NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — President Barack Obama’s polygamist half brother in Kenya has married a woman who is more than 30 years younger than him.
The 19-year-old’s mother told The Associated Press on Friday she is furious that her daughter quit high school and married the 52-year-old.
Mary Aoko Ouma says her daughter tried to marry Malik Obama two years ago, but the mother says she wouldn’t give permission.
Malik Obama, who is Muslim, has two other wives. Polygamy is legal in Kenya if it falls under religious or cultural traditions.
In an interview broadcast by Kenya’s NTV that was filmed without his knowledge, Malik Obama says he married the 19-year-old but didn’t say when.

Posted on October 15, 2010 at 8:10pmHere’s an issue for ya…
I just read an article on (I believe) the Republic (got there through Newsmax). The draw to the article was, it said the GOP would impeach Obama. However, as I continued to read it, they said it would NOT BE ANYTIME SOON!
They said it would probably be done AFTER HIS SECOND TERM if he was re-elected!
Now, that’s real news. Feel any better now?
Myself, I felt like throwing up. They aren’t gonna touch him. They’re gonna let him finish out his term, with no action, which to me signals the end of the country. We’re being duped by the GOP, too.
We all need to pray for enough constitutionalists in office or his agenda will be completed. Welcome to the USSA.

Would anyone in their right mind believe that this person is truly devote to Atheism, yet somehow when applied to Osama, it is okay.
When asked about your faith, you initially respond with what is in your heart(aka, the truth). I’ve never met anyone who is of ANY faith, mis-speak about WHICH faith they believe in!
Anywho, who cares about his brother? Osama doesn’t. He marries a kid, okay….it is his life.

I feel personally, that the POTUS has hatred feelings towards anyone of higher income, and who happens to be whitey! I’m Americn of Mexican decent by the way. anyhow, I feel this guy is very socialist despite his denial. 1. he was raised by an asian person as well, and from my experince around asian people, asians are very pro communist,msocialist,or anything that resembles it. they are very obidient ti their parents despite the fact that parents can,and will be wrong. they feel the gov should take care of them! they dont understand that here in America, we take care of ourselves! If we want something we work for it! if we worry about our elder parents, we earn more, not rely on the gov to take care of us! please understand my rambles folks, and please respond with you asian stories as well. i am in no way stating racial hatred, i am stating my opinion that folks of different backgrounds and their mindsets brought on by their upbringing. yes i understand this can and will be disputed, but listen, we are American first!

Posted on October 15, 2010 at 7:35pmThis only gives insight into the morons who are drinking the kool-aid out of the “fever swamps”. This article is as insightful as saying Mormons and Muslim must be related because founded (still practice) with polygamy (with underage girls in both cases). If you think that is telling. Please seek help…it is only telling that these religions are always subjects to the man and his desires and not the other way around.

Posted on October 17, 2010 at 3:24amTo ARCHITOR: you are right in the LDS does not condone the practice of polygamy, there are a few Mormon sects that still maintain the practices and beliefs of the founders (with did include marrying adolescents). The same is true in Muslims in America. While there might be a small fraction that practice the fundamentals of their faith, the majority of has done away with such arcane practices. But as for consummation, there is little evidence that it was only the “wack jobs” that did such in the past. We can only hope that is true.

Posted on October 15, 2010 at 8:10pmIt is a news story. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I see news stories all the time about relatives of politicians who get caught drinking and driving. It gives me a perspective on where they came from and what their family is like. However, that does not necessarily reflect the ideas or actions of the politician. We all have at least one person in our family that does not reflect our own idea(s) of morality.

Posted on October 15, 2010 at 8:43pmWalkWithMe: You are correct, Barak Obama is not a Muslim. However, his long-time preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright teaches false Christian doctrine..
Jeremiah Wright’s sermons sound like Louis Farrakhan who is a national representative of the Nation of Islam religion. So I understand how people confuse the two.
This is from Trinity United Church of Christ’s own web site:
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.”
Read the Black Value system here
(http://www.trinitychicago.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=114)
Which leads me to the conclusion that Barak Obama is neither Muslim, nor Christian.
