Is Obama hurting the Democratic Party by not joining forces with Hilla

[Chesspiece_face]

This is simply a scurrilous lie.

First, the concept that (for the sake of argument) someone who attended a madrassa, any madrassa at all, for a few years before they were even of double-digit age, and then for the rest of their lives lived not only not as a muslim, but outside any muslim nation, with little contact with any muslim relations, has "ties" to "islamic extremists" is ridiculous on the face of it. Shoddy Logic should send lawyers to sue that article for ruining its good name.

This whole Madrassa non-issue is just a fabrication drummed up by people who want to spread xenophobia and fear of other cultures.

Furthermore, the school he attended was not a madrassa, and nobody has ever provided a single shred of evidence to the contrary. If this article convinces you that Barack Obama is unfit to be president, then I am afraid your bulls**t detector is turned off.

Or, if you'd rather read it from CNN:

Technically the school he attended was a madrassa. so was the school I attended. as well as the school you attended. The word Madrassa in arabic means school, or place of study. That word has absolutely no connotation of radical islamic ideology, it's only something that xenophobic americans attach to it because it sounds foreign and scary. So lets put this together: Obama lived, for a large portion of his childhood, in a place with a large muslim population. He went to school there. OH NOES!!! whatever are we going to do!
