I’ve been trying to figure that one out,too. Especially in the light of 9/11. I mean, for-cry-eye, there should have been such a level of distrust towards Muslims after that, that no one with a name remotely close to a muslim name should have been in any office! I mean, for pity sake, after WWII, politicians were shaving off their mustaches so people wouldn’t think of Hitler!!!

I agree. And Keith Ellison, a Muslim got elected. I think it’s Americans short term memory loss.

They have been raised up on the Snooki’s, David Lettermans and Jon Stewarts of the world.

Exactly... who would've thought, on the heels of 9/11, a mere seven years later, a pro-muslim who was raised as a muslim and attended a madrassa in Jakarta, with the middle name of "Hussein," would've had a breath of a chance of being elected to the highest office in the land?

I was SO hoping that was a one-time national error.. one that would be decisively corrected on Nov. 6. And then he won again.

I've lost hope in the future of America.
