George Bush is a Christian. His religion didn't help him prevent 9/11, did it?

Wrong. What a contradiction. Look at the US currency. In GOD we trust. How can a Muslim follow and lead this nation with this kind of belief? As a Church goers, are you to say that if I went to Iraq and tried to be elected for president in a background other than Muslim that they would say "By all means..your in!"? I think not. But they come to the US of A because they can. What kind of crap is that. They can do this to us and yet we can't do it over their? One thing they do on their country's that we really lack here in the US of A is consistency. Demo's have no backbone. They like to make everyone happy for the sake of everyone without repercussion.
He was muslim then I would never vote for him. I don't believe muslims actually believe in equal rights. Just look at the rights of religious minorities in Islamic states.
what about muslim-americans? there are millions of them who believe in "equal rights" as strongly as you.
Bottom line. America is a big Joke. The rest of the world is begining to see it.
newsweekbigjoke: you are a big joke. speak for yourself. even Idiots have an opinion. Leave if you this is what you think. You must have been born here because I moved here as a child from a small country and I know how GREAT the UNITED STATES is especially when you compare to MOST other countries if not all. The rest of the world must worry what WE think of them. They need us to buy their stuff. even russia or iran would hurt when we stop buying their oil. So in short you sir are a joke and in short you SUCK!
The inner sanctum of God within all of us is thwarted more by the religious Christians, who place power in the belief that they will be saved after death and excuse themselves from any attempt at knowing God within.
How backwards and unfortunate that many in the U.S. live their lives in mediocrity and vote the same way, based on what others in their group support and embracing common knowledge of ignorance.
Should we also bring suit of McCain's citizenship?

This article makes many sound points. Religious bigotry is the only form of bigotry that is somewhat acceptable in this country. Many Christians believe that the only path to salvation or "heaven" is through faith in Christ. Anyone who believes differently is wrong, and thus damned. This is preached time and time again, and I personally find it very offensive. Jefferson said there should be a wall built between religion and politics.
What's important is not whether Obama is or is not a Muslim. The perception in the Islamic world is that he is. Obama becoming President would be a huge boost to Islamic fundamentalists worldwide. Like it or not, fair or not, we can cannot have Obama in the Oval Office.
please explain how this perception would boost islamic fundamentalism? the "islamic world" is not inheriently fundamentalist, yet why not use your theme more logically- that is, w/ this perception, maybe we will have a more fundamental opportunity to communicate and negotiate w/ moderate muslims worldwide.
Excellent essay about emphasizing the supposed separation between church and state. I, for one, would have no problem voting for an atheist, if this atheist was qualified in all other respects. Realistically, I believe Americans are, finally, smart enough to vote for the person, regardless of race. Obama's got my vote!
Obama was a Muslim, as a child, proven by his school enrollment form in Indonesia. So there can be no discussion about this, unless we decide to disregard facts. Given this fact the only question is whether this matters. It should not except that Obama denied that he has ever been a muslin, which is a lie. And that is why this is a problem.
OMG! Check your facts. At least go to snopes.com and get the truth.
Interview with Phillip Berg, former Deputy Attorney General for State of Pennsylvania, after filing suit against Hussein Obama, in Federal Court Thursday.............................
"Sen. Obama really owes it to everyone to confront this. He should threaten me....Berg... he should say...here are the documents and, if you do not withdraw the suit, I will sue you... Right now, he has no basis to sue me. If he does have the documents, he should show them, and I???ll walk away. I???ll withdraw the case. But, again, he must show me a certified vault copy of his birth certificate and must show me a certified copy of the oath of allegiance taken between the time he was 19 to 21 at a Consulate, U.S. Embassy or the like. If those documents can be presented, again, I???m out of here. But I don???t think he can, I don???t think he will, and I think it is a total disgrace on his part."
SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AND A STRONG CHALLENGE. How will The False One respond??? One thing is for sure...He will HAVE to address it now.
A mohammed in the White House??? God forbid...and He has...
NOBAMA!!!
THE SKY IS FALLING!
THE SKY IS FALLING!
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HAS VAGUE AND PERSONALLY INSIGNIFICANT TIES TO SOME RELIGION OTHER THAN MINE!
THE SKY IS FALLING!

Thank you, Thank you , Thank you for finally addressing this issue head on. America is a "melting pot", a haven to people from a wide range of diverse backgrounds, and, dare I say it, religions. So why is the assumption being held that one must be Christian to assume the presidency? What then is the purpose of having a separation of Church and State? On the one hand I'm happy that religion is now spoken about so freely and openly in the public forum. On the other hand I'm afraid as the article so aptly pointed out that this could become the preferred (or should I say politically correct) form of discrimination going forward. We can not allow our society to degenerate back to the dark ages. What's next, the Crusades all over again?
Yeh, and we dont know if McCain is not really an alien from another galaxy do we? of course he will never admit it until he transforms into a silver fleshed big eyed man eater and devours all us humans, maybe even some republicans.
what kind of fckd up logic are you using?
Did Mitt Romney convert Massachussetts to Mormonism?

Can you back up this assertion that the 'perception' is that he's a Muslim?
I think it is obscene to look at the externals of what a person might do, when the evidence of what he has done is available. It is not important what religeon Obama practices, What is important is what his behavior is, what his core beiefs are, and can he do the job.
Let us not forget 9/11 and the effect it has had on the American scene. Just because someone says they aren't something does not mean it's the truth. We can't take a chance on having "Osama's brother" running the country. It is the most important job in the country. Russia said back in 1962 that they would bury us from within. That's what could happen if we have a Muslim president.
I am a Democrat, but if Obama was a muslim, I would not vote for him. I never believed that muslims actually believe in democracy and equal rights for all citizens especially religious minorities. Religious minorities have very few rights in Islamic countries.
So What If He Were Muslim?????......I can't stop laughing.....IF he were muslim....hahahahahahah....of course HE IS MUSLIM.
Almost as bad is how hard he has tried to deny it. ALMOST. Not a lot of things more disgusting, than Islam. The spawn of a fallen Angel and a pedophile warrior.
I love the term "Radical Islam". That means the ones that are radical actually perform the murders. The non-radical only provide finances and moral support.
Allah Akbar....NOT
A mohammed in the White House??? GOD forbid...And HE has....
NOBAMA!!!
The spawn of a fallen angel and a pedophile warrior??
You are really going too far, Holy Rolly. Rolly Polly. You're posts are laughable if they weren't so full of hate.
Laughable??? It is the absolute truth....Ever heard of the "Satanic Books" about the deal Satan made with Muhammed when in prison in Medina??? Muhammed took them out later, but they still exist today. Try Google sometimes.
Muhammed WAS a pedophile. He like his "women" from about 6 yrs. old to aroud 11. He married a 9 yr. old.
Allah=Satan. The religion is a perversion of Judaism. It takes a few truths and mixes them with lies from the depths of Hades.
The children of Ishmael were at one time a great people....until Islam arrived. Now thy are no more than 3rd world at best.
NOBAMA!!!
How much are you being paid to print these vile lies? You obviously have NO knowledge of what you profess to have knowledge of . You are a really sad sad hateful person. I pity you.
Don't just accuse me of being a liar. Point them out. Back up your statement. I will be happy to provide verifiable reference to my statement.
NOBAMA!!!
You are very uneducated about religious matters. I'm calling you out... let's go at it.
