As I've noted here since the 2004 Senatorial campaign, the Obama is a Muslim issue is a loser. Too many Christians in America who think someone can accept Christ and become a Christian. Personally, I have issues with liberation theology as it impacts secular political decisions, Pope Benedict wrote extensively on the topic as a Cardinal. The Reverend Wright version, black liberation theology, simply adds racism to the Marxist mix. But to argue that he's a Muslim is a loser. And I understand many posters will tell me he's not a Christian, that's a losing arguement as well. Neither will win votes.
Well, he’s probably not a “practicing” Muslim, but he’s as much of a Muslim as my non practicing Catholic friends are Catholics.
Obama is not a Muslim. Rather he belonged to a Christian sect with a low Christology, one that some Muslims can accept, of Jesus as “messiah” in the sense that the Koran regards him as Messiah. He serves as forerunner of Mohammed who is the final prophet. Hence, Obama has a very tolerant view of Islam, thinking of it as a Third World religion and its adherents, like most Third World people as having been oppressed by western colonialism. No doubt that, indirectly, he has been imbued with the Leninist view of western imperialism, since that view dominate western academia.
