    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.

      It was written right into our Constitution, "No religious test shall be required for any public office." So there is no legal constitututional restriction on Muslims, Mormons, Buddists, Hindus, Catholics, Wiccans, or any other believer or non-believer for running for office. Sadly, narrow minded bigots who can't look past superficial issues are still allowed to vote.

      Besides, the fact remains that Barak Obama is not and never has been a Muslim.

      Er, so you're saying that Muslims don't believe in God?

    • Posted By: Mimi13 @ 08/25/2008 12:45:02 PM

      So, you're contention is that the great vision of Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Adams and so many other of that era to found a nation in which religion was not part of the state should be scrapped in favor of the narrow theocracies found in the middle east? Do you really think we should diminish ourselves as a nation because other countries are so narrow-minded? Why would you want to sink to the lowest common denominator? And if the United States should follow the path you suggest, how is it any different from the very countries that you disparage?

      So, you're saying that freedom of religion should be abolished?

    muslim, rosacrutianist, whatever.....if you have no ability, platform, integrity what is the difference?

    black yellow polkadot doesn't matter either if you are not ready for the position for which you apply.

    obama is not ready and maybe never will be. he is a trainee and his candidacy is an insult to the intelligence of the American Voter.

      Barak was at the top of his class at Harvard Law School, served in the Illinois State legislature, and has 4 years in the US Senate. He already has more government experience than GW Bush did when Bush ran for that office - admittedly, that isn't saying much!

  • Posted By: wildlifeusa @ 08/25/2008 12:42:00 PM

    Why newsweek wasting our time? He is NOT muslim and if he was, I would still vote for him, because I do not care what religion our candidates are! I would even vote for an Atheist.

    • Posted By: simonanunhappydem @ 08/25/2008 12:48:23 PM

      So you are happily discriminate against an Atheist but not against any other creed? How strange. I think religion or lack of it should not be part of the decision process. However, honesty and integrity should be. And this is what is in question regarding Obama, not his religion (at least as far as I am concerned). He was a Muslim as a child and he is denying it. That should be a problem for everyone.

      • Posted By: ceriman @ 08/26/2008 1:12:12 AM

        You got 2 things wrong. Wildlifeusa said "I would even vote for an Athiest", which hardly sounds like discrimination against athiests. Also, Barak Obama wasn't a muslim as a child, like everyone else he was born an athiest and later chose to join a Christian church, not a Muslim mosque. So of course he denied the Muslim rumor, it wasn't true! Duh!

    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...

      How will the False One respond? Hey, we've already heard from the swifboat liars for slander!

      Anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Of course, frivolous lawsuits tend to get thrown out of court, with prejudice, which meand Berg will have to pay court costs.

      As to why Obama hasn't sent his birth certificate. well, he has been rather busy with much more important matters, and the case was a recent filing. Give him time. If Berg really wanted to know, he could have looked up the records himself for a lot less time and money than the court case will cost him, but that wouldn't have helped the Neocon attack rumor machine.

            All Hussein has to do is provide simple documents to prove the allegations false. He has ignored request to do so. This in itself give an appearance of guilt. He will have to answer on this. BTW...the Judge in charge of the case, is a Clinton appointee...coincidence???

I get calls to come in on the weekend, leave wills for my family, stay alert and know one day i will gladly die for my country. What have you scarificed for your country and for how long? Obama is not a muslim, if he was, so what? Does that justify ignorance and bigotry? There are muslims in the military and police/firemen/doctors/etc protecting you citizens. Freedom of speech does not negate your responsibility to respect your fellow americans. Freedom is not free. we pay for it with blood, steel and tears.

    Let's make two points very clear here. 1 - Muslims DO NOT believe in separation of church & state. That is why none of their political "leaders" can do anything without getting some cleric(s) blessing. 2 - For the last 2 or 3 thousand years the only image they have given the rest of the world is one of religious intolerance and death to all who don't feel likewise. I more closely relate them to the Nazis than any other group in recent history. I definitley don't want to see them holding any postions of authority in this country. "God bless the USA".

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/25/2008 1:08:37 PM

      I agree, YOU DON'T TAKE A "CHANCE" ON AMERICA! Don't vote somebody in who is either Muslim or was raised as one till he was 10 and in a Muslim school! It's crazy, makes me think American's have lost their minds! Forget that his taxes DURING A RECESSION will kill the economy and cost American's MILLIONS OF JOBS!

      • Posted By: jayj211 @ 08/25/2008 1:13:38 PM

        If you're going to post things, at least post something factual. Obama has no intention of raising taxes for anyone except the wealthy. You're either rich, or you've been watching too many McCain ads...

        • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/25/2008 1:25:31 PM

          Yes I am rich. I paid $107,000 in taxes last year and that is way too much. The rich create jobs and pay the taxes that keep America moving! Top 10% of income earners paid 2/3 of all taxes. By raising taxes on only ONE group, the intelligent hard working educated bunch in America is not fair. Especially when Obama himself won't even help his poor brother George in Kenya who lives on $1 a day!

          Obama is a hypocrite and I am telling you now he will DESTROY America. Lazy good for nothing people are rewarded where the smart and SUCCESSFUL must pay. Pure BS and it will lead people like myself to hire people offshore and put businesses and money offshore to reduce taxes paid. Total taxes received under Obama will fall drastically as ITS SO EASY to setup companies and invest OFFSHORE!

          • Posted By: flamingo123 @ 08/25/2008 2:05:07 PM

            I absolutely agree with you Careerdayrader. Taxing the rich more seems like a good idea, actually it's not. The burden of higher taxes will be passed to the commoners to pay. Look at Cook County in Illinois, they got the highest sales tax in the nation and who is running that state, a DEMOCRAT. And Obama is a senator from Illinois. I truly believe that Obama will raise taxes, rich or average.

              Ahh I see you subscribe to the Lorena Helmsley school of economics - Only the Little People Pay Taxes!

              Oh, you poor little old rich kids!

              Sorry, but if we shift the tax burden onto the poor, or even go "flat tax", there won't be enough revenue to pay the interest on the national debt, let alone pay for the military. The rich got the most money, only the rich have enough to pay for the expensive military to protect their posh lifestyle.

          • Posted By: jayj211 @ 08/25/2008 3:13:56 PM

            Okay, you're whining about having had to pay 107,000 dollars in taxes??? Seriously? Do you realize that most people in the U.S. don't make that much money in a year? Boo hoo. I'm sure everyone is crying for you. And yes, I do think the more money you make, the more taxes you should pay. It's only fair. And, whoever gets into office is going to have to do something like raise taxes in order to get us out of the GREATEST deficit of all time...courtesy of your republican president.

        • Posted By: valark @ 08/25/2008 1:26:43 PM

          So you think that is okay, that only a small percent of the population gets taxed to support the larger population?

            No,but it is suppose to be based on income,the higher the income ,the higher the taxes are suppose to be ,wipe out the loop holes,like Leona Hemsley said "only little people pay taxes

          • Posted By: jayj211 @ 08/25/2008 3:27:38 PM

            First of all, everyone is taxed...not a small proportion. Now, should i pay 107k in taxes like our friend here? No. My household income was barely over that amount, but we paid our share. Did it suck? Yes. Do I wish I could pay less? Absolutely. But I'm over it. I am middle class and I am thankful every day that I have it as good as I do. Do i think ONLY the wealthy should be taxed? Of course not. But if you have that kind of money to pay in taxes, quit whining about it. Consider yourself lucky and move on.

          Many of the members of that church were asked by media if he regularly put down the US and unfortunately for YOUR cause he did. They are an Africa FIRST church and he regularly denounced the US and its leaders. Sorry Obama went there for 20 years, does NOT look good.

          While you can't serious BELIEVE in CHANGE from Obama you CAN BELIEVE THE GOP will use that video the week before the elections to switch back 10% to 20% of his followers to either NOT go vote or to vote for Mc Cain. It will be a close race but Obama is DOOMED to lose.

            I thought you had a 172 IQ? And you believe that 10-20% of Obama supporters will turn against him once they see a video that they have ALREADY SEEN a week before the election? If anything it would come off as a weak and desperate attack to salvage his campaign. Maybe you need to go back and work on your tax estimates too based on what you believe Obama will cost you. I'm not sure if you are as good with numbers as I had thought.

    Another MSM Newspaper picking up on Berg Lawsuit...Philadelphia times-Herald.....

    Born in the U.S.A.?
    By: KEITH PHUCAS, Times Herald Staff08/25/2008
    Email to a friendPost a CommentPrinter-friendly

    PHILADELPHIA - A Lafayette Hill attorney filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday challenging Sen. Barack Obama's claim to United States citizenship. The action seeks to remove the Democratic candidate from the November ballot.
    To be eligible to serve as U.S. president, a person must be born in this country. According to Obama's birth certificate, which his campaign posted on its Internet site in June to quell rumors that he is foreign born, the Illinois senator was born in Hawaii on Aug. 6, 1961.
    On Thursday, Philip Berg filed a temporary restraining order in federal court to bar Obama from running for president, claiming the Democratic candidate was actually born in Africa.
    "We really don't believe he was born in Hawaii," Berg said. "We think he was born in Kenya."
    The presidential candidate's father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, according to Obama's campaign Web site.
    Berg's suit claims the senator's grandmother, brother and sister, who live in Kenya, believe they were present during Obama's birth in the African country.
    Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in Kansas, and his parents met at the University of Hawaii when Dunham was a student there, according to the Obama campaign.
    Eventually, Obama's father returned to Kenya, and his son grew up in Hawaii with his mother and for a few years in Indonesia after Dunham married an Indonesian man, Lolo Soetoro. Also, Obama lived with his maternal grandparents in Hawaii.
    "If he was born in Hawaii, and he was adopted in Indonesia by Lolo Soetoro, (Obama) would lose his citizenship," Berg said.
    The Obama campaign has a special section on its Web site, "Fight the Smears," that debunks the birth certificate story and other reports that have circulated about him during the campaign.
    "It's part of a smear campaign," said an Obama campaign volunteer who identified herself as Rachel. "There are just so many lies out there."
    The lawsuit claims three "independent" document forensic experts performed extensive tests on the digitally-scanned image of Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth" posted on the campaign's site and found the document to be "a forgery."
    Jerome Corsi, author of the book, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," has also deemed the birth certificate phony, according to The Annenberg Political Fact Check, www.FactCheck.org.

    NOBAMA!!!

      My husband is a Muslim and a very good man. Although I'm no fan of Islam and I agree too many Muslims mistreat their females. Islam wasn't always this bad though. Actually when Christians were actively mistreating women in the Muslim world women were treated better. Never great mind you but better then Christian at the time and better than Muslims now. BTW female mutilation is not a Muslim practice it is a north African cultural tradtion and it's still just as dispicable no matter what relgion they are.

    I believe Obama is a Muslin at heart. I would not vote for him if he was Muslim - in any degree. The Muslim's have been ordered to take over the world. What a great way to start ruling the USA---have a Muslim be the President. No way will I vote for Obama!!

    • Posted By: not-fooled-by-slick-talking-charlatans @ 08/25/2008 3:34:58 PM

      Muslims have not been ordered to take over the world, In fact, I believe the most recent group of people that were focused on taking over the world were Christians (Nazi Germany). This a proven fact. That Obama is a Muslim is not a proven fact, it is a suspicion. The repulsive pundits that spread this nonsense make a name for themselves from taking advantage of public ignorance and paranoia.

          Hitler was a devout Catholic that Pope Pius admired - until Hitler lost the war. Also, the obsession with eliminating the Jews comes from certain Christian doctrines that blame Jews for the rejection and killing of Christ Jesus. But you are partially right, Nazism was a bizzare and irrational mix of Christian, Hindu, Occult and Pagan doctrines, all taken out of context and horribly distorted.

Please do read up on a subject before attempting to enlighten others. Thats like saying the KKK is a Christian organization; just because a group of morons hide behind a particular religion to try to appear that they are justified in their henious acts, does not mean that there is anyone of that religion who condons their actions, and, no, Hitler was not a Christian of any faith, nor did any religious leader admire him, he was detested. Sure, some biased writer may write that as a fact, but just as Mother Goose stories are fairy tales, so is that.

        Not fooled, thank you for enlightening us, now we don't have to worry anymore about that; we can move on to more important concerns. What makes you think the German nazis were Christian? To even use Christian & Nazi in the same sentence is an oxymoron. Some people with a little information can be dangerous, when they assume they have it accurate. Christians did not kill the Jews in Germany--that was Hitler and his nazi henchmen. Hitler certainly could NOT be called a Christian by anyones's stretch of the imagination. Please get your facts straight before attempting to educate others to truth.

        You need to brush up on your Islam. They do, indeed, have a religious duty to spread their message through peace or through force. Their duty is to bring the world under Islam. They (jihadist organizations like CAIR) have a 100 year agenda to subvert and convert America to Islam and to fly the Islamic flag over the nation's capital.

          Just like most of the Christian religions have an obligation to try and convert the world. Of course, with multiple deep divisions within both Muslim and Christian believers, they can't even convert their own to one religion!

        Nazi Germany had astrong alliance with Mohammedville. The Grand Mufti lived in Berlin during the war, and made weekly radio addresses to the German population. Hitler had them declared Aryan, and muslim SS Troops were formed. Plans for Jewish death camps in the Middle East were drawn up. After the war, the Grand Mufti was not executed along with his Nazi brethren. Didn't want to offend the mohammeds. HUGE mistake. He should have been hung like the dog he was.

        NOBAMA!!!

        Are you an idiot? Nazi Germany was not Christian's! It was a blend of paganism & the occult. Read a History Book !!!

      By that logic, we must have been under the rule of the Pope since JFK was a Catholic! The powers of the Presidency are severely limited by the Constitutution and balanced by the Congress and the Judiciary. Even if a Muslim or Mormon or Buddist were elected president, they would not be able to force the country into their religious beliefs, or even do all that much to favor their church. There have been many devoutly Christian presidents, but not one of them could make this country an Officialy Christian nation,

    According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is: The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

    • Posted By: ceriman @ 08/25/2008 10:00:10 PM

      Can you quote chapter and verse to prove it, or are you just blowing smoke?

      Though so., you are spreading absolute rubbish. the Book of Revelations says no such thing, it makes no mention of Islam as that was founded nearly 600 years later!

      Do you enjoy being a liar for the Christian Conservative movement? Does it pay well?

  • Posted By: Ms. Serevi @ 08/25/2008 3:57:04 PM

    I am muslim and yes we do try and spread our religion but only to those who want to accept it. The militant Muslims are very few in number the media just choses to display them at the forefront of my faith.

    • Posted By: star3 @ 08/25/2008 9:59:53 PM

      Ms Serevi, thank you for sharing that, and those are the sentiments of most thinking people, also, but, unfortunately, too many terrorist are committing un-acceotable acts and hiding behind religion as their reason, just as others have done in the past with various religions. God is about un-conditional love, forgiveness, and kindness, not all this hatered and killing. Its not the ordinary people who are into these things, all they want is to live out their lives in peace & harmony with each other; its the governments who get into disputes and decide to fight. Any parent in any country will tell you, I'm sure, that they only want to be able to raise their children in a world where they will be safe, and grow into fine adults who can make a good life for themselves. We are more alike than we are different in this world, but there is evil that is working hard to keep us from realizing our dreams. We ALL, of every faith need to work together to prevent this evil from destroying us, because it is not only directed at America, but at every nation on the planet. Humans are just the physical beings by which this evil is using to wreck havoc; when everyone recognizes the truth of this, then, and only then, will we, possibly, have a chance to turn all our good forces, our good energy toward fighting the REAL enemy.

    Because we ARE American made up of (mostly) Americans I guess my concern would be can you be a Muslim and still hold dear what America stands for? Would the Muslim belief overshadow the way we do business so to speak - would we send our men and boys to fight or help another country because we have a sense of commitment towards their right to freedom or to die because it would be what Allah wants? I guess I would have a lot of questions ...

    • Posted By: rdoudna @ 08/25/2008 1:51:10 PM

      Are you suggesting that all Muslims are homogeneous in their faith? They're not. Most Muslims are peaceful people -- nearly 1/3 of the world is Muslim.

      • Posted By: eliza5238 @ 08/25/2008 2:01:53 PM

        "nearly 1/3 of the world is Muslim" - that in itself is the scariest.

        • Posted By: ceriman @ 08/25/2008 9:53:07 PM

          It is also the most revealing. If even a substantial fraction of those Muslims really wanted to conquer the world for Allah, we would be having a major world war on our hands, rather than these skirmishes with a small band of terrorist nutcases. Nope, what most Muslims want is what most Christians/Jews/Buddists/Hindus/Athiests want - a good job and a good life with family and friends to share it with.

    I would agree that there is room for an intelligent dialog if we were talking to intelligent people. I don???t understand why people need to hide behind issues, as an excuse, to dislike Obama. Just tell the truth, you don???t like him because he is black. Maybe if you just openly admit it you can move beyond it.

    Oh by the way, if you???ve ever read the King James Bible???s description of the way Christ looked, I think we can all agree that Obama has features that mirror the earthly image of Christ. I wonder what you will do when you get to heaven. God said to love all people and your hatred of a man because of his color or even his religion is wrong. Christ will separate the wheat.

    • Posted By: star3 @ 08/25/2008 9:39:35 PM

      Y.Sister, listen up, and get this the first time, because I am not going to repeat it. No one has a problem with his color, except morons, but the rest of us do not care if he is black, white, purple or green with orange poka dots, but we DO care about his policies and his plans for our country should he become the next president!! Now that I have cleared that up for you, lets move on, shall we? The first thing you need to do is stop assuming that just because someone disagrees with you, they are, by definition, an idiot. Obama disagree with Bush, with McCain--does that make him an idiot? McCain disagrees with Obama, but he is not an idiot, either.Bill Clinton disagrees with EVERYONE, so is he an idiot---umm...we won't go any farther with that... O.K....Next...!

    I'll tell you what...if he IS a MUSLIM, he should be lynched!

    • Posted By: ceriman @ 08/25/2008 9:37:41 PM

      Do you think all muslims should be lynched, or just the black ones? Are you including muslim women and children? How about those fighting with our troops against al qaida?

      Go wash your sheets, *** boy, your pointy white hood has a stain on it!

      Give me a break! It is bad enough to make Obama a 'Rock Star,' but to try and deify him is going to far. He is not the Christ, nor is he the antichrist. He is just a man who has risen quickly to the top because America's younger generation desires to see some changes. However, though I do believe that he is a Christian, and that he is patriotic, and that he does love his country, the presidency is not the palce for on-the-job trining. If electe, he will be tested by radical Muslim extremists. Then, we will see what he is made of, and by whom he stands.

        Pug, there is nothing I can add to that exdept AMEN!!
