Internet rumors and lies? Or not?

Well, I think he was at one time for sure as too many from his past remember him as one, and a lot of his family is Muslim. There have been many reports of things he has done... especially that one where he recited something awhile back with a supposedly perfect accent. I think it was the Call to prayer but can't remember for sure, although it has been mentioned a lot recently and I surely have a link someplace. His claim of never having been a Muslim has been thoroughly disproven to my satisfaction.

Said it before will say it again. Obama, as an adult capable of making choice was never a practicing Muslim. Obama, as a child for a period of a few short years lived in Indonesia. His step father was a barely practicing muslim. He attended a public school. He was listed as muslim which would have been normal. He on ocassion attended mosque with his step father. None of these things make him a Muslim. They make him a child. When I was a child did many childish things. Half of them I don't remember.

Common sense say that he was at one time a Muslim. The idea that he could have gone to a Muslim school as a child and not be a Muslim is to hard for me to believe. I went to a church school and it was my church from my youth. True there was a good chunk that did not go to my church, but they were all Christians or atlest that is what they said they were. To this day are all of my friends from school still Christians, well I am not sure but I can assume that some dropped left the faith. Same with Obama was a Muslim but not now. Neither Obama being a Muslim or not being a Muslim is not the big issue. The big issue is no one know anything about Obama. To some he is this, to others his that. No two people see him in the same light, almost like a snowflake.

I agree with you that he once was but is certainly not now. And I don't see what all the fuss is about?? He should just front up and settle the rumours once and for all and get on with it. The first response to your topic has put it very directly and summed it up perfectly; regardless of whether he was or was not, is or is not a Muslim; or even if he wears women's clothing on weekends while spanking an inflatable goat; he is still Obama and his policies and opinions are what they are. Whether or not he assumes the Presidency in due course should be based on his policies and potential abilities; not this crap!

That article sure enough states that he was a muslim. And so does some of the evidence, so if he was, then he wsa, no probs with that, but whats bothering is, he is lying, i definetly feel like he is....I dont think he never was a muslim, in a family of muslims, its not like he never was, without being a muslim, one cant know the prayer, or that language or that accent, no one bothers to, but a muslim should know that languagae. Any how thats not whats important, but he sure is hididng something!

I think he was never a Muslim. I think all this is ridiculous. If he were Muslim, he would still be my choice for president. I can't believe we are this close to the election, and this is the type of thing people are still all upset about. Listen to what the guy believes in. Listen to what he intends to do. If you still don't like him, don't vote for him. Let's quit trying to decide if he's Muslim, or black or white, or Arab, or what ever, and focus on the man, and what he says. Let this election be about the issues of today. Muslims do not equal terrorists (although it is a given, that some terrorists are Muslims, just as some terrorists are Christians), so don't be a part of all the nonsense. I am speaking to people in general, not to anyone in particular.

I do believe he was taught the Muslim faith at one time, but really when you are running for any American government office you don't very well want to say that out loud. Honestly I don't care about that. I'm not voting for him for all the other reasons. I do believe he considers himself a Christian now however I don't feel he is a very good Christian. The way he is behaving during this election is case in point.

Is the real issue here that he was never a Muslim, or that he lied about his Muslim affiliations? If Obama had not, as a senator, been involved in fundraisers for Hammas; if he had not said a portion of a Muslim call to prayer with a near perfect accent; if he had not advocated meeting with leaders of America's enemies without preconition; if he had not so readily supported his Jihadist cousin, Raila Odinga, overthrowing the leader of Kenya and murdering innocent civilians in the process,then I might be able to believe his is not a Muslim. Even if he is not a registered practicing Muslim at a mosque somewhere in the world, I think the above examples support the notion that he is still a Muslim at heart, and as the Good Book says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."

What's the difference if he practiced islam or not? What if he is a Muslim or not? He's still Obama and it doesn't change anything since he's competing to become president of the U.S

As I am English, I do not know much about him, I know he is a politician but that is about it. But I cannot see why his religion should change anything? As long as he isn't an extremist, but I say that about everyone.

What difference does it make? He i still Obama

It sounds like the media making there own stories ;-) Actually I fail to see the problem with the man being a Muslim. If he is a Muslim, then he is a Muslim.... why is this a problem. Is this a political issue in America? Does America actually think a Muslim politician is a bad or good thing? The only important part is, would he be a good president and could he build friendships between other nations, rather make enemies as the previous man did. I wish him well in his career and I wish well to American people also regardless what the media or internet say. Namaste
