Ok, I'll agree with you on this. He did portray himself as a Christian. I personally suspect that while he may have been raised with Muslim influences, he is probably mostly personally agnostic or deist, as many people and politicians these days are. But he has to play up the Christian thing to some extent for sufficient public voter appeal - as many politicians do.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm only saying that not caring what a person's religion is, in my opinion, is admirable. I would only take issue if he lied about it, which I don't believe he did.
[quote=hawkeye2009;14797109]If he is a muslim (which I suspect he is), it is important for several reaons-
Quote:
1. He put on a masquerade of being a Christian for twenty years simply for political expediency. This is very disturbing. How deep is one's committment that he would "change" religions like a pair of clothes? Further, how calculating and decietful is that?
Its true he should be honest, but at the end of the day the United States respects freedom of religion, so you can't really do anything about that, this is not a third world cluntry.

I would dare trust a man who has done what he has done.
2. Muslims have this terrible penchant for violence and a conviction to convert or kill non Muslims. I would think that sentiment would be somewhat contrary to the laws of the United States and would make such a man incapable of effectively leading a modern nation.
Most Muslims don't think like that, but the ones who suffered under the hands of Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq might think like that, but the rest have nothing against westerners.

3. A little issue of separation of church and state. Our Christian leaders appeared to understand this issue. A muslim, such as Obama, does not and has cozied up to fellow muslims at the expense of the nation.
Please wake up, Obama would have already made changes in the country if he was close minded
So what if he's a muslim, stop being rasict, in today's world things don't work around which religion you belong to, but by trying to do whats best for your country.
Not bad...only 4 posts to get to the racist remarks.
He is doing what is best for the country? Name ONE, UNO, UN, A, ONE thing he has done for this Country that helped?
I must be racist for that remark, OR it could simply be Bush's fault!!
Crybaby right wingers. Your record is broken and you have nothing else to whine about. It is like music to my ears. Cry right wingers, CRY! It makes me more happier.
I've also heard he's a secret voodoo priest PRETENDING to be a secret Muslim who is PRETENDING to be not a muslim. This is to throw people off his trail. He' is Wiley, this one. Like Wiley Coyote with a case of ACME secret voodoo ritual books.
Have you heard about the live chickens being delivered daily to the WHite House? Of course you haven't! BECAUSE it's a VOODOO SECRET CHICKEN SLAUGHTER FESTIVAL, that's why.
Look, it's not hard to accept, people...... Two chicken enter: No chicken leave.I have it on the highest authority that he does it in the garden, with Biden by his side, chanting a Jamaican mamba chicken killin' rhythm. Oh! dear Lord! Think of the Children! We must stop this Voodoo cult of ignorance and shame and threads like this one that detract from the REAL SECRET RELIGIOUS STUFF.

And all that Voodoo Hoodoo's just a cover-up for the fact he's really a warlock
Actually, you've just described a lot of what Christianity looked like several hundred years ago in Europe (and even here in the Americas).
It was a brutal, intolerant religion that has a legacy of literally millions of corpses left in its wake.
Muslim religion is simply where Christianity was in terms of social evolution several centuries ago. Give the Muslims a few more centuries and they'll mellow out just like the Christians mostly did.
theres a significant difference between islam and christianity.
christianity was manipulated by people in power so they can control. it was a misuse of the christian religion and false under many pretenses.
islam however has violence written right into the koran. imagine if the bible said "kill anyone who does not believe the word of christ" well thats exactly what the koran says.
check this link out. this UK local muslim leader states very clearly that the koran spells it out.
there are non violent muslims out there. however, when push comes to shove, the majority will follow whats in the book before they sit down with peace love and togetherness.
so no...they won't mellow out. did hitler mellow out after he was given land to pacify him? no...
