Increasing number of Americans say Obama is Muslim
An increasing number of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim, according to a new poll by the think tank Pew Research Centre. The share of Americans who believe the president is Muslim has increased from 12 per cent in 2008 to 18 per cent today.

And if he IS Muslim, so what?

He has the right to be any religion he wants. Or no religion at all.

I don't think Obama has any religion. Or maybe follows some sort of "cafeteria" belief in a Higher Power.

Does it really matter?

Must the POTUS be a religious man?

This is just another symptom of what ails our country. Ten years after the horrific attack on our country, terrorism has won our hearts & minds.

Obama has said he is Christian and there has been nothing to refute that. I think he should know more than anyone else what he believes. But like Wanda says, what does it matter?

Some folks are saying this is what the "birthers" are latching onto now since they lost - the leader went all the way to the Supremes and lost - she has to pay a fine ($20,000 I think) for filing a frivolous law suit claiming Obama is not a citizen. LOL

People like Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck. I can't help but wonder how far into the future they are projecting. My guess is 2012.

It's a matter of trust.

To repeat something that the founders thought important enough that they placed it right in the constitution:

Quote:
no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.


http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A6.html

Anyone (Teabaggers, for example) who makes a big deal about upholding the constitution had better keep this pesky part in mind.

With the high percentage of non-believers in Obama's religion vrs. all the information that is available to the contrary it's pretty depressing the large number of people who simply cannot process information objectively.

I read a piece by a Muslim - very funny - where he is bragging that Obama is so obviously a Muslim - he must be because 20% of Americans say he is. Forget the fact that Obama says he is Christian. Or the fact that he attended a Christian church for 20+ years and then the Rev. Wright break. Forget that Obama drinks beer (forbidden in Islam). Or that Obama eats pork (forbidden in Islam). Or that Obama has not been in a mosque the entire time he has been in office. Or the fact that Obama has appointed women to top positions in his administration. Or that he nominated a Jewish woman to the Supreme Court. Yes, he is obviously a Muslim.

IMO Barach Hussein Obama is a Muslim in his heart and a Communist sympathizer. He only says he is christian as a front but his form of christianity as spouted by his Reverend wright is a form of christianity no other American christians would accept on a stack of bibles as it goes against thhe very gospel Jesus gave us. Obama's christianity believes his salvation will happen only when collectively all others are saved. Collective salvation is the ant theses of true individual salvation. Obam does not follow the words of Jesus who says He is the truth and the life and the only way to heaven and God. Obama says there are many paths to God going totally against the statements of the Son of God. I think he does not believe in hell either, but he will when he gets there.
Paul
