Barack Hussein Obama Is Barack Obama a Muslim wolf in Christian wool? By Reuven Koret israelinsider.com Thursday, March 27, 2008 The glib handling of criticism of his relationship with the anti-American ( God Damn America! ) and anti-Israel ( a dirty word for Negroes ) Reverend James Wright may have bought him a little time. But the legacy of dissimulation about his long-concealed identity is about to come crashing down around the ears of Barack Hussein Obama, courtesy of the assembled testimony of his family, friends, classmates and teachers. The accumulated research indicates that Obama was in his childhood a devout Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the step-son of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake ( Hussein ) of a devout Muslim. He was registered in school as a Muslim and demonstrated his ability to chant praise to Allah in impressive Arab-accented tones even as an adult. Just as he has not disavowed his uncle Jeremiah, neither has he disavowed his Muslim faith that he was born into, raised with, celebrated and never abandoned. He just covered it over with a thin veneer of his own self-_style_d Christianity. Although as an adult he would register as a Christian, and occasionally attend a Christian Church (but apparently not often enough to listen to the preaching of his pastor, or so he would claim) this was a necessary step for a man who from earliest boyhood has nurtured the precocious ambition to be President of the United States. He was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968, registered under the name Barry Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen whose religion was listed as Islam. Catholic schools accept non-Catholics worldwide. Non-Catholic students are typically excused from religious instruction and ceremony. In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay _title_d 'I Want to Become President.' Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He wrote an essay _title_d, 'I Want To Become President,' the teacher said. [AP, 1/25/07] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16813267/ Three years later, in 1971, Obama enrolled in the Besuki Primary School, a government school, as Barry Soetoro, Muslim. In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay _title_d 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga asked her class to write an essay _title_d 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said. [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07] All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school. http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-p... He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam. In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as a Muslim school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies. http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/ According to Tine Hahiyary, http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-p... one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. I remembered that he had studied mengaji (recitation of the Quran) Tine said. The author of the Laotze blog http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html writes from Jakarta: The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. Mengagi is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes. The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet. As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such. The Obama Campaign told the LA Times http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/179905/campaign_now_says_bar... he wasn't a practicing Muslim. (3/14/2007). But his official website says: Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian (11/12/2007) http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/11/12/obama_has_never_been_... That's not what his friends and classmates have said. Classmate Rony Amiris describes http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-p... young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong, he looked funny, said Rony. Amiris, now the manager of Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time. He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion. So Obama, according to his classmates and friends was a Muslim until the confluence of love and ambitious, caused him to adopt the cloak of Christianity: to marry Michelle and to run for President of the United States. In Dreams, Obama sheds light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently went native. (It was her mother
