LOL! Yes you did. In fact, in my post that you're responding to here, I included the exact post you said so...And HIGHLIGHTED the portion of your claim about the majority of his time being spent in Indonesia...Which you conviently overlooked in fact...To deny you said it?
Let me refresh your memory...Again...
Remember now? I mean, you can click the little arrow next to your name in that quote, and it'll take you directly to YOUR post, where you did indeed claim that Obama had spent most of his life in Indonesia, hence his 'Islamic upbringing' you originally started out claiming...
By the way...I've stated several times, that Indonesia is an Islamic country...As well as stating similar expressions in regards to Kenya, where Obama's father came from...Would you like me to repost that for you? Since obviously you don't read what's said, or dismiss what was said in order to falsely back up your position?
So why now are you trying to pretend I think otherwise?
Oh...And from Obama's book, about his father's and step-father's supposed 'Islamic influences' on him...Which by the way...I was confusing his father with his step-father...My bad...
As to his mother?
Either way you want to sum that up, that doesn't conclude that Obama's parents used their beliefs/non-beliefs to influence his beliefs...You may want it to appear that way...If anything, they left it up to him to choose for himself what fit him best. IF they were supposedly such an influence, you'd think he'd be Agnostic or Atheist himself...But he's Christian.
If anyone or anything was responsible for his beliefs, then it would appear that America and it's predominantly Christian culture (where he was born and has spent the majority of his childhood and adult life) was more responsible for his beliefs then any 'Islamic person or country'...Since it's as a Christian he identifies himself, not Islamic period. And American culture itself is predominantly Christian.
And back to the name thingy eh? Then how do you explain Atheists that give their children names that have a religious useage? Parents that name their children after relatives in rememberance, that have a Christian religious meaning, yet the parents themselves aren't particularly religious?
You're putting way more meaning into Obama's name then is truthful...His parents gave him a name to remember a relative. You'd like it to mean more, in order to back up your anti-Islamic views...But that's simply making a mountain out of a molehill in order to cause fear and disinformation.
And obviously, even IF your implied meaning is that Obama's name was intended to influence his beliefs? Well, then again that fails, since he's obviously Christian and doesn't hold to the Islamic ideals you'd like to make others think he holds to...
Obviously, you are religious in some sense...As it's you trying to use religious reference/inference as to Obama's intentions and goals...
Only a religous person would go to that particular point of trying to get others to focus on another's suspect religious views, in order to try and paint that person as 'suspect and possibly harmful' because of suspect religious views...
So no, I don't feel a bit foolish in lumping you into the same group as any other religious zealot who uses religion as a basis to judge another's worth/value...
And our country would be better off, if people like yourself stopped trying to use religion and faith as a means to vote/not vote people into office or to give/remove rights from US citizens. You vote people into office based on what you think they're religous beliefs may/maynot be in order to ensure the politician votes for policies that support those religious ideologies...
Otherwise, you wouldn't need to play that 'Obama is Muslim' card in the first place. Only a religious person hoping to cause fear and disinformation, would play that card.
