Christians Attempt To Force Obama's Step-Grandmother (Muslim) To Convert!
(facepalm)

Damn religious nuts.

"According to the wire service AFP, Obama's Kenyan step-grandmother is getting some unwanted attention by a Christian church that is trying to convert the Muslim 87-year old against her will.

The Seventh Day Adventist church in the western town of Kisumu had invited 87-year-old Sarah Obama -- a Muslim -- to a function on Saturday, where she was allegedly to be baptised...

"I regret the attempt by the Christian religion to force her to convert," Sheikh Mohamed Khalifa, the organising secretary of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, told AFP.

"Why only her? Why not before Obama became president? Didn't they see her before he became president? We are ready to protect our religion," he said."

1. "Invited to a function" doesn't exactly sound like they were planning
to kidnap, torture, and brainwash her... :eyes:
