On February 27th, 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth."

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof,¹⁰ published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."

The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the world. Original New York Times source -- requires LogIn.

Obama's classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and  marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious  in Islam. We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny."

Another classmate, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong', at that time. He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle¹¹, he changed his religion."

According to the Indonesian Media, they don't see Obama as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam."

At the age of 10 his mother sent him back to Honolulu, Hawai, to live with his maternal, non-Muslim grandparents. We are never given the reason for his separation from his mother and for leaving Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world and is called “the gateway to Islam.” 

Sudden separation from family and friends and moving in with grandparents he hardly knew undoubtedly deepened his sense of rejection and abandonment, of “not belonging”. Barry tried to compensate, to counter balance this. He claimed to be a descendant of a “prince” who would be one day a “king”. He created a fantasy world in which he was somebody important that one day everybody would look up to. And he would be vindicated, making everybody feel sorry who ever did not treat him right.

His grandparents¹²  enrolled him in the prestigious, non-sectarian Punahou School (which nevertheless requires all students (K-12) to attend Chapel once every 6-day cycle.) from the fifth grade in 1971 until he graduated with honors in 1979.
 

Although the student body of about 3,700 attendees is diverse, Obama was one of only 3 black students. This circumstance might have created in him a first sense of “belonging” – being “the outsiders". Even if he first leaned to identify with the white race because of his mother and grandparents, a number of secret racial harassments undoubtedly would have caused him to identify with the black race, more by force than by choice.

Obama named Hefty his favorite teacher for her power to make "every single child feel special."

He had a Dr. J poster on his bed- room wall.  His nickname was "Barry O'Bomber."

I can identify to a degree with this development of “identity by choice”: although as a child I had a strong desire for G-d and was accepted and treated kindly by a Lutheran pastor, the bigotry of catholic Christians - not for me having done evil but for being Jewish - did not allow for a “Christian” identity. Learning of the Holocaust about which there was complete silence in the German schools, I turned away from G-d and any identification with Christianity until the encounter with Yeshua. But I still did not have any clearly defined identity until the Lord Himself commanded, “Return to your people and your heritage.” 

Eventually my identity by descent, heritage, conviction and conscious choice, emerged: a Jewess according to natural birth and heritage, and a Jewish disciple of the Messiah of Israel by faith, new birth and baptism. This precludes my identity as a “Christian” because it would link me with a religion which for many centuries persecuted my people in the Name of Jesus Christ and turned the Gospel into a “hate the Jews” evangel.

Obama’s identity was formed in a different, albeit similar, fashion. It is the primary key to understanding how this predisposed him to become useful for those forces who seek America’s dissolution - and therewith the West's -  and Israel’s annihilation.
