Obama: "In My Muslim faith"

No, that would be you. And Michelle made sure he "converted" before she agreed to marry him. What Christian church? Oh, you mean the one who says GD, America...and sees whites as the enemy.

How many Christians or Jews make that kind of slip and say, "In my Muslim faith"....?.....? They don't...so there must be truth to it. I'm married to a Muslim so my issue is not that he is a Muslim, but that he doesn't tell the truth.

I bet you'd feel real embarrassed to find out that the entire premise of this thread is based on an out-of-context quote. Obama never implied he was a muslim. He was speaking about the far rights slanderous attempts to paint him as a Muslim. By the way, a name is not a good religious indicator. Barack Obama is a Christian.

Sorry but a name is a pretty good way of telling what religion/culture people are from. And have you ever seen the name Barack Obama in the bible? I haven't! I don't know, what's the deal with you people in the states having a problem accepting the fact that a ruler can be any religion. Why do they have to be Christian? If people are worried about if he's a muslim and 911 and all that just look at BUSH...he's white, he's christian and he still supported Terrist groups. It doesn't go to say that a muslim will as well. Oh and btw, I don't feel silly about anything because I accept the fact that he's muslim, it should be those of you who do not accept a different religion into politics who feel silly. Regarless of whether he's black, white, or purple Obama is still a moron and I think the people of the States made a very big mistake when they didn't support Hilary Clinton (just because she's female!). She was by far the best one for the job and this is from an outsiders point of view.

To me, having that mentality is like saying you hate every black person b/c a black guy mugged you. McCain and Bush are two different ppl, they may agree on some points...just as I'm sure Bush and Obama do...but they don't agree on everything.

People who want to vote for him are turning the other cheek...not because they believe in him so much but because they detest McCain and they detest him because they detest Bush....what a way to think but true.

I understand, but it infuriates me how shallow some people can be, and I can never turn the other cheek and ignore it when a person is purposely slandering a candidate. It doesn't matter what side they're on, either. Slander is slander and it's a disgusting thing to do. Me, I'm no Obama fan. I don't like his policies. That's not going to stop me from calling foul, though, when people pull these stunts. It's one thing to attack the issues, and another entirely to imply he's a liar after twisting his words out of context.

Oh, this is sad: "The exchange came after Mr. Obama said that Republicans are attempting to scare voters by suggesting he is not Christian, which McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said was "cynical." Asked about it on ABC, Mr. Obama said, "These guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand." "The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections," said Mr. Stephanopoulos, who repeatedly interrupted Mr. Obama during the interview. "I don't think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let's say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks," Mr Obama responded, and Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted: "But John McCain said that's wrong." Mr. Obama noted that when Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin "was forced" to talk about her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, he issued a forceful statement to reporters that the line of inquiry was "off limits." But he said the McCain campaign tried to tie him to "liberal blogs that support Obama" and are "attacking Governor Palin." "Let's not play games," he said. "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come." Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, "Christian faith." "My Christian faith," Mr. Obama said quickly. "Well, what I'm saying is that he hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith -- something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time." " The article from which this came from even shows the statement IN-CONTEXT. You can't even claim you didn't hear the quote in it's full context. You purposely twisted his words to suit your own little agenda - how disgusting and completely dishonest. ClarusVisum was right, you really are desperate to get some dirt on Obama. You even used an article that completely blew away your implication that Obama lied about his faith.

This is the usual distraction to get voters not to think about the issues. Clearly Obama is not a Muslim and it is just deliberate s..t stirring to say otherwise (ie why did he attend a Christian church for the last 20 years then?) The focus should be on the economy which is in deep trouble right now and both candidates need to tell us clearly what they are going to do about it. Both candidates also need to tell us how they will also improve America's position in the world, because at the moment the US is in steep decline in terms of power and influence abroad. Basically, how will the candidates improve our position at home and abroad and let's forget about all this fluff.

No, you need to stop seeing things in black and white. As long as he has voters who cannot see him for who he is, there is a chance of him being in office. Wake up!

He did not say anything about his faith in Muslims. It was not about that. It was about his personal faith, he called it Muslim.
