Obama has apparently confirmed what many have suspected since the presidential campaign: that he is a Muslim, not a committed Christian, as he professed during the presidential campaign.
The periodical Israel Today has reported that in a private meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Obama told Gheit that he is a Muslim. The exchange was aired on Nile TV.

He is not going to resign.
He is not going to be impeached.
And with the Democrats in charge of the electoral process, he has a good chance of being re-elected if there is an election or selection held in 2012 but first we have to get past 2010 and it is a long way until November.
Atheist may be a bit strong. I suspect he's more of an agnostic, or even more likely, someone with a vague idea about God but doesn't want to live with the restrictions that any actual religion might place on him.
But this idea about him being Muslim is so absurd, I can't believe anyone takes it seriously.
There are too many idiots around here whose grasp of logic is so poor, they find the following argument persuasive:
Obama bad.
Muslims bad
Ergo Obama=Muslim.
I get more and more dissapointed with this place every day.
Why?
His father was a muslim.
His step father was a muslim.
He was raised as a muslim.
He says he converted from islam to Christianity but no price was placed on his head.
Have so many things going on..jumping from one thing to another..for example..Jefferson may have translated Vattel into manuscript.
Remember seeing a video somewhere Obama touching his chest..did not realize its importance at the time.
Remember where the 911 killers were the night before they flew into the WTC?
They were about to ‘martyr’ themselves, and believed that was an irrevocable key to Allah’s everlasting favor.
Re: Obama. If you believe he lives each day in submission to Allah, your definition of submission and mine are so different, we aren’t even speaking the same language.

Obama said “All religions contain truth”
It takes a certain amount of humility to be an agnostic. One has to admit there are things one doesn’t know. I’ve never seen a hint of humility in Obama. Rather, I see the arrogant sophomore who knows it all, and doesn’t mind admitting it. Fwiw.
“hes on Youtube mocking the Old Testament”
i NEVER HEARD OF THIS! ??
OOPS NEVER MIND.
I found it. and YES he did mock the Bible... and also acted as tho he had no grasp of the words and thoughts he was reading.

For someone who claims not to be an Obama supporter... he has made many excuses for Obama’s actions. He also has cast multiple dispersions and made other negative remarks about his fellow Freepers. I think people should realize that his remarks follow a certain pattern and that they should not let him hurt their feelings. One definately gets the feeling that he thinks he is better than the rest of us. A small sampling of his comments follow:
I find arguing with cranks, such as birthers, to be enjoyable. But at other times, when I'm not in the mood, I find it annoying, in which case I confine myself to drive-by snark.
Obama has done more to prove his eligibility to the public than any other president.
There are too many idiots around here whose grasp of logic is so poor,
Birther stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
Therefore, you are a liar, whether you wish to admit it or not.
Since lying is a sin, I suggest you stop. Consider this fraternal correction from a fellow believer.
But then again, nothing birthers say ever makes much sense.
It would be funny if it weren't so sad. I suggest you go seek professional help.
Face it, sparky, Hawaii says Obama was born in Hawaii.
Birthism provides an amazing insights into the development of irrational beliefs among population groups.
You know what is hilarious? Watching birthers, again and again, make arguments in front of judges, only to get their cases dismissed.
This place is getting overrun by paranoid conspiracy nuts who are prepared to betray the constitution.
BTW, how's your project on teaching pigs to fly going?
Seriously, why does anyone listen to what this kook has to say?
Sure thing, Sparky.
The state of Hawaii says he was born in Hawaii. Case closed.
You appear to be sorely lacking in your reading comprehension skills. Have you ever thought of going back to school?
They'll continue with the bizarre conspiracy theories no matter what he does. Birtherism is a religion, and no amount of contrary evidence can convince the faithful that they are wrong.
Sure. Just like the transfer of the title to the bridge you bought last week from Joey in Brooklyn is taking longer than expected. ROFLOL.
Way to go captain obvious!
Why should he, when he has no legal obligation to do so, and by not doing so he encourages the lunatic fringe element of his opposition to become ever more vocal?
I should know better than to take anything a birther says at face value.
If I lost my credibility with the ignorant who are so poorly read that they don't even understand the difference between communism and corporatism, I'll wear it as a badge of honor.
I find the anti-intellectual attidute of so many on this thread to be really frightening.
He's not a socialist. He's not a Marxist. He's not a fascist. He's a corproratist social democrat, nothing more and nothing less.
Birther paranoia never ceases to amaze me.
I suppose the next thing you'll tell me is that black helicopters took all the evidence and hid it in Area 51.
This Foreign Minister is about to be thrown under Obama’s bus.
More proof he's neither a Muslim nor a Christian.
If we can get a video of that exchange, we can all post it on facebook and the other sites we visit.
True. On the other hand, as William James once noted, it takes a lot of and backbone to be atheist. I don't think he's got it.
In light of this, I'd say he's probably neither an atheist nor an agnostic. Like many people of his social class, he's unwilling to give up on the idea of God, but he's also unwilling to submit himself to the rules of any organized religion.
In other words, he wants the comfort of religion without any of the rigor. He's sort of a half-baked theist for who simply doesn't take religion very seriously.
Here is why I think Obama is a hardcore atheist: his ongoing macabre and stomach-turning support of partial birth abortion, and the strong stand he took for placing a baby who had survived partial birth abortion in with the dirty laundry, to die of hypothermia and dehydration. No man with even a scintilla of suspicion that a just God might possibly exist could champion such causes. Fear of judgment would override PC; the survival instinct is very strong.
