Do you believe Obama?

he says he was never a Muslim and he never prayed in a Temple....

But records prove differently.

http://www.danielpipes.org/article/5286

How can you support someone that lies about his past as much as this guy does?

Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, "I've always been a Christian" and "I've never practiced Islam." The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that "Obama never prayed in a mosque."

Update:

uh, System Orange,

no one said Islam and Muslem in the same breath....

Nice reading abilities....

Update 2:

Oh, people don't get me wrong....I could care less if he is Muslim....it is the CONSTANT LIES that I can't stand!

He has been caught in so many lies, he can't even defend himself.

I really hope McCain calls him on all of his shady friends too.....

    No. I believe Obama is a Muslim. That is why in his book he said he would stand with his Muslim brothers in times of trouble. I wouldn't say that because I'm not a Muslim. I think he is a practicing Muslim and if Obama wins, he will announce after the election that he is a Muslim and he knew that Americans would be too racist and prejudiced to vote for him if he told us the truth before the election. Does the White House face east? That will be important. Oh, I think he prayed in a mosque and I think he has his own prayer rug, too.

    Obama is too boring and conventional. He won't stray much from the status quo because it's not in his personality. He is a conventional, no-risk, no reward type of person. McCain, however, wants to shake things up...when he gets spirited it's really infectious! He's fun, he wants to make a name for himself as a good president and help the country even if it means going against the grain.

    I cannot support anyone to be presient who wrote any of this:

    This guy wants to be President & Head the US government. Pay close attention to the last comment!!

    Below are a few lines from Obama's books " his words:

    From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my

    mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to

    suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to

    whites."

    From Dreams of My Father : "I found a solace in

    nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity

    against my mothers race."

    From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about

    him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself,

    maybe. And white."

    From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to

    prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to

    the black masses, to strike out and name names."

    From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men

    and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It

    was into my father's image, the black man, son of

    Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought

    in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm,

    DuBois and Mandela."

    From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims

    should the political winds shift in an ugly

    direction."

    he changed his religion in college after he went to his birth place and came back Barack Hussein Obama, instead of Barry Soetoro; just like Cassius Clay changed his to Muhammad Ali when he changed his religion'

    The name change proves it, but his name should be Teflon Obama, because nothing sticks to him

    I believe Barrack Hussein Obama is a Muslim extremist, if that's what you're asking.

    Obama said "If I were Muslim, I would let you know." and i think that only corresponds with present times, yes he was raised muslim so does that make him a bad person? NO! That was the way he was raised, he couldn't help that, but after his father left he was converted to christianity with his maternal side.

    There is a problem with traditional Islam, but it doesn't concern converting in but rather converting out. Classical Islam allows voluntary entry into Islam, but once you're in you cannot leave. Indeed the traditional remedy for apostasy is death. Radical Islam reads convert or die. If he is alive he is Muslim! Just the Facts

    No, because Obama and his website have been caught in too many lies.

    Obama in his own words said yesterday that he wanted to spread the wealth around. That is the first and only time I have believed anything he has said.
