A new poll shows that one in five West Virginia voters believe Barack Obama is a Muslim.

And only half of voters in West Virginia say Obama is a Christian – despite a campaign by Obama and his supporters to shoot down the false rumor that he is Muslim.

The poll of 600 likely voters was conducted by Orion Strategies for West Virginia Media and West Virginia Wesleyan College. It shows McCain 11 points ahead of Obama in West Virginia – 52 percent McCain; 41 percent Obama.

[HammerOfTheDogs]

They better not say that in Missouri.

[ken21]

didn’t obamao himself say he was a muslim?

[stevem]

I suspect these questions get tiresome, but who won West Virginia in 2004?

[goldstategop]

West Virginians are just bitter clinger, gun loving nuts and crazed religious fanatics who are racist rednecks to boot!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Bring out the prosecutors and sheriffs.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Gee, the Massholes around here have been telling me that 20% of West Virginians are intelligent.

[BigEdLB]

I am not touching this subject with a 10 foot prayer rug... er... pole.

[rhombus]

600 Likely voters? Shoot, and that there’s just one family.

[Verginius Rufus]

I thought it said Onion Strategies...but it's Orion.

Not everyone who isn't a Muslim is a Christian. Maybe the ones not ready to say Obama is a Christian have listened to Rev. Jeremiah Wright's rants.

[Wilder Effect]

Could be wrong, but has a Democrat ever won the White House without WVA in the last 50 years?

Bellweather like MO?

[antioscar]

the question is... what % of muslims think that obama is a muslim?...;)

[goldstategop]

Red State folks are yahoo yokels; Blue State folks are sophisticated cosmopolitans. No bias there!

[Da Coyote]

Muslim, eh? Perhaps like a Mullah?

Let’s see:

1) Wimpy.
2) Spouts ideas that are silly in the extreme.
3) Everybody else does his dirty work.
4) Actually thinks that he can think.
5) Never had a real job in his life.

Hmmmmm, perhaps they could be right.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Well he sure isn’t a Christian.

In an interview with columnist Cathleen Falsani of Chicago Sun Times in the column “Obama: I have a deep faith,” he took issue with Jesus Christ’ own words concerning Himself being the only way to the Father and Him being the way, truth, and life, and that “no man comes unto the father but by me.”

In his own words, he said that that scripture was open to interpretation. Obama said that there are many paths to the same place, not one path - Jesus.

He basically called Jesus a liar.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING


HOW THE PALIN PICK TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

[bruinbirdman]

"one in five West Virginia voters believe Barack Obama is a Muslim"

4 in 5 West Virginia voters are uninformed.

yitbos

[billorites]

Hey, I heard a good joke about West Virginia the other day...

[KriegerGeist]

They might see the “Truth Squad” showing up in West Virginia signing up people for Obama’s re-education camps.

[kempster]

I just hope Robert C. Byrd wasn’t part of that 20%.

[KoRn]

"600 Likely voters? Shoot, and that there’s just one family."

ROFL!!!!

[4buttons]

The smart money says five in five West Virginia voters say Obama is black.

[counterpunch]

Only 1 in 5?

[goldstategop]

They interviewed mountain hillbillies - the in-bred kind with stump teeth and ugly kids!

Well one in five Texans speak Spanish as their primary language.

[Logical me]

A new poll shows that one in five West Virginia voters believe Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Right on.

[goldstategop]

West Virginia would have gone for Hillary. Its just Obama they can't stand!

[Terry Mross]

Did you notice they called it a “false” rumor? A rumor is a rumor. Who is this writer to determine if it’s a falsity or a truth-s-tude.

[hoosierham]

Obama himself referred to "my Muslim faith" and was corrected by the interviewer!

I suppose 1 in 5 West Virginians saw that clip or heard the audio.

[Morgana]

I am a West Virginian, and I believe B. Hussien Obama is a Muslim!

Morgana

[Dr.Zoidberg]

As long as they don’ t vote for that son of a burka clad camel, I couldn’t care less what they think he is.

They could believe he followed Odin One-eye and I would say more power to them as long as they know he’s a dangerous piece of garbage and act accordingly.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Obama said that the Muslim call to prayer was the most beautiful sound on earth.

That's all I need.

[353FMG]

With the many anti-Christians in this country, Obama’s faith may be an asset for him.

[Morgana]

The muslim call to prayer sounds like the mating call of a sick Brontosaurs.

[wvguy]

600 Likely voters? Shoot, and that there’s just one family.

Really?

[cookcounty]

No he isn’t, however, according to A) an American Thinker article today, and confirmed by B) a friend of mine who is East African, “Obama” is the Swahili form of “Osama.”

Is that not wierd? A guy named Barack Hussein Osama runs for president, 7 years after 9/11.

[kingattax]

I just hope Robert C. Byrd wasn’t part of that 20%.

when is ol' sheets gonna weigh in and tell us what the constitution says about this financial markets mess ?

[attiladhun2]

He may not be a muslim, but he has palled around with terrorists. He even sat on a board with one, and handed out $100 million, without improving the education of Chicago’s kids an iota. Now that is probably considered valuble “experience” in Thugville, but nowhere else.

[Godwin1]

Only one in five?

[philled]

He is as Muslim as he is Caucasian.

[Berlin_Freeper]

LoL! Exactly.

[rfp1234]

Well, that’s not as bad as the 45 to 50% of voters nationwide, who say that Obambi is qualified to be POTUS.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

what % of muslims think that obama is a muslim?...;)

100% of the ones I know.

[Ciexyz]

bump with no comment.

[hinckley buzzard]

They may well be right. I make the odds about even money that the chickenboy really is a closet moslem. Joining the UCC whorehouse does not make one a Christian, by any stretch.

[joshhiggins]

Isn’t it the matter of 80% of voters still believe Obama’s “False denials” that he is a mohammedan.

When the press speaks of “false rumors” they are indicating their bias.

[ApplegateRanch]

The "false rumor" is that he is a practicing Muslim; or, conversely, that he is not a Muslim sympathizer.

Legally, under Shari'a, he IS a Muslim; and perhaps an apostate, or perhaps a takiya 'stealth Muslim'.

We'll know for sure if he converts reverts to Calypso Louise's fold next year.

Remember that he & Michele say they won't pick a 'new church' until after the inauguration.

[Albion Wilde]

the question is... what % of muslims think that obama is a muslim?...;)

99.99%.

[hinckley buzzard]

In his own words, he said that that scripture was open to interpretation. Obama said that there are many paths to the same place, not one path - Jesus.

Well. All that does is qualify him to be Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church. Katherine Jefferts Shar'ia the Holy Squidmother said that very same thing awhile back.
