More Americans believe Obama is Muslim
AFP ^ | August 19 2010 | AFP

nearly one in five respondents on the survey said they believed he is a practitioner of Islam, while only 34 percent of Americans correctly identified him as a Christian, down sharply from a year earlier.

The poll was conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Meanwhile, the percentage of people who say they are unsure what religion Obama practices has risen to 43 percent, from 34 percent a year ago.

The poll found one third of conservative Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim, a figure that has nearly doubled. But the president's faith was incorrectly identified by rising numbers of Democrats and independents too.

Some 18 percent of independent voters thought Obama was Muslim, up eight percentage points, and fewer than half the president's Democratic supporter believe him to be a Christian.

The Pew survey polled 3,003 respondents between July 21 and August 5, and had a plus-or-minus 2.5 percent sampling error.

George Stephanopolous had to remind him he was a Christian during an interview.

He is either a Muslim or apostate, neither is good. Why didn’t his family in Kenya not kill him when he visited? He must have been a Muslim then.

I saw this on the crawler on Fox last night. Then I saw the percentage of individuals who "correctly" identified his faith as Christian.

Correctly?

Zero avoids the National Day of Prayer, but hosts a dinner to recognize the beginning of Ramadan. Zero supports the building of the mosque at ground zero but won't support a Greek Orthodox church that has been trying to get approval to rebuild since the original building was damaged on 9/11? Zero attended a black liberation theology "church" for 20 years and, as far as I know, hasn't attended church in DC since his election to Congress. Zero supports abortion up to the moment of birth. Zero supports denying medical care to babies who survive an abortion. Zero lies every time his lips move.

The man may claim to be a Christian, but his fruit sure doesn't show it.

An activist from Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, which believes Barack Obama is responsible for a war on Muslims, throws a shoe at a poster of the US president on March 5 ahead of a visit by Obama to the world's most populous Muslim-majority country. A new poll has found one in five Americans mistakenly believes that Obama is Muslim, the Washington Post reported. (AFP/File/Mochammad Risyal Hidayat)

Yeah this is one thing he has his head in the sand over, big time (but then again, I think a lot of people do). I think it might just be a way to deflect what kind of criticsim he knows he would get. But, another aspect is.... Glenn, they are already calling you a right wing hate-monger.... etc etc. Fill in the blanks. So, what do you really care?

This is what I have been afraid of... And I fear he may be over-hyping the 8/28 event a bit.

I believe the notion that Obama is a Christian originally came from his membership in Rev Wright's church. We now know that the the theology from that "church" is Marxism, and has nothing to do with individual salvation by Christ.

They used the Christian model but redefined salvation and Jesus Christ to mean something other than what is taught in the Bible. Like all the other progressive programs, in order to deceive, it's labeled as the opposite as what it really is.

Obama, a Christian? Not one reason to believe it.

While celebrating RAMADAN at the White House President Barack Obama says "Muslims have a right to practice their religion as every one else in this country."

REALLY! Does everyone else GET THE RIGHT to practice their religion? See the below stories.

"A group of Christian students was allegedly ordered to stop praying outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on May 5 (2010) because a court police officer told them it was against the law"

Now compare to the year before on Sept 26th 2009

"About 3,000 Muslims gathered Friday for a first-ever prayer service in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol in what turned out to be a peaceful assembly despite the taunts of Christian evangelists on the surrounding sidewalks." Read the full article above at:

Meanwhile a Greek Orthodox Church (the only church that was previously at Ground Zero and destroyed has not been able to rebuild because of bureaucracy.

"While a mosque is one step closer to being built in New York City (2) blocks away from Ground Zero, a church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks has yet to be restored."

"St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church stood in the shadow of the Twin Towers and was crushed when the South Tower collapsed."

"Beck says that even though they rented the Kennedy Center for use on 8/27, they were told that they could not pray in the facility. That is beyond shocking. Apparently they finally relented, but I'm guessing that it's only because of who he is. Had it been you are me, we'd probably be in handcuffs after we disobeyed and prayed anyway."

"State Department officials on Monday confirmed Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Imam of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, will soon be going on a trip of the Middle East and the U.S. government will be picking up the tab."....... "Rauf has emerged as a controversial figure because of his refusal to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization, which is how the U.S. government classifies the group. The imam also has been quoted as saying U.S. foreign policy was in part responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Read more of the above at:

Would we spend tax payers money to send Billy Graham to foreign country's to spread Christian beliefs? I think not.

I don’t believe that he’s Christian or muslim. He, as far as I can suspect, is a marxist/socialist with a fascist State-as-God mentality.
