1. His dad was a Muslim, when Obama was born....in Islam, this makes him born a Muslim. (And no, not just because his middle name is the same as Saddam's last name.)

His dad was born a Muslim, but was essentially atheist/agnostic. And anyway, he left when Obama was two years old. Obama was raised Catholic.
I have no idea what "blood rules" radical Islamists might impose on such things; the ones I've heard about mostly seem to deal with people who are believers themselves, and then switch.

3. He also went to an Islamic school, oversees, for the first X years of his life.
|
No he didn't. He lived for five years in Indonesia (ages 4-8, I believe), where he attended a Catholic school and then a local elementary. Most of the students at the second school were Muslim because most Indonesians are Muslim. But it was not an "Islamic" school.

4. The Islamic texts say to KILL apostates, just like Mohammad did.
|
And other parts say to be kind and tolerant with non-Muslims. And anyway most Muslims ignore the violent parts, just like most Christians ignore Leviticus.

5. Obama *chose* to leave Islam, to become a Christian.
|
No, he didn't.

6. Incredibly, even today, Muslims want to kill apostates. I read a CNN article about Abdel Rahman (sp?) who converted to Christianity like Obama, and was going to be killed by the UN-approved GOVERNMENT of Afghanistan recently, until he was wisked away by Italian authorities to a civilized nation.

Yep. Except for some details.

The Afghan court threw out the charges, albeit on a technicality and under international pressure. Rahman then sought and received asylum.
But again, a global majority of Muslims don't do that.

7. He'd be the leader of the one country standing in the way, the most (and the "Great Satan" according to Hizbollah), of the world-wide Caliphate that Muslims want. This only gives them MORE reason to want to kill this particular apostate....I'm not sure that anybody on the planet would deserve it MORE, in their minds?

As if they need any more motivation to try to take down a U.S. president.
