It matters because he's denied it. If he is in fact considered Muslim, he has lied about his own background. Obama obfuscates outrageously.

Wet Fart in the Wind
--with apologies to Elton John and "Candle in the Wind"

Goodbye Barack Hussein

Though I never knew you at all

The nutroots craved an empty suit

And you answered the call

In a voice well modulated

You spoke of hope and change

And gathered up across the land

The demented and strange

And it seems to me you've lived your life

Like a wet fart in the wind

When folks surrounding wrinkled their nose

You'd give a sheepish grin

I might have had some respect for you

Were there one thing you had achieved

Other than convince the weakest minds

That you could be believed.

Crisscrossing the land
Through all fifty-seven states
You waffled more upon the podium
That at breakfasts that you ate
Though your supporters try
To say you're opposed for your race
It's the content of your character
Not the color of your face

And it seems to me you've lived your life

Like a wet fart in the wind

When folks surrounding wrinkled their nose

You'd give a sheepish grin

I might have had some respect for you

Were there one thing you had achieved

Other than convince the weakest minds

That you could be believed.

Goodbye Barack Hussein

Though I never knew you at all

The nutroots craved an empty suit

And you answered the call

Goodbye Barack Hussein
From the young man in the voting booth
Who sees the changes that you dream of
Will kill the hopes of youth

And it seems to me you've lived your life

Like a wet fart in the wind

When folks surrounding wrinkled their nose

You'd give a sheepish grin

I might have had some respect for you

Were there one thing you had achieved

Other than convince the weakest minds

That you could be believed.

re: #29 monkey den

Enough of this! Is he Muslim or is he not? :)

He was born a Muslim and was raised Muslim until he was 10 years old, no question about that.

If I studied the Koran, learned and spoke Arabic, recited the Muslim Call to Prayer in perfect Arabic, worshipped in a mosque, and my father, step-father, brothers, and grandfather were Muslim, you might think I was Muslim as well.

A few days ago, I had been thinking about “Sympathy for the Devil” for Obama.
Then, part of Sympathy was posted, I followed up with some of my lines, and got some additional ones from Occasional Reader.

re: #48 WrathofG-d

In my mind it does; the USA has freedom here, and separation of religion from government, and the Islamic faith never has these things, by its very nature.

So if he's Muslim in my mind he's disqualified.

Abongo Obama began using his Luo tribal first name and had sworn off pork, smoking and drinking by the time of his younger brother's 1992 wedding.

"Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.

An accountant, Abongo Obama also argued that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture," Obama wrote. "But the magic of his laughter remains, and we can disagree without rancor."

You know, it's well past time that someone do a cloud diagram showing the six degrees of separation between Obama and the riff raff that he's associated with over the years.

The RNC could do a whole series of print ads - or commercials on this theme.

Show Obama at the center.. and in pop up video fashion, note Rezko, Ayers (and perhaps showing him standing on the US flag and a link then to the funeral of NYS troopers murdered by Ayers' compatriots in the Weather Underground), Wright, Pfleger, Johnson, Holder, etc.

There's certainly more than enough material on just that front alone.

re: #62 Ojoe

Even if Obama was a dyed in the Kiffiyeh Muslim (which he doesn't seem to be) he would still be constrained by the U.S. Constitution. You can have any concerns that you wish (dang, I'll even acknowledge your right to have prejudices [if you had them]) but I am not so concerned about the religion of a nominee. To me it is what they wish to do with the Power. Even the most religious could intend not to concern themselves with their own religion.

It is a big deal for two reasons:

1. He has lied about it.

2. He has clearly stated that he first "accepted Jesus" at Trinity with Wright - 20 ish years ago, as an adult. That would make him, if true, a muslim apostate. All true muslims would be under fatwah to try to kill him. How, then, could he be expected to even visit the Middle East or conduct any kind of diplomacy with muslims?

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.

"That's not the half that I knew."

re: #72 Maine's Michael

The problem isn't necessarily that Obama is Muslim.

re: #83 galloping granny
What I've seen is when barack's daddy died he had 3 wives. But i've also seen it posted that he had 'at least 3 wives'.

We need more stories about Obama's good brother - Mark:

"'So, Mark,' I said, turning to my brother, 'I hear you're at Berkeley.'

"'Stanford,' he corrected. His voice was deep, his accent perfectly American. 'I'm in my last year of the physics program there.'"

They meet once more, for lunch:

"I asked him how it felt being back for the summer.

"'Fine,' he said. 'It's nice to see my mom and dad, of course. ... As for the rest of Kenya, I don't feel much of an attachment. Just another poor African country.'

"'You don't ever think about settling here?'

"Mark took a sip from his Coke. 'No,' he said. 'I mean, there's not much work for a physicist, is there, in a country where the average person doesn't have a telephone.'

"I should have stopped then, but something -- the certainty in this brother's voice, maybe, or our rough resemblance, like looking into a foggy mirror -- made me want to push harder. I asked, "Don't you ever feel like you might be losing something?'

"Mark put down his knife and fork, and for the first time that afternoon his eyes looked straight into mine.

"'I understand what you're getting at,' he said flatly. 'You think that somehow I'm cut off from my roots, that sort of thing.' He wiped his mouth and dropped the napkin onto his plate. 'Well, you're right. At a certain point, I made a decision not think about who my real father was. He was dead to me even when he was still alive. I knew that he was a drunk and showed no concern for his wife or children. That was enough.'

"'It made you mad.'

"'Not mad. Just numb.'

"'And that doesn't bother you? Being numb, I mean?'

"'Towards him, no. Other things move me. Beethoven's symphonies. Shakespeare's sonnets. I know -- it's not what an African is supposed to care about. But who's to tell me what I should and shouldn't care about? Understand, I'm not ashamed of being half Kenyan. I just don't ask myself a lot of questions about what it all means. About who I really am.' He shrugged. 'I don't know. Maybe I should. I can acknowledge the possibility that if looked more carefully at myself, I would ...'

"For the briefest moment I sensed Mark hesitate, like a rock climber losing his footing. Then, almost immediately, he regained his composure and waved for the check.

"'Who knows?' he said. 'What's certain is that I don't need the stress. Life's hard enough without all that excess baggage.'

"... Outside we exchanged addresses and promised to write, with a dishonesty that made my heart ache."

BTW, there's something at that link that I haven't read yet - that Obama's dad beat his third wife. I don't guess that's what Obama meant when he titled one of his books Dreams from my Father.

Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter in the long-run. Regardless if the man is Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, atheist, agnostic or Satan worshiper – his ideas on policy would be devastating to our nation. The rest is just white noise.

For me, it's not so much the religion, as it is the lying about it that is making the hair stick up on the back of my neck. Obama is lying when he doesn't need to, over and over again. He gave an interview to the NYT in 2007 confirming his muslim background. As of the primary start, his whole campaign and MSM cronies insist that he's never been muslim. Why is he just be straight forward about his childhood roots, and his American right to change his religion in adult hood? Why hasn't he just release the whole birth certificate to a reputable sources? And then, he lies about an awful lot of things. He lies about Ayres just a guy in the neighborhood, when he actually sat on a board with him. The list of lies is lengthy. You get my point. The unnecessary lies just hammer the point home that he will lie about anything, even things that are not worth lying about.
