The First Muslim-Born Leader of the West - Europe preparing itself for Muslim takeover - by Thomas Landen
If I had been asked two months ago “Which Western country runs the greatest risk of electing a Muslim-born leader and how soon do you think this is going to happen?” I would have bet on the Netherlands somewhere in the next decade. Today, it looks as if the first Western country with a Muslim-born leader might very well be the United States next year, when President Barack Hussein Obama enters the Oval Office.
Two weeks ago, in an attempt to explain Europe’s enthusiasm for Mr. Obama, the left wing German weekly Der Spiegel pointed out that the Illinois senator is the most “European” of all the candidates in the U.S. presidential race. “Many in Europe would like nothing more than a ‘European’ America […] Obama personifies Europe’s hopes for a modern America: black, socially minded and gentle,” the German magazine wrote. As if Europe is black, socially minded and gentle… Last week, Algemeen Dagblad, a newspaper in the Netherlands, asked the 150 members of the Dutch House of Representatives how they would vote in the U.S. elections if they could. Mr. Obama got 58 votes, Mrs. Clinton 40, while a mere 23 Dutch parliamentarians – fewer than those who said they had no opinion – would vote Republican. America, sadly, does not even seem to have noticed that there is a problem. It called Mr. Romney to account for his Mormonism but has yet to ask Mr. Obama for his views on Islam.

Why is this linked on EU Digest?? This article is an out-and-out falsehood that seems to be based on an email spreading on the internet. Barack Obama's father was an atheist, and his step-father in Indonesia was not a practicing Muslim either. He did not attend a Muslim school in Indonesia, it was a secular school.
It's all explained on this site dispelling urban myths.

I am dismayed to see this linked on EU-Digest.
Mr. Obama himself needs to be more clear and precise about his background and his plans instead of relying on websites like urbanlegends.about.com to do the explaining for him. McCain will chop him up and have him for dinner if he continues on being nebulous about these issues. That is if he makes it to becoming the Democratic Presidential candidate in November.
