This claim has been going around for years. One reason why it never dies is because Obama never does anything to disconfirm it. “Commentators on Arab TV: Obama Supports Iran Because His Father Was a Shiite,” MEMRI, n.d. (thanks to Steve):
On March 25, during an interview on Hiwar TV, broadcasting from London, Syrian writer Muhydin Lazikani said that “all the childhood memories of the man who rules the White House are Shiite memories” and that “that is why he is so anxious for Iran to emerge victorious.” On April 10, London-based Iranian opposition activist Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi said: “Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite father… Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America.” He was speaking on the Saudi 4Shbab TV channel.

Statement by adoption. In U.S. law, if someone other than law enforcement, \ makes a statement and the one about whom the statement is made does not disclaim or deny it, the statement can be used in court against the one about whom the statement is made.
“Achmed carried the bomb,” said Ali.
Achmed remains silent. He has *adopted* the statement.
So we can accept the statement about why iran is being helped in this way as true.
brenrod says
what about all the insane statements about infidels made by the honor killer nutters…. were they adopted?
Shane says
We certainly cannot dismiss this claim as Obama’s words and actions do not contradict it.
duh_swami says
He’s got Islam on his mind…Allah has possessed him, robbing him of his manhood, leaving him with small and leaky plumbing….That’s why he is Rasulullah. We know he is Rasool because he is continuously slandering Islam in favor of Islam…I don’t remember him ever talking about Mahound, but maybe no one asks him about that, or if he believes Allah is God and Mahound his messenger…No one dares ask him that either…
underbed cat says
“Iranian lobbyist ” and in the WH….interesting how this is so openly discussed in a OIC country… so do the national security people ever hear these messages. Son of a Kenyan Shiite father who traveled to the U.S., i think went to school at Harvard..hmmm would those statements if true, disqualify a leader?
marco says
The brotherhood is Sunni
Joseph says
Kind of off topic,
Obama is a Muslim, that is a fact, no matter what he says. Did anyone notice that he signs documents with his left hand? What hand does he eat with??? Muslims should eat with their right hand and wash their arse with the left.
Does the White House have bidets in their bathrooms for washing?
Just curious.
Jay Airahs says
The Leftist Southern Poverty Law Center doesn’t say boo to Islam.
That proves Obama and head-bump Hillary are both Muslims.
Don McKellar says
Obama only ever says that he’s “a Christian”, he never says that he’s not a muslim. He’s exactly like that Ground Zero Mosque developer/slumlord/Islamic supremacist a while back. He said he was a Christian, too. And followed it up by saying he was also a muslim. That’s a word game that muslims play. They consider themselves Jews and Christians because they buy into warped versions of the “prophets” of those religions. But they place themselves about Jews and Christians because they accept the “final prophet”.
One thing a believing muslim will never, ever do, upon pain of death, is say that they are not a muslim. To them it is the greatest of sins. And Obama will never simply say that he is not a muslim. Ever. Anybody who wasn’t a muslim will say so. But not him. Now why is that?
He’s been caught out by this one simple point. It needs to be driven home relentlessly until everybody has it clear. It’s as simple as that.
Don McKellar says
CORRECTION: But they place themselves ABOVE Jews and Christians…
Custos Custodum says
Actually, it is much worse than that.
Obama has NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO CLAIM OUTRIGHT THAT HE IS A CHRISTIAN. Look at the carefully contrived AMBIGUOUS wording Obama employed each and every time the point came up. (Of course, 9 times out of 10 an adoring, lick-spittle MSM lets him scate.)
For example, in the video linked below, Obama says to Muslims “I MAY BE a Christian,” but my understanding of the Muslim world will make us safer. Note this is ambiguous – it could mean that “although I am a Christian,” but it could also mean “I MAY BE a Christian” (but maybe I am a Muslim).
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/02/19/obama-07-my-intimate-understanding-of-muslim-world-will-make-us-safer/
In 2008, the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright gave a lengthy interview to the New York Times. In it he said in essence that he had worked to convince Obama that he could accept baptism if properly understood. I.e. Christianity could be twisted to fit Obama’s needs.

“Obama dismisses Muslim faith claims, says he is devout Christian”:

Custos Custodum says
Yet another opportunity Obama chose to MISS to say in FOUR WORDS: “I am a Christian.”
Read and parse his actual words:
“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Custos is splitting ‘verbal’ hairs and essentially making a distinction without a difference …
Custos Custodum says
Of course, Obama is by no means the first politician who finds it advantageous to masquerade as a devout religious person in public.
What is astonishing is that Obama has never even unambiguously said “I am a Christian.”
The reason, of course, is that such a statement would be anathema to Obama’s core supporters – an amalgam of communists (yes, Stalinism is alive and well in the 2015 U.S.), crony capitalists, atheist totalitarians (George Soros and many others), Georgetown U. careerists, etc.
At a personal level, Obama experiences a teenager’s frisson by flaunting his hate of bedrock American traditions which he and his team openly work to undermine.
Custos Custodum says
Champ,
Do YOU believe that Obama is a Christian? YES/NO.
Also, Champ, here are a few more questions as to which we would appreciate your considered views.
1. If Obama is indeed a member of the community of Christians, does he believe in a personal G-d? In the Trinity?
2. Since Obama insists on being portrayed as a serious intellectual as well as a believing Christian, are you telling us, Champ, that Obama could give a concise, impromptu summary of the main points of the Nicene Creed?
3. Again, since Obama is a believing and highly educated Christian, what are the five (5) main points of difference between Obama’s brand of Christianity and current doctrines of the Catholic Church?
4. Please remind us, Champ, where do the Obamas go to church (remember the well-publicized pre-election kerfuffle about finding a new church)? When did Obama last go to church? How did Obama spend Easter?
5. Lastly and most importantly, Champ, how is Obama’s “Christianity” incompatible with kufar-murdering and raping Islam?

‘The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam’…
Would any kuffar say that?
Custos Custodum says
Also remember Obama’s promise of a CONTIGUOUS Palestine joining the PLO-misruled “West Bank” [of the River Jordan] to the Muslim Brotherhood hell-hole in Gaza.
The LA Times is still sitting on Obama’s farewell address for Palestinian propagandist (and University of California salary thief) Rashid Khalidi. Apparently, the substance of the address shows the Messiah in a less than flattering light, even for leftist extremists.
Westman says
The future must not belong to those who slander the Buddha, except for China.
The future must not belong to those who slander the poor, except for the wealthy.
It’s all nonsense, like stuff PNAC once spouted. No country or religion will own the future.
Brian says
Obama is a closet Muslim. He NEVER criticizes Islam…in fact he always praises Islam in some way, but he does constantly criticizes Christianity. His fruit is Islamic.
Champ says
So true, Brian! …and yet obama *claims* to be Christian ..riiiight!
Lioness says
Obama claims to be a christian for political reasons. He knows that voters have bad taste for muslims, so he pretends. That’s all in the Quran, to pretend and deceive in order to win. His actions, however, speak loud and clear that he is a muslim: aids and supports the Brotherhood, hates Israel and wants it destroyed, wears the “Allahu” ring, and now hands Iran the green light to nukes.
Jay Airahs says
You both got that right Brian and Champ
Obama did however criticize the pastor who threatened to burn a Koran because it might ‘offend’ Muslims. But why should anyone fret over Muslims being offended at the burning of a Koran?
Every Muslim, including Obama should instead apologize for the Koran.
While the Koran does begin most chapters with “In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful” which we all can agree is a very nice sentiment, it also contains some of the most vile offensive insults to Christians and Jews imaginable.
The profane Slave Trade – Whipping Post religion of Islam is an insult to basic human decency and all of humanity.
Beth says
Here guys – take a look at this little speech barry gave while he was a senator:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi-V_ilJu0w (Obama was never a Christian and this video is absolute proof). Prepare yourselves if you are Christians – it is very offensive!
Beth says
Yep – I agree Brian….Obama is a Muslim. No doubt about it for me.
Michael Copeland says
“These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit I am not the strapping young muslim socialist that I used to be”, quipped Obama after a White House dinner.

He can be whatever. Is he malignant or benign?
1. Malignant: He is out to destroy the US from within (our conspiracy theorists)
2. Benign: He is out to destroy Islam from within (their conspiracy theorists).
Kepha says
Obama is a Shi’ite–and I just saw a big UFO coming right down to earth from the planet Mars! Bibubibubibubibubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii— (attempt at Twilight Zone music).
Yes, Obama is a malignant tumor in American politics. I call him the O because in one of my dialects, it means a child (儿)in one tone and “to defecate” (屙)in another. I never voted for him, and hope his party gets trounced in America’s next election. But I do not think he is a Muslim at all–Shi’ite, Sunnite, Ibadi, Ahmadi, or Bahai. Sure, his putative Kenyan father BHO Sr. was born a Muslim, but there’s nothing to show the O had any substantive Islamic upbringing, apart from the demand of Indonesian law that he be identified by some religion or another (in the O’s case, Islam, due to a supposed natural father he never knew, and then a stepfather who, like most Javanese, allowed his Islam to sit lightly on traditions of syncretism with older Hindu, Buddhist, and animist traditions (to say nothing of modernizing trends).
These Middle Easterners, whether pro-Iran or not, are steeped in conspiracy theorizing and imputing the worst of sins to whoever is a “them” rather than an “us”. There statements about anyone in American politics is not worth much. But perhaps we can be glad that they’ve grown sophisticated enough to stop blamig everything on the JOOOOOOZ.
David, Thailand says
According to our media gods the Kenyan can’t be a Shiite because he isn’t even Muslim.
So much for 21st century truth in reporting.
duh_swami says
Rasool Obama is an actor…He is Herb Philbrick living two lives. One as the President of the USA, and a Christian, the other as a stealth jihadist and a Mahoundian…The reason that’s confusing is because he keeps us guessing by switching back and forth…But if you listen to what he says, and watch what he does, it won’t take long to figure it out.
I Iat says
Hi,
If Obama was raised as a muslim he is influenced (conditioned) by the koran wether he realizes it or not. See my website http://members.ziggo.nl/iiat/ page: http://members.ziggo.nl/iiat/DIYExpert.htm

The Muslim brotherhood is Sunni and Obama supported them.

His history is supportin both Sunni and Shia against each other and Israel. I’d say Obola is a puppet for Satan’s Beasts’ NWO and will start WWIII to create the global governance required for da End Times and to rebuild the TEMPLE for da Beast’s 42 month rule.
rcourtemanche says
There are problems with western politics and capitalism but must never be superseded by Islamism. Perhaps Obama is a problem in immediately correcting the islamic trend invading the US and the west. Unfortunately,he has more than a year to go to even cause more damage,

Listening to the news discussing Isis in Minneapolis……..well we all knew that…but it is interesting that Fox news has a guest who kept referring to the new recruits as disgruntled…yikes…Of course I am sure that even U.S. officials are under speech restrictions to really identify or expose the ideology and if he really believes his words then God help us. Slander laws, even self imposed ones, are putting the nation at risk. ( We all know that)
Michigan, Florida….like they say almost every state or city has some one ready to move. I would like to see experts on the ideology of our enemy speak on Fox news the ones that CAIR and SPL looses it’s mind about ,,,you know the truth. Or maybe it is better if they think security experts don’t know who they are…and just pop up. Boo
