Bunch of bollocks.
The article makes the following claims;
1) Barack Obama is a muslim.
2) Obama was enrolled and taught in a Wahabi school, and that Wahabiism is a radical form of Islam. (On a side note, I love how it's RADICAL) Further, they insinuate that the Wahabi school is akin to a madrassa.
The above claims are supposed to lead to the conclusion that Obama wants to bring down the US from the top down, nevermind the system of checks and balances.
To address the first claim, Obama swore in on his
own personal copy of the bible, not the so-called Kuran. (Qur'an or Koran) Vice President Dick Cheney himself checked and testified that it was, indeed, a Bible, in his role as president of the Senate. (If this is in doubt, check out the two press reports from January 2005, when it happened. It is mentioned in both)
Further, Obama himself claims that he chose his own religion in his twenties. Since he's now 47 years old, that's a real long-term plan . . . While nothing I say can detract nutshit batters from thinking that secretly, in his heart, he's a muslim, one should also consider that there haven't been
any mention of an anti-christian or pro-muslim tendencies in his policies as Senator for Illinois. Obama himself says he's a member of the Christian faith and described his father as "raised muslim, but pretty much a confirmed atheist before my parents met."
2) Obama was indeed enrolled in local schools in his period in Jakarta. However, the claim that wahabiism is a radical sect hellbent on training terrorists (In 1967-1972, at that . . .) - well, I find it suspect on the border to implausible. Wahabiism, a direction in the Salafism interpretation of the Qur'an, also dictates that the "student" does not readily and unconditionally accept the wisdom of his fathers or his teachers, but rather try to find the truth out of the Qur'an and the Sunnah for himself.
While wahabiism is a rather (very) conservative subgroup of Islam, and I personally find it quite suspect, it's violent streak notable rose into prominence in the late eighties and early nineties - i.e. 20 years after Obama attended a school for
four years.
Now, if you want Obama's own words on faith, I suggest you read through (or listen, if you can find it availible) his speech on the "Way Forward" in which he also addresses the doubts about his own faith, can be found
here. It's a very well written speech, and I commend him for that. (Even though he comes off as a far more Bible-thumping person than I'd personally like)
