The president's religion is irrelevant to his job performance but important to his electability.
Agreed.
However, many others don't beleive him and think he's some kinda secret or closet muslim.
They're paranoid. I garuntee the vast majority who think he's muslim, also hold a negative opinion of Islam.
It doesn't help that he carries a foreign, even Muslim-sounding name,
He can't help that.
His father was muslim,
He can't help that.
and attended a muslim school during childhood in Indonesia.
False. Fact Check:
This article, citing anonymous sources, claimed that "Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia." But this allegation was quickly shown to be false. Days after the article appeared, CNN sent reporter John Vause to Jakarta, Indonesia, to visit the school. He reported:
CNN: I came here to Barack Obama's elementary school in Jakarta looking for what some are calling an Islamic madrassa ... like the ones that teach hate and violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan. … I've been to those madrassas in Pakistan ... this school is nothing like that.
Obama has essentially brought this debate on himself because of his inconsistancy between his christian faith and some of his actions.
What actions?
On one hand he says he supports the ground zero mosque.
Bring up the transcript of his speech and show me EXACTLY where he "supports" it. He supported their rights.
Some also feel he spends more time appeasing muslims then showing support for christians which could feed into the confusion.
If you mean he's not starting any new wars with muslim countries... it's a start...
According to one poll 60 percent of those who are convinced Obama is Muslim say they learned that from the media.
Well then who's fault is it people think that? It is after all a lie...
These people are misinformed based on what they see on the news... not uninformed.
Ah, they are uninformed because they haven't bothered to look at the evidence to the contrary.
He's been shown worshipping with Muslims with his shoes off he's bowed to Muslim leaders including the king of Saudi Arabia... and since becoming president, no longer attends a Christian church. He makes the excuse he doesn't want to interfere with services for other christians on sunday. However, he's seen quite frequently playing sunday golf and apparently has no problem disrupting others on the course. He spent Christmas in Hawai and didn't attend any service celebrating the birth of Christ. Those things don't go unnoticed by the leader of the free world. No wonder only 34% of americans take him at his word....
Mmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmm
You know, I'm actually kind of glad we don't have a religious nutjob of any stripe in the white house that feels he has to spend every waking hour in church because god has to tell him what to do.
It really wouldn't matter how much time he spent in church, he could set up a webcam live on the internet to show that he prays to Jesus everyday and you'd still accuse him of faking it and being muslim.
LET IT GO! He's not muslim, and the people that want to paint him muslim, do it mostly because they wanna attach the negative connations to it.
