How could President Obama be a Christian?
President Obama went to Muslim schools in Indonesia. Since his early years in Harvard law school he has been wearing a ring that says "there is no god except Allah." and he wears that ring today.
And finally and most scary in his own words from his book of "Audacity of hope" he says...
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction".
He sounds like a Muslim and they hate Christians and Jews.

He is not a Christian he is a Muslim loving politician which means he does not have any religion but what he wants as a political person. though his actions do support his being Muslim he is still nothing but a lying cheating stealing politician

Incorrect on all counts.
He went to a school in Indonesia, because that's where he lived - pretty much all schools there are Muslim oriented, because it's a Muslim nation....and if you notice, it was a unisex school. True Muslim schools (that teach fundamental Muslim principles) are segregated.
His ring says no such thing - that's an outright lie, and you should recant that statement now.
Oh, and the quote you gave from his book is also false. I suggest you retract that too. Otherwise you're nothing more than a total and utter liar.
EDIT:
Still waiting for your retraction.
And to the people who thumbed my response down, please message me and explain why.
EDIT:
@2FollowHim: You missed the point - the submitter of this question has blatantly lied. Most reasonable people do not tolerate lies about anyone.
That's a fact by the way - the quote he posted from Obama's book is absolutely false. Look it up. He doesn't mention Muslims in that part of the book. People who are actually speakers/readers of the Arabic language have debunked the claim that he has anything at all written on his ring. It's just a squiggle. And the claim about the Muslim school was false, because a true Muslim school is not unisex....and Obama's school was.

The actual quote from the book “Audacity of Hope” is from page 261 and is as follows: “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

It's interesting to me how people could say just about ANYTHING about
and AGAINST M. Romney but people DARE not say anything against
Obama.
Why is that? Why the dual rule here?
I like you will speak because that is what we can do.
Does President Obama believe in Jesus Christ? Does He believe that
Jesus came, died, and resurrected? Does he ONCE ever say anything
to that effect?
Well, he's sure said lots against Christianity ....ooh, can't say that, can I?
But he spoke about his mother that ...paraphrase here...she had BETTER
be in heaven, or he would have nothing to do with God....he said it far
better than that, of course.
Did you know that children couldn't even GET into Indonesia back then
if they were American? Yet Barack not only got in but then enrolled
into a Muslim school.
True, his mother was pantheist or just atheist, and 2nd father was
a quasi Muslim according to videos/reports...people can google this
who are so concerned.
Did you know about Obama's nanny? Look that up.
Look into 'askmarion' and learn more about all this.
We see his stance by how he reacts to Lybia and how he reacted
to the film about Muhammad. Do we see an American view in this?
I do not see an American view at all.
I do not see a Christian view at all, and that's OK, fine.
I just hope I don't see a Muslim view, and I think I do see that.
I hope we stop seeing that, that universities will not favor prayer areas for
Muslims while not paying attention to the founding religion, Christianity.
Things are heating up, we can feel this, it is getting quite ...nasty.

His father was actually an atheist, but even though Obama was born in america he was taken to some schools in other counties that were muslim.
His mother is a christian, and when she brought him back to america he was then put into christian schools.
He has chosen to be a christian not a muslim.
Even if he was a muslim, which he is not, what is the difference.
So what?
So what if he was an atheist .
Being a christian does not make anyone a better person nor more inherently trustworthy.
However the fact is he is a chistian, and you really are intolerant.

"Alright Steempy! I've had enough of your hiJINX!"
Seriously thugh, does it matter? Nothing you said is proven, for one thing. If he did in fact say, "I will stand with the Muslims", couldn't that simply mean he doesn't want them persecuted as you are suggesting here? I think you are sad that Romney didn't win because like many Christians, you have been brought up to believe that GOP stands for "God's Only Party". And that's sad, because now we've got another 4 years of pulling our hair out trying to reason with wackos who refuse to use the rational hemisphere of their "god-given" brains. Unlike you, I think ALL religions are insane. But at least I'm willing to concede that it has no bearing on how Obama runs the country. Want to know what would help? Solidarity.

a million. elementary reality. global peace will be tied on to funds. 2. u . s . a . is and could be a sovereign united states. different presidents, both liberal and conservative, have borrowed great sums from different international locations, and run up insane deficits. 3. Wall street and the sub-good housing marketplace did extra to interrupt our economy, and the funds fee, than the different ingredient. yet another ingredient which will make contributions to economic woes is the former head of the Fed reducing charges of interest, which will deliver about hyper inflation. most of the challenge is inherited, and we've not started to ensure how any present day action will impression the destiny. 4. for sure the alternative for legal abortion might want to proceed to be as such. Banning gay marriage is unconstitutional, because it discriminates adversarial to a collection of tax paying voters. "Affirmative action for Muslim human beings"? grant a source that couldn't affiliated with Alex Jones or David Icke. 5. in accordance to the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by technique of both Washington and Adams, and ratified by technique of Congress "the U. S. is in no way a christian united states". get over it. 6. sarcastically, if the U. S. authorities ever makes the nationwide Day of Prayer an formally said holiday, it turns into secular, by technique of way of the first modification. 7. No faith might want to impression political or governmental coverage. 8. it is your suitable. 9. He hasn't been in workplace lengthy sufficient yet for me to cost him. for each decision he's made that I trust, he's made one I disagree with. Frankly, i did not vote for him or McCain, on condition that i did not take care of both of their political reviews. although, on condition that he gained the election, particularly, i'm prepared to grant him the prospect to tutor me incorrect. more beneficial than some thing, we choose a replace in our nationwide paradigm, because the former way of questioning brought about our present day issues. possibly (and that i do advise possibly), Obama can deliver that about. EDIT: Your argument neglects the very incontrovertible reality that the tax-paying persons who're being discriminated adversarial to are also consenting adults. comparing it to incestuous relationships is stupid, because the regulations concerning to incest are to stay away from genetic ailments (a gay relationship would not contain passing on genetic cloth, so that is a weak argument).

"Since his early years in Harvard law school he has been wearing a ring that says "there is no god except Allah." and he wears that ring today."
That is a direct lie.

The quote ("I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction") has already been debunked by snopes.com. It's a misrepresentation.

They don't hate Christians and Jews. Muslims, Christians, and Jews share the same principal beliefs. Did you know the word "Allah" just means God in Islam? Did you know Jesus is a prophet in the Quran? Did you know that Muhammad seen the same angel, Gabriel that the Virgin Mary seen? There are hate groups in any extremist religion. But please, do some more research.
