I agree. Obama should just admit it already. What is he afraid of?

Yes, we know they have a right. You are confusing church and state, I think. According to the tenets of Islam, Obama is a Muslim, period. And furthermore, he behaves as if his loyalties lie with Islamic people.

His father and mother didn't practice Islam. His grandfather was a Muslim and I'm assuming other family members on his father side are Muslims because Africa has lots of Muslims.

According to the Bible Obama is a Christian, so I leave it at that.

I hope you liberals actually do succeed in destroying Islam. Redefine it all you please - I prefer the liberals' definitions of it a whole lot more than the Muslims' definitions.
Well, you're praying for the destruction of a religion you hate. What a surprise! But don't worry about it... if it ain't yours, shouldn't be your business.

As for the likeness between Islam and your personal beliefs (can I call it Christian Zionism?) as far as personal rights are concerned (homosexuality, personal choices...) yes, y'all share the boat. Thanks for pointing at similarities I didn't bother to mention earlier for sake of brevity. Anyway, back to the point I was making... liberals tend to stand for minority causes and against oppression. You're part of the majority, right? I can see why you would be pissed.

More like he's behaving as if he actually cares about the freedom of religion.

Good to know that. According to the tenets of Islam, Jesus too is a Muslim.

No, he's not. He's considered a Jew, and therefore a "believer," but revered as a prophet.

Jews are considered "believers" in Islam? I guess that means Palestine and Israel have been fighting all this time for nothing.

Kind of difficult as Jesus well born long before Mohammed showed up.

How on Earth can anyone say that Obama is muslim? Have they seen him face Mecca to pray? Is he fasting now, during the holy time?

Just because his name may SOUND muslim doesn't mean he is. Seriously, anyone who honestly believes he's a muslim needs to be checked for insanity.
