Okay. I know the idea of Barack Obama being a closet Muslim has been debunked time and time again by Washington insiders and the media alike. We all know he has been attending Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church for the past 20 years. I also know that not all Muslims are radical…
So then - why do I still feel like I’m being hoodwinked?
I did some online research to see if there was any "new" information I could find about Sen. Obama since the mainstream media is absolutely unwilling to do their job. Sure enough I found some…
- Malik Obama, pictured above, is Barack Obama’s older brother. He currently lives in Kenya. He is holding a picture of Barack, himself, and an unidentified third man.
- Abongo "Roy" Obama, a Luo activist and militant Muslim, also currently lives in Kenya. He is Barack’s "other" older brother. (The writer at the above link is Pamela Geller, she seems to be fairly credible) Abongo argues that the "black man must liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage. He is a member of the Orange Democratic Movement led by…
- Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of Kenya and Barack Obama’s cousin. (A few years ago, the Kenyan government called Sen. Obama his stooge). The Christian Post reported late last year: "Raila Odinga, the current frontrunner in the upcoming presidential election in Kenya, has promised to implement strict Islamic Sharia law if he receives the Muslim vote in the predominantly Christian country and is elected president". The Spectator has yet another revealing take on Kenyan Jihad…
- Apparently, Odinga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Abdullahi Abdi, Chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, to get the Jihad rolling… But when Odinga lost in the Presidential elections all Hell broke loose…
- 2004 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Wangari Maathai stated in an interview for Spiegel, that "…most of the murders have been committed by supporters of the opposition, the Orange Democratic Movement". Two months later, Maathi told Newsweek, "Surely they knew that the only way they could make their counterparts on the other side to listen, to rise up, to pay attention was to create an environment where the country was virtually ungovernable". The top American diplomat to Africa referred to the violence as the ethnic cleansing of Christians.
RE: …since the mainstream media is absolutely unwilling to do their job [researching Obama] . Sure enough I found some…
Interesting and I agree with you regarding media’s cushioning Obama. As far as the implications of having a Muslim/Hussein as US president, below is an older CNN transcript describing Steve King’ (R-Iowa) comments regarding the consequences of such an event
CNN: Steve King, Republican Congressman: Al-Qaida Will Be “Dancing In The Streets” If “Hussein” Obama Wins
March 8, 2008 12:21 PM
King said Monday that Obama would be viewed as a “savior” for terrorists:
An Iowa Republican congressman on Monday defended his prediction that terrorists would celebrate if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president, despite a rebuke from aides to John McCain, the GOP’s apparent presidential nominee.
“(Obama will) certainly be viewed as a savior for them,” Rep. Steve King told The Associated Press. “That’s why you will see them supporting him, encouraging him.”
EARLIER: King refused to back down from his comments in an interview with Fox News Channel host Geraldo Rivera:
“I reject [McCain’s] disavowal and I reject the Democrat web pages that call me the names that they have,” King said. “I’d ask them to point to the quote that I have said that offends them. And if I am wrong, Geraldo, and we elect Obama to the presidency and he declares defeat, if they don’t dance in the streets, I will come and apologize to you and everybody in America. But I’m saying, I’m right.”
ORIGINAL REPORT: From the AP:
An Iowa Republican congressman said Friday that terrorists would be “dancing in the streets” if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency.
Rep. Steve King based his prediction on Obama’s pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein.
“The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in thiRE Obama accuses McCain of ‘losing his bearings’
The following is an AP piece of March 8, 2008 which nicely anticipates Hussein’s irritation:

“The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror,” King said in an interview with the Daily Reporter in Spencer.
King said his comments were not meant to demean Obama but to warn how an Obama presidency would look to the world.
“His middle name does matter,” King said. “It matters because they read a meaning into that.”

More Of King’s Comments from the Spencer Daily Reporter:
“There are implications that have to do with who he is and the position that he’s taken. If he were strong on national defense and said ‘I’m going to go over there and we’re going to fight and we’re going to win, we’ll come home with a victory,’ that’s different. But that’s not what he said. They will be dancing in the streets if he’s elected president. That has a chilling aspect on how difficult it will be to ever win this Global War on Terror. […]”
Misanthropicus’ conclusion: Obama’s irritation shows that King was/is damn’ right and that McCain will use further this thing, which I strongly endorse.

Obama and all of his “friends” are either Muslim, PLO supporters, Nation of Islam members, or members of the New Black Panther Party. Obama’s claim that he is a christian because he has attended a christian church for 20 years is ludicrous, and anyone who believes that Wright and his church members are christians are just as ludicrous!!!

As a Kenyan I’m disappointed at such a feeble yet ignorant attempt to stitch together a false reality. Several stories and quotes the ‘author’ relies on are way off the mark. First, Obama and Raila are not related, check it up. Second there was no agreement for Sharia law, the story was based on a ‘leaked’ document on the internet which turned out to be a fake MoU; widely believed to have been done by the ruling party! There’s a lot more and you can get in touch if you want clarification or otherwise although I’m sure whoever wrote this piece knows the real truth and is grossly distorting facts and creating false linkages. Please just do Kenyans a favor and check your facts and represent things as they are. Truth may be perception, but only for the feeble-minded.
