Evangelists want to "save" Obama's Grandma From Eternal Damnation!

NAIROBI, KENYA: A row is simmering between Christians and Muslims in Kenya over reported attempts to convert President Obama’s grandmother, Sarah Obama, to Christianity.”We had invited her to grace our meeting in Kisumu,” Lewis Ondiek, an official with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Kenya, told Ecumenical News International. “Mama Sarah had assured us that she was converting, and we were ready to baptize her today,” Seventh-day Adventist Pastor Tom Obuya claimed.

Some family members stopped Sarah Obama from attending the service, which was led by an Australian evangelist, John Jeremic. Sheikh Mohamed Khalifa, secretary of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, said “Mama Sarah should not be forced by anybody to join Christianity since she is a Muslim. Conversion must take place in a voluntary manner.” He said, “Muslims will not sit and watch one of their own being coerced by some religious leaders to convert to Christianity.”

The 87-year-old Obama captured the media spotlight in the remote, mainly Christian village of Kogelo, in western Kenya, soon after Barack Obama was elected president in November. She is widely sought after to preside over occasions because of her new status.
