Rush Limbaugh said in September he gets confused between Obama and Osama bin Laden.........
Obama, a member of the United Church of Christ, is fending off claims circulating among the conservative right that he is a Muslim trained at Islamic schools in Indonesia, The Washington Post said Thursday.
Obama, D-Ill., often speaks of his childhood in Indonesia and notes his paternal grandfather was a Muslim.
With religious affiliation at the center of the presidential campaign, polls show a rising anti-Muslim sentiment in politics.
An August poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said 45 percent of those polled would be oppose a Muslim presidential candidate, while 25 percent responded in kind about a Mormon candidate, such as the GOP's former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and 16 percent opposed to an evangelical Christian, the Post said.
Conservative voices circulated rumors that Obama spent at least four years in a so-called madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia and Rush Limbaugh said in September he gets confused between Obama and Osama bin Laden.
Obama continually denies the rumors, telling an audience in Iowa, "If I were a Muslim, I would let you know."

Hussein says hes not muslim....well whatta ya know.
Of course, Islam teaches that it is permissible for Muslims to lie about such matters, so all we have to go on are the proven facts of his biography.
I thought the United Church of Christ was a gang front.
Does that mean Obama is a gangbanger?
Bwahaha! Where have they been during the last 6 years!?
What horrid reporting ... did he or didn't he attend a madrassa? We still don't know.
You might not be a Muslim, congressman Obama.
But you are a Lightweight.
Interesting statement from Obama since the Muslims believe that you must carry the religion of your parents. Thus, they believe that he must be follower of islam.
What was that practice about lying to infidels called?
Not an expert, but doesn’t the Muslim religion/sarc pass down to the offspring? If so, would he not be a muslim? If he was, and renounced, would that not make him a target for the muzzy extremeists?
Sounds like a question to send to “Ask the Imam”.
For good or evil, like it or not, our Constitution prohibits imposing a religious test as a qualification for holding elective office, which is the response Republican candidates should have given to the Bible question posed by a Democrat activist during last night’s “debate.”
First of all, the Koran says it is okay to lie to infidels, so how do we know he’s telling the truth. However, from everything I’ve heard about his church, I think he would be better off if he did belong to a Madrassa.
“Taqqiya”. Also, if Obama renounced Islam, why is TROP silent on the matter? Sharia law prescribes death to those who leave Islam..
He’s not Muslim. He’s worse. He’s a member of the leftist wing of the UCC. These are folks whose faith is progressive secular ideology, who name drop Jesus as its champion, and who, in the end, are in fact advocates of Mohammed and every other seductive alternative to Christ.
