There's just no convincing some people.

Nearly one in five people —18% — wrongly believe President Barack Obama is a Muslim, according to a poll released on Thursday.

The number is up from the 11% who thought Obama was a Muslim in March 2009. The percentage who correctly believe the president is Christian is down to 34%.

The largest share of those polled— 43% — said they weren't sure what the president's religion is, up from the 34% who said they didn't know early last year.

The public never sees Obama going to church, they see him cancelling the Nat'l Day of Prayer, they seem him approve partial birth abortion.

And yet they're supposed to believe he's a christian?

Didn't you see the christmas pictures with Michelle and girls?

Oh, that's right, Imam Hussien Obama doesn't celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus.

Imam Hussein Obama is not celebrating Ramadan.

He is only hosting an Iftar and fasting for fun.

He’s probably a cultural muslim with an affinity towards Islam simply because he was raised in the culture in Indonesia and his paternal antecedents are muslim.

He’s as culturally muslim as many in the US are culturally Catholic or culturally Jewish. I have had Jewish co-workers who never set foot in a Temple or pray at all unless it is Kaddish at a relatives funeral, and family members who are “catholic” in name only and haven’t practiced their faith in decades.

The point of all this is that Obama has a natural affinity for those who are similar to him in upbringing and cultural background.

He bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

His wife did not continue his world tour a few months ago - as would have been proper for a First Lady - and bailed on the tour as it headed into Muslim countries. She has never been with him in a Muslim country since he is President.

He attended Muslim school as a boy.

His adopted father was Muslim. (I’m not sure about the Kenyan.)

When transferred to Columbia in college, he was roomed with Muslims.

His name is Muslim.

He just went on vacation for Ramadan.

Now - on the other hand - the “Christian” church he attended in Chicago was run by a racist bigot.

He skips prayer breakfasts.
He causes Christian messages to be covered up when he speaks at Christian locations.

If this jerk doesn’t want thinking people to ignore his water carrying media, I suggest he release his applications to Occidental and Columbia.

Well, he was a devout muslim as a child (devout enough to take mengaji classes to learn the Koran in Arabic), his college roommates were muslim, and his mentor Jeremiah Wright was muslim until he discovered he could broaden his church's appeal with a Christian facade (that still welcomes muslims BTW and does not require them to recant their muslim faith).

And his Cairo speech, his NASA outreach, his being called the Messiah by Farrakhan (obviously the muslim messiah since Farrakhan in a muslim), his support for Abdul Rauf's GZM...all point to his being a muslim.

But of course, as long as he hides his true identity, all we have to rely on is circumstantial evidence.

It's a pretty sad day when a poll about this would even be considered.

We've been attacked 3 times...None of these actions were condemned by Obama. He just went out for ice cream.

Ft Hood was successful. The Prez told us not to jump to conclusions.

We have a radical Muslim for President.

If a muslim terrorist were elected POTUS bent on destroying the country as much as possible without getting impeached, I don't see he would do one thing different.

Obama: A “Christian” by convenience.

People identify religiously all the time based on economic or political expediency. Obama falls into this category.

Obama grew up with an atheist family, the only religious background of significance was the muslim input of his stepfather Lolo Soetero and the residual influence of Obama’s sentimentality about his Luo ancestry.

There is no record anywhere of any “Christian commitment” prior to his showing up at Reverend Wright’s church, which by his own testimony he did because as a “community organizer” in the African-American community it is important to cultivate relationships with the religious leaders.

Is he a muslim? Probably not. Is he a “christian?” Probably not, unless one defines “christian” in merely formal, nominal ways.

We never see him participating or attending services, and in his only connection with a church since inauguration, his speech in the chapel of Georgetown University, he insisted on the bizarre step of making sure that the image of Jesus was draped in a huge, aesthetically jarring cloth.

” He’s as culturally muslim as many in the US are culturally Catholic or culturally Jewish”

Agree, but do think he goes out of his way to demonstrate his
worldliness for personal rather than country reasons.

To me , it’s always about him.

Question: anyone else remember seeing/hearing about his being able to recite the “ call to prayer” in perfect arabic with the right tone/accent?

It was said during his campaign that the two Obama children do not get Christmas gifts. When a man changes his name to a Muslim name most people would believe he is a Muslim. He was groomed to accomplish an agenda long planned by others. He is doing quite well.

BO worships himself. Remember, he told his brain-dead cult, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Who would be arrogant enough to speak such a line but a defective personality?

Imam Obama seemed to take personal offense regarding the Mosque in NY. Like it really pissed him off.

I Wonder why ....

One thing is for sure, he is VERY feminine. I, for one, believe the story about Obama getting his freak on with another man in the back of a limo.

I think he’s a Muslim in culture only, he doesn’t seem to really believe in the muslim religion per se. Just a typical American leftist. If he sees someone who hates America, he immediately thinks they are his friend.

I guess I'm in the majority.I believe that he was *once* a moslem but that,for years,he's been an atheist.another thing I know is that he's *never* been a Christian.Thirty seconds of listening to the “Reverend” Wright made *that* clear.
