Here’s a riddle for you: what do cartoon character Charlie Brown and Obama have in common? The answer will be found in just a few more paragraphs…
I have been impressed with the information regarding Obama’s background in the recent five-part series published in The Washington Times written by Middle East and Islam specialist Daniel Pipes. His series documents evidence from Obama’s childhood that points to his Muslim identity. To summarize some examples…
In the second article in his series, dated September 11, 2012, Mr. Pipes states that “the record points to Barack Obama having been born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and having lived for four years in a fully Muslim milieu under the auspices of his Muslim Indonesian stepfather. For these reasons, those who knew Mr. Obama in Indonesia considered him a Muslim”.
In the fifth installment of the series, Mr. Pipes goes on to say that Obama’s first-grade teacher at Santo Fransiskus Assisi Catholic School in Indonesia, Israella Dharmawan, told Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times that “at that time, Barry was also praying in a Catholic way, but Barry was Muslim…He was registered as a Muslim because his father, Lolo Soetoro, was Muslim.”. Later in the same article Mr. Pipes declares that an administrator at Besuki Public School, Akhmaad Solikhin, said of Obama that “he indeed was registered as Muslim, but he claims to be Christian” (this quote was edited, Mr. Pipes states, for clarity). The article further asserts that “…even at the tender ages of 6 through 10” Obama “…sought to combine his maternal and paternal religions into a personal, syncretic whole, presenting himself as both Christian and Muslim. In subtle ways, he still does just that”. And further, “Mr. Obama was born
and raised a Muslim and retained a Muslin identity until his late 20’s” But most importantly, Mr. Pipes goes on to say that “This is not to say that he was a practicing Muslim or that he remains a Muslim today – much less an Islamist – nor that his Muslim background significantly influences his political outlook”, but that “Mr. Obama has specifically and repeatedly lied about his Muslim identity. More than any other single
deception, Mr. Obama’s treatment of his own religious background exposes his moral failings”.
The just-released movie, “2016: Obama’s America” is creating some controversy. Obama is portrayed as a product of his Kenyan father’s anti-colonialism beliefs. Obama himself has been influenced since his days as a student – not by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, – but by several mentors well-known for their Marxist views. These views have helped to form our President as he is today. His father’s dreams of America were not the dreams of our country’s Founding Fathers.
