You are like myself entitled to your views on his National policies . I happen to disagree with them but the issue here is about whether Obama is a Muslim. I have seen NO evidence that he is.
Not even a smidgen of remotely rational proof or statement of fact to that effect.
Not being a rabid anti-islam politician does not a Muslim make him.
I am staunchly Atheist ( and loathe all kinds of fundamentalism religious or ideological) and I believe trying to open a dialogue and extend an open hand to Muslims is a good thing. This hardly makes me a Muslim. I do not see why Obama not frothing at the mouth every time the word Muslim is uttered suddenly is proof that he is trying to turn the US into Teheran. Quite frankly the mind boggles at this bizarre leap of imagination.
Liars in all governments are the enemy that is true and I hate to disillusion you but pretty much all politicians ( and all Human beings for that matter) either lie or distort the truth. It does not mean that lies are acceptable but that it is a fact of life. Human nature if you will. By all accounts I would say Obama's ones are a lot whiter than his predecessor for example.
And presumably if he is lying about being a Muslim there is evidence somewhere out there ? Any proof ?
Demonise the guy on his policies by all means as a Politician but can't we just keep religion out of Politics and start to behave like rational grown ups with more serious considerations for critiquing someone than what they believe in ?
To be honest I personally think Obama is quite likely an Atheist. He strikes me as a little too rational and level headed to believe in a supernatural being. Like a lot of people who claim to be Christians because it keeps the peace and means social acceptance.
I think it is essential and critical of anyone to question and challenge their leader . That is healthy and what politics is about. What I find bizarre is when people get whipped up into hysterical frenzies about whether their President is a Muslim, or not. And those who accuses him of being almost the evil Twin of Bin-Laden come up with what as proof... Nothing but hot air, speculations and groundless accusations.
I am sure you can find enough weapons in your arsenal of anti-Obama views without having to resort to something so puerile and inconsequential.
I just wish that for once people went back to the nitty gritty of politics, National and International Policies and stop the big issues from becoming blurred with silly accusations and idiotic finger pointing on whether the Commander in Chief attends Church or not.
I personally dislike my current Prime Minister ( also my local Member of Parliament) for many, many reasons. All of them Political . I have enough to dislike him without adding to it whether he goes to Church or not.
I could not care less whether David Cameron is Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic or a Pagan. The man is wrong on so many levels that have nothing to do with his religion.
As I said before what on earth is this mind boggling obession Americans have with their politicians wearing their faith and heart on their sleeves ?
Who bloody cares ? Pillory them for their actions not what God they worship for goodness sake.
Politics is dirty enough without having to resort to personal mud slinging. I find it churlish and childish in the extreme.
Policies and national issues. What else matters ? This forum is not about Politics it is simply about personalities and I often feel I am watching a high-school popularity contest which quite frankly is a little pathetic and sad.
