ABCNews: Obama’s Muslim Roots Beginning to Show
As I had originally covered in the now-scrubbed story about how the President empathizes with Muslims because of at least similar familial heritage:
Al Jazeera’s Anita McNaught, reporting from Istanbul, said: “This was the address we had all been waiting for, it hit all the right notes.
“He talked about the contribution of the Islamic faith in the life of American Muslims and then he personalised that message by saying ‘I know because I am one of them‘. It was a message that reached out to many today.
“Of course it needs to be followed up by actions and by discernible policy changes.” [emphasis mine]
ABCNews’ Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller not only confirm the above but go on to post the following story (excerpted):
The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.” …
With insane rumors suggesting he was some sort of Muslim Manchurian candidate, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his campaign did everything they could to emphasize his Christianity and de-emphasize the fact that his father, Barack Obama Sr., was born Muslim. …
Back then, the campaign’s “Fight the Smears” website addressed the candidate’s faith without mentioning his father’s religion:
“Barack Obama is a committed Christian. He was sworn into the Senate on his family Bible. He has regularly attended church with his wife and daughters for years. But shameful, shadowy attackers have been lying about Barack’s religion, claiming he is a Muslim instead of a committed Christian. When people fabricate stories about someone’s faith to denigrate them politically, that’s an attack on people of all faiths. Make sure everyone you know is aware of this deception.” …
Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president’s roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world.
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama referenced how many “Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them.” [emphases mine]
Let’s also not forget the President’s “no-bow” bow, providing more fuel to the fire that perhaps the President really is a Muslim at heart; while being a Muslim, per se, would not disqualify Mr. Obama from the presidency, it does help build a circumstantial case regarding his being ineligible.
And again, commenter “Seeking_Justice” had pointed to a particular video concerning the President’s background:

C5VetteMN6,
Aside from one of Dr. Taitz’ [former] blogs, do you have any sourcing for this allegation?
-Phil
His administration cronies are very busy making a long form birth certificate, it’s in the “aging” process as I type this. They used originia typewriters from that era, original paper, ink, stamps, etc. “He” will produce the long for very shortly.
EVERYONE knows that this Kenyan born muslim usurper has hi-jacked America, what can we do as true American citizens to get him impeached and tried for political corruption and FRAUD? The SCOTUS and other high-ranking politicians are too busy licking his a55. Even the media is eating out of his hands and too afraid, or being censored to speak the truth.
This usurper seems to be untouchable !!! He has the backing of the federal government, judges, state officials and every body else under the sun covering for him. Someone please advise what “the average Joe” can do to help impeach this fake and fraud.
HistorianDude,
I understand that. However, apparently the point is long since lost on both you and earl.
-Phil
earl,
Stop digging, earl. You’re so far down the proverbial hole of insanity from whence the conversation originated you don’t know how far you’re in.
-Phil
Whether his Muslim roots are being revealed is of genuine concern, but of more concern is the fact that Obama’s lawyers are working hard to hide his birth certificate. We know that fact because his lawyers’ answers to suits all over the country are public record. There’s nothing crazier than a President of the United States hiding his birth certificate. All of us posting here have had to show our birth certificates at one time or another, for far lesser positions than the Presidency of the United States.
People need to know that fact and they’ll never know unless public awareness is raised on this issue. Also, the birth certificate has become a distraction as it is known that Obama’s father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a British born subject as a Kenyan, and subject to the British Nationality Act of 1948. By way of British lineage, “Barry” is a British citizen as well. See the definition(s)of Natural Born Citizen at the following site:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Natural%20Born%20Citizen&defid=4016452
I would also agree with rrobin above about getting in touch with as many media people as possible about this issue. It is critical.
Look closely at another photoshopped image of Barry and Barack I,at the top of this page, nothing about this usurper is legitimate.
Earl,
You suggestion to substitute Muslim with Catholic in Phils comment, is merely provocative.
Catholics don’t intend nor have the religious obligation to politically conquer or control the world.
Islam teaches openly that these are its objectives. Infact a Hadith attributes to Mohammend the desire to conquer Constantinople and Rome: the first was done in 1453, the second was hailed as one step closer by the first Imam of the newly constructed massive Mosque in Rome, a few years ago.
That is why I say your allegation is merely provocative to avoid Phil’s reasonable argument.
Plus, we are currently at war with some Moslems who want to conquer the world and destroy us…therefore Phils comment is right on…
Civis naturaliter natus:
1. There is only a single (not 2) school registration that declares him a Muslim. It is second generation hearsay; i.e. testimony by an unknown person recorded by an unknown person. It is meaningless as evidence for anything.
2. His sister has never said that “all her family are muslims.”
3. Obama never admitted of his “Muslim faith.” He was paraphrasing other’s accusations, not making any claim of being a Muslim himself.
Fed up:
This is a fake Birther factoid. It has never been true that you needed to be an Indonesian citizen to attend school in Indonesia.
According to the 1942 Immigration and Nationality Act this is impossible. A minor cannot give up their American citizen, even if their parents have them naturalized in another country.
Phil:
Islam is a religion, not a foreign country.

“Are you trying to be an a$$hat or do you not realize that I was trying to have a reasonable conversation with you?”
On the contrary, the a$$hattery is entirely on the part of you and those that would suggest that the religious background of one’s family would have any bearing on Presidential eligibility. NO RELIGIOUS TEST. Alleging that because of Obama’s family’s religious background, he could have foreign allegiances is exactly what prior a$$hats tried to do to Kennedy because he was Catholic. Completely unreasonable in a secular democracy.

Black Lion,
My point about bringing up his admission to living in Indonesia is this: the only circumstance under which he could attend school in Indonesia at the time is if he was a citizen of Indonesia. Therefore, whether he was born in Hawaii or not, he had to give up his (alleged) US citizenship in order to become a citizen of Indonesia.
Not true. A minor cannot give up citizenship and Obama could not have given up his US citizenship. You may want to look at Supreme Court case ‘Perkins v. Elg’, 307 U.S. 325. The court interpreted that as a minor an individual getting the citizenship of another country does not strip or take away that individual’s US citizenship.
“The Supreme Court ruled, unanimously, that the actions of Elg’s parents in obtaining Swedish citizenship for their daughter could not prevent her from reclaiming US citizenship and returning to the US as an adult, provided she did so within a reasonable time after reaching adulthood.”
At the time, he could not get dual citizenship. This is a point that some of the attorneys who suing Obama have been arguing for quite some time.
There is no indication that Obama ever had Indonesian or dual citizenship, however even if he did it would not prevent him from retaining his US citizenship.
I just found it intersting that he would continue to let slip these tid-bits of information given the fact that they could ultimately lead to solid proof that he is ineligible.
I am not sure what he is letting slip away. Again there has never been any solid proof submitted that Obama is ineligible so this would be your opinion and not fact.

Black Lion,
If you were baptized a Catholic but do not think that makes you a Catholic, then you have said enough to convince me that nothing you say is worth hearing…..
Sorry about that…You are entitled to your beliefs…I believe that everyone makes a choice on what religion they want to follow…Although I was baptized Catholic I went to Lutheran Chuch growing up. Right now I don’t designate a specific religious denomination but I do consider myself a Christian and believe in GOD. My point was that no matter what you are born into or Parents make you do, everyone has choice and chooses what he or she wants to do. In this case we all choose what we want to do when it comes to religion.
…you’re that kind of guy who does not believe that any objective obligations regarding religious are derived from external religious acts….
I am not sure what you are saying there. I will withhold my response until futher clarification…
And thus I could never prove Obama had any religious convictions to you, on that basis….
No one could prove Obama had any religious convictions other than Obama. Only he knows what is in his heart and what he is. He has claimed on numerous cases to be a Christian, so I would choose to believe him and not a document that someone else filled out for him when he was about 6 or 7 years old. Besides since there is no religious clause regarding the Constitution what does it really matter? Unless you have something against Muslims…

” What his allegedly being Muslim would go to show is further anecdotal/circumstantial evidence that he could have foreign allegiances with other country(ies), potentially affecting his eligibility.”
Gotcha. Substitute “Catholic” for “Muslim”, and you’ve got the same point that was used to try to smear President Kennedy.
Black Lion,
Just remember — regarding eligibility, we’re not talking about plain old, vanilla American citizenship; we’re talking about natural born citizenship, something that the Judiciary in this country has never thoroughly defined to date.
-Phil

Fed Up..Obama could not have given up his citizenship. A minor cannot do that. He would have had to renounce his US citizenship at 18 in order to do that. Additionally there has been no proof supplied other than that one school document that Obama was ever a citizen of Indonesia. And the US would not have recognized that because Obama was born in the US, which makes him a US citizen under the Constitution. With a limited exception, all individuals born on US soil are US citizens. The only way Obama as a child could have been a Indonesian citizen is if he was born there, and we know he was not.
earl,
At least you are asking questions; this is a good start!
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution shows no religious or philosophical requirement (or requirement for none) to be eligible for the presidency (and I think we’ve both already known that). What his allegedly being Muslim would go to show is further anecdotal/circumstantial evidence that he could have foreign allegiances with other country(ies), potentially affecting his eligibility.
-Phil
“while being a Muslim, per se, would not disqualify Mr. Obama from the presidency, it does help build a circumstantial case regarding his being ineligible”
How so Phil? How would being a Muslim mkae him ineligible? In addition to conditions for eligibility that have been invented by the “he’s not eligible” community, are you now inventing a religion requirement?
To Phil’s Readers: Aren’t you all about upholding the Constitution? The Constitution says there is no religious test for holding public office. Do you support the Constitution or not?

Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.
-Phil
Civis naturaliter natus and Fed Up…He has admitted to living in Indonesia as a child. Indonesia has one of the largest Muslim populations on the planet. So he probably did hear a Muslim call. Secondly your parents could put down any religion they want but that does not make you a practicing member of that religion or a member at all. I was baptized as a Catholic and heard the Church bells of a Catholic church as a child but that does not make me a Catholic…Secondly that document that states Obama was a “muslim” also states that he was born in Honolulu. So if we want to take that document as some sort of proof, that is fine. In that case if we believe the document and he was a Muslim, then we need to believe it that he was born in HI. As far as his sisters statement goes, I have never seen it so I cannot comment. I just can go by what he has written and he has stated that he was exposed to the Muslim faith but was not a practicing Muslim. However as Phil as stated it doesn’t matter if he was one or not, because that would not make him ineligible to be President.
Phil, I know you did say that Obama being Muslim did not matter. Let me clarify what I meant when I said guilty. Many other anti-Obama individuals are implying that Obama has now proven himself to be a Muslim so he should be ineligible to be President. My point was that he was vilified for being a member of Rev. Wright’s Christian church for 20 years but now he is a Muslim because of a couple of statements he made indicating he knew how it was to live in a Muslim country and have Muslim family members. It seemed like he is being accused of being both a Christian and a Muslim at the same time. That was where I was going with that statement.

Granted, this doesn’t prove that he is a Muslim. It does, however, show Obama himself admitting that he once lived there.
When are the “powers that be” going to wake up and realize that this usurper is rubbing it in our faces that he’s not eligible to be POTUS?!?
Black Lion,
You write: “And have we seen any documented proof of Obama practicing as a Muslim?”
I recommend you for law school, because only a laywer could ask a question that could never be answered in the positivie sense, on account of its incongruous adjectives. Obviously there is no such thing as documentary proof of practice, other than a video, and I doubt there were video cameras in Obama’s mosque as a child.
But as to documents which declare O was a muslim, there are the 2 school registrations in Indonesia filed by his parents at the time; the testimony of his sister who said that all her family are muslims, and O’s own admission before cameras of his “Muslim Faith”.
You really want to see him in a Mosque praying Muslim prayers?
Why?
Why, too, do you believe that that kind of proof is the only kind admissable?
Black Lion,
You would do well to re-read the posting once again. In it you will find specific verbiage whereby I said that his being a Muslim (if he really is) would not, per se, disqualify him from being President. Secondly, he is not guilty of anything if he is a Muslim, so I’m a little confused over your “guilty” charges.
-Phil
I wish someone would interview the little old lady who asked John McCain about Obeyme’s Muslim roots during the campaign. Wonder how she is feeling right about now? Perhaps when he has declared himself Dictator of the World, he’ll show us his papers right before he throws us all into prision until we get on his agenda.
Second thought. I wish someone would ask John McCain what he thinks about Obeyme’s Muslim roots………….surely he’s had an earful by now.

Subsequent to 911, Obama made the statement “I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” We must believe his past (prior to campaign) to know the real Obama. A very scary reality is that Obama is very much controled by the dangerous personality disorder Grandiose Malignant Narcissism. To truly know Obama this personality disorder must be understood. He must never stop campaigning, His craving ego is satisfied only by his own words, His self indulgence is omnipotent. He IS GOD in his own mind. This power monger is truly unfit to serve and must be exposed and impeached A.S.A.P. Beware Obama! Be Afraid! Very Afraid!

Phil, yep ” take out the nutcases”
= facetiousity.
For everyone else, “” denotes snark.
Another interesting issue is this thing about Obama “bowing” to the Saudi King. If I recall President George W. Bush kissed the Saudi King on both cheeks. So does that make him a secret Muslim? And have we seen any documented proof of Obama practicing as a Muslim? Did he have a Muslim father, yes. Has he said that he will reach out to the Muslim world, yes. To take his statements and twist them to claim that he is some secret Muslim is crazy. I thought in this country a person was INNOCENT until proven guilty. However when it comes to President Obama, he is guilty. He is a secret Muslim, even though he went to Rev. Wright’s church. However he is un-American because he attended Wright’s church for 20 years and listened to his un-American rhetoric. So which is it? So he is a secret Muslim that went to an un-American church for 20 years? Or may be he is a Christian that is just un-American? You people can never make up your minds of what he is guilty of. And since there is no religion clause in the Constitution (the whole separation of church and state thing) then how even if he is a Muslim does that make him ineligible to be President? However I am sure that will not stop his detractors because these are the same individuals that claim that the US Constitution indicates that both parents must be US citizens in order for someone to be President.
Sven, you are back at it with your absurd “Indonesian refugee status” theory again? This is after your ridiculous special “diplomatic passport” theory that you claimed about 3 weeks ago that Obama used to travel as a US senator. Did you ever think that he is able to travel because he has a US PASSPORT. He has had one since 1964 or 1965 since he needed a US PASSPORT to travel to Indonesia with his mother. That usually goes along with being born in the US. Additionall how could Obama be an Indonesian refugee? He was not born there. It makes no sense that he would even be considered an Indonesian refugee since he was not born in Indonesia. And it does not explain how he was able to travel to Indonesia in the first place. Secondly no one has ever provided proof that Soetero adopted Obama. That is a rumor based on one piece of documentation, the same piece of documentation that says that he was born in Honolulu. So if you are going to give any credibility to that part of the document to claim that Soetero adopted Obama, you have to give the same amount of credibility to the fact that the same document says that he was born in HI. And when he went back to the US to live with his grandparents, he would have used the same US passport he used to go to Indonesia. This garbage about NGO and going to the US Consulate because he was abandoned by his mother is so ridiculous it is laughable. If you could supply us with one shred of proof of your ridiculous theory, then please do so. [Unneeded verbiage]
Why is Barack (you can now call me Hussein) Obama working so hard to hide the facts:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/07/obama-verbal-slip-fuels-his-critics/
By Christina Bellantoni | Sunday, September 7, 2008
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Sen. Barack Obama’s foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue, when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, “my Muslim faith.”
The three words — immediately corrected — were during an exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week,” when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
But illustrating the difficulty of preventing false rumors about his faith from spreading, anti-Obama groups within one hour of the interview had sliced it out of context and were sending it around via email. They also were blogging about it.
Mr. Obama, who is a Christian and often proudly speaks about how his faith has influenced his public service, said he finds it “deeply offensive” that there are efforts “coming out of the Republican camp to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith.”
The exchange came after Mr. Obama said that Republicans are attempting to scare voters by suggesting he is not Christian, which McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said was “cynical.”
Asked about it on ABC, Mr. Obama said, “These guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand.”
“The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections,” said Mr. Stephanopoulos, who repeatedly interrupted Mr. Obama during the interview.
“I don’t think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let’s say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks,” Mr Obama responded, and Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted: “But John McCain said that’s wrong.”
Mr. Obama noted that when Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin “was forced” to talk about her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, he issued a forceful statement to reporters that the line of inquiry was “off limits.” But he said the McCain campaign tried to tie him to “liberal blogs that support Obama” and are “attacking Governor Palin.”
“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”
Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, “Christian faith.”
“My Christian faith,” Mr. Obama said quickly. “Well, what I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim. And I think that his campaign’s upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith — something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.”

Phil,
Good stuff. But, in pure Clintonian-parsing-style the Obots will conclude that he was referring to his Muslim-father (or still-living Muslim half-siblings since the tense is present tense) when he stated: “Many other Americans have Muslims in their families…I am one of them”.
Kind of funny that he would tout this as an endearing quality that has somehow shaped him or improved his disposition in some way given that he was basically abandoned by his father and he has had very little contact with his Muslim half-siblings. Perhaps he was talking about his adopted father Soetoro? Has he admitted his adoption yet?
Let us not be derailed by yet another red herring. Religion is not a POTUS eligibility dis-qualifier; nor sadly is deceit. Focus should remain on his “natural born citizen” qualifications or lack thereof, and secondarily his proof of birth by a doctor/midwife in the US. What was that delivering physician/Dr’s name again? Oh yeah, my bad, we still don’t know.
How does Barry travel internationally without a US Passport.
The picture of Barack and his father help fill in the blanks in Barry’s life. As near as I can figure, Lolo Soetoro adopts Barry and enrolls Barry Soetoro in school at Indonesia. A few years later, Barry is escorted to an US NGO or Counsulor Affairs office located in Indonesia and is presented as an Indonesian citizen abandoned by his mother with a grandparent in the US.
The US State Department confirms Barry’s grandparent is a US citizen living in the US. Barry, an Indonesian citizen, is issued US Travel Documents to travel to the US as a Indonesian refugee from a war-torn country.
Barack, Sr. is asked by the US NGO (probably the Ford Foundation) to travel to Hawaii and attend a court hearing to relingish his parental rights, otherwise the adoption by Lolo Soetoro could have been invalidated.
Barry enjoys the benefit of scholarship at some of the finest private schools available because of his Indonesian refugee status. He even travels back to Indonesia with his previously issued US Travel Documents. Most likely, the purpose of the trip was to obtain an Indonesian passport because his US Travel Documents would have expired when he turned 21.
Phil,
Politicians lie, all politicians. BHO is no different. Is he a Muslim? Is he a homosexual or bisexual? Is he a drug user? Does he say for us to be “green” while he wastes jet fuel? The above answers, even if positive, do not prevent him from serving as POTUS.
BHO just needs to release his long form Birth Certificate, complete with his little footprints, and his student loan information. The SCOTUS needs to make a ruling on NBC and POTUS. Cheap, effective, and simple.

Barry is a liar. Whether or not he is a muslim or not he misled the American people. He is a usurper. In my humble opinion he should be arrested for treason and punished accordingly.
What more proof do you need?
