Barack Obama had Indonesian citizenship&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2. Barack Obama had the legal name Barry Soetoro&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;3. Barack Obama was a Muslim, despite his “fight the smears” claim that he never has been.

[revision: There was an &lt;A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/24/AR2007012400371_pf.html"&gt;AP story story in Jan. 2007&lt;/A&gt;, but it did not include this photo]. The photo has become relevant now in the context of other revelations reported on this blog.

The document lists Barry Soetoro as a &lt;STRONG&gt;Indonesian citizen&lt;/STRONG&gt;, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy’s &lt;STRONG&gt;religion as Islam&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/breaking-photo-documents-barry-soetoro-indonesian/</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:52:39 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>What the heck is going on here?</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/90A1A920-6DD0-4F75-AFF7-7FF3F80E7A6F/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/willhelm/"&gt;willhelm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  I've noticed this word co-conspirator occurring with much more regularity over the past few years. It sounds ridiculous to me. Does it annoy anyone else? Isn't it redundant? Like saying someone is a co-team-member? Doesn't the conspirator part automatically imply the co part. For example: A and B are conspirators.&lt;br/&gt;Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://news.google.com/news?rlz=1B3GGGL_en___US229&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wn&amp;ned=&amp;q=co-conspirator&amp;ie=UTF-8" title="http://news.google.com/news?rlz=1B3GGGL_en___US229&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wn&amp;ned=&amp;q=co-conspirator&amp;ie=UTF-8"&gt;news.google.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV class="lh"&gt;&lt;A id="s-A2DImKfyXuf1H_nNExCGAA:u-AFQjCNFE3KFhpOsvk6Y-i8_UmbK7N_pydQ:r-0_1229146301" href="http://cricket.expressindia.com/news/Ad-campaign-promoting-Islam-angers-NY-lawmaker/339381/"&gt;Ad campaign promoting Islam angers NY lawmaker&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;FONT size="-1"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#6f6f6f"&gt;Expressindia.com, India -&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;NOBR&gt;Jul 22, 2008&lt;/NOBR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;FONT size="-1"&gt;The filing, McCarthy said, has been called a "&lt;B&gt;co-conspirator&lt;/B&gt; list".

They have also shown that the Nazi interpretation of religion is not accepted by the mass of pious people in Germany, and that the idea of a military, patriotic Christ has not yet conquered over the gentler, nobler idea which inspires better Christians than the Nazis, and which is summed up in the teaching, “Love thy neighbour as thyself.”   &lt;br/&gt;There was a similar relationship between the Chruch and Mussolini, who despised Theists and the organized Church.&lt;br/&gt;Fascism was characteristically anti-Christian in practice - public and personal.

a German book called “Christianity in National-Socialism,” which attempts to
proclaim and prove the following doctrines:
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;•  First,
that “the philosophy of the Nazis is in accordance with God’s creative will,
and with the teaching of Christianity”; 
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;• 
Secondly, that the principles and the deeds of the Nazis are practical
applications of the doctrines of Christ; and 
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;• 
Finally, that the Nazis are the only true defenders of Christianity. 
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;He first shows
that God is on the side of the Nationalists, for He divided men into races and
nations, just as He divided living beings into various animals and the world
into various regions: “We would seek in vain for German oaks in India and
Indian palms in Germany, for Polar bears in Africa and elephants on the North
Pole.” 
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P align="justify" class="MsoNormal"&gt;“God who has
created men of such different types has placed in them the urge to keep and to
develop their national and racial qualities.  Who fights against this is a
fool, and is sinning against God and God’s will.”
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.garethjones.org/german_articles/under_hitler_5.htm</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:49:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>“Jihad is from Mars and Islam is from Venus”</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/1843F12F-F337-43E7-8CB5-43C204C8D4E1/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/willhelm/"&gt;willhelm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NmE5NDZiOGRjMmY4OGVlODFiNmQ5ZjczYjEzM2RlZjA=&amp;w=MA" title="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NmE5NDZiOGRjMmY4OGVlODFiNmQ5ZjczYjEzM2RlZjA=&amp;w=MA"&gt;article.nationalreview.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;I have come to believe that the Western way of life — which I’ll define in brief as life lived according to Judeo-Christian-evolved morality and liberty — is imperiled by the demographic spread and influence of Islamic ideology and laws. Notice I didn’t say the spread of “Islamism.” Or “Islamist-ism.” Or “Islamofascism.” Or just “Wahhabism.” Or “fundamentalist militant extremism.” Over the years, I have used most of these “ists” and “isms” in my column, trying them out one by one until I got to the point where I realized they were serving as a distraction, a form of verbal camouflage that turns our attention away from the ideology and laws of Islam itself. In the cause of not-giving-offense — the highest cause of Westerners-turned-multiculturalists—we have prevented ourselves from undertaking a hard-eyed appraisal of Islamic ideology as a whole, jihadism included, and engaging in a serious discussion of how to contain it. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NmE5NDZiOGRjMmY4OGVlODFiNmQ5ZjczYjEzM2RlZjA=&amp;w=MA</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:04:40 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The World’s Top 20 Public Intellectuals</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/BD2B4920-1B4D-4864-8DCD-48DD62813609/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/dakotayii/"&gt;dakotayii&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Lot's and lot's of Muslim.

The assumption underlying such a judgment, whether about Islamophobia or bigotry generally, is that all people are good (except for people who don't believe that all people are good), and that no people can be a threat (except for those people who believe that some people can be a threat). Since all people (that is, all people who don't hate nothing except hatred) are good, and since no people are enemies (except for the people who believe that there are enemies), any negative statement about a group (&lt;EM&gt;except&lt;/EM&gt; for negative statements about the society's own majority group) is by definition a false, vicious, dehumanizing attack on that group.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3255</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 15 May 2008 16:48:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>A "single Muslim authority in Europe"</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/304667EA-4DF0-48A8-8FB9-8ACE49936FFB/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/willhelm/"&gt;willhelm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  "Elsewhere in the piece, the author makes the link between Islam as a “universal” religion and Muslims as “global citizens”.
