by
citizens are 'garbage'. More than a half-dozen legal challenges have been filed in federal and
state courts demanding President-elect Barack Obama's decertification from ballots or seeking to halt elector
meetings, claiming he has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status. An Obama campaign spokeswoman
told WND the complaints are unfounded.
Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to
obtain Obama citizenship proof. Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate
Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in
California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a
Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a "natural
born" citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.
Former Obama opponent now suing to
prove President-Elect's citizenship. A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt
him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship. According to a press release from the American
Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed
suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to
President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural
born citizen of the United States.
Barack Obama: The 'Now He
Tells Us' Edition. A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions
regarding Obama's citizenship. According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former
presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court
in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until
documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.
Buena Park pastor files
suit to keep Obama from taking office. A Buena Park pastor and vice-presidential candidate noted for his
politics from the pulpit is a party to a lawsuit seeking to keep President-elect Barack Obama from taking office.
The lawsuit claims Obama has not provided sufficient proof he is a U.S. citizen, and asks that Secretary of State Debra
Bowen not certify California's election results until he provides more concrete evidence.
'Constitutional crisis' looming over
Obama's birth location. The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's
55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack
Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of
former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others. The legal action today [11/14/2008] is just the latest is a
series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's
status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.
Obama's pesky loose
ends: As this columnist has indicated previously, for reasons that beg deeper
analysis, grave and troubling facts pertaining to President-elect Barack Obama were kept from
the electorate by the establishment press. It is therefore arguable that had some or all
of these come to light and been scrutinized with half the alacrity as was Sarah Palin's
wardrobe, Obama may never have been elected at all.
Supremes to review Barack's
citizenship. A case that challenges President-elect Barack Obama's name on the 2008
election ballot citing questions over his citizenship has been scheduled for a "conference" at the
U.S. Supreme Court. Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review
cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. This case is set for a conference Dec. 5,
just 10 days before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet to make formal the election of
Obama as the nation's next president.
U.S. Supreme Court
Decisions on Berg, Donofrio Cases Could Be Imminent. Contrary to Internet rumor that Justice
Souter had ordered Barack Obama to provide the vault copy of his birth certificate, the Court merely set
December 1, 2008 as the date by which the respondents -- Obama, the Democratic National
Committee and Federal Election Commission -- were to respond to Berg's petition if they chose
to do so at all. Yesterday's filing, which appeared on the docket this afternoon, shows
that the respondents have waived their right to respond. It also suggests that a decision on
Berg's petition could be imminent.
