TAQIYAH

The question dejur is: IS OBAMA A MUSLIM?

Obama attended Fransiskus Strada Asisia, a Catholic school from 1967-1970.

Per interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors and friends, Obama was not a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia, but he was registered as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school, Strada Asisia, where he attended first through third grades. In those years, students were registered according to the religion of their fathers, per Israella Pareira Darmawan, Obama's first grade teacher. Since Mr. Soetoro was a Muslim, Obama was listed as a Muslim.

When Obama attended fourth grade in 1971, at the Basuki school (Sekolah Dasar Nasional Menteng No. 1), Muslim children spent two hours a week studying Islam; they learned Islam prayer and religious activities, per Hardi Priyono, the Vice Principal for curriculum.

Reportedly, Obama occasionally accompanied his father, Lolo Soetoro , to the mosque for Friday prayers. It is said by neighbors that Mr. Soetoro was usually too busy working, first for the Indonesian army and then later for a western oil company, to attend mosque. Fermina Katarina, Obama's third grade teacher, states that Mr. Soetoro, rarely socialized with people, even at the mosque. Mr. Soetoro's friends said, at the time of Mr. Soetoro's death in 1987, that he was more of a free spirit than a devout Muslim. His nephew, Sonny Trisulo, said that Soetoro always liked women and alcohol. (*from what I understand, Muslims forbid the use of alcohol, so this doesn't paint the picture of a devout Muslim to me.)

Then there is the statement from Zulfan Adi, a former playmate of Obama's that Obama REGULARLY attended prayers with Mr. Soetoro.

These inconsistent reports..."no he wasn't a regularly practicing Muslim", "...yes he was a regularly practicing Muslim"...seem strangely consistent with Obama. "Yes he is a Muslim..." "No he is not a Mulsim"...all by design? What is that they say..." ...a moving target is hard to hit..?" Is the best defense...CONFUSION?

So, does ANY of this information matter? YES. IF Obama was once a Muslim and is what HE now claims "a committed Christian" (THAT is yet another subject altogether), he is now what Islamic Law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. As he now sits in our White House, this presents large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world. Apply this to Obama's apology tour to the mid-East, his bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia and his constant appeasement of the Muslims..just WHO is he trying to save?

We all know that Obama sat in the pews of Reverend Wright's church for twenty years. We all heard Obama's declarations of friendship with Reverend Wright. A man who spouts racist and anti-American rhetoric on a regular basis. Yet, Obama claims to have heard none of this? Right. Perhaps Obama suffers from hearing loss? Perhaps he is not so intelligent after all and did not comprehend what he was hearing?

I have seen a video of Obama referring to his Muslim faith, family and friends. I have seen a video of his claim to being a "committed Christian". BUT, the video that sticks most in my mind that belies his claim to Christianity, is the one in which he mocks the Bible. I am 63 years old. I am a Christian. Do I know the Bible, no. I have had some Bible study. I know parts of it. Do I believe what is written in it? Yes, I do. Every single word of it. Do I still attend church every Sunday? No. Would I stand up and mock even one passage of the BIble? NEVER. To my way of thinking..NO Christian would EVER do that. I personally believe that Obama is a Muslim, but that is my opinion. But, even if he is not, the ONE thing I know he IS NOT...all confusion wiped away...he is NOT a Christian.

Some say the faith of the person sitting in the Oval Office is not that important. I say it is VITAL. Our country was founded upon Christian principles. Our LAWS are based upon the Ten Commandments. How can it be NOT IMPORTANT? Apply the fact, for argument's sake, that Obama is NOT a Christian to the fact that our laws are based upon the Ten Commandments. Would this not explain his disregard for our laws? His use of them only as a means to an end, for HIM and his agenda? Our Constitution invokes our Christian principles. Obama has stated that he views our Constitution as, basically, a worthless piece of paper, no longer meaningful. Would a Christian leader take that stand? No.

Ok. So. What IF Obama IS a Muslim? What IF he sneaks off to a mosque for prayer? What IF he believes in Islam? Why would he deny it all? TAQIYAH.

TAQIYAH: THE PRACTICE OF DENYING ONE'S RELIGION, PERSMISSIBLE WHEN ONE IS FACED WITH PERSECUTION; REGARDED AS A MEANS OF PROTECTING THE RELIGION.

The practice of Taqiyah is used by the Shi'ites. In case of danger, they dissimulate their religion and hide their particular religious and ritual practices from their opponents.

The practice of Taqiyah is based upon the verse of the Qu'ran: "Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preferences to believers. Who so doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless it be that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying." (lll 28).

"As is clear from this sacred verse, God, the Most Exhalted, forbids with the utmost emphasis wilayah (meaning in this case friendship and amity to the exten that it affects one's life) with un-believers and orders man to be wary and have fear in such a situation."

"In another place, Allah says, "Who so disbelieveth in Allah after his belief-save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with Faith-but who so findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom" (Qu'ran, XVI, 106)."

So. This is WHY Obama would lie about his Muslim faith...using his LIES and us. But, it begs the question..has Obama become comfortable in Taqiyah? Has he "feel ease in disbelief"? IF so..according to the Qu'ran...he is in biggggggggggggggg trouble with Allah!

Now, you have some information. Apply it in your thought processes. I have my opinion...based upon this and what I have seen and heard FROM Obama. Remember, you can hear his words..but watch his hands at all times. The truth of anyone does not appear in their words but their deeds. Deeds come from the heart...be they good or be they bad.
