The Obama Muslim Shell Game: Catholic School Docs Show Obama Registered As Muslim

2007-01-30 -- USA Religious News


WASH—Jan 25—DJNS—Associated Press has revealed that Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States, attend a Catholic school in Indonesia registered as a Muslim, further clouding the issue of where Obama was schooled in Indonesia and when. Obama, by his own admission in books that he has written, has said that he attended a Catholic school and a Muslim school while living in Indonesia with his atheist mother and Muslim stepfather. But now that Fox News reported that Obama may have been indoctrinated in Islamic teachings while attending the Muslim school in Indonesia , he and his handlers have gone spinning the story to the news media, and their stories do not match up.

Obama is claiming that the allegations by Fox are “scurrilous” and that he believes people “recognize that the notion that me going to school in Indonesia for two years at a public school there at the age of 7 and 8 is probably not going to be endangering in some way the people of America.” Associated Press is reporting that the Muslim school Obama attended is a public school, open to people of all faiths—this according to the spokesman for Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious affairs who goes only by the name of “Sutopo.” Records show that Obama attended a Catholic school first and then the Muslim school. When he was ten years old, he moved to Hawaii and attended a private secular school.

There are many holes in Obama’s story. First, if he attended the Muslim school when he was seven and eight, which school did he attend when he was nine and ten, if he first attended the Catholic school? There appears to be a gap in his education or a miscommunication about what school he attended and when he attended it. Associated Press reports that Obama’s mother relocated to Indonesia from 1967-71 after marrying Obama’s Muslim step-father—who Obama claims was no longer Muslim, but an atheist. The Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where Obama first attended school, enrollment documents, however, show Obama enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.

Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs says he isn’t sure why the Catholic school document had Obama listed as a Muslim. Gibbs told AP, “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.” While the spokesman is denying that Obama was never a Muslim, Obama, himself, has not publicly said he was never and is not now a Muslim.

4. Wow....I don't know many six year olds who are professed Christians.
There's something called the 'age of accountability.' I guess that's only for Christians, though. :sarcasm:

9. The only thing I professed at age six
was a preference for Chocolate over Vanilla. I never did like Strawberry; I guess that makes me ineligible to run for President. :)

Age of accountability, oh yeah, I remember that from Catholic School: Seven Years Old.

6. His parents registered him at the school
His father is Muslim, hismother is Athiest.
His parents most likely used his fathers religion when they registered him.

note: Jerry Falwell's father was an Atheist. Is there anyone living today who would say Jerry is one too.
This is an assanine argument brought up by desperate people.

8. Actually, this could turn damaging. I don't care if he were Muslim
but middle America might , as well as the "religious " vote he is attempting to court.There needs to be a clear definative statement issued one way or another otherwise this will blow up like swiftboaters!~
