According to islam, if your father is a muslim when you are born, you are a muslim. Whether Obama considers himself a muslim or not anymore does not matter to the islamic world, they still consider him a muslim. The ramifacations of this could be potentially tremendously dangerous.
Obama, whatever he claims now, was a muslim at one time and he denies ever having been one. Considering the islamic practice of deception(Taqiyya)again not a very comforting thing.
His first father, who abondoned him was a muslim as was his stepfather.
As a young child when he came back to the US he used the name Barry instead of Barrack. It was not until many years later when he went back to insisting on being called Barrack instead of Barry.
If you attend an islamic school you will recite the shahada, no matter what age. Again, according to islam this automatically makes you a muslim.
Personally, I believe he is still a muslim and is decieving us, I actually believe he is the anti-Christ, hey, but that's just me.
I could care less that he is half black, I would support Alan Keyes, someone like Thomas Sowell, etc. It is more about ideology, not skin color. Not to mention Obama is nothing more than a spineless opportunist. He is half white, raised by his white mother, neither of his black father's stuck around to long but yet in his book he disparages the white part of his race. He swears not to be a muslim then has his campaign target mosques.
Not to mention, other than the juvenille nonsense rallying cry of "change, change, change" exactly what are his plans, propposals, policies, etc. It is like listening to a third grader in a beauty pageant, I want peace in the world and for everybody to be happy and cotton candy for everyone.
I do hate Obama, not because he is black, or half black, but because he is either a decieving muslim or a supreme socialist, either one not good for me and not good for America.
Erica, about sex education, I partially agree with you. As a parent it is your choice and your responsibility how and when to teach your own kids about sex. This also means that the schools should not be teaching it as this negates the rights of the parent to teach when and what they choose. If parent 1 wants to wait until their child is 13 and parent 2 wants to teach their child at 6 the schools have no business deciding which parent is right or wrong.
Five kids, wow, good luck with them. How do you find the time to spend here with five kids. I have two and time is hard to come by. Whatever anyone here thinks of each others opinions please always keep them as your first priority.
