1. doesnt the news reach hillbilly states.
2. Even I can tell you that he's not of Muslim nationality, because there's no such thing!!!! I have no clue about this guy, and have little interest but a religion does not define a nationality.
3. Erm... Muslim is not a nationality it is a religion. I believe his father is muslim but not sure.
4. yes , his father is from kenya my personal opinion: i think hes muslim and wont admit it coz itll be the end of his bid on the whitehouse
5. He was brought up Muslim when his family lived in Indonesia. Don't know if he still follows that faith.
6. His father is from Kenya. His mother is a white woman from Ks he was born and gree up in HI. He has been a member of the same CHRISTION CHURCH since grade school
7. No, and his father was from Kenya. There's a whole discussion of this in the below link.
8. His father is from Kenya, which is in East Africa. Kenya is NOT a Muslim country. Almost everyone there is Christian, mostly Catholic.
9. Even if he is muslim, why are u so afraid. Remmember, ISLAM is the same religion of Abraham, Jesus, Moses, Daniel, David, Noah and all the prophets of God before Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him. Infact, Prophet Abraham peace be upon him, was the first to coin the term "MUSLIM"
10. Since Musl is not not a country, Muslim is not a nationality. Therefore we can logically conclude that Barack Obama is not of Muslim Nationality. Islam is a religion, and it's followers are called Muslims or Muslimas if they are women. Barack Obama is not a follower of Islam there fore he is not a Muslim, matter of fact he is of christian nationality, oops! I mean religion. Barack Obama's father is a Kenyan Muslim. Muslim meaning he is a man who believes in the teachings of Islam (a religion), who is also from the country of Kenya. That means he is of Kenyan nationality, since unlike Musl and Christiandom, Kenya is a country.
11. Muslim is not a nationality, it's the word used to indicate someone who follows the Islamic faith. Barack Obama is an African American.
12. He's Christian and his father (deceased) was a Muslim from Kenya, if I remember correctly. Although I'm not supporting Obama, I can't see how either thing is relevant to the election.
13. Heres some food for thought for all of you who LOVE Obama? Who is Barack Obama? Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim From Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He Is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school." Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya Soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over His son's education. Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim and the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama ha s joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level.
14. You might want to read his autobiography. His dad was Kenyan but he was brought up by his mum as his parents split up when he was young. I am sure these questions are being asked by people grasping at straws to find a reason to discount him as deserving to be the next American president. Bill Clinton's ancestors came form Ireland and I am sure all of you Americans can trace your history elsewhere. Why cant you just look at the qualities of the man not his nationality (and by the way he is American) or try and align him with Islam so you can have a reason to feed your fears. You are so lucky to have a potential president who can unite people across the ethinic, religious and political devide. Maybe for a change the America can bring hope and peace rather than be the war monger it is.
15. He was born in Hawaii which makes his nationality American. There is no such thing as a "Muslim nationality". There are countries who have Islam as the state religion. That's irrelevant as far as Obama is concerned because he is a Christian. His father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas.
16. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. His Father, from Kenya, and yes, is muslim. Barack Obama Jr. claims however, to be Christian... so yea...
17. Muslim is not a nationality. He is currently Christian. His ancestry is part white and part Kenyan.
