Is Obama a Muslim?
Posted 41 weeks 20 hours ago byI am concerned that Barack Obama may be hiding the fact that he is a Muslim. I am a Protestant American citizen who still remembers the 9/11/2001 attack by radical Muslims on my fellow Americans. After going through numerous troublesome airline security check-ins, I am made painfully aware that radical Muslims don't like me or want me to exist. Because of this I have been made to fear Muslims in general and whether they have an underlying agenda when they greet me and smile at me. Because of these feelings, I'm not ready to support any candidate that may have been a Muslim or have any Muslim connected background.

Think a little...
Submitted on February 5th, 2008 by LilaThere's an old saying that "Each tub stands on its own bottom." Individuals matter in our country. It's one of our core values. At the same time, it's not easy these days because our enemies don't wear uniforms to identify themselves. So under the circumstances, I tend to go with the odds when feeling fearful and ask myself, "What are the chances that my fears are accurate about this person?" When I do that, I can usually move on. Good luck to you. I hope you can work it out.
I think Barack is one of us.
You have the solution in your hands.

This is a persistent meme, to be sure. But you have the key to it here.
That the people held responsible for the 9/11 attacks were reported Islamic extremists is not, in and of itself, troublesome. David Koresh was the leader of a cult loosely based on Christian teachings, and Jim Jones was an ordained Protestant minister.
It is taking the extreme example as representative of a whole spectrum of ideas and beliefs that is causing problems here. The 9/11 hijackers are not representative of Islam any more than David Koresh or Jim Jones were of Christianity.
Edited to fix grammar.
Obama is NOT a Muslim
Submitted on February 5th, 2008 by BenPlease, let's put this preposterous rumor to a rest. Barack Obama is not a secret Muslim.
See here, here, here, and here.
I'm not a Barack Obama fan at all. But peddling these rumors and conspiracies does his opponents no honor. Stop it.
