A gift to people who think Obama is a closet Muslim.

I know I can't win - but if I could at least get one person to re-analyze their outlook on this then that's good enough for me. Someone who isn't even an Obama supporter has to tell these people that they sound nutters. They'd expect it from an Obama supporter - but maybe if someone who isn't really a fan of his points out how crazy they sound, maybe they'll at least be humbled into toning it down a bit.

Don't give up. Truth is worth a bit of hassel. My friend's husband told her she has some unpleasant friends, and after a lot of discussion, she got him to admit it's because I have an Obama sticker on my car!

Thanks much. Despite his dropping out, though, if I decide to vote this year, I'm writing him in or something, because I honestly don't like anyone else's platform or voting record.

Good for you, if he has a lot of write ins maybe he will win, since no one really is talking about the issues come October when the debates start maybe lots of people will feel the same way you do. You should vote just so you know that you at least tried to get the person you thought best for the job in office. There are probably a lot of people just like you.

"*also supports no one since Ron Paul dropped out*" I'm writing him in. No one else is getting my vote - period. It's a shame Bob Barr is the libertarian candidate. I'd have voted libertarian if it weren't for him being the candidate pick. "Btw, there'd be nothing wrong if he HAD been a muslim, but he's not...so who cares, really?" Precisely - yet some people just can't drop this crazy belief he's some sort of closet muslim. It's like they just want him to be a muslim.

I'm not old enough to vote quite yet, but I found that no reason not to support someone when I heard about Ron Paul. His base was twenties and under, right? Well, I was part 'o that. ^_^ I wanted to like Barr as well, but these days it looks like he's not what he says he is. Elsewise, I might've been leaning toward him, now that my feelings about Obama have solidified. I'm glad you're writing him in! I hear plenty of people are doing so. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any alternative news publication mentioning record numbers of write in's for a particular person =) Maybe it's just easier for some people to believe that he is, do you think? Means they don't really have to watch the rest very closely and can dismiss him easily without much to do otherthan exclaimations of, "ZOMG".

"I'm a big believer of the so called BS you're referring to and if all of these facts were present on McCain (and it could be proven)" Except, in regards to Obama's faith, there is no provable fact that he is a muslim. Only lies and conjecture. I wouldn't say Obama is necessarily someone who you should trust - you can never fully trust any politician. However, when a person believes he's a muslim when all signs indicate otherwise...well that, my friend, is what we call "delusional".

"Lot's of big problems let's take a look at one for now,you said Mechelle Obama is a christian so what would lead a person to that thinking? the word Christian if you should look up the meaning of the word it means "Christ-like",there fore a christian is to be Christ like this is what indemnifies them as being a christian,ye shall know them by their fruits,peace,love and joy. I simply could not in vision the parent's of Jesus sitting in a church listening to the most vile and disgusting bitter hate fill message about hating the white race or the government,the white man gave the black man the aids virus,Jesus preached love not hate,so I question is Mechelle Obama really a Christian? Taking it a step pass that I question the parenting of the Obama's in general,if parents teach or allow to be taught to their child bitterness and hate is can only serve to breed bitterness and hate in the child." Ah, the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. These are not valid arguments at any time when they are used, so I won't bother trying to rebut them. "(Source of fact the Obama's preacher Jeremiah Wright you tube)I have no reason to question if Barack Onama is not a Muslim by birth,his father was a Muslim born in Kenya,his step father was a Muslim born in Indochina,Ann Durham the mother of Barack Obama registered Barack Jr then called (Barry Obama) in lower grade school as Muslim." The same document contained erroneous information, such as that Obama was Indonesian, and the wrong name for his previous school. His teachers were also quoted in the Chicago tribune as saying that Obama was likely to have been registered as muslim because his then-stepfather was a muslim. See link regarding the teachers here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0703250340mar25,0,4122936.story In any case, the religion marked on his enrollment form is not really any indication of his religion. Also, since other information on it was incorrect, the credibility of such a document is called into question. "It is clear to me having a father and step father who where Muslims,and Barack having three very strong Muslim names Barack Hussein Obama,registared in grade school as a muslin by his own mother,yes it is so looks like a duck,walks like a duck,then it is indeed a duck." I was registered as a Christian in high school. My family is christian, and my friends are Christian. My name, as well, has very Christian roots. By your logic, I should be a christian. However, I've been an atheist since grade school. Obviously heritage and name is not what determines our religion. "Barack Obama's half sister and brother both are on record they say Barack Jr was raised as all the family a Muslim,(Source of Info Kenya newspapers,you tube viedos) Ralia Odingo Barack Obama cousin prime minister of Kenya is a muslim,it boils down to you all are calling Barack Obama blood family all liars." I assume when you refer to these news reports, you are referring to his brothers statement that "Barack will be good for the Jewish people despite his Muslim background." Not once in the full context of the interview did I here his brother say such a phrase. Even if I somehow managed to miss it be it poor reading or that particular part not being posted, "despite his Muslim background" does not mean that he is a muslim. It means he comes from a muslim background, which is true. Half his family is muslim. "History,documents,video's,all these facts speak for them self,people by the millions know 150% that Barack Hussein Obama Jr is in fact a Muslims." No, actually, they do not, because "history, documents, videos, and all these facts" do not point to Barack being a Muslim. There may have been a chance he was as a child, but it all depends on whether or not Mr. Obama actually believed the tenents of the religion. That, of course, we can not know for sure unless Obama tells us. As for whether he is a closet muslim currently - there are NO facts which indicate such a thing, and any conjecture otherwise is just that - conjecture.

I'm a big believer of the so called BS you're referring to and if all of these facts were present on McCain (and it could be proven), you guys would be concerned too. Someone on another post challenged everyone to take a look at the video at the link below: http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?RsrcID=2036 Go watch it, THEN come back and tell us that we still have nothing to worry about. The video isn't twisting ANYTHING around to anyone's favor. It's just about the facts that have been laid out on the table. No matter WHO he was born to or was forced to do as a child, his choices after becoming an adult haven't been stellar by a long shot - and THAT is what will count in the end.

I try to ignore those posts, because it honestly infuriates me how some people could be so stupid and fear mongering. It's just been getting on my nerves lately how so many people keep saying Obama is a muslim. He's not - there's no evidence to indicate he is. Of course, there's no point in trying to convince the already convinced, but I just couldn't sit around in silence for so long. Someone had to say something, ya know?

Kindly read the original post before you reply next time.

cyntrow, how do you know that?

The same can be said of any other religion. Obama's muslim influence, from what I gather, was very lax. His stepfather was very much an unorthodox man. He drank, smoked, and violated a lot of the tenents of his religion. I'd imagine not much of it stuck with him, going by what I know of his beliefs. Obviously it was so little that he it was no problem for him to decide to become a Christian.
