AS a schoolboy in Jakarta, Barack Obama attended Muslim prayer sessions with his classmates against the wishes of his mother.
The US President’s former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama – who was known as “Barry” when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta – studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Ann Dunham, a Catholic.
The teacher’s recollections will add to speculation about Mr Obama’s links to Islam during his much-anticipated visit to Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, as part of his ten-day tour of Asia.
His middle name, Hussein, and the fact that his stepfather was a Muslim, have combined to perpetuate rumours about Mr Obama’s religious leanings. The number of Americans who think that he is a Muslim has grown since his inauguration to one in five.
Mr Obama moved to Indonesia with his mother and Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, when he was 6, and lived there for four years. In his memoirs he recalled his time in the country as the “bounty of a young man’s life” and there is affection and pride among Indonesians for the boy who ended up as President of the United States.

Why oh why in the wide wide world would a Catholic want to marry a Muslim? Confusion begats confusion.
It is widely known that Stanley Ann Dunham was an ATHEIST.
Not only was his Mother an atheist, but his Daddy was too. This is all he knew growing up. But what white woman in her right mind would shack with a black man from Africa in the first place. Only goes to show you… she either thought she was not good enough for white men or she wanted to appear ‘better’ than the black/brown men she chose. Either way… His daddy was an Atheist as well as his Mom… so what can you expect him to be…. nothing more than a fake Christian so he could become what he is today.
I am sure Barry is more muslim than he would like to admit but who can tell when he won't even fess up to who he is and mutters half truths about every subject you approach him on. He just did it again while traveling on the tax dime in Inja and Indonesia……This won't be going on for much longer, Barry has lost a lot of wagons that have circled him and Eric Holder for the last eighteen months and these two lads are in for a rude awakening by the conservative judges on the SCOTUS, they have a bone to pick and I don't think they will take no for a answer.
Of course he is Muslim. He actually thinks the Cleric call to pray, one of the most annoying things next to Celine Dion singing, is actually a beautiful sound. Only a Muslim would think that.
Still asone who still would appreciate the American legal system doing it's job, I want to see him in court and on the stand….. From: notifications@intensedebatemail.comTo: l66online@msn.comSubject: Craig replied to your comment on Barack Obama joined Muslim prayers at school, teacher says
Phew!! I'll be glad when this character is shown the way out of town. As far as my estimation goes, he's not our president, but a well oiled plant. And we all sat back and saw him start, and almost finish the existance of America as we know it. Screw him and his bunch of communist minded dummies. i doubt if he'll be around much more, and things will struggle back to 'NORMAL" again in several hard years. He has to be made to suffer though for being such a low life traitor.
How much evidence would it take to prove BHO is clearly Muslim…although I suppose there are some who would deny it Obama himself proclaimed it. And, btw his assertion of converting to Christianity by way of his practice of Black Liberation Theology…a group joined at the hip to Islam, only serves to reinforce the fact Obama is Muslim. He was born Muslim and will die Muslim.
Well of course he did. That's what Muslims do.
What's he need a tour for? He lived there for Muslim sake.
Hasn't he discovered phone conferencing?
I'm sick of paying for their vacations. I have NEVER had a vacation. single and no money for one.
Too bad we Americans cannot force him to pay use back for the $$$ he wastes on his vacations. Not like he works enough to warrant a vacation. Campaigning ain't work.
We know that he is part muslim or maybe all muslim because in the muslim religion lying is accepted if your talking to infidels.Besides every time he goes to a raghead country he's bowing or apologizeing for some thing America did in his eyes or maybe his big ears.
Obama is probably going to Indonesia to renew his passport.
He went to India to hide the evidence of all the corruption in his administration. Why else would he go to that crap hole?
America why is difficult to impeach muslim kenyan marxist professor Obama? I will tell you why.
First marxist Obama is president of USA Corporation not USA president. Democrat and republican are
puppets of USA Corporation Federal. America learn about the reel Republic july4,1776. You will see America has been dupe. Go back and you will see many errors done to us because of ours complacencies
Be free, get the truth the whole truth. Look out about the true Republic july 4,1776.

Ann Durham was an atheist just like her Mom and Dad. They introduced Obama to Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed communist to mentor Obama because he had no father figure in the house. Some father figure Davis turned out to be. That is why Obama is the ideologue he is today. Nice tutoring on Davis' part.
no doubt in my mind that he is a muslim , every move he makes at every opportunity he gets is to support the muslims and if you work in his admin you will be gone should you utter the words "muslim terrorist"……a lot of voters were snookered last time but it will not happen again
Good Grief! If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, has feathers like a duck, IT IS A DUCK! Barack Hussein Obama is a MUSLIM! He ADMITTED AS MUCH IN HIS BOOK "Dreams of My Father"! When he said: "IF THE POLITICAL WINDS GROW UGLY I WILL SIDE WITH THE MUSLIMS"! In addition he bowed before the King of Saudia Arabia, When he visited the Muslim countries, his wife was in Europe, and not with him, the practice of Islam is if the wife is not MUSLIM she cannot accompany her husband to ISLAMIC COUNTRIES! ANY REASONABLY INTELLIGENT PERSON DOES NOT NEED AN INTERPRETER TO TELL THEM HE IS A MUSLIM !
He attended a Catholic school for part of the time that he was in Indonesia. His mother was a known atheist… not a Catholic.
More fabricated rubbish.
Barry is a communist agent who simply uses Islam to erode western civilization.
Max;
I believe ( He ) is a Muslim….for one thing and would bet he is NOT an American citizen…and does not belong in the White House….He does not like America….Why are people puzzled by his actions..He has a plan to ….DESTROY THE UNITED STATES….and he is right on schedule…I wish the first order of business of the Reps…would be to ….IMPEACH HIM and throw him out of our country..Until he is gone …America will never get back to business……
USA TRAITORS HANG THEM HIGH FINAL
Now that would send a clear message to congress. I like it.
The House is extremely unlikely to impeach him, and even if they did it would take a 2/3 vote of the Democratic-controlled Senate to remove him from office. And Congress has no power to "throw him out of the country."
Obama is a secular humanist. His mother was a communist, and she might have been raised a Catholic, but she wasn't Catholic.
This one is too easy. Any sentient thinking human being would already know the answer to this. Why does the press keep talking about it?
He is not only a Muslim, he is also Anti-American, & an Illegal in the Presidents Office, who along with the likes of Pelosi, Reid, & others, is purposely trying to take down the USA. It amazes me, how many people just don't get it. The SOB was born in KENYA !!!
His mother was an atheist, not a Catholic. Her parents and she also "worshipped" at the "Red Church on the Hill in Washington State – the religion was Communism. Barrack Hussein's mother met his father in a Russian Language class in Hawaii. Who wanted to speak Russian in the 60's? People who revered Lenin, Marx, Mao, Cuba, Castro, and Communism.
I am sure that he knows all about being a muslin. More truth will come out with time. It has to be causting him much to keep any real records from getting out. I am sure there are alot of folks getting paid good to keep their traps shut. Time willtell
Is the great Barry a Muslim? You bet your life and it will most likely be your life at stake if this alien, Muslim has his way in destroting America from within and the morons in our country are too deaf & blind to hear & see it. Morons, all!!
Barack H. Obama is only Mentally Ill if one uses the MEDICAL MODEL, as a paradigm!__In reality he is a NATURAL MAN UNREDEEMED, He has been taught at the MADRASSA to HATE JEWS and to seek their anniliation! He has clearly stated: "IF THE POLITICAL WINDS GROW UGLY, I WILL SIDE WITH THE MUSLIMS"! WHAT MORE DOES ANY THINKING PERSON NEED KNOW ABOUT THIS MAN WHEN ANYONE CAN SEE HIS ACTIONS, all point to his following the ISLAMIC RELIGION! He clearly hates the United States of America, and is committed to totally destroying the GREATEST COUNTRY to have ever GRACED THIS EARTH! In the two years he has been in office he has completed 50% of his MISSION! ELECT him ANOTHER four (4) years and his mission will be completed!
DOUBT THAT? RE-ELECT HIM AND be READY to RECEIVE YOUR CHAINS!
