Sen. Barrack Hussein Obama:
Muslim or not?


Sen. Barack Hussein Obama, a major presidential contender (for 2008), does it matter if he is a Muslim or not? Should it matter? Plus he is Black, should that matter? If you are saying it shouldn’t, why is he hiding or eliminating his middle name (is he not proud of his father’s given name?), and of course, he cannot hide the second one. But is he a Muslim. We all know who the other contenders religion preferences are; but we remain in a mysterious bubble over Mr. Hussein Obama. I know the Islamic world is holding their breath so he is elected, I wonder why? I could not say if Obama was a Muslim some folks say yes, others say no, not sure of anything and that is the problem (and to my understanding, once a Muslim, always a Muslim): should we be worried about this? I’m a Christian, and if I was to be president of Iran, should they worry about me? (Yes!!) That might be on the other side of the coin. Mrs. Ferraro, evidently spoke the unforgivable word, Muslim. Not sure what the hype is, do we learn this secret after he is president, then it is ok to say “I am what I am?” This is far from a race issue; it is a comment, and true one. The American people want to see whom they are voting for; this is not Peru, Russia or China, Iran, whom you find out after the fact. We react to whom we are and our beliefs. We can say all we want about separation of state and religion, but it remains a fabric in our fiber. Obama says he is a Christian, and perhaps we should leave it at that, but if your father was a Muslim, then according to Islamic law, so are you, and to go against that is apostate: so American’s need a clear cut statement, no surprises. So it is an issue that needs to be put to the burner, and put to rest, because Muslims do not think the same way Christians do, especially in decision making, and we are influenced by who we are, and who our parents are.
Not to get off the subject of Osama’s roots, but I doubt either Clinton or Obama will be elected as president, the best choice was for them to run together I think; not that I like the republican side more, but you got to pick someone, the best of the worse, or if it was an illness, cancer or aids, that is what we are coming down to in this presidential election. He has informed the Muslims he will stop the war in Iraq, within 60-days of his elected presidency. Not sure if that is good or bad either, it might help the dollar, and it might kill a lot of Iraqi’s and it might leave a hole for Iran to crawl through to Iraq, and play god.
Perhaps Obama, can denounce Islam like the Pope did; or denounce Islamic law on apostasy as barbaric and anti-American, which is more than truthful, and then I’d feel safer in adding him in to my not so good selection for President of the United States. I wish Rice was running, put this all to rest.
