Are you proud to show your ignorance?
Forty-seven-yr-old Obama was in nursery school for two years in Indonesia, and you conclude that "he was educated in Indonesia." And the whole world (except for you) knows that his school was not a Madrasa.
You clearly know nothing about Islam except what you read in internet smear mail. Otherwise you'd know that, in classical Islamic jurisprudence, Obama would have had to practice Islam as an adult, which he never did, then renounce it. And his father would have had to perform various procedures for Obama Jr. to even become a Muslim, which he didn't. Obama grew up with his white American family. His father wasn't even religious when Obama was born, and he had even switched between Islam, Catholicism, and Agnosticism at different points in his life. His father was a secular-minded, Harvard-educated intellectual, if you didn't know.
Even if he had practiced Islam (which he didn't), for centuries Muslims have converted to Christianity, and many retain their Arab names (eg. Mohammed, Ibrahim, Mahmoud, etc,) through the generations, and they're not killed. East and West Africa Muslims don't even follow the more radical fundamentalist forms of Islam that exist in the Middle East. And not all Muslims or Arabs are terrorists or bad.
So where is your evidence that Obama "hates the country and seeks to serve the false and pernicious god of the Koran?" The same Obama that your associates label a "Marxist?" The same Obama who attended the United Church of Christ for 20 years-- a church that sought to attract oppressed blacks into Christianity rather than black Islamic movements? The same Obama who supports of abortion and gay rights without reservation?
Some extreme Muslim fundamentalist, indeed.
Obama should be proud of his middle name, Hussein, the name his parents gave him, carried down from his grandfather. The only reason he is reticent about it is because of the way you and your associates use his name for fear mongering.
Nobody handed Obama his Ivy League education or his presidential nomination. He earned them. He is the son of two parents with doctoral degrees. He is also the son of an African immigrant, and Africans are the most educated of all immigrant groups in the US, surpassing even caucasians in the percentage with higher education (US Census).
You're just spreading lies in desperation. Frankly, your rhetoric doesn't sound like it's coming from someone who is a Christian, nor from a country that values tolerance.
