  More nacazo Disinformation and Lies

  nacazo: "if BHO was "never" a muslim how come he went to koranic school to make funny faces (according to his book)."

  That statement is a lie. Obama DID NOT go to a "koranic school," -- "according to his book" (which I have read, evidently unlike you) or otherwise.

  According to his book, and elsewhere: As a child Obama attended a public elementary school for 2 years that was predominately Muslim - and it was predominately Muslim because it was in Indonesia, which is a predominately Muslim country. And in that elementary school there was a few hours a week of education in Islam.

  Here's more information, including a video of the public elementary school we are talking about:

  nacazo: "In Indonesian schools only declared muslims take the koranic classses in school."

  Really. Got a reference for that one?

  And why do you believe that Obama has taken "koranic classes"? Got a reference for that one too? According to PolyFact.org:

  The great preponderance of substantiated evidence indicates Obama attended a public school that taught a small amount of mainstream Islam.

  nacazo: "So there are Islamic jusrists that would consider "If you divorce a Christian woman and ignore your child from her to the point that the child grows up to be a Christian", the child is still a muslim."

  Yes. And your point here is what, exactly?

  nacazo: "Ibn-Qasim's opinion not withstanding, I would hate to be a Hawaiian with a muslim father in Saudi Arabia claiming "I'm not a muslim, I'm a christian". Good luck with that one if you don't have the protection of the Secret Service"

  And again your point here is what, exactly?

  You are aware that Obama has Secret Service protection, and that if elected he'll have Secret Service protection for the rest of his life, right?
