The video notes, while he is the first Muslim elected to U.S. office, he is not the first congressman to request something other than the Bible for the ceremony..."

He does seem to belong to a Church that is afro-centric....maybe there is some racism with that church....some have suggested that.

But the organization it self is supposed to be evangelical

The so called Muslim school was not a radical private Muslim school where kids are indoctrinated

Interviews by The Associated Press at the elementary school in Jakarta found that it's a public and secular institution that has been open to students of all faiths since before the White House hopeful attended in the late 1960s.Obama, who was born in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia at age 6 to live with his mother and stepfather, attending schools in the country until age 10, when he returned to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents.

"The allegations are completely baseless," said Akmad Solichin, the vice principal at SDN Menteng 1, who added, "Yes, most of our students are Muslim, but there are Christians as well. Everyone's welcome here ... it's a public school."

"SDN Menteng 1 is a public primary school that is open to people of all faiths," said the spokesman, Sutopo, who goes by only one name. "Moreover, he studied earlier at Fransiskus Assisi, which is clearly a Catholic school."

Obama later transferred to SDN Menteng 1 - the elite, secular elementary school at the center of the controversy. The school is public but is very competitive and has exceptionally high standards. It is located in one of the most affluent parts of Jakarta and attracts mostly middle- to upper-class students, among them several of former dictator Suharto's grandchildren.

BTW how many other candidates have skeletons in their closet that they repented of?

You're forgiven :-)

By now, I suspect any and all emails like that to be chain emails....since the person that sent it to me received it from someone that received it from someone etc etc....so I usually do some research..

And folks...Pepsi is still not giving out a dollar for each email you send out

No problem but you are not the only one that is guilty of it. Most people tend to believe things they read and hear without researching it for themselves.

I think it's because we generally like to believe people are honest and quite frankly it's time consuming to research everything.

haha, too funny.

All it takes is a few minutes of Google searching to verify if a lot of this stuff is true or not. Its not that hard.

Barack is not a muslim. He's a [self-professing] Christian. His church is part of the United Churches of Christ denomination.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable 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's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was 2 years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.

When Obama was 6 years old the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent 2 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. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who 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 has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!

Also, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?

Ahhh this is good information....because all I had seen was his inrollment in the christian church....this artical if true is very disturbing to say the least....the last thing this country needs is a muslim president...or a woman for that matter .......esp.........HILLery


OH OK>..just went back and saw the SNOPES thing....glad the truth came up!
