Actually, I've no idea whether or not BO is a practicing Muslim, only he knows that, but on the other hand....
Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but that doesn't necessarily make him a Muslim, although some Muslims may disagree. Actually, radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...
Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although possibly not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.
BO and his poorly run campaign tried to frame his childhood story without using the word ‘Muslim’ to describe any part of his upbringing.
The narrative was a tough sell from the start, because both his father and step-father were Muslims and attended their respective mosque for prayers. He points out in his books that his step-father wasn’t a devout Muslim, but he was still a Muslim and not a Christian.
His campaign would have been better off by just acknowledging his Muslim roots and pointing out that he converted to Christianity in his 20s. Instead, they decided that the word ‘Muslim’ was too negative for public consumption, so they did their best to downplay his Muslim roots.
Essentially, BO now looks like he would do anything to get elected and that’s a little disconcerting to most of the electorate. So far, he’s thrown his Muslim roots, his Grandmother, his hateful Reverend Wright, his anti-war supporters and yes, even Hillary Clinton all under the bus. So if you are a true supporter of Barry Obama, you have to be thinking to yourself.. ‘When will it be my turn?’.
Bottomline - there is sufficient doubt to rule him out as a future POTUS and the American people will get that done in November.
