Talk of the town: Is Obama Muslim ?


Pew Research Poll reports that 20% of Americans believe President Barack Obama is Muslim. Obama denies the allegations and maintains that he is Christian. The mainstream media continues to distort his religious beliefs and the polls measuring public opinion don't seem to be letting up. Obama responds,  "I'm not gonna be worrying too much about whatever rumors are floating on out there" "If I spend all my time chasing after that, then I wouldn't get much done." LBH, there are quite "clever " sources out there that may cause one to think twice. For example in September 2008, Obama interviews with George Stephanopoulos on ABC this morning and allegedly slips up in admitting that he is Muslim. On the other hand, the well known, Franklin Graham of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has prayed with Obama and supports the President on CNN in "speaking for himself" and his Christianity. Many say there is not enough evidence to prove Barack Obama is Christian. We ask is there truly enough evidence to prove he is anything other than Christian?  We want to hear from you, is Obama telling the truth or is this merely a distorted act similar to the Shirley Sherrod controversy ?

  1. I really don't think it matters. People just want a reason to hate him and will latch on to anything they can to make that happen. Even if he is muslim...so what? What does it change? All muslims are not terrorists. Holla at me when you find proof that he is a part of al-Qa'ida, then I may have a problem.

  2. If we are to believe in the Constitution of this country, then the question shouldn't be asked. The Constitution clearly says, "Seperation between Church & State". I remember alot of peopel criticizing Joell Lieberman when he was running becasue he was Jewish. I've often said this country will elect someone of a different race before they would elect a Woman (next), different religion (after a woman) or sexual orientation (lastly). Voting on religion instead of qualifications is a sort of racism that we tend to accept in this country. You can't be a democracy and a christian nation. You have to choose.
