Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a Muslim

[GaryC 7]

Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to refer, because they have no doubt -- contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, "Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background. In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya."

The Obama brothers' father, a senior economist for the Kenyan government who studied at Harvard University, died in car crash in 1982. He left six sons and a daughter. All of his children - except Malik -- live in Britain or the United States. Malik and Barack met in 1985 in the US.

"He was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his," said Malik in a 2004 interview with an AP reporter. Their paternal grandfather, Onyango Hussein Obama, was one of the first Muslim converts in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Malik said."

In a remarkable denial issued last November that still stands on the official campaign website, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs issued a statement explaining that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."

Apparently Malik Obama, himself a Muslim, had not read the press release.

Melanie Phillips is the most recent commentator to draw attention to the massive body of evidence that leaves no doubt that Barak Hussein Obama was born a Muslim (Islam is patrilineal) and raised a Muslim (so registered in school, acknowledging attending Islamic classes, reported accompanying his step-father to the mosque, and able to recite the Koran in the original Arabic).

Reuven Koret, Aaron Klein and Daniel Pipes have previously pointed to the attempts by Obama and his campaign to conceal the candidate's Muslim background. The well documented evidence draws upon the on-the-ground interviews by researchers in Indonesia and Kenya, published quotations of Obama's childhood friends and his school records, as well as the candidate's own autobiography.

It is not clear whether Barack Obama will now disown his half-brother Malik for acknowledging that shared family background. In any case, some one should notify "Fight the Smear" tout de suite. Perhaps they can get him with the program.

Is that what he did is it...? Interesting reading of the story...

Obama's Brother Chooses Life in Slow Lane

It was in the United States, in 1985, that he first met his 43-year-old half-brother Barack.

"He was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his," said Malik, who likes to point out that his younger brother's name is actually Barack Obama II, because their father was the original Barack Obama.

Their paternal grandfather, Onyango Hussein Obama, was one of the first Muslim converts in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Malik said. However, not all of his descendants are Muslim, Malik added. Barack is Christian.

He won't. It's all he's got.

I thought this issue was settled.

Obama isn't a Muslim. He was a member of the whacked out Trinity Unity Church and quit when his political advisers wised him up. Obama's doesn't need a new church since he's already the messiah.

Send out the collection plate.

Its bloody silly.

Look at the 4th paragraph in the OP article and compare it to the quoted section of the MSNBC article. Do you think the writer cut out that second sentence for a reason?

So his half-brother is a Muslim, just like McCain is associated with The Right-Wing Christian coalition? The Christian coalition, now there are some good old boys you want to run the country

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

All this proves is that some of the people who are vehemently anti-Obama apparently don't a great deal of fact-checking - and aren't afraid to let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Just a cheap point scoring exercise. Pretty childish at the end of the day.

This would make Obama a former Muslim and an apostate. The penalty for that is DEATH per 'the Religion of Peace'.
