  More nacazo Disinformation and Lies

  nacazo "More publicola disinformation and Lies"

  Unlike you, nacazo, I didn't tell a lie. Which makes this statement another lie on your part.

  nacazo "My mistake. He did not go to a koranic school. He went to a regular school. If I recall correctly, it was even a catholic school."

  Thank your for correcting that gross lie of yours. You still did not recall correctly, however: as a child in Indonesia Obama went to a private Catholic elementary school for 2 years, and then a public elementary school - which is where he received some instruction in Islam - for 2 more years.

  And if you want to learn what Obama actually said about that in his book then I suggest that you actually read his book, as opposed to passing along lies that some lying liar claimed was in his book.

  nacazo "Now, Indonesia being an Islamic country, the school teaches koranic classes but only to students registered as muslims."

  In my last letter I asked you for a reference to substantiate your claim here and you have not provided one - you are merely again repeating your same unsubstantiated claim.

  So I'll ask you again: do you have a reference to substantiate this unsubstantiated claim of yours?

  nacazo "Obama learned to recite the adhan (shahada plus) in excellent Arabic as the Times reporter heard him. So as a student, he was declared muslim somewhere."

  Another lie. Just because Obama learned to recite the Islamic Call To Prayer (the Adhan) that does not mean that he was "declared" a Muslim.

  nacazo ""Obama was never a muslim" is incorrect. It should read, at least, "Obama was declared a muslim for a brief period of time while he studied in Indonesia"."

  Another lie. nacazo you seem to be under the false impression that to be "declared" a Muslim means that one is, or at some point was, a Muslim.

  If the flaw in your assertion here is lost on you nacazo then consider this: If someone at some point had declared that you were a Muslim would that mean that you are, or at some point were, a Muslim? Of course not.

  nacazo "What's the opinion of Saudi Arabia's mufti? How about Ali Sistani in Iraq? The great mufti of Egypt? They all would declare Obama a muslim but maybe I'm wrong."

  Maybe you don't know what you're talking about here. Actually there's no maybe: you don't know what you are talking about here.

  nacazo "Can you get their Islamic opinions which are respected in the muslim world?"

  That they would opine that Obama is a Muslim is your unsubstantiated assertion, not mine. If you are able to substantiate your unsubstantiated assertion here with, you know, actual facts, then do so. Otherwise your claim here is nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim from someone who declared the gross lie Obama went to a "koranic school" and other lies.
