There's another underlying tone going on here. Let's say Obama is Muslim. So what? What does it matter? Even if he were Muslim (which he's not) that wouldn't mean that he's necessarily any less fit for presidency, wouldn't mean he's "out there supporting the terrorists," which is the underlying fear many people have about him when they "accuse" him of being Muslim. So really, his religion doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is his policies, and the actions he actually takes.

Looks like the anti-Obama propagandists are winning this particular argument - pathetic as it may be.
It'd be harder if Obama didn't help out so much.

People need help? Well, I take that back... we're speaking about right wingers.

So, what kind of help is expected?

How is Obama encouraging people to believe he's a Muslim?

People believe what they want to believe. If believing that he is a muslim vents their spleens..gets their goats, and floats their boats, then they are happy to do so. Tiny people with tiny minds tend to attract one another..like town gossips who put their pantyhose on backwards, and eat huge boxes of peanut brittle.

I think a bigger percentage of the US population does not believe in evolution. What man believes about one thing is relative to what he believes about something else.

If Obama pays any attention at all he already knows a lot of people are predisposed to believe he is a Muslim because of his father, his time in Indonesia, his name, and so on. Knowing that he still runs around ducking Christian events and supporting Muslim events and actions even when he is the sole cause of the event (ie saying NASA's most important job is to make Muslims feel better about thing that happened centuries ago). It's similar to the birth certificate situation. It would take minimal action to defuse the situation, and yet Obama refuses to do even that.

Reverend Wright talks about black people pulling themselves up and trying their best. Who gave you the right to tell other Christians they are not Christians? I know Christ did not say that.

My prediction is like many of the Repug views being based in fantasy vs reality, he will win reelection.
