Obama Recites The Islamic Call To Prayer In Perfect Arabic. All media from Fair Use.

On February 27th, 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer -- the Adhan -- with a first-class Arabic accent.

The Adhan is as follows:

Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.

According to Islamic scholars, reciting this prayer, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the world.

    Normally it wouldn't matter, if he'd just come out and say that he's a muslim as this prayer affirms. "I testify there is none worthy of worship but Allah" is in no way uncertain about it's meaning. Yet he continues to swear publicly that he's Christian for some unknown reason and attends the church of a pastor that (in)famously said "Damn America, that's in the Bible."

    If he's a Muslim, why try and hide it, and if he's a Christian, why say the Islamic prayer?

    He's an evil political opportunist. He has no opinion of his own. His opinion is whatever the latest poll shows. He has lied on many occasions. He has made more promises than he has kept. He's just an all around shitty person, and easily in the lower percentile of effective Presidents.

    It's not about his religion. It's about honesty and integrity.

    As a Coptic Christan, I find your assumption that there is something wrong with the fact that someone can speak perfect Arabic absolutely prejudice and extremely ignorant. Also, that last photo has been proven as a hoax for several years. That photo was taken half a second before he put his hand on his heart. You should take this video down if your want to give yourself any credibility.
