Fox News's Republican focus group says it doesn't trust Obama 'because he's a Muslim'
The London Daily Mail ^ | February 10, 2011 | Staff

Nearly half of the members in a focus group of Republicans put together by Fox News say they don't trust President Barack Obama's response to the Egypt crisis because they believe he's a Muslim.

The Iowa-based group were asked by influential Republican 'message guru' Frank Luntz for their views on Mr Obama's pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly.

The meeting with the focus group was broadcast on Sean Hannity’s programme Monday night.

After a question by Mr O'Reilly about the Muslim Brotherhood's role in forming a government in Egypt, Mr Luntz asked why they all seemed to have such a negative reaction to Obama's answers, iowaindependent.com reports. One woman said she believed the president’s religious convictions guide his policies. When asked to clarify, she said, 'I believe that he is a Muslim.'

When Luntz asked the rest of the group how many believed Obama is Muslim, about a dozen, or nearly half, raised their hands.

'Now do you understand the implications of what you’re saying here?' Mr Luntz asked. 'What the media’s going to say about this group and about the Iowa Caucus voters in the future. Do you realise what you’re opening up here?' Some members of the focus group described Obama's religious belief as 'liberalism,' 'the most intolerant of all.'

This isn’t the first time Iowa has made headlines for comments about the president’s faith.

Kim Lehman, one of the state’s three representatives on the Republican National Committee, publicly questioned the president’s religion last summer. Other Iowa Republicans joined in, with state Sen. Sandy Greiner saying she respects the point of view of anyone who says the president is a Muslim....

re: they are allowed to lie to get their end results

Not only ‘allowed’ but instructed and encouraged to do so. The word of a Muslim is worthless. Their assurances are no more than a means to an end.

No less an expert on the matter of being a Christian than Christ himself said you know a vine by it fruit. Paul outlined the fruits of The Spirit and I have not seen Obama exhibit a single one of them.

Or as my Mom would say, “Actions speak louder than words!”

How would Barack Hoover Obama’s action be different, if he wasn’t trying to help the Muslim Brotherhood?

Heck, some ministers don’t even tell you the truth about their beliefs. I remember going to my minister after taking a survey of religion course that included Paul Tillich, and asking the minister if he agreed with Tillich. He said yes and I asked him why he preached such a fundamentalist message if he agreed with Tillich. He said that a minister has to preach the kind of message that the congregation wants to hear.

20 Years, I repeat, 20 Years listening to Rev Wright hate speech and he never heard hate speech?

Another Muslim lie.

Why does the American public buy into these lies?
Sorry, I don't get it.

So, anyone still trust Hannity or O'Reilly?

Three things I worry about: Muslims, Marxists and illegal aliens. With regard to these, Barack Obama is batting 1.000.

And the truth shall set you free. People are often shamed by the Left into keeping their mouths shut about what they see right in front of their eyes. I think more and more Americans have had enough.

1)This year President Obama canceled the 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of “not wanting to offend anyone.”

As a Christian I am offended by my Muslim President. Do you believe what he does or what he says?

I really think that Obama is an atheist..

Me too, but with very strong Muslim sympathies.
