thehookup@ourchart.comWhat is wrong with Obama's robe and turban?
February 26, 2008 - 11:49pm — TurquoiseI do not understand this whole controversy about the picture released a couple of days ago of Obama wearing Somali clothes. It is such a lame tactic to discredit someone's reputation this way. Unequivocally unprofessional!

Nothing wrong with Muslims
The sad point behind the cartoon (which I do not agree with) is that people in this god forsaken country fixate far too much on a person's religious background. Give a man a name that even slightly resembles a monarch in Iraq and we deem him Muslim. But what's the big deal with that? So what if he were Muslim? Islam gets a horrible reputation in America. If people would take the time to look at how closely Islam and Christianity are related, they wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions. Islam is a religion that worships a god and follows its prophets. The same as all the rest. It's fundamentalists and jihadists that give Islam a radical look. We should be reviewing Obama's ability to lead, rather than his father's religious background, or his middle name, or where he went to school.
He won't last 100 days in office.
Sorry to say. I hope he has the best security money can buy. And a bullet proof vest.

Oh, I think he'll have
Oh, I think he'll have pretty good security and a vest. a bulletproof hat and glasses wouldn't hurt either.
accurate prediction
yeah thats for sure. i live in west virginia and imagine what these idiots here are saying. lol if he's not the antichrist then someone is going to shoot him dead.
That's the only thing I fear
That's the only thing I fear for. The fact that he's going to need a bulletproof vest and extra protection for his family.
psh
i hate politics.
never thought that my post
never thought that my post would lead to the comparison of Obama with Antichrist:)
I agree with Jmorena though. Unfortunately, many people in the US and EU are inclined to become very frightened and biased towards everything that does not come from the so-called Christian sub-culture.
The Antichrist?
How the heck did Obama go from the charismatic speaker
to the antichrist?
I guess that's what happens with there is change
from a politician by the name
of Barack Hussein
Let me first say that I am NOT a Republican NOR am I a Democrat. I am a MODERATE.
I'm pretty sure that if people here [the US I mean] are that 2-Dimensional and it is bad. Then can't we only hope that the middle east is as such? I know that if I were from Iraq and the US elected a Christian man who just so happens to be bi-racial and has the name Barack Hussein Obama I'd be more inclined to say.."Wow now that is ironic. Maybe they'll be a bit better towards us."
Just a thought. I'm very into this election and going at it from all angles, and as unbiased as possible. The viewpoint I stated above is quite a popular one among the masses-by that I mean moderate masses.
The problem with the
The problem with the viewpoint...and I have to say it's a good point on a practical level, but at its core it's saying that having a certain race (or mix of) and having a certain name gains points for presidency.
Which is what barack is trying NOT to do. He wants people to vote him because he has the idea, he is the leader
It's topsy-turvy to his message. I would agree that if I were an Iraqi, it might chip away a bit at my idea that Americans are poopoo heads.
But that's just conjecture, because i'm not really from Iraq and how the hell can I imagine what they are feeling?

What makes you think Obama is the Antichrist?
i was joking, but i wasnt.
idk. ive been very interested in end of the world prophecies lately. none of them are necessarily true, just a feeling i get about him. here comes this dude from hawaii that came up out of nowhere, and he's got all the answers.
just a feeling.
more on that topic
I read an article that talked about Obama being the A.C.
I'll summarize what it said
The Antichrist will be charismatic, a politician, and promise to bring world peace. Indeed, he WILL bring world peace.
Ok,so far he sort of fits the picture.
Then the AntiChrist will perform miracles and healing and people will worship him instead of God.
Ok...this is NOT Obama. No way Jose.
i have come to the
i have come to the conclusion that obama is the antichrist.
yup yup
and he's not the only one who shows respect by dressing in local garb.

I think it's out of respect
I think it's out of respect for the Kenyan nation and culture, nothing more!
i agree it's lame
The purpose of the picture to portray Obama as Muslim is sooo stupid that I bet that Hillary didn't know of it being leaked. I mean, it just makes the leaker (?) look petty, pathetic and racist. Which is not hillary. She's smarter than that.
Sadly, I've heard people here talking about how if Obama becomes president, then we will get attacked by terrorists who will be upset at him betraying them and joining the Christians.
I'm not sure how critical these people are of their own thinking.
not sure
Dornac,
I'm afraid I would not be the kind of person to answer your question since I do not live in the US. but I'm posting this link where you may search for the immigration statistics in the US.

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot, it's an interesting link. But I didn't find yet the history of immigration. I go on trying...
In France, 1 French per 4
In France, 1 French per 4 has an immigrant parent. How much is it in US ?
hmm
it's because everybody says that Obama is immigrant or something but bahh u know... haha they make a strom into a glass of water...
i guess.
