campfollower Mohar: I believe it is another 20 posts from you, so here is the bone I toss at you ever 20 posts or so (sometimes more frequently when you have been a good campfollower).

Is reminding ajeya that charity begins at home, and if he is to teach Pakistanis on the virtues of religious tolerance he should start with his own people in India (where hundreds of millions of voters back the hindu party bjp) a sign of insanity?

Now go for it boy!! You have your bone.

[She is still called Ann Dunham and she practices christianity as well as Obama.

Actually you need to get your facts right, do some research man. But I guess, even after researching, you usually come back and post the wrong info. I guess, there is no Hope for you.]

How ignorant of me! I thought Shirley Ann Dunham died in 1995 of ovarian cancer. But maybe she was "resurrected"?


[To marry a muslim man, she did not need to convert as Muslim men are alloweed to marry christians. ]

Is that why she married ANOTHER Muslim man and moved to Indonesia? Or was it because she was religion-neutral, and it just "happened" that way, because there were many more muslims than christians available in the US?

Re: # 454

1. Yes, I beleive that everyone has a right to choose or convert to other relegion.
2. To marry a muslim man, she did not need to convert as Muslim men are alloweed to marry christians. She is still called Ann Dunham and she practices christianity as well as Obama.

Actually you need to get your facts right, do some research man. But I guess, even after researching, you usually come back and post the wrong info. I guess, there is no Hope for you.

1) You avoided my question: do you believe in converting OUT OF Islam?

2) His mother was NOT Christian. Get your facts straight. She CONVERTED in order to marry his biological father who was Muslim. When they divorced, she married ANOTHER Muslim (because now she was Muslim herself), and moved to Indonesia with him.

I hope you are not one of the usual under-informed and fact-challenged stubborn posters on this site.

His mother was christians, and usually kid follows what mother practices. He only got a muslim name and his middle name from his father (Barack Hussian Obama). You cannot become the Muslim by just having a muslim name, he is christian and thats what he practices, and i am happy for him.

Similarly, I know personally so many christians who have converted to Islam in USA, but they still did not change their names.

As far as relegions are concerned, thay all are good, its people who are good or bad and it has to do a lot with the perception.

Re: #448

So, you are okay with apostasy? Or do you believe that once you convert to Islam then you are a Muslim, like it or not?

Let me know.

On the numbers - 78% Christians + 20% Non-believing people of Christian origin (apostates from Christianity, in the Islamic context).

One more thing before I call it a day, the half vote in the two and a half would be his own, since he is a black man, and african americans are considered half human compared to whites in the US (maybe not in popular rhetoric) but in all statistics, double the unemployment, double the poverty rate less than half the life expectancy for young males, and so on....India can scarce do to the dalits what the US has done to its African American minority....

I forgot this:

Just ask the Danes. They were the MOST liberal bunch of people imaginable.

Today, a FAR right-wing party is in power. Voted in by a MAJORITY of the people in Denmark.

Re: # 442

First of all, for your kind info. Obama is not Muslim, he embraced christianity. So, you cannot put Obama in Muslim category, infact, if I trust your numbers, he belongs to 78% of american ppl who are christians.

So, once again your Anology is Incorrect. You spent lot of time and did lot of research before you send me a reply to my previous post, but unfortunately, you are wrong again. :)
