How about a source for the allegation that Obama's step-grandmother, Sarah (oh, the irony), is Christian?

This USA Today article says she is: Obama's grandma slams 'untruths' - USATODAY.com

But this article from AFP says not, that she was born Muslim and intends to die Muslim: Sarah Obama, Obama's Step-Grandmother, Christian Conversion Target Claim Kenyan Relatives

The USA Today article has no quotes or attribution, the AFP article does.

Good for her. 87 years old and still mobile enough to make the pilgrimage. (if the WND story about her going is even true).

Let me know when he proposes living under Sharia Law?
Not for looks, but for the racial and social message over the spiritual one.

Not only is it true, she's the guest of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

Cool, he can tell her all about his buddy, Dubya. Glad to see will be able to make the trip.
Oh, if you had not noticed no one cares if she is a Muslim, it is her right to believe as she sees fit, thankfully some people will never get their way and the practice will continue.

Why did Obama extend "best wishes" to participants of Islamic celebrations on Thanksgiving day? I don't remember the reporting of anything like this before this President.

so? why would this matter? We don't live in a theocracy, and this isn't even the side of the family who raised him anyway.
