Tirade Against Obama

Along with a variety of Christmas cards, some Santa oriented, some religious, that I have received on the internet, I have also received over the past few days two scurrilous attacks against Barack Obama. They accuse him of masquerading as a Christian in order to infiltrate the government of our country and bring it down. Both of them are filled with Koran quotations which the writer uses to support his accusations, none of which is factually accurate. I hesitate to include his entire tirade since that is exactly what the writer wants readers to do: forward his message to as many people as possible. If you receive a forwarded e-mail with the subject line reading "Important Read" or "Can Muslims Be Good Americans?" you probably are the recipient of this cyber attack on Obama. Instead I suggest you sign into http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp for a point-by-point examination of the charges the writer makes and then this site refutes each one of them. Snopes.com is a website which explores popular "fictions" which are promulgated as fact and includes many more than just the Obama tirade. They call them Urban Legends and all are worth reading. Who knows? Maybe you'll find out that something you always believed was the truth is actually not true at all.
