Obama a Muslim?

An interesting article on Washington Post.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con tent/article/2007/11/28/AR2007112802757. html?hpid=topnews

It mentions:

"While his father was an atheist and his mother did not practice religion, Obama's stepfather did occasionally attend services at a mosque there."

"his time living and attending school in Indonesia, and the fact that his paternal grandfather, a Kenyan farmer, was a Muslim"

I think he is a Christian and a man who believes in the Bible, but he has Muslim blood?

" I think he is a Christian and a man who believes in the Bible, but he has Muslim blood? "

 - So what ?

I have to say this , of all the diaries I have read on mydd , this has to be at the top for being ridicoulous.

If he is a muslime , what difference does it make ?

This is really a  bizarre diary.

Muslim blood?  What kind of fucked up statement is that?  He is not muslim, was not raised muslim, what is it you don't get?  Plan to win this by smearing?

Re: Obama a Muslim? (2.00 / 2)

Islam is a religion, since you appear to be unaware.  It's not a genetic condition you pass on to your kids.

At this point, reading diaries like this one just leaves me numb.  What goes through people's minds?

This is really going to hurt Obama's chances to be part of Mitt Romney's cabinet.

Re: Obama a Muslim? (2.00 / 1)

There is no such thing as Muslim blood- c'mon, that's ridiculous.  You should get rid of this diary, it's terrible.  Trust me, he's a big Christian.  McClurkin will vouch for him.

Re: Obama a Muslim? (none / 0)

People, you're missing the point. This article in the Post is regurgitating lies the GOP has thrown out onto winger sites. Remember the "Obama attended a madrasa overseas" nonsense from a couple of months ago? This is a mutation of that insanity being dredged up just to keep it alive. It's horrible the Post (of all places) is giving these dark whispers credence where there is none, and amplifying them. They've been shilling for the GOP to keep their access since 2002. Wake up!

For the last time, Obama has always been a Christian. He's been a member of a large UCC (United Church of Christ, the successors to the  Congregationalists, who were the successors to the Puritans) church in Illinois (in a suburb of Chicago) for at least a decade.

Is there anything that is unacceptable on MyDD any longer?

This diary should be deleted and the writer should probably be banned.

With things like this diary, and the large number of absurdly low-brow comments, it's really a damn shame to see what's been allowed to happen to MyDD (my former favorite political discussion site) this past year.

You need to remove this diary.  You are a part of a racist problem, spreading lies.

Do I need to put up if Hillary is a lesbian?  I have read many articles to that fact.  Or what is the secret the L.A. Times and NYT holding on Clinton?  Like names of women BC has supposedly been involved with?

Hillary clinton has her ties to Indian Muslims who are coming to american on HB1 visa's at an alarming rate. I hope you get my point. Barack may have ties and those ties are to poor african muslims with no power and are no national threat to any country considering they have tiny militaries controlled by George Bush dictators! The Bush Clinton regime has the connections that have proven to hurt our country and has caused us major problems in the world. I would long to have a man Like Obama in office working with these poor african nations and bringing about a sense of balance before i would ever trust the likes of Hillary clinton getting in to further decimate our american labor force with low paying HB1 vis immigrants! No Obama is just the kind of connection we need to have working with africa before it becomes a nation controlled further with Bush Clinton dictators..
