I got this crap in an email today. It was sent to me by an ill-informed friend who doesn’t bother to check out if its true or not. I decided to do some research of my own to discover just how much truth if any there was in it , and as it turns out, it is a dirty smear campaign designed to discredit Presidential candidate Barak Obama. I’m not an American, and I don’t support Obama, but I feel its not fair that people blindly forward crap like this onto unsuspecting potential voters.
Below this copy of the email, with the truth as I see it from my research.
Who is Barack Obama?
Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts…this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States…better heed this and pray about it and share it.
We checked this out on “snopes.com”. It is factual. Check for yourself.
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.
Barack Hussein Obama Snr was born in Alego, Kenya. He met and married Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas, while they were both attending the University of Hawaii. They gave birth to a son, also named Barack Hussein Obama on 4 August 1961 at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Although Barak Obama Snr was raised as a Muslim, there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that he was ever a “radical Muslim,” and Senator Obama’s family histories note that his father was an atheist or agnostic (i.e., no longer a practicing Muslim) by the time he married the younger Obama’s mother.
Barak Obama Jnr wrote:
For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up close-mindedness in the garb of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness This isn’t to say that she provided me with no religious instruction. In her mind, a working knowledge of the world’s great Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.In sum, my mother viewed religion through the eyes of the anthropologist she would become; it was a phenomenon to be treated with a suitable respect, but with a suitable detachment as we l.
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 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
True, his parents divorced when he was 2 years old and when he was 6 his mother remarried to Lolo Soetoro an Indonesian business man. They moved to indonesia where Barak Jnr spent about 5 years attending 2 schools, one muslim the other catholic. He was then sent to live with his grandmother back in America.
Barak Obama Jnr wrote:
During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominantly Muslim school; in both cases, my mother was less concerned with me learning the catechism or puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin’s call to evening prayer than she was with whether I was properly learning my multiplication tables.
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 that he is not a radical. 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.
Obama Jnr wrote:
My father was almost entirely absent from my childhood, having been divorced from my mother when I was two years old
At the time of his death, my father remained a myth to me, both more and less than a man. He had left Hawaii back in
1963, when I was only two years old, so that as a child I knew him only through the stories that my mother and
grandparents told.
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.
Actually, the large Indonesian community resident in Mecca was a medium through which knowledge about Wahhabism reached Indonesia, but the community itself appears to have remained virtually immune to Wahhabi influences. In reality there was little direct influence of Wahhabism on Indonesian reformist thought until the 1970s.
About the The Basuki school, which Obama attended from 1969 to 1971.
“This is a public school. We don’t focus on religion,” Hardi Priyono, deputy headmaster of the Basuki school, told Vause.”In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don’t give preferential tre tment.”
Students dress in neat school uniforms, while teachers were dressed in Western-style clothes
“I came here to Barack Obama’s elementary school in Jakarta looking for what some are calling an Islamic madrassa … like the ones that teach hate and violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan,” Vause said on the ‘Situation Room.’ “I’ve been to those madrassas in Pakistan … this school is nothing like hat.”
Vause also interviewed one of Obama’s Basuki classmates, Bandug Winadijanto, who claims that not a lot has changed at the school since the two men were pupils. Insight reported that Obama’s political opponents believed the school promoted Wahhabism, a fundamentalist form of Islam, “and are seeking to prove it .”
“It’s not (an) Islamic school. It’s general,” Winadijanto said. “There is a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian. … So that’s a mixed school.
Since it t 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.
So how did he become a churchgoer?
It began in 1985, when he came to Chicago as a $13,000 -a-year community organizer, working with a number of Africa-
American churches in the Roseland, West Pullman and Altgeld Gardens neighborhoods that were trying to deal with the
devastation caused by shuttered steel plants
“I started working with both the ministers and the lay people in these churches on issues like creating job -training
communities,” he says. “And it was in those places where I think what had been more of an intellectual view of religion
deepened.
“I became much more familiar with the ongoing tradition of the historic black church and its importance in the community.
And the power of that culture to give people strength in very difficult circumstances, and the power of that church to
give people courage against great odds. And it moved me deeply.
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
FALSE… this is a referrence to a different politician, Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison, not Barack Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
In fact Senator Obama drew some criticism over a photograph that showed him standing without his hand over his heart during the playing of the U.S. national anthem, but the claim that he “will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance” is totally false.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US 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!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!
… in my opinion this is absolute bloody crap.
