Hard on the heels of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, significant numbers of Americans think President Obama is a Muslim. The uncomfortable fact for the White House is the more the American people get to know Mr. Obama, the more they think he is a follower of Islam....
Suspicions were raised by Obama presidential policies, such as taking a harder line on Israel, ordering that radical Islamic terrorists be referred to only as "violent extremists" and engaging in an unprecedented and obsequious outreach to Muslim countries. Mr. Obama's bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, in April 2009, didn't help matters much....
[P]erceptions that Mr. Obama is Muslim keep growing. An April 2008 USA Today poll showed 10 percent thought he was Muslim and 53 percent Christian. The latest Pew poll, however, shows the number believing him to be a follower of Islam has swelled to 18 percent, while the number believing him to be Christian declined to 34 percent. A new poll by Time magazine has 24 percent thinking Mr. Obama worships Allah.
None of this confirms the president is a Muslim, but it keeps speculation running wild.

Hmm, title should be “Presumed” not “Presume”
This issue is getting way from BO/BS and there is nothing he can do to stop the momentum.
He speaks Arabic, his two dads were mooselimbs, he went to mooselimb school as a kid.........hmmmm
I’ve said before that I honestly don’t think Obama is Muslim or Christian. I think he’s sympathetic to Islam though. As far as his membership in Jeremiah Wright’s Church Of I Hate White Folks though I think that had nothing to do with a relationship with God but was simply a vehicle for networking.
The truth of all this is simply that 20 percent believe Obama is still a Muslim because the man himself went to great pains to persuade them he is.
It’s HIS doing that so many think so.
Who did he give his first major interviews to as president? Where did he go first on his never-ending Apology Tour overseas? What president asked the space agency (!!) to reach out to Muslims? And who gurgled on about the “prettiest sound” being the call to prayer—??
This is what grifters do as part of their shakedowns. They tell specific audiences what they want to hear.
Obama has gone to great pains to convince people he is a Muslim, knowing that many groups WANT him to be a Muslim. Just as he has flim-flammed others to believe he is a Christian. But then he has also pandered to the secularist and who has ever heard an actual Christian assault other Christians for “clinging to their guns and Bibles”—?? Does the man have any concept whatsoever of what the Bible means to a real Christian????
There is as much evidence to suggest the Obama is a Muslim as there is that he is a Christian and there is way MORE evidence that he is an atheist communist who postures as one or the other as the circumstances dictate.
A long long long time ago the Left learned that you don’t directly oppose or deny religions, rather, you co-opt them. Obama? He’s whatever you need him to be—today a Christian, tomorrow a Muslim. He can do all those jives.
If Democrats had their way, expressing the belief that Obama is a muslim would land you in a concentration camp. Nacht und nebel.
Lest we forget, NASA is now a muslim outreach agency.
He said he was. You don’t accidentally say “my Muslim faith”, if you are Christian. It just doesn’t happen.
I don’t believe Obama knows God. He considers himself the highest power in the universe. All those many years he sat in Rev Wright’s church were merely stagecraft for eventual political office.
Bingo, case closed. That interview should be enough right there, nothing the narcissist has said since matters at all.
I have to admit that the NASA Islam story was probably the most comical political story of the year. And the fact that a major NASA administrator and leader took the President’s words absolutely serious...makes it even twice as funny.
Somewhere out there....there’s this NASCAR chief who has been invited to the White House, and you can imagine this magical moment occurring where NASCAR is asked by the President to make the ‘sport’ more appealing to the Muslim faith. The NASCAR chief would go and recruit one of the Petty clan to join up, change his name, and race as ‘Muhammad Petty’. And you can sit there and imagine these guys working for MSNBC trying to keep a straight face as this is explained as a pro-Obama policy. The best you can do is laugh until tears roll down, and then wonder why NASCAR would be that stupid.
One thing is for sure.. Obama is more Pro-Islam than he is Pro-American.
And as long as Obama sits in the Whitehouse the more Islamic America becomes.
Hell, he flat out told Stephanapolous that he IS a muzz. Hard to get plainer than that.
Can’t we just “DEEM” him a Muslim, and be done with it?
“One thing is for sure.. Obama is more Pro-Islam than he is Pro-American.”
Yup.
I’ve been asking my friends/co-workers what they think Obama is and I’ve heard everything from Athiest to Jew (”because his mother was a Jewess”) to Muslim. Now that I think about it, no one answered Christian. I’ll go with absolutely NOT Christian — he could be all the rest for all I know — wondering if he knows what he is himself.
He is per what little historical record says his is and what he said he is - A Muslim. Be damned if Beck thinks he’s other then what he said he is and that is not a Christian.
What do we have when the President of all people does not have to show their papers, take the pledge of allegiance or a drug test.
