Poll: Many incorrectly (correctly) call Obama a Muslim (Only 34% believe he is a Christian)
MSNBC ^ | 8/19/2010 | ap

Posted on 08/19/2010 3:36:35 AM PDT by tobyhill

Americans increasingly are convinced — incorrectly — that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion.

Nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, said they think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to a poll released Thursday. The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is down to just 34 percent.

The largest share of people, 43 percent, said they don't know his religion, an increase from the 34 percent who said that in early 2009.

The survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center and its affiliated Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, is based on interviews conducted before the controversy over whether Muslims should be permitted to construct a mosque near the World Trade Center site. Obama has said he believes Muslims have the right to build an Islamic center there, though he's also said he won't take a position on whether they should actually build it.

That's because there is no daylight between his actions and motivations, and a Muslim's actions and motivations.

Gee, what could have given them that idea?

So who, exactly is "correct"? The ones who think he's a Christian or the ones who think he's a Muslim?

I just love these a$hole reporters who insert their opinion into a news article.

Whose to say whether Obama’s A Christian,Muslim or a Jew?for that matter.

All I know is that actions speak louder than words and Obama’s action are highly supportive of Islam.

Every single report of this story used the word ‘incorrectly’.

That said, we have good reason to believe he is a practicing muslim since he has given no indication of being a practicing Christian.

Is the pollster suggesting that there is something wrong with being a muslim??

The percentage of people who say they think he is a Christian is about the same percentage of people who think he is doing a good job.

I wonder if those two statistics are correlated?

Is "Kansas mother" a new religion?

Either that or it's an epithet used by black people in the Midwest.

He’s a rare breed of commie-muslim. Liberals laugh at that label (how can a communist be a Muslim?) but with Obama it’s actually the case.

He’s a stealth Muslim who believes the best way to assist in building Sharia is to first dismantle American freedoms using communism.

A commie-muslim.

That’s what he is.

How does Big Media know what he is? Sounds like the people know more than they do.

Pray for America

“Obama is the Christian son of a Kenyan Muslim father and a Kansas mother.”

We Kansans are simple folk...

We worship small dogs...

We look out for the Evil One

Sometimes we are lead astray by pretenders...

But we always remember that there's no place like home!

Wright is quoted as saying that his church would be a good place for a muslim to hide. Hint, hint.

Obama has not demonstrated any of the markings of a true believer in Christ.

Galatians 5: 22-23:But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
