[QUOTE/] BFritz;498573] All the information I found said he did attend a Muslim accademy for two years but then attended a Catholic school. He remained Muslim until he tried to go into public office because he knew people linked it all with extremism. Even if he's not an extremist, the Muslims killed a few thousand of our people, why should we embrace their opinions, thoughts, and ways of life with the most powerful figure in our country? Wouldn't that be a start at doing exactly what they've been aiming to do, especially with 9/11, which is to disrupt our way of life and to change us?[/QUOTE]

That story is way off base, lol. It seems all the info you've been reading is a lie. People are just feeding on the fear americans have of the radical Muslims to steer people away from the actual issues of the election. The school he attended was a public school in Indonesia, open to all faiths, as reported by the AP and confirmed by the school. He attended school there from ages 6-10.
That country is mostly Muslim, and the majority of students there were Muslim, but that doesn't mean anything. The majority of people in public schools in this area are Christian, does that mean all schools here are Christian schools? It wasn't a madras ah as the people at Fox and the conservative nut jobs want you to believe.

His father was a Muslim, but said he became an atheist after losing faith in the Islam doctrines. Obama actually wrote a story about his upbringing and faith in 2004, in which he spoke in lengths about his Christian beliefs, his daughters also belong to a Christian church. This isnt quite the radical Muslim some on the right want you to think he is.

I believe this quote sums it up pretty well, it's just another story with no truth at all spit out from the radical right.

We are asked to believe that Sen. Obama, who professes to be a practicing Christian and has spoken publicly of his "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," is in fact secretly a Muslim and has lied all along about his true religious affiliation.

"No proof is offered by those who make these claims -- no sightings of Barack Obama attending a mosque, no pictures of him reading the Qur'an, praying to Mecca, or observing Islamic holidays with his family. The entire case, such as it is, rests on a confused and error-ridden recitation of Obama's upbringing and purported childhood influences. It also rests on -- or exploits -- a deep fear and mistrust of the Muslim faith.

Virtually everything we do know about Obama's parentage and upbringing, it should be stipulated, comes from the senator himself. Obama told the story of his search to uncover his African heritage in Dreams from My Father (Three Rivers Press, 2004), and shared further autobiographical details in The Audacity of Hope (Crown Publishers, 2006). He spoke at length about his Christian beliefs in a 2004 Chicago Sun Times interview with Cathleen Falsani. Must we take his word for all of it? Not necessarily, but in the absence of contrary evidence we have no reason to seriously doubt Obama's own candid account of his life story."
