His mother was Jewish, so technically he would be Jewish by birth as well.
If he was a Muslim, wouldn't he make Michelle dress more conservatively and wear head scarves, etc.?
I dunno, but it makes absolutely no sense.
It's called paranoia.
Must be the name. You hear the name Jacque Cousteau and you automatically think he's French.
I thought it was pretty obvious he is an atheist. He couldn't throw his "spiritual leader" Wright under the bus fast enough when it looked like it might jeopardize his White House run.
the obvious answer to me is that he is a black guy whose middle name is hussien, whose dad was from kenya, whose stepfather was a muslim, and who never spent much time in the lower 48 in his formative years
but I dont believe he is or ever was a muslim
because his dad's name sounds like a Muslim,
why it matters is the more important question
Who cares what religion he belongs to.
Here's their thought process:
Obama: bad, evil, un-American
Muslims: bad, evil, un-American
....Therefor, all muslims are related to Obama.
I know you are joking but they speak an alien language, come from an alien culture, adhere to a different religion, live on the other side of the planet, and are of a different skin color.
To some ignorant red necks they might as well be as evil and alien as this little bugger:
Propaganda is capable of making anything out of them in the minds of some, they are abstract concepts not humans that can be related to for them.
Personally I don't care what religious corporation the guy wants to be a part of. The president like anyone should have the right to religious free exercise.
Propaganda is capable of making anything out of [Americans] in the minds of some [Muslims], they are abstract concepts not humans that can be related to for them.
Or, more generally stated:
Propaganda is capable of making anything out of [Xs] in the minds of some [Ys], they are abstract concepts not humans that can be related to for them
His mother was Jewish, so technically he would be Jewish by birth as well.
Because he says things like, "my Muslim faith" during interviews?
Period? Across the board? In the manner of The Tolerant & Politically Correct?
What if a tenet of a person's religion calls for the conversion or annihilation of Infidels? Still okay?
You bet.
