Barack Obama wants to set the record straight. He is not a Muslim, as recent e-mails falsely claim.
The Democratic presidential candidate is fighting the e-mails that have been widely circulated. Obama has been continually speaking about the role of faith in politics since his Call to Renewal address in June 2006.
In the days before the South Carolina primary, he is driving efforts to speaking with media to emphasize his Christian beliefs. His campaign also sent out a recent mailer portraying the candidate with his head bowed in prayer and says that he will be guided by prayer when he is in office.
The senator from Illinois spoke with Sarah Pulliam and Ted Olsen today about his faith, abortion, and the evangelical vote.

I question whether you can truly be a Christian and adhere to liberal or Democrat ideology.
There is no question that when he was small Obama attended a Muslim school. His father and step-father were both Muslims. How deep Muslim indoctrination went into his soul is unclear. But, given his liberal Democrat views, it is hard to believe he is truly a Christian.
There may not be a formal relgious test for office in America, but a lot of people will find it hard to vote for Obama when they know about his unclear religious background. It is important we all point out these facts about Obama to our family, friends and acquaintances.
I'm sorry. I have no patience for this idiocy. Shouldn't people have to pass a simple reading comprehension test before being allowed to post on this site?
For the luvofgawd. Where do I begin? So, he comes out and says this stuff about religion. And what, that makes him credible to "certain FReepers?" Maybe to the ones in Rio Linda.
I mean, this is such folly on so many fronts. It's not credible; but even before that, it shouldn't matter in America. You're not freaking elected to go to church. You're elected to uphold the Constitution. Where and what you worship is your own private domain. This is NOT Saudi Arabia.
And if what you worship manifests itself in a way that Americans respect, you just might get yourself elected.
Or at least, that's how it's supposed to work.
But that's Conservatism 101. Were you absent that day?

On Obama’s church’s “yoga ministry” page:
“Within each us is the seed of Divinity.
Each Soul is divine.
I bow to the divinity in us all!”
shoot. do I click it or don’t I?
Great, we now can murder, steal, commit adultery and sill obtain eternal salvation?! I can imagine confessional there... Forgive me father for what I've sinned, i did not obtain economic parity today with my neighbor; door was darn closed.
You're pretty close. Isa al-Masih. Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet, but not the 2nd Person of the Trinity.
They also believe that Jesus will enter Jerusalem with the Mahdi (Islam's messiah) and pray at Al-Aqsa mosque with the Mahdi.
Muslims also don't have any problem with lining up their "good guys" in their end-times prophecy with the "bad guys" found in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Being that it's such a deceptive religion and its lies about the person and work of Jesus, I believe Islam was put together by Satan himself.
No, you’re misunderstanding me.
Any Muslim who honestly finds salvation in Jesus is saved.
Obama could very well be a false Christian who claimed conversion to further the aim of Islamification of this nation, which is one of their goals.
Islam forbids conversions to any faith away from Islam, often under penalty of death. Except of course when one is sent undercover as a mole to further the aims of the worldwide Jihad.
Uh ... is there some particular reason you decided to behave like a rude SOB toward me?
Islamics have a duty to lie to infidels.......
It's your lucky day?
No, try to see my point and overlook the rudeness.
You are correct, primarily during the prosecution of jihad.
This makes him an apostate to the muslims, and as such is below us infidels.
NOW maybe we'll see the usual suspects howling and getting worked up over it.
The fact that the muslims HAVEN'T been makes me wonder what they know about him that we don't. Let's see if this gets their attention.
It's a tactic that works on a certain racist element in the rat party.
A democrat accquantence of mine told me that he could never vote for a woman or a n*****. There's a lot of that among liberals.
I, on the other hand, could happily vote for a conservative woman or black person.
I find this statement unbelievable!
Why ..??
Because I’ve already heard Obama say that he doesn’t know if he’ll go to heaven.
IF YOU’RE A BELIEVER .. A PERSON WHO HAS RECEIVED JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR .. YOU KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO HEAVEN AND NOBODY CAN EVER TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY.
You can’t claim to be a Christian .. and not know where you will end your days.
again. R-E-A-D T-H-E P-O-S-T.
there really needs to be a class on conservatism here. Where's Bill Buckley - but wait, you probably wouldn't read his posts, either.
Obama could put this whole Muslim subject to rest by publically eating a nice greasy Polish sausage wrapped with bacon on national TV.
Eh... They all claim to be Christians. (Presidential Candidates, that is.) Most are lying when they say it. I daresay Obama is one of them. Maybe he IS practicing Takiyya when he says this.
Yet... I wouldn’t presume to say that Obama is actually a muslim. Though he obviously has a soft spot in his heart (and head ;) for them.
Being a hard core Marxist as he definitely is, he really isn’t allowed to believe in any God but the State.
The church he attends is not Christian, even though it calls itself that in its name. It is just Marxism and racism and anti-Americanism preached into the pews.
He only joined a church in the first place because when he was a paid neighborhood rabble-rouser, his targets kept asking him where he went to church, so he joined the one that most of his targets went FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES ONLY.
It is pretty much just coincidence that that church happens to preach the non-Christian beliefs that he was raised with.
