presidental campaign, born in Chicago I’ve been a Muslim for 35yrs.
I’ve travel to Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, etc. Spoke to thousands
of people and everyone love Barack.
I was in Detorict Sunday and they had the African World Fest and we
past out 2000′s post cards an fliers inviting people to the Cobo Arena and they were selling Obama Tee-shirt, buttom, caps, etc. Sen Obama
said he’s going to unite the Muslim, Christian and good Jews.
Not the (Zionest Jews) I read their Jewish Star News Paper and they don’t like Sen. Barack Obama, the cover articel was 2 pages long an
they aqurise the Sen of being a Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-Isreal, anti-American,etc. Todate, they have been the only people I’ve seen
that have lied on the Senator.
Divide and Conqure; their problem is racist they’re againt anything they don’t control.
