Like anyone cares (or considers) a random Imam to be an authority on religious matters. Most imams have the same amount of authority over Muslims as Pastor Terry Jones has over other Christians. Majority of Muslims don't really care too much about imams and their fatahs and hardly follow them as far as I know.

Default You cannot leave the Catholic Church

JFK for example was a baptized Catholic.

There are rules set by each religion to determine who is and who isn't.

You aren't a Muslim iman and so you can't rewrite their rules for how they determine who is a Muslim. Under Muslim rules, a child of a Muslim is a Muslim. It's a lot like citizenship of a country. I can't just say I'm a citizen of Spain. It's up to the rules of that country if I am or I am not.

In Christianity one must be baptized and there is no evidence Obama ever was. When he was sent to that Catholic school, his religion was listed as Islam -- so at what point did he ever quit being a Muslim?
There used to be an official form for renouncing, but they did away with that a few years. Too many people, and lose of money, leaving? Excommunication just means you cannot receive the sacrements. You are still a Catholic and can be "forgiven" for your sin. Even if you join another church, if you were bapitzed as a baby with no choice, they still consider you a "heretic", but Catholic. You can always REPENT. lol
Personally, I don't care that a President is any, or no, religion. I would prefer an Athiest anyway. Eliminates a lot of problems.

I've personally never seen any evidence to support the allegation that he's a Muslim.

It is a cult with dubious origins and some pretty whacked beliefs...
So the National Enquirer has a religion page now, huh?

You can thank reality tv & consumerism for this.
Who cares. What is more alarming is many do not know the constitution and the principle we were founded on.

Very few Americans know what kind of "Christian" church he attended for over 20 years, have heard of Rev. Wright, and the hatred towards white people this church spewed.
A Baptist One, dont forget to write this down lol, Name one thing he said about white people name one. Everyone who use this same ole BS statement cannot back it up if their life depended on it and its sad and funny

Quote:
Much of the blame for the lack of knowledge about this goes to John McCain who refused to bring this subject up when he ran against Obama.
because he himself knew it is something pointless, but considering the republican base has a large group of senile idiots. Im pretty sure they still think the russians are coming

Quote:
Even if Obama isn't a practicing Muslim he grew up with a heavy Muslim influence.Both his father and step father were Muslim.
so

Quote:
He sprtion of his childhood in Muslim Indonisia. He said the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful souent a good pond he has heard and that he will stand with the Muslims no matter what.
and that means what?

Quote:
Plus the actions he has taken as President have advanced the agenda of radical Islam. In particular his support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and beyond.
hahaha it was other american politicians who were in support of the rebels who were al qaeda

Quote:
So anyone who calls Obama a Muslim is more informed and less naive than someone who actually thinks Obama is a mainstream Christian

WTH is a mainstream christian? What sect is that? A good ole sinner!!!

People are idiots, and they only watch news that confirms their world views

From what I understand Obama is some sort of off-shoot of baptist (Christian). His dad was a muslim, but converted to Christanity but was most likely an Atheist.

I would agree, I am doubtful someone as smart as Barack puts a lot of faith in one of these silly folk tales (Christanity, etc)
