"..........In June,2012, Gallup asked,"Do you happen to know the religious faith of Barack Obama?" Forty-four percent said they did not know,while 36 percent said he is a Christian, 11 percent said he is a Muslim, and eight percent said he has no religion. The "don't know" group included 36 percent of Democrats.(A larger number of Republicans, 47 percent, said they didn't know Obama's religion,as did 46 percent of independents.)........
.....Whenever the issue pops up, Obama's most ardent supporters are quick to blame conservative media for misperceptions about Obama's religion. But it's possible something in Obama's public presentation of himself has also created confusion among a significant number of Americans about his religion. The fact is, Obama's religious roots and development have always been a complicated story. In 2010, after the Pew poll came out, I wrote about the causes of public confusion about Obama and faith, particularly the belief that he is a Muslim:........."

I wonder what the results would have been if one of the choices was “big government”?
This was a fairly easy question to ask about past presidents. You knew what church denomination they affiliated to, and they were more or less devout about it.
Barack? He gave a formulaic response once seeming to subscribe to evangelical Christianity and then never said another word about it.
He acts like an atheist with secular leftist sympathies to Muslims.
GOLF is his religion.
I know. He is an America hating, homosexual, communist, Muslim. Always has and always will be.
and yet, every minute it's "isLAM, isLAM, isLAM"!
The “reverend” Wright, after years of couching BO on Christianity, was asked if he thought BO was now a Christian, answered “I’m not sure ...”
Well, if he is not, how could the rest of us be sure?
One can only go on what the man does and who he has hung around with - all of which do not point toward Christianity, rather toward Islam, and the worldwide supremacy of Islam.

"Until you recognize that Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion, you're never going to come to grips with it ... and as far as a strategy, let me just conclude ... the Obama Administration has a strategy ... it's very simple. Any thinking American should be able to grasp it. It's anti-American, anti-Western, it's pro-Islamic, it's pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood."
It's more akin to a Nazi salute than to a gang sign.
2010 - Byron York: “In 1985, Barack Obama had just arrived in Chicago for his new job as a community organizer when he headed to Smitty’s Barbershop, a tiny storefront on the South Side. As Smitty cut his hair, Obama listened to the men in the shop talk politics and racial grievance. When the barber finished, he handed Obama a mirror and said, “Haircuts ten dollars. What’s your name, anyway?”
“Barack.”
“Barack, huh,” Smitty responded. “You a Muslim?”
“Grandfather was,” Obama said, according to his memoir Dreams From My Father.
Smitty’s question, which Obama didn’t exactly answer, prefigured a controversy that continues to this day.
A new poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows that 18 percent of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. That is up from the 12 percent who believed that in October 2008, just before Obama was elected president.
At the same time, the number of Pew respondents who say Obama is a Christian — in Dreams From My Father, he describes his conversion to Christianity under the tutelage of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — has declined from 51 percent in October 2008 to 34 percent now. And the number of people who say they don’t know Obama’s religion is growing, from 32 percent back then to 43 percent today.
The White House blames the situation on a “misinformation campaign” from Obama’s opponents. But Obama and his aides might also blame themselves for the way they’ve handled the Muslim issue over the years.
The question did not come out of nowhere. As Obama said, his grandfather was a Muslim. His father was raised a Muslim before becoming, by Obama’s account, “a confirmed atheist.” Obama’s stepfather was a Muslim. His half-sister Maya told the New York Times that her “whole family was Muslim.”
Obama spent two years in a Muslim school in Indonesia and later, in a conversation with the Times’ Nicholas Kristof, described the Arabic call to prayer, the beginning of which he recited by heart, as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” Given all that, it is entirely accurate and fair to describe Obama as having Muslim roots.
Yet during the [2008] campaign his aides shouted down even a measured discussion of the topic, and Obama’s critics could face ostracism simply for uttering the candidate’s middle name. In December 2007, with the Iowa caucuses approaching, former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said of Obama, “I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim. There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.” Kerrey’s remarks caused an uproar — one TV commentator wondered whether they were “poisoning the well” — and Kerrey later apologized.
Eighteen months later, when President Obama traveled to Cairo for a long-awaited speech to the Muslim world, the White House was saying, and the press was reporting, the same thing Kerrey had to apologize for. “President Obama is now embracing his Muslim roots,” ABC News “Nightline” announced. “President Obama’s speech was laced with references to the Quran and his Muslim roots,” said USA Today. “Obama touched on his own Muslim roots,” reported the Associated Press.
Many people do not pay close attention to news reports. It’s entirely possible some of them blurred the distinction between “Muslim roots” and “Muslim,” especially since Obama in Cairo celebrated what his campaign had once downplayed….”
who’s confused?
He’s a demonic Sunni Muslim, any more questions?
this explains the incongruity of how it's so obvious that obama is a Muslim, yet he seems like someone who would never put anyone or anything higher than himself. Like say Mohammad or God. I've struggled with that.
> So based on what he has said about his faith, it causes me to question what sort of Christian he is.
He rarely attended according to his pastor who taught Black Liberation Theology mixed with some Christianese and he only first attended after taking to Wright about activism. A lot of powerful black leaders and entertainers attendt that church (Louis Farrakhan for one). Read this and you’ll understand what Wright taught was not truly Christianity as we understand it. Besides Obama knew he couldn’t get into the president’s club and get the votes he needed if he stated he were Muslim. He knew he was going to be president in the late 80’s and the KGB knew it in 1992. This was a carefully pre-planned heist even down to his religion.
Let’s not kid ourselves. He was practicing Taqiyya to get into the WH.
Here’s good information about Jeremiah Wright. Understand his background and his history and you will understand his version of Christianity is not our own:
I believe Barack Obama has no religion. He is a radical left wing ideologue. The whole point of being a moonbat is to have none of the restrictions imposed by morals and ethics and religion
He is a Muslim Apostate. He is a Christian In Name Only because it is politically expedient. The reverend Wright is not a church but rather a political gathering in the tax protected guise of a church. The Wright congregation are a black hate group.
Americans are not confused about Obama’s religion. Americans know that hi is a muslim. It is those who live in the United States that are not Americans that may be confused by Obama’s religion.
How can anyone be confused? He’s a Muslim, jihadist sympathizer and Islamic terror apologist. Everything he’s done and said (that’s been revealed in public) is evidence for those who have eyes and ears that don’t have an automatic PC filter.
Is anybody else tired of articles about Obama?
That much is certain....
As have I.
You have to ask, why does the Left continue to want to ally itself to such an un-leftist cause as Islam?
I think it comes down to, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Islam threatens the established order in the West. That creates a crisis for government to respond to. Much as Global Warming (to those who buy it) does.
Of course, the Muzzies would happily chop off their heads. But they figure they'll take control of the situation before that can happen. In the meantime, they and the MSM use the issue as a club to denigrate the Right as intolerant and against the little people (illegals, welfare cheats, gubmint workers, crony capitalists, and, yes, Muzzies).
Fundamentally, Obama worship Obama.
All else is secondary.
I’m not confused. I firmly believe that he’s a Muslim. I also believe that when he finally leaves office, he’s not going to be able to help himself, at some point, from admitting it so that he can gloat about having pulled the wool over the eyes of those who refused to see what he was telling them all these years. Also, to claim it (the White House, the US) for Islam, as they like to claim things for all time, when they have ever once claimed them.
