A widely viewed video seems to show President Obama stating that he is a Muslim. It is false, and the product of dishonest editing.
Although it is titled "Obama Admits He Is A Muslim," the president in fact has admitted no such thing. The video edits and twists his actual words, sometimes turning what were denials into false confessions. For example, it edits out the words "I’m a Christian" from one quote and "my Christian faith" from another. It shows him quoting from the Quran, but snips out his quotes from the Bible and the Talmud.
Although the video gives no citations and no dates, we have tracked down the full quotes from the various appearances. In the Analysis section that follows, we take the video section by section, comparing the edited quotes and graphics with the full reality of what Obama actually said.
We doubt many will take this nasty bit of misrepresentation seriously. Nevertheless, it provides an interesting case study of malicious editing.
Edited quote: Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country — I know, because I am one of them.
Full quote: The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country — I know, because I am one of them.
Edited quote: My father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan [call to prayer] at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.
Full quote: I’m a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.
Edited quote: So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction
Full quote: So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t.
Edited Quote — Obama: You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith
Full Quote — Obama: You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith and you’re absolutely right that that has not … Stephanopoulos (interrupting): Your Christian faith. Obama: My Christian faith. Well, what I’m saying … Stephanopoulos (interrupting): Connections, right. Obama (continuing) is that he hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim, and I think that his campaign upper echelons have not either. What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not what who I say I am when it comes to my faith, something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.
The list goes on and on, it's all been manipulated.
Do a Google search about this video and you will see the same findings on other websites.
Has anybody seen Obama quoting the Lords prayer in public? No. Has he defended the Catholic OR Protestant faiths in ANY WAY,SHAPE OR FORM? No.Does Obama stand by,encourage,and protect the enemies of Israel? Yes.What are all good Muslims called to do? Lie to the infidels.
Did you hear the one about "Dhimmitude"? Every-blind-leading-the-blind,Anti Obama, Self proclaimed Christian, passed that email around so fast and posted on their silly blogs. So so sad. Whoops!
