Obama, was his his dad a muslim?

[R1Geezer]

Was he a Muslim?
Can we clear this up?

[WaldoMcFroog]

He is a Christian, becoming an active church member in his 20s. His mother was a non-religious Christian, his father was raised Muslim but became atheist in adulthood.

Saying he is a Muslim has been one of the most effective - if underhand - methods of undermining his appeal.

[Gromit]

You'll be telling us Boris Johnson is muslim next because his Grandfather was.

[R1Geezer]

You're just bitter because the lefty plan to Islamicise the world has been rumbled. What a coup, Aliakbar Rafsan-Obama in the White House! What are those towers they are building on the corners?

[anotheoldgit]

Bah ! isn't he just a teeny weeny bit a Muslim?

[R1Geezer]

course he's a muzzy aog, have you seen the way his Mrs is always 10paces behind him?

[tigerlily11]

Thats because he's the guy they have come to see not her.
Mr Thatcher did the same with Maggie but I'm pretty sure she wasn't a muslim.

[R1Geezer]

well congrats tiger, you get the prize for managing to get Maggie into the thread on the most obscure pretense, well done!

[anotheoldgit]

You got your knickers in a twist again tigerlily11.

Maggi (female) was always in the lead, and Dennis the male was always behind.

Not the same as the Muslims do it.

[tigerlily11]

I'm not getting my knickers in twist over this. I just thought it was the same for any married politician. Wife/husband walked behind.
Just one of those things.

[keyplus90]

I, most of the times walk behind my wife and she is not even a politician.

[anotheoldgit]

No, but she must be a Saint, for obvious reasons.

[Quinlad]

Even by your standards, guys, this has to be the most staggeringly thick thread of the day.

Hats off!

[jake-the-peg]

His father is a God-less athiest ? ! ?

There's your scandal !

I think America would sooner elect a muslim than an athiest president!

[sp1814]

In the next US presidential elections, we will either have a non-white male president, or a non-male VP.

That's a pretty huge step.

However, the day a Muslim is in that position will happen about 50 years after a gay man is up for election, and two minutes after hell freezes over.

I was about to congratulate you on this piece of investigative work, until I got to the end of the article and read his quote:

I should not be astonished to find myself married to some old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners for me when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic affection

Sorry...but if you add to that, "lets me watch Top Gear in peace and doesn't make me go shoe shopping with her", then what you have is a very, very, very straight prezz.

Nice try.

Abraham Lincoln?

[youngmafbog]

So are we discussing gay presidents or potential Muslim ones,

'course he's a bit muzzi. They dont let you out that easily. You can be they will lean on him.

Still I'm sure a guntottin lipstick wearing lass will soon sort him out. According to him a female and a pig, he must really hate her !
