An update on the inaccurate reporting about Barack Obama and Islam.

Insight magazine, a conservative magazine owned by the Unification Church, isn’t backing down on whether it should have published the article in which it accused Sen. Hillary Clinton’s staff of spreading a rumor that Obama once attended a Muslim religious school.

Its position? It was simply reporting what its unnamed sources said Clinton’s side was doing.

From Insight’s web page: “For the record, Insight never—not once—in its article claims that Obama went to a Madrassa. We didn’t claim it; Hillary’s people did. We reported—and we fully stand by our story—that the Hillary Clinton camp had conducted their own opposition research on Obama’s Muslim past, and that the Clinton investigators had concluded Obama had attended a Madrassa.”

But Insight is the one responsible for spreading a story that was flat out wrong.

Clinton’s staff have denied the allegations, Obama has dismissed it as untrue, CNN traveled to the school in question and determined it was public school.

Plus the story just doesn’t seem to make sense. The madrassas they’re talking about teach an austere form of Islam and are financed by Saudi Arabia. But Saudi Arabia didn’t start spreading the doctrine of Wahabism with its oil wealth until the 1970s. Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 to 1971.
