Barack Hussein Obama was born to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (a black Muslim) from Kenya, and Ann Dunham from Kansas(a white atheist).

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married another Muslim man and moved to Jakarta, Indonesia with Obama. In Indonesia, Obama spent a few years in a Muslim religious school and is a learned muslim. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, and playing down the importance of that issue by saying, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school.

During Obama's stay in Jakara, Indonesia, Obama studied in a Wahabi or Wasabi sect's school of Islam. if you looked at most of the 9/11 attackers, they are also followers of Wahabi (or Wasabi... however your pronounce it) sect teachings of Islam. In short, Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world. Obama's biological father's was a radical Muslim but it was his step-father that was a follower of Wahabi sect and introduced Obama to that radical sect as well.

Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background but if you paid attention to details you would know that he is still a Muslim. The name itself is a Muslim name. All Muslim men, once they join a Islamic school of thought or is initiated into the mosque will be given a Muslim name. Obama in his case was given the Muslim name of "Barack Hussein Obama", pretty much like his father. His name s derived from Ali's son-Hussein Ibn Ali. His grandfather was named 'Hussein.' That is an Arabic-Muslim, not African, name. Barracks comes from Baraka, a Arab-Muslim name meaning "Blessed." Interestedly enough, the Muslim community sees Barack Hussein Obama as a fellow Muslim because his father was a Muslim and his step father as well.

During the DNC Convention in 2004, Obama lied about his father's religious denomination. He said his father was a non-practicing Christian while we know now that his father was really a Muslim. Why would he need to lie? Also, as a side note, his father was really involved in the Mau Mau terrorist movement after the British left Kenya, hence the reason he went back to Kenya.

He's half white but calls himself black. That, in my opinion, is reverse racism as he is implying racial messages by identifying himself as black and then calling for a "change" in the way presidents
