I think what Allah is pointing out, and Allah, like many of us, wants McCain-Palin to win, is that it is very possible that such attacks will turn Obama into a victim, and there are negitive sides for McCain in doing that.

“I think what Allah is pointing out, and Allah, like many of us, wants McCain-Palin to win,”
The longer clip does not explain anything away. And I don’t recall anyone on FR saying Obama admitted he was a Muslim, but that he made or gaffe, or a Freudian slip.
He was trying to say that no one in the McCain campaign had CLAIMED he was a Muslim. But he said no one had “questioned my Muslim faith.” Then Stephanopoulos corrected him with “Christian faith,: then Obama accepts the correction and repeats it.
This was some combination of a gaffe and a Freudian slip, on a subject that few would ever make such a gaffe. “My Muslim faith” was a very bad choice of words if he meant no one in the McCain campaign had claimed he was a Muslim.
