So What If He Were Muslim?

I've spent 13 year sin the USAF and served my country well and honorably. I've endured hardships growing up in the south becuase of my mized heritage, i still endure ignorance from people today, people we have sworn to protect, and i gladly endure hardships from serving my country. But, the bigots and racists posting these hateful comments on this article are really turning my stomach. Thank you america, thank you for erasing the sucess we've endured as a people by continuing to perpetuate this hate.

When we cant even refer to the terrorist as Radical Islam terroirst then yes it does matter he has ties to Isalm. If had addressed it in the beginning I dont think it would have been a big deal However he just denies denies denies. He should have know that and addressed. He is far to radical in his policies not to even consider that it would be a big deal unless he was counting on Americans being "polical correctness and their desire to keep up with the Jones" by acceptin Diversity and Islam with open arms so they can tell their frineds yes of course I support the Africasn American Isalmic candidate.... You are sheep

The Constitution and the Koran are in direct conflict so a Muslim can't become President

Permit me to translate "experience" and "he is a Muslim" into white, ignornece for you, Mr. Close. BTW, i am white:

"Barak Obama lacks experience being a white man. His father was Muslim and so Obama will never, really be able to properly hate Muslims the way I allow myself to hate Muslims. You gotta hate somebody if you fear you are below average as I fear myself to be. I have a space in my head for hare and I feed it regularly. I am encouraged to indulge myself in hatred by the leader of the last eight years. Where is Obama's hate???? He lacks experience."

Hope that translation clears up the confusion about what is meant when people complain about his lack of "experience". The Constitution, of course, says who is qualified and Obama is an almost 50-year-old, brilliant man who taught to Constitution of the United States to law students at the U. of Chicago for five years. So, yeah, all he lacks is hate toward he proper people. Note please those who most often accuse him of lack of experience. They are the ones most invested in hate.

WHO IS KIDDING WHO HERE? CATHOLICS ARE NOT BOMBING MUSLIMS NOR DO THEY PUBLICLY CALL FOR ALL MUSLIMS TO BE KILLED NOR DO THEY THREATEN ANYONE WHO WILL NOT CONVERT TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH. THE SAME HOLD TRIED FOR PRESBYTERIANS, BAPTISTS, AGNOSTICS ETC.
THE BEST WAY FOR MUSLIMS TO CHANGE PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF THEIR RELIGION IS TO STAND UP AND DEFY THE FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO WANT TO KILL ANYONE WHO IS NOT A MUSLIM. NEWSWEEK WOULD NOT DARE COMDEMN MUSLIM FANATICS, BUT HAVE NO PROBLEM BASHING CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE CHRISTIANS WILL NOT COME AFTER THEM. CHRISTIANS CONDEMN FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS, WHITES HAVE STOOD UP FOR BLACKS, SO DON'T TELL ME MODERATE MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT STAND UP AND CONDEMN THE RADICAL MUSLIMS. AS FAR AS OBAMA IS CONCERNED, HE IS VERY HAPPY TO USE BOTH HIS OLD RELIGION AND HIS COLOR TO DEFLECT ANY CRITICISM OF HIS POLICIES AND POSITIONS. I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY, NOT A WHINER.

Being a white person familiar with the history of the middle east, permit me to translate for you, Mr. Close? The two things most held against Obama from the mouths of white and also of certain religions are these: "Obama is inexperienced and he is a Muslim". It matters not when it is pointed out he has more experience to elected office than H. Clinton. It matters not when they are told Obama taught the Constitution of the United States for five years to law students at the U. of Chicago. It matters not that Obama clearly is deeply touched by his Christian relegion. No amount of sense will budge them and it's because you don't
know the code. Here is what they really mean:

"Obama lacks experience being a white man. Obama's father was a Muslim and so he will never be able to muster the hate i feel for Muslims. I have a place in my heart for hate and i feed it regularly. Obama does not hate who i hate. I can not trust Obama to hate. Where is Obama's hate???!"

Hope you now have a deeper understanding of what these good people suffer.

"Obama lacks experience being a white man.

Some people are just stuck on stupid. Some here are playing the (Muslim card) to hide the fact that they dont want a Black man in the White House. These politicians are all the same, yes even Obama. There are real issues and concerns out there. This nation needs to move forward and leave crap like this in the past where it belongs. Look I dont have a preference of who sits in the oval office because all politicians are basically the same.

I thought Lord Barack Obama the most merciful was supposed to bring us together with his great message of change....

I guess you have to be a village idiot to believe that now don't you....

To those who parrot "empty suit" I challenge you to state the intellectually shallow McCain's positions IN DEPTH... OTHER THAN.... p.o.w. my friends.... prisoner..... my friends...... abortion....... my friends.....i know how to win wars.
give me SOMETHING of substance.... ANYTHING..... (but what can you expect from a man 894 out of 899 classmates.

My reservation stems from his use of the Koran to take his oath of office as a Senator. And the public statement that he would use the same book to take the oath of office as President. Here is a man that went to a church for twenty years and didn't discover that it preached racial hate mongering untill the reporters mad an issue of it, then blew it off essentially. Sad commentary for the leader of our country.

some of you closed minded people are just stuck on stupid. Lets be real ok. common sense should tell you that Barack is not a muslim but I suspect that those who dont want to see a black president uses the Muslim card to cover up their deep seeded bigotry.

I absolutely believe that Obama is Muslim, and therefore dangerous. He only started practicing Christianity when he knew he was going to get involved in politics. Why else would he not wear the American flag pin on his chest, or hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance? Also, Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. As part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail... What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with a symbol of himself... Obama is such a despicable human being.

None and I mean NONE of the above are true facts.
I realize there is probably nothing I can do to change your mind about what you perceive to be the truth,
but you might want to have at least a cursory galnce at the website:

Can you say Sleeper Cell? Isn't that what they do? Blend into the american way of life?

It is an issue because Islam is a cancer to everything it touches, and to root it as deeply in our country as the presidency would be like deliberately giving our nation lukemia. I know it is not a politically correct thing to say, but I am not the only one who is thinking it. THAT is why it matters. This nation has gone so far downhill in the last 8 years that we probably wouldn't come out of it as a whole.

Can you say "Sleeper Cell?" Isn't that their objectives, to blend in with the american way of life...it's not like they don't do that.

For all the talk of democracy, Americans are at their core racial and religious bigots. I predict they will never elect a black man.
