Barack Hussein Obama: The Early Years

As we have now endured one year of the Obama presidency, let us look back at the early Obama years and the ties our president has to the Islamic faith. The information you are about to read was hidden from the American people by the American Pravda during the election season, and even for those of us who were better informed about Obama, it's easy to forget much of Obama's history.

Since we are beginning year 2, let us go back in time and get better acquainted with Barack Hussein Obama.

From an article I wrote previously:

Barack Hussein Obama: The Early Years

Read an enlightening description of the Obama early years from Atlas Shrugs:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/04/obama-was-previously-quite-religious-in-islam.html

Obama was ‘previously quite religious in Islam’

“I was going though the Atlas 2007 and 2008 archives looking for a source and I found this: ‘when Obama talks to our enemies, what will he say?’
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/04/obama-was-quite.html

Indeed. I came across the following post and I am running it again. Perhaps more people are listening. When I ran this post over two years ago, and the following one over a year ago, I was called every name under the sun. I think it's important to read this now in light of all the things he is doing. His submission to the Muslim world, his abandonment of Israel, and his takedown of the American economy, the engine that motors the world.

‘The "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" blog reports that Obama's Indonesian schooling began when he was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School on January 1, 1968 and sat in class 1B. He was registered under the name Barry Soetoro, serial number 203. School documents listed Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was listed as Islam. He will spend three years at Franciscus.

[...]
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school.’

He called himself Barry as a child. Why did he change and go back to Barack Hussein? This was a conscious decision that he made. Why? And if Barack went to all the trouble of going from Barry to Barack Hussein, why are we vilified when calling him by the name he prefers?

‘He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.

In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."

According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.

"I remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.

Obama himself recalls, "In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies."

Our guy in Jakarta writes: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, 'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes."
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html

"The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet."

"As I've stated before, the evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such."‘

In 2007, Obama's classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam."
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-3.html

‘"We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny," said Rony.

Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims"

In 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time."‘
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-4.html

‘He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion.’

Why lie?

OK, so he was raised a Muslim. Why lie? Why? When did he leave? How? Those who have left Islam are quite definitive about it. Vocal, even. How did he leave? When? He claims to be a practicing Christian for 20 years. He is 47 years old. What was happening prior to age 27?"

On March 14th, 2007, the Obama Campaign told the LA Times that Obama was not a ‘practicing Muslim.’
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/179905/campaign_now_says_barak_hussein_obama.html

But his official website says: ‘Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian. ‘”

Now, don’t you feel much better knowing such an individual is running our great country. One thing is for certain, we have a better understanding of what makes him curry favor with the Islamic world, while at the same time he throws Israel under the bus.
