How many times (as a youth) did Barack Hussein Obama pray to Mecca?
We all know that he joined a church at the age of 27 because it was politically expedient to do so, but my question goes back further than that.
When BHO was growing up in Kenya and Indonesia, where his father was Muslim, his stepfather was Muslim, his Grandmother was Muslim, his school registration had him being Muslim. How many times did he pray to Mecca?
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.
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 Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
From a story quoting a LA Times article that is no longer available:
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played, said Zulfin Adi, who describes himself as among Obama's closest childhood friends.
"His mother often went to the church, but Barry was Muslim. He went to the mosque," Adi said.

To the poster that believes Islam and Christianity share the same God: Go to Mecca and tell that to an Islamic Cleric and see if you still keep your head.
Allah =/= Jehovah.
There are too many details to go to in here, suffice to say, you should look it up and discover for yourself.
Why is it inconsiderate to refer to a candidate by his middle name? Ever hear of William Jefferson Clinton? How about John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Why is Barack afraid?
