1. Christian and not muslim. Get over the Hillary propaganda stuff.
2. Islam.
3. he might be Muslim if these reports are true
4. That's his middle name and he's a Christian. He has that name because he had a kind-of-Muslim father that skipped out when he was like two, so it doesn't mean much. Also he is not Middle-Eastern; his father was from Kenya, in Africa. His mother was from Kansas.
5. KickHillButtism.
6. Christian, I'm assuming.
7. Why does it matter?
8. I think hes a Hindu or maybe a Caribou or a Honda maybe.
9. Obviously Hussein is his middle name. And middle eastern isn't a religion. He's part of a very giddy Black American Christian church. He hails from Hawaii.
10. Christian. And Middle Eastern isn't a religion BTW.
11. Christian ... He is named after his father who is from Kenya. Barack mother is from Kansas. He grew up in Hawaii.
12. From Wikipedia "He joined Trinity United Church of Christ in 1988.[139] A megachurch with 10,000 members, Trinity is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ.[139]"
13. hes muslim
14. you could have searched this question and got 1000 answers. Christian.
15. Hes a closet Muslim........do the research Wikipedia is not a reliable source!!!
16. i really hope you're just a young child asking this question. It's hard for me to believe that there is an adult in this country that doesn't know the answer to this question by now. TV, Radio, Newspapers, Internet. Is it even possible?
17. He consistantly has said he is a Christian. He has belonged to a Christian Church for many, many years. With that said, His church is not your "run of the mill" Christian Church. Although Christian is in it's name... it is a congregation with a goal of Black nationalism.
18. Who cares? Cutls are cults. There's no difference between the muslim cult and the christian cult. They're both guilty of killing millions in the name of some tribal Boogerman God.
19. Dude this question gets asked about 10 times every night. Pay attention please! Obama had a Muslim father, atheist mother and attends a Christian church. I know all this from seeing the same posts about Obama's religion every night and I'm not even an Obama fan. Please quit asking the same questions & get with the program!
20. christian
21. No one knows. He belongs to a racist black church that claims to be christian but they don't behave like it. His relatives are atheists and muslims.
22. He claims he's a Christian, but I can tell he's not. For one thing, look at this: http://www.wnd.com/images/obamakenya.jpg . For another thing, you can look into his eyes and tell he's lying through his teeth. Plus, the guy grew up with his Atheistic mom, who married a Muslim man. Those were the only two religions he knew. But then he wants to be a politician in the U.S. so he picks up Christianity to gain acceptance. I for one, don't believe he's a Christian.
23. Christian is Barack H. Obama religion Huseim is his middle name His parents named him...just as your parents named you WHAT A CRIME people told him... because of HATE CRIME, and FEAR he should change his name... but he did not Which is better... cause then YOU would say he was trying to HIDE SOMETHING
24. Maybe Jehovah like Michael? Obama is like Michael Jackson in the 1980s. It dont matter if you're black or white! Uniting people with his song "We are the world"! Brought people together of all races and nations! People felt good to be multicultural and openminded by supporting a nonwhite! People fainting just to see his white glove! Brooke Shields, Elizabeth Taylor and celebrities wanted to be a part of him. Everyone wanted to be part of something popular.He'd draw millions of people for his concerts. By the way, where is he now?
25. methodist ... that's christian :)
26. This is a legitimate question because we have a right to know about his background, so Obama supporters, do not push this under the rug--just be accurate and honest. He currently attends the Church of Christ in Illinois which the IRS IS NOW INVESTIGATING. Prior to this, he was a practicing Muslim. As a child, he attended both Catholic and Wasabi(Islam) schools. His father and step-father were practicing Muslims.
27. He is, and has always been, a devoted Christian. He belongs to a multiracial Christian church in Chicago.
28. who cares
29. The thing is, you can't be a leader and not know what Islam means. The average Joe pumping gas on Route 66 - okay, not on top of the issue. But there is no way you can be running for President and not know the hell being wreaked on the free and not-so-free world by Islamic jihad. That said, Barack Obama went to a madrassa in Jakarta. A madrassa in a Muslim country. Whether he was devout or secular, he knows what was taught. He knows what is in the Koran. Even if he is ambiguous, he knows the stakes involved. His father was a Every Muslim who left Islam is very definitive about leaving and why. Muslim who took three wives (without divorcing). His stepfather and close members of his family are devout Muslims. Not an unimportant influence. Every Muslim who left Islam is very definitive about leaving and why. They are quite vocal - Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Walid Shoebat, Elijah Abraham, etc. If he left Islam, Obama must have very definite thoughts about it. He has to, he practiced Islam. That is not benign; it's big. And even if, as inferred by big media, it was not big to him, then he can still appreciate how important it is knowing what he knows about Islam and apostasy. Obama would have had to make a decision to reject Islam. When did he make that decision? How? Why the silence? Why the reluctance to talk about it? Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam. Have there been calls for Obama's death? If not, why not? Islam gives no free passes. Obama's posture on this is hard to define or understand, because it is a critical issue. Transitional issues facing this nation and the world at large - the world at war, creeping sharia, the perversion of the rights of free men, individuals, women, etc., hang in the balance on the make up of the next president of the United States. The stakes could not be higher domestically. On foreign policy, Europe has laid down. The political elites have capitulated to Islamists and to multiculturalists. Suicide. It seems unclear that they could hold up their end even if America did the heavy lifting. As far as Israel is concerned, if Obama makes it to the big house, Israel is screwed. Finished. Obama's church and Jew-hating pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., makes that evident. Israel will be on its own. Perhaps that is necessary, though, because it seems they have relinquished their sovereignty to the US and they expect the US to guarantee their security. Ain't never If Obama makes it to the big house, Israel is screwed. gonna' happen. No country, ever, should abdicate its role in protecting and defending itself. Ehud Olmert is on a one-way trip to nowhere. So maybe tough love is necessary, because this relationship is hurting Israel. The recent revelations of Obama's ties to Raila Odinga in Kenya are disconcerting as well, because Odinga is behind the terrible violence in his country. It was he who instigated bloody riots and killing after he lost the election. Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenyan government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge." And while there are few angels in Kenya, Odinga is the source of great unrest and turmoil; and the MOU he signed with the Muslim Council to institute sharia is a foreshadowing of a dark fate for Kenya. (A Jacksonian picked up on my previous post on this and wrote a lengthy, well-researched piece on the politics and back story on Odinga.) Just how quickly will Kenya go Islamic?
30. Christian, but does it really matter?
