Malik Obama: "My Brother Will Be Good For Jews Despite His Muslim Background"

Nuance?
Barack Obama's brother Malik told the Jews not to worrry that Barack will be a good president for the Jewish people, "despite his Muslim background."

Malik Obama, older brother to Barack Obama, holds an undated picture of Barak, left, and himself, middle, and an unidentified friend in his shop in eastern Kenya. (Karel Prinsloo, AP)

The Jerusalem Post, via LGF, reported:

Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.

In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya.
Barack Obama's brother Malik Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."

UPDATE: Israel Insider says Malik will be the next one thrown under the bus.

    His father was a Muslim. He has a Muslim background. He is not a Muslim.

    Nothing to see here.

  2. I agree with Dave in NYC. The implication that conservatives are hanging themselves with here is that there is something wrong with being a Muslim, and since we are at war with an enemy that says it is Muslim but isn't and we have allies who say our enemies, i.e., Osama bin Laden, terrorists, etc., we are wise to make the distinction.

    We have plenty of ammunition against Obama based soley on his political stances. He's a radical on abortion, he's a Marxist, believes in wealth redistribution... we have more than enough ammo on this guy that it isn't necessary to go the way of the lefties and make a big deal out of something that only conspiracy theorists and the uneducated can relate to. The Barack HUSSEIN Obama is one of these areas. As is the bogus Whitey tapes of Michelle Obama.

    Just look at his record. When he was in the state senate in Illinois, how exactly did Chicago change for the better? Since he became a U.S. senator, how has Illinois benefitted? What about his legistalative track record? That's all the ammo we need, along with his Marxist and Black Liberation theologies.

    Obama cannot legisltate himself out of a paper bag let along be an executor of the federal government. His record backs that up.

  4. With a name like Barack Obama, who would ever think that he had a Muslim background...

    just a sample:

    Obama is a citizen of Kenya..

    more puzzling is the fact that he's also a citizen of Indonesia..

    excerpt:

    [Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name "Barry Soetoro" serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B.

    School documents listed Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen born in Honolulu, Hawaii on 4 August 1961. Barry's religion was listed as Islam. School documents further record Barry's father as "L Soetoro Ma" who worked as an official of the Director General's office in the TNI Topography division of the Indonesian Army.]

    Obama

    excerpt:

    [An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following:

    "Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the world's most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace."

    "Barack Hussein Obama's race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy."

    "A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obama's religion can be found in the following."

    "What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word 'mengaku' when refering to Obama's conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word 'mengaku' in Indonesian means "claimed" and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim.

    But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don't see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam."]

    just to clarify the concern..

    the problem is not whether Obama was a Muslim at one time.. the problem is Obama has lied about his background, about his close friends & associates (with ties to Saddam/ Iraq amongst other despots), and his ideology re: the BLT religion he chose to convert to..

    [enemy that says it is Muslim but isn't]

    that is not true and you know it..

    perhaps they are BAD not GOOD Muslims, but they are MUSLIMS following their version of the Qur'an non the less..

    there are also BAD Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc..

  7. What they're saying in Indonesia is "Taqqiya Rules!"

    In Islam for him to be a Christian is an automatic death sentence. I believe that this is in accordance with the Hadith.

    According to varied sources the punishment is attributable to the Koran or the Hadith. I guess you just have to take your pick.

    Amy,

    Agreeing with Dave in NYC is like agreeing with Code Pinkos in NYC.

    They both saw the horror and destruction reign down on their city as terrorist Muslims forever invaded their memories with the death of New Yorkers.

    Dave, like Code Pinkos puts his hands over his eyes and ears while babbling for Obama.

    According to your logic, since Obama has declared himself a Christian, we cannot call him a Marxist either.

    Doing so is obviously a smear and any conservatives who do this are hanging themselves with dirty political attacks. We can do better than this and I suggest we only attack him on his policy statments alone.

    You cannot attack him for his abortion standings either. Because as an honest man, Obama refuses to bring his religion into the sphere of politics. I suggest Conservatives to take the high ground and not attack Obama's decision to keep his religious beliefs.

    By doing this, we will assure a victory by McCain in November.

    On a more serious note:

    In Defense of Jim...

    Showing the connections of Obama's father, his family, his roots, is critical to knowing a man we know nothing about, has no experience in leading any organization ever in his life.

    Obama has lied about his past and made up fictional stories in his autobiography as was reported by his friend "Ray." He is a habitual liar. He lied about smoking, about running for President, about knowing the racist smears of his anti-Semite preacher. He then later admitted he had heard some of the idiocy spewed forth. He sit at a church that adorned Nation of Islam leader, pro-Palestinian, pro Hamas, racist, anti-semite with an award. Obama is a stone-faced liar.

    If McCain or Hillary or anyone else had done all these things on a very short list, they're careers as a candidate for President would be over. They'd be thrown out.

    Why should Barack Hussein Obama get a pass? By the way. Everyone knows that his whole name is Arabic, correct? It is not just Hussein that is an Arabic name.

    Tell me after 9/11. Did you ever think our nation would elect a man with an Arabic name that sings the Muslim prayer for Allah?

    All of this is critical to hear about. Political Correctness is now infecting Conservatives I see.

    Looking at his connections of both Marxist and radical Islamics are certainly fair game for the media and bloggers like Gateway Pundit.

    Obama's ability to sing the Muslim Holy prayer at sunrise as a beautiful song he admits loving is fair game. His very own belief that his name Hussein helps him with "Muslims" is fair game. If he can use his Muslim heritage and name to gain votes and be seen thru Muslims eyes in America and the world, then why is it not fair to look at all of his connections to radicals in Islam?

    He has only recently denied these connections. He never denied them previously. In fact he loved being in their homes.

    These are his words. He likes that "Muslims" like him. He does not differentiate between radical muslims himself as he and Michelle shared dinner with a terrorist supporter.

    Why did he have a radical Hamas lover Robert Malley on his staff? You think he did this out of some childish naivety? You truly think Obama did not know Malley's intentions?

    If he supports a Marxist and a radical Muslim brother of his in Kenya, it is fair game. If he supports radical terrorist supporters of Hamas, it is fair game. If he was registered as a Muslim in Indonesia and his Mother married yet another Muslim in a second marriage then this is fair game. Why did his mother marry two Muslim men? What attracted her to Islam?

    These questions are all fair game.

    If Obama supported the Nation of Islam and walked in the million man march then it is fair game. If Louis Farrackhan, the leader of Nation of Islam, endorses Obama, then it is fair game.

    If his Kenyan half brother supports radical Sharia Law then the media should ask Barack Hussein Obama if he supports his brothers beliefs or rights to have Sharia Law implemented in Kenya. This is about legitimate foreign policy questions for the future that impact our nations negotiations with Islamic nations.

    They should ask Obama if he supports the hideous Muslim practice of chopping off women's genitelia.

    They should also ask Obama if he plans on making a pilgrammage to the holy city in Saudi Arabia. Will he circle the fallen rock from the sky and kiss the fabled black stone for good luck?

    They should ask Obama if he makes the pilgramage will he throw stones at the devil?

    All these questions should be asked by our Media. And more. They are not doing their job.

    Obama has purposely connected himself with the unholy alliance of radical islam and communism with associations that he himself made over the years of Chicao politics. He made these decisions as an adult and they are open to critical analysis.

    He deserves valid critiques of his judgements in life. The fact that he associates with radicals that want to destroy Israel seriously undercuts any point against the post by Jim.

    Jim never said all Muslims were bad.

    Obama is playing with fire and the America public have a right thru a free press to know all of this information.

    Anyone who tries to force conservatives to cowtow to some faux liberal tolerance is part of the problem, not the solution.

    Anyone who tries to tell conservatives they are wrong for some falsely perceived injustice to other large groups that tolerate murder, oppression of infidels, female mutilation and honor killings, is not doing so in fairness to Americans.

    Tolerance for female abuse, honor killings, polygamy, marriage of girls under 13, the female circumcision, the death for adultry of a woman merely at the say so of her husband, women treated as half a man. All these truths and more are practiced through out the entire Middle East today! This is not some few people.

    These are hundreds of millions. The so-called moderate Muslim leaders allow this in their own countries. They do not stop it.

    You need to lecture Obama, not us.

    The media needs to answer all the above questions and put Obama on the spot, force him to tell what he believes about such radical Muslim practices in these backward run countries.

    Finally, Osama is following the words of the Quran by their commands as told by their false prophet from the desert. So is Iran, so is Saudi Arabian Kings, and Yemen and Sudan. How many more nations must I name?

    Stop all the false tolerance garbage before it gets us all killed.

    By the logic I've seen written there are Hundreds of millions of Non-Muslims. That is ludicrous argument to try and make. Hundreds of millions follow the Quran in Sharia Laws part and parcel.

    Women die every day because of it.

    If you are trying to create some new moderate muslims. Good, but don't do so at the expense of truth.

    Moderate Muslims will not be offended by shining the light on the radicals. They will behave like the largely mollified Christians. They will be glad that the truth is being told.

    If Obama has nothing to hide about his family, then the news will roll off his shoulders like so many other radicals he thru under the bus on his march to the whitehouse.

    Whatever good Muslims there are, if they are truly good, then they will understand why we must all know the background of Obama and his Muslim heritage and if he supports radicals like Hamas. Why did he only dismiss these radicals after the media revealed these connections?

    I am sure there are millions of former Muslims who are saying...

    WAKE UP! Don't TRUST HIM! Just as you are telling us to say nothing against Muslims. This is a joke.

    Jim is not, nor are we saying anything against moderate people. What is being pointed out is that Obama in fact has supported these people, including Odinga in Kenya.

    Let the man denounce his brother clearly in the public news. This is what America is fully and always should be about.

    Obama should be willing to denounce and crush his brothers KKK-like beliefs based upon 7th century teachings of barbarians.

    Wouldn't we demand this of anyone else running for the office?

    Then why not Obama? Why is he the great untouchable? Is he some kind of god? Some angel? We should all bow down to his highness?

    Calling evil evil is good.

    Telling good people they do not have the right to tarnish a Marxist manipulator with his Muslim background is also bad judgement.

    This man combines the worst of this world. From the Communist to the radical nutjobs of Islam. He has had both in his life without batting an eye up until election time when the lights flashed upon him. He surrounded himself with evil men, both radical Islamist and radical communist.

    He is one of the greatest deceivers this nation has ever seen in its political history for candidate as President. Half our nation is blind and now some people are saying we should not show the truth about Obama's past, his radical connections to Islam and why it is important.

    Obama will be seen for all of his seedy Chitown connections in life and his decsions to keep them for 20 years. Other seedy truths about his radical Communist and Muslim connections will be seen as well.
    These radical connections that he has made will continue to be unearthed as the summer progresses.

    Thank God for men like Jim who continue to get this information out. Our nation deserves to know the whole truth about Obama, not the whitewashing by the so-called "tolerable" media. The majority media is only tolerable to the liberal candidate.

    If McCain had these connections he'd be a dead duck and we all know it. To allow evil to stand and not say a thing about it is wrong.

    I believe Jim is doing the right thing in showing the truth.

    Stand firm Jim.

  18. There are only two kinds of Muslims - practicing Muslims and non-practicing Muslims; even Muslims differentiate this way between the two. Obama's father was Muslim, which automatically makes Obama a Muslim. If anything he may be a non-practicing Muslim, but lying about being a Muslim in the first place means he doesn't have to openly denounce Islam and declare he is an apostate. As far as Muslims are concerned, he is indeed a Muslim. Judging by the company he keeps, it wouldn't be such a leap to conclude that Obama is a liar.

    "A person born outside Kenya after 11 December 1963 becomes a citizen if at the date of his birth his father is a citizen of Kenya.

    Historically, every person who, having been born in Kenya, was on 11 December 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person, became a citizen of Kenya on 12 December 1963 if one of his parents was born in Kenya.

    A person born outside Kenya also became a citizen if his father became, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya."

    Judging by the final paragraph, Obama Jr. would have automatically become a Kenyan citizen because his father would automatically have become a citizen of Kenya 12 December 1963.

  20. bg - yes that is true, Obama could not legally hold dual citizenship.

    I very much doubt Obama could have legally possessed Kenyan citizenship taking into consideration the information on that site I posted.

    thanks Joanne, i read that & understand about the dual citizenship..

    but like i said, it's neither here nor there.. however, if i were to have any concerns about Obama having dual citizenship, it would related to his Indonesian citizenship..

    regardless of whether Obama holds citizenship in any other country really doesn't concern me all that much.. what does concern me is what it states on those documents ie: his religion.. what also concerns me is why he refuses to provide proof that he is a US citizen via presenting his Birth Certificate or any other document if he has nothing to hide (which is ridiculous on it's face since he has been proved to be a liar time & again.. maybe he's not the Obama he knew??)..

    and lets not forget who brought the subject matter up in the first place.. the Obama camp instigated the "McCain is not a US citizen" assault, as well as whatever the deal was re: the Obama, Clinton & McCain birth certificate break in (for lack of a better descript)..

    yes, but that's what's odd about the Obama camp being responsible for the break in (people looking into the Obama, Clinton & McCain BC's).. were they looking for what's on McCain's birth record (to continue their assault), or Obama's (to prepare a defense)?? it could be either or both.. or just a big to do about nothing, but strange all the same..
