Is Obama truly a Christian? Could he be a Muslim? Is there more to be gleaned from his actions, and less from his words? What are his true beliefs and how do they affect decisions that affect all Americans?
Bear in mind, I am not a religious person, but I vehemently respect and defend all religions that are peace-loving, generous and genuine, particularly Jews and Christians upon whose faith forms the bedrock of this nation’s origins and it’s values.
Last month I posted an article presenting a Mosaic of the many undefined aspects of Barack Obama that, when joined together like a jigsaw puzzle, clearly shows the full picture that our president is someone else other than what he has portrayed himself.
Among other questions is claim to be a “Christian.” In truth, his life’s history before the alleged “conversion” in 1988 — in the church of Rev. Jeremiah Wright — had been with close alliances to Marxists, atheists and Muslims, almost to the exclusion of any Christians. Thus, one might conclude that declaring himself a “Christian” was purely for political expediency. With politics looming, he certainly would not be electable as an atheist or a Muslim.
Patterns rarely lie. Police investigators often rely on patterns when connecting dots in the field of organized crime and corruption. In my “Mosiac” article, I point out how Mr. Obama leans far more toward the Islamic faith than to Christianity. I am not alone. David Barton, of Wallbuilders.com has posted an article in which he presents a very clear pattern of Barack Obama’s attitude and policies toward Christianity, and further, his leanings toward Islam.
As you read this, remember that upwards of 77 percent of the people of this nation identify as Christian. One ABC poll put the number at 83 percent. While some folks might not like to hear it, that makes us a predominantly Christian nation.
The following text is taken from David Barton’s article. For annotations and sources, check out the full text which is linked below. Very tell-tale.

2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.
February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.
The reader can easily put the pieces of the mosaic together. While some people may not disagree with all of these actions, one cannot lose sight of the bigger picture, in total, and what it tells us all.
These actions are unprecedented. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.
