U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama,Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama'sparents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, he was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school. Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best.

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Osama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terroristswho are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack
Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

I never said I didn't like the man. I actually thought about voting for him. I read this and thought I would share it to see what everyone else thought.

A friend of mine in Florida sent me an email and told me she got this out of a newspaper there and thought I might be interested in it. I have e mailed her and asked her what paper.

Wow! Some people are so quick to bite someones head off for asking a question! I have read this in a paper or somewhere too and if this was all I had read and all I knew about the man then I probably wouldn't vote for him. I urge everyone to do their own research on the 2008 Presidential Candidates and not base an opinion just on one or two things you have heard or read.

I don't believe that all Muslims are terrorists. I don't know what I think of Obama yet, but we shouldn't all run for our lives every time we see someone that's Muslim, and I don't see Obama as being a terrorist. Muslims are people too, and yes there are a lot of Muslim terrorists, but they aren't all that way. Other than that, do you have a source for your information? I find the information interesting, I don't know who I'll vote for, but just a little reminder, the 2008 elections are more than a year away! You don't have to choose right at this moment who you will vote for.
I agree with a lot of the answers above, I think he needs a little more experience. I don't think that if he's president he will start taking away religious freedom, if that's the point you're trying to make. I like what Volleyballchick has to say, good job.

Of course he hides the fact. There are too many people with a negative thought of muslims (like yourself) due to the happenings in the past few years.
If the man is qualified, then let him run. Worst that can happen to him is that he loses. If he wins, well, any government class student can tell you that the President doesn't have - and never could have - absolute power. So the man, even IF he had ill will and malicious intents, he could not do it alone. So what if he is in the oval office? The president approves laws - he doesn't create them. And the checks in balances in place, he could hardly order the military to take over and do his bidding, for they take an oath to DEFEND this nation - not attack it.
Basically, I think there are too many conspiracy nuts with minds in overdrive. It is very simple - you don't like the man, don't vote for him, and join the opposition to make sure you promote the other guy (or girl). But condeming someone simply due to their religious beliefs is nothing but shallow and uneducated. Find out what the man stands for first, and then maybe you can condem him. I mean, the current guy had a platform of Christian morals, and look where that got this nation. . .

oh candy Elle... Cosby is a " shoot from the hip" man or woman, and tells it adore it IS. The concern is that almost all humans have a rough time with the reality. Colin Powell could have run, will have to have run, many years in the past, however feared assassination. Indeed, either one of those guys have a few well, forged normal experience ideologies, and could customarily be bigger by means of a long way than what's within the combine now. Thanks for the reminder. Colorado Kid

He was just on 20/20 last week and did not deny any of this . It didn't appear that he had anything to hide and was very at ease. He is very eloquent and charismatic, and unlike Hillary, never went on the defensive. But then, Hillary has a lot of baggage that she will always have to defend. people have not forgotten her failed health plan, White Water, and Vince' Foster' s mysterious suicide.

You whole thery was debunked on 60 minutes recently. The school in Jakarta has never taught radical Muslim theology. This Vicious lie was started by the same group that pushed the Weapon's of Mass destruction crap on the public.
I don't know if I'll vote for him or not, but I do know that I've had it with the hatefulness of the GOP and it seems, some of their mindless followers

I do not intend to vote for him but not for any of the reasons that you gave.
I will not just because he is a liberal.
And we do not want to have a liberal in the highest office in the world

He's not my choice, for many reasons. Chiefly his political positions.
We have almost two years to get to know details about him, so I assume his life story, political positions, etc. will become widely known.

I don't care about all that, but I don't think he's had enough experience yet to be president. I don't think he's figured out how Washington works.
His fresh new attitude won't mean he can make a difference. He needs to wait a while I think.

Interesting. I thought he had a "different" name. Hussein makes me think of Saddam and Obama makes me think of Osama.
