Update on Hussein Obama

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that Barack Obama WAS at one time Muslim. Then converted to whatever brand of Christianity that he currently claims. In Islam, when you are born to a Muslim father, you ARE Muslim.

In Islam, the conversion AWAY from the true faith is a crime of tremendous proportion -- essentially, you sign your death warrant in the most strict countries. So, even as it stands, no matter what the outcome of this madrassa thing, it is awkward to say the least, to contemplate that a potential president is a criminal to 1.1 billion people.

The Koran quotes Allah as saying in chapter (sura) 2, verse 256 that there should be ‘no compulsion in religion.' BUT the hadith which form the basis of Islamic Sharia law quote Mohammed as saying ‘If a Moslem discards his religion, kill him.' Hmmm. Not a lot of wriggle room there. The two sources are NOT incompatible, one can be interpreted as being tolerant of other religions (uh huh, right) and the other a command to Muslims. And it is this command that makes things interesting: President Obama ... kill him if you are a good Muslim. I'd not want to be on Air Force One!!
