Coming Clean

Rupert Murodch‘s media empire made a bit stink about the fact the Barak Obama studied in a “madrassa” when he was a boy. Fox News and The New York Post both reported the story in a manner that made it sound incredibly incriminating. It has drawn my attention to the fact that I, too, need to come clean. Who knows, I may someday be in the public spotlight and it might be brought up that I, too, attended a madrassa. For eight years! It was called Madrassa Saint Edward in Chesterfield County Virginia. It was a religious institution to be sure, but Catholic–not Muslim. And though Catholics can certainly be radical (think of the Inquisition), my childhood madrassa wasn’t particularly radical.

To their credit, other media outlets quickly pointed out the absurdity of the story, and none more effectively than Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Yes, indeed, Obama went to school. Unbelievable. Unfortunately this is a pattern. Whether it is accidentally captioning a picture of Barak Obama as “Barak Osama” or pointing out that Obama’s middle name is “Hussien,” there seems to be a not so subtle pattern of trying to discredit Obama by associating him with Islam. Some may consider this objectionable because Obama isn’t even a Muslim. But that is what makes it unfair and unethical.
