Bibliography – My Writings on Barack Obama's Early Years as a Muslim

I wrote a series of articles on Obama's Muslim childhood that have attracted some hundreds of thousands readers. For convenience sake, I list them here in chronological order (and will update this bibliography as needed):

• "Was Barack Obama a Muslim?" FrontPageMag.com, December 24, 2007. Raises questions about Obama's childhood religion and considers its implications for the campaign and the presidency.

  Barack Obama in Kenya.

• "Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam." FrontPageMag.com, January 7, 2008. Replies to a critique of the previous article by "Media Matters for America."
• "Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood." Jerusalem Post, May 1, 2008. Pulls together existing information on Obama's childhood religion.
• "Barack Obama through Muslim Eyes," FrontPageMag.com, August 25, 2008. Reviews the confused Muslim reactions to Obama's religion.

I also raised some other Obama-and-the-Middle-East subjects before he became president:

• "Obama Would Fail Security Clearance," The Philadelphia Bulletin, October 21, 2008. Deals not with Obama's childhood religion but with his many ties to extremist Islam, and to the Council on American-Islamic Relations and to the Nation of Islam in particular. For follow-up on this article, see "More on the links between Obama and extremist Islam." (Oct 21, 2008)
• "Obama's Mansion, Saddam's Money," The Philadelphia Bulletin, October 29, 2008. Traces the "complicated connection" from the Democratic Party presidential candidate to the executed Iraqi tyrant via two corrupt Middle East businessmen living in the West, Nadhmi Auchi and Antoin S. "Tony" Rezko. Note also the additional details and updates at "More on the Links between Obama and Saddam Hussein." (Oct. 29, 2008)

Finally, I follow the subject of Obama and Islam after his election as president:

• "Muslims Respond to President Obama." DanielPipes.org, November 7, 2008. With Obama elected president, how Muslims see Obama's religion.

• "Barack Obama and Islam: An Ongoing Saga." DanielPipes.org, January 19, 2009. The flip side: follows Obama's statements about Islam through his presidency.

• "Obama, 'Respect' and Muslims." DanielPipes.org, January 26, 2009. Follows the mind-numbing times Obama talks about respecting Muslims.

• "Islam in Obama's Cairo Speech." DanielPipes.org, June 4, 2009. Looks in some detail at the capstone of Obama's efforts vis-à-vis the Muslim world.
