Another Obama Freudian Slip: “My Muslim Faith”
September 8, 08No, I don’t really think he’s a secret Muslim (any more) – but it’s still so much fun to tweak brittle Obamaphiles!
Video via Little Green Footballs:
TRANSCRIPT:
Obama: What I was suggesting… You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not – uh – talked about my Muslim faith, and you’re absolutety right that is not-
Stephanopoulos: Christian faith.
Obama:: …My Christian faith.
Also featured at Moonbattery, which points out that Obama’s actual faith of more than 20 years is the racist creed known as Black Liberation Theology.

Recall Obama’s 57 States: A Muslim Freudian Slip?
And this is important: Whether or not Obama really is/isn’t a secret Muslim, what matters is How the Islamic world views Obama:
Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel’s Persian language service, has said: “One of the Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation.”

Hindu Monkey God Hanuman Endorses Obama
June 26, 08In brief:
NEW DELHI: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama can now expect help from an unexpected quarter — Lord Hanuman.
All-India Congress Committee member Brij Mohan Bhama has organised a 11-day religious ceremony at Karol Bagh here for his success in the U.S. elections.
The idea of sending an idol of Hanuman dawned on him after friends in the United States mentioned a “prominent American politician who carried a miniature Hanuman idol in his pocket for luck,” Mr. Bhama said speaking on the first day of the ceremony on Tuesday.
The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms.
Obama has carried a small gold statue of the Monkey King, revered in India because Hindus believe monkeys are descendants of the monkey god, Hanuman.
“Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him,” said Bhama.

From The Hindu:
11-day prayer for Obama’s success
Congress leader invokes blessings of Hanuman
15 kg, 21-inch brass idol will reach Obama by August 24
NEW DELHI: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama can now expect help from an unexpected quarter — Lord Hanuman.
All-India Congress Committee member Brij Mohan Bhama has organised a 11-day religious ceremony at Karol Bagh here for his success in the U.S. elections.
The idea of sending an idol of Hanuman dawned on him after friends in the United States mentioned a “prominent American politician who carried a miniature Hanuman idol in his pocket for luck,” Mr. Bhama said speaking on the first day of the ceremony on Tuesday.
“After hearing that, I decided to gift Mr. Obama a larger, gold-plated version along with the wishes of thousands of his supporters in this country,” said the leader struggling to lift the 15 kg, 21-inch brass idol.
The first-day ceremony, pranapratishta, or infusion of divine life into an idol, was performed by a dozen priests reciting mantras in tandem. It was attended by Democrats Abroad India chairperson Carolyn Sauvage, who spent over an hour at the venue.
The idol was later kept in the sanctum sanctorum of the Sankat Mochan Dham, where it will be kept for 10 more days. Mr. Bhama said several temples in New Delhi had already expressed an interest in keeping the idol for worship on their premises before it begins its journey across the Atlantic.
Along with the idol, a copy of Hanuman Chalisa, a compilation of hymns in praise of the Lord, would be sent.
“We will ensure that Mr. Obama receives the idol by August 24, a day before the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado,” said Mr. Bhama.
The ‘miniature Hanuman idol in his pocket’ remark refers to this:
From New York Post:
BARACK’S A ‘CHARMER’
WASHINGTON – Barack Obama trounced Hillary Rodham Clinton with the help of the Monkey King, an American eagle and a poker chip.
Obama, campaigning in New Mexico, revealed to a group of voters in a cafe the pocket full of charms that he carries with him.
He said he keeps a “lucky poker chip” given to him by a voter, and an American eagle pin that was given to him by a Native American woman, saying they remind him of the people he meets along the campaign trail.
Obama has also carried a small gold statue of the Monkey King, revered in India because Hindus believe monkeys are descendants of the monkey god, Hanuman.
And alerted by a trackback from Obi’s sister (who has more insights into Obama’s history religious flip-flopping), here’s more…
From The Times of India:
Obama to get Hanuman idol
NEW DELHI: With Democrat senator Barack Obama busy in the run-up to the US presidential polls, a group of well-wishers in the capital have decided to send him a symbol of his lucky charm, Lord Hanuman, to help him emerge victorious.
Obama’s representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar on Tuesday received a gold-plated two-feet-high idol which she will pass it on to the Obama after it is sanctified.
The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms.
An hour-long prayer meeting to sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple’s priests.
“Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him,” said Bhama.
Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, who is chairperson of Democrats Abroad-India, said, “Obama has extended his thanks for the support.”
However, questions on Obama’s religious beliefs elicited just a smile from Sauvage-Mar, apparently to avoid controversy back home where the Democrat senator is pitted against the Republican Party’s John McCain in the Presidential polls.
The idol will be kept at the temple for 11 more days and then sent to US.
“We will perform the prayers for 11 days and then hand the idol to Carolyn who will send it to Obama,” said the temple priest.
Note that in Hinduism, it is perfectly acceptable to believe in and call upon Jesus at the same time as Hanuman, as Hinduism believes that all religious paths lead to the same final destination.
With all due respect to the religious beliefs of followers of Hanuman…
Will this be decried as ‘racist’ by the Obamapostles? These previous incidences of linking Obama to monkeys sure were.
Not that Obama isn’t getting endorsements from all sorts of characters worldwide.
So the Obamessiah is currently an avowed Christian (or rather, a member of a church that adheres to racist theology/ideology and has a loony reverend), but grew up nominally Muslim and is looked up to by Muslims worldwide as one of their own, and now carries a Hindu idol in his pocket and has the blessings of Hindus.
Looked upon as the new Messiah who deserves new Biblical scriptures, uniting all religions into one mixed-up conglomerate, and declaring himself supportive of Israel but ready to kowtow to its enemies at the drop of a threat…
Anti-Christ anyone? (Messiah is Hebrew for Christ, which is Greek for ‘Anointed One’)
Obi’s Sister had a poignant insight:
…or he’s really crafty in that he’s collecting all these valuable gifts from around the world like Xerxes or Alexander or whatever ancient warrior king he thinks he’s channeling this week…
That got me thinking… As the future Antibama-Christ, he may be modeling his divine emperorship on previous rulers of the world, i.e. by being the agent of ALL gods from ALL religions:
I am Cyrus, king of the world, great king, legitimate king, king of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four rims of the earth, son of Cambyses, great king, king of Anshan.
I strove for peace in Babylon and in all his other sacred cities. As to the inhabitants of Babylon… I abolished forced labour…
From Nineveh, Assur and Susa, Akkad, Eshnunna, Zamban, Me-Turnu and Der until the region of Gutium, I returned to these sacred cities on the other side of the Tigris, the sanctuaries of which have been ruins for a long time, the images which used to live therein and established for them permanent sanctuaries. I also gathered all their former inhabitants and returned to them their habitations.
Legitimate king, eh? Cyrus resembles an ancient-age sounding board for Barack ‘The Presidency is Mine By Birthright of My Race and My Liberalness’ Obama.
Only difference is, Obama would rather Babylon (Iraq) go down in flames while he rushes the troops home, and strongly supports forced labor (aka socialism/communism/welfare taking away your money).

Obama’s 57 States: A Muslim Freudian Slip?
May 17, 08
Above from this link.
Above from Obama’s Unsavoury Bunch Cartoons.
DISCLAIMER (added 23 May 2008): I don’t really believe that Barack Hussein Obama is a secret Muslim (12% of those polled do, however)… Although I do think he once shallowly followed Islamic norms and rituals during his childhood in Indonesia. But it’s just so fun to provoke the unholy wrath of Obamessianites! Just look at the comments!
UPDATE AUGUST 2010: Since his inauguration, his actions have caused 14% more Americans to wonder if he is Muslim!
UPDATE 8 Sept 2008: Obama slips up and says “my Muslim faith“!!!
Kudos to Infidel Bloggers Alliance for the linkage.
————————
Obama’s snubbing the American flag during the National Athem and dislike for wearing American flag lapels must have taken their toll, as he ignorantly blurted out that he had visited 57 of the 60 states:
It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”
The Times’ conscientious Robin Abcarian thought she heard something different there. She checked her tape recorder. It had captured what he had actually said — 57 states now.
(He even paused before he said “57″ as if he was thinking about the number.)
He must mean something like this:
If you hadn’t heard of it, you must have been consuming only liberal mainstream media… Old Media Ignores Obama’s ’57 States,’ Obsessed Over Quayle’s ‘Potatoe’.
Fair enough, it’s most likely a thip of the slung slip of the tongue by the tired incumbent… After all, he’s prone to misequations of astounding magnitudes – for example, mistaking 12 victims for 10,000! See the tons of video evidence for yourself.
But wait… Obama may have been right all along. Because there really are 57 states…
In the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
Freudian slip much, Mr. Hope & Change? Hey, don’t take me as the authority here – ask Obama’s own track record.
- Rush Limbaugh: Obama to Campaign in 57 Islamic States
We’re participating here in a tweak of the media. Obama said he’s going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. “Every year from 1999 to 2005, the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states,” this is from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And the title of the piece here is, “How the Islamic states dominate the UN human rights council,” and there are 57 of them. So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen? Obama’s 57 states, not just a simple gaffe. He might have been thinking of the 57 Islamic states when he said he was going to campaign in all 57 states.

- Egyptian cleric warns Obama to ‘return to Islam’ – You, Obama, are among those who have pledged before Allah – Allah who created you, sustained you, and brought you to this position – to be a Muslim who believes that Allah is the one God, especially since you have some kind of roots in Islam. Convert to Islam, and you will be saved. If you refuse to return to your [Islamic] origins, to the way Allah created you, withdraw your huge armies and military bases from the lands of the Muslims.
- Obama: Muslim Call To Prayer “One Of The Prettiest Sounds On Earth”, recites it perfectly – From Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
- The above has been removed from the NYT site… But is still at Obama’s official site! See Who Says Obama Was a Muslim? Why, Himself of Course! and screen captured for posterity below:
- Obama’s Half-Brother Confirms Muslim Background - “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.“
- Obama: America is ‘no longer Christian’ – “Whatever we once were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant.
In Islam, religion passes from the father to the child. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) was a Muslim who named his boy Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Only Muslim children are named “Hussein”.
His stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, was also a Muslim. In fact, as Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”
An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that “All the relatives of Barry’s father were very devout Muslims.”
Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that “documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim” while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was “listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school.”
A blogger who goes by “An American Expat in Southeast Asia” found that “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. … Barry’s religion was listed as Islam.”
Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he “was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended.” Haroon Siddiqui of the Toronto Star visited the Jakarta public school Obama attended and found that “Three of his teachers have said he was enrolled as a Muslim.”
In his autobiography, Dreams of My Father, Obama relates how he got into trouble for making faces during Koranic studies, thereby revealing he was a Muslim, for Indonesian students in his day attended religious classes according to their faith.
Obama’s half-sister recalled that the family attended the mosque “for big communal events.” Watson learned from childhood friends that “Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque.”
Barker found that “Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers.” One Indonesia friend, Zulfin Adi, states that Obama “was Muslim. He went to the mosque. I remember him wearing a sarong” (a garment associated with Muslims).
Indonesians differ in their memories of him. One, Rony Amir, describes Obama as “previously quite religious in Islam.”
- Obama’s Feathers Ruffled by Reference to Terrorist Appeasers and If the shoe fits… (See cartoons at bottom of this post)
- Encyclopedia Brittanica on Taqqiya and Wikipedia on Taqqiya:
“[Yusuf Ali 3:28] Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.”
This could also be an alternative explaination why Obama’s pals in the Nation of Islam are so worked up over the t-shirts equating Obama to a monkey.
Because according to their theology, Jews are apes.
And there’s no worse insult to them than to be called an evuuul, Zionist j00… Even indirectly!
Well, with the company Obama keeps and the kind of people who support him, it’s no wonder that you start seeing this kind of message around:
But wait… Barack HUSSEIN Osama Obama mentioned that he had visited only 57 out of 60 states! What could he have in mind as being the last three?
Most likely Britainistan (with capital of Londonistan, Eurabia and – when Obama wins the candidacy – Amerabia.
To close, I’d like to state that I have no bias against Obama’s religion or former religion.
To borrow from Daniel Pipes again:
Obama’s having been born and raised a Muslim and having left the faith to become a Christian make him neither more nor less qualified to become president of the United States. But if he was born and raised a Muslim and is now hiding that fact, this points to a major deceit, a fundamental misrepresentation about himself that has profound implications about his character and his suitability as president.
With the addition of one caveat: If Obama really has Muslim roots, then that alone might be enough to influence his attitude towards his ‘brothers in the faith’ who are not necessarily practitioners of multi-cultural tolerance… As Obama has already shown with Hamas and immediate surrender in Iraq.
It would be a fitting conclusion to the glorious imperialist, expansionist, colonialist occupation of the entire West that began 461 years before the First Crusade.

Angry White Bitch Blog
May 16, 08Nothing to do on a slow Friday?
Then visit Angry White Bitch while it’s still new and piping hot fresh from the oven.
Her current latest post is a demonstration of how a liberal blogger can wail and waaaaaaaaaah that sticking Obama’s name under a cartoon monkey is racism, yet simultaneously host drawings of Jesus Christ as a a Nazi and a demon without batting a discrimination eyelid.
And as these two snarky posts testify, I am a big fan of mocking double standards and hypocrisy in blogs which pick a fight with mine.
