Mike,

Thank you for your reply:
“Now don’t get me wrong. The particulars are NOT about what faith Obama professed or was brought up in as a child, or his religion, now or in the past. It is about the worrying fact that he HAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH about his early background and that this CONCEALMENT is the issue that should be a matter of public interest.”

Yet Mr. Kimball wrote:
“Barack Hussein Obama’s possible connections with Islam is only one of the mysteries that the public deserves to learn more about.”

If Kimball’s concern were, like yours, about TRUTH-TELLING, and NOT about possible connections to ISLAM, why would he, a skilled writer, choose to motivate concern about HONESTY by writing such a sentence? The theme and salient subject of that sentence is clearly HUSSEIN’s connections with ISLAM.
