He was registered in school as a Muslim. NOTE WELL: That schocl required him to register as one of 5 religions. One of the five was christian. He registered Muslim. There is nothing wrong with being Muslim. That being true, why hide his past? Isn't his hiding it the one who is insulting Muslims? ======================== JR reverts back to a January 2007 article in Insight magazine (a publication affiliated with Moon's Washington Times) and smeared around by Fox-y News and viral emails. Back then, the report also claimed Hillary's campaign had uncovered the "information," but Fox later had to retract the Clinton connection. As a six year old, Obama was placed in a Catholic school where he studied catechism. Then when he was 8 years old, his father, not Obama, registered him at a public school open to all faiths. That and all the other distortions raised by Moon's Insight Magazine and spread by Fox are debunked here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp and several other pages at Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp Abrouhaha among the tabloids, distracting the electorate from real issues. Rivals CNN and Fox News Spar Over Obama Report - New York Times Statement from the National Council of Churches: http://tinyurl.com/5tngmu "We are writing to deplore this despicable tactic and set the record straight. "We have had enough of the slash and burn politics calculated to divide us as children of God. "We must come together as one nation, and see our stake in each other as Americans. "The bitter, destructive politics that have so riven our country in recent years cannot stand. "As American leaders of different faiths - Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Jew - who have worked cooperatively and greatly respect all of the 2008 candidates in both parties, we do not offer this statement as an endorsement of any individual candidate. However, certain moral standards should infuse our national dialogue, and the recent attacks on Sen. Obama violate values at the heart of this dialogue. The false and malicious attacks levied at him are anathema to all of our faith traditions, and we condemn them outright. " Debunked and Condemned.
