Any info on Mr. Obama's religious commitment?

How about his views about other religions.

I do know that politicaly he has aligned himself as "pro-israel".

Go check out the AntiChrist thread.

I don't think we can ever tell what is REALLY in people's hearts. His church gave Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievment award.


Also, see the Rev Wright Ridin' Dirty Clinton/Lewinsky thread for info on Obama's pastor, Rev Jeremiah Wright...there are 5 videos posted in that thread.



[SIZE=3]Wright has also been a severe critic of Israel. In his own words (broken link)[/SIZE]:
[SIZE=3]"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism."[/SIZE]

Dunno. Ask Pastor Manning. Perhaps Obama's stance appears on Double D's! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Obama has asserted that Pastor Wright has been his spiritual consultant, but certainly not his political consultant. He has disagreed with Wright publicly on a variety of topics.

After 20 years of close association, Obama said a few days ago, he never KNEW about all those taped sermons and hate speech. Suuuuure. NOW he denouces Wright's comments. What about all those other years??? Please.

You seem to know far more about the mind of Obama than Obama himself. Are you so prescient about other candidates as well?
