What difference would it make?

There is no religious test in this country to be president. As long as a person is a natural born citizen, 35 years old, and a resident for 14 years, they are qualified to serve as president.

Now if we could just get rid of that pesky 22nd amendment, President Obama could serve for life.

Guest 02-11-2015 12:10 PM

What actions imply he is a Muslim? I've not seen him on a prayer rug nor showing any response to a call to prayers. Hasn't this old saw worn out its teeth yet? Next you'll be telling us he was born in Kenya.

None.
The question was if one THINKS he is a Muslim.

Guest 02-11-2015 01:27 PM

I don't know that I would call him a Muslim, but I believe he is very sympathetic to them and their cause because of his upbringing.

You are right. He is in no way a Muslim.

He does have an empathy for Islam and Muslims because that is what he grew up around and where he spent his formative years

Has any other president, or for that matter, public figure, been subjected to such speculation about his/her birth and background? We can thank cable news, talk radio, and the Internet for much of that - with the willing support of an easily influenced partisan audience. It is documented, he was raised by Christians in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia with his mother and stepfather where he went to Catholic elementary school, moved back to Hawaii to live with his Christian grandparents and has been a practicing Christian in adulthood. When you are in a known group of right wingers you should feel free to talk about this ridiculous clap trap, but in the general public, or on an open forum know that most folks are laughing at your pitiful grasp of reality.

"right wingers".......not very tolerant of the other sides views...eh?

From PolitiFact...

"Sure, he went to an Indonesian school where most of the children were Muslim and there are accounts that he sometimes attended a mosque with his Islamic stepfather. But there is no evidence that the president was a practicing Muslim raised in the faith."

Gordon Robertson says Obama was "raised Muslim" | PolitiFact Virginia

Thus the Christian School and Catholic is out the window. It IS documented that his stepfather WAS a Muslim.

To your other questions....NO, I certainly in my lifetime and reading cannot recall any other President being subject to such speculation, HOWEVER, President Obama had a very unique upbringing and track to the WH. Thus it is understandable.

I do not feel it has any importance any longer frankly. I think it may have helped in some situations because I DO think he is reluctant to "go after" Muslims in general. I hope it has helped anyway.

It was a legitimate arguement in 2008 but holds no water any longer.

Guest 02-11-2015 03:03 PM

What's funny is that he was bashed for being a a "follower" of Rev. Jeremiah Wright to being bashed for being a Muslim. Stay on course.

BOTH are correct. His youth was as described. He joined Rev Wright in Chicago and interesting to read why and their relationship.

HOWEVER.....I really see not reason to keep discussing this. I realize that you think ONLY those who oppose the President's policies, are talking incorrectly but the last few posts reflect that BOTH sides are incorrect.

Why doesnt everyone post on the Iran situation, the Ukraine situation, the dead girl, the ISIL situation, etc. Is this not a waste of time ?

Guest 02-11-2015 04:15 PM

I take this thread as I find it. The OP asked if others believed that Obama is a Muslim. I believe by thought manner and action Obama is a Muslim. I believe his action, er rather inaction concerning ISIS patently supports this contention. Some speak to his membership in Jeremiah Wrights church as proof that he is not a Muslim but probably christian, however the fact is that Wright's church is not actually Christian.

Some express indignation that Obama is being subjected to this kind of scrutiny but they forget that Kennedy was viewed with heavy suspicion as being Catholic and many people actually believed if he was elected the Pope would be a frequent visitor. Yet liberals dismiss out of hand the 70+ visits by Al Sharpton as bias against a black president.

I started out by saying I take this thread as I find it meaning I certainly would not duck any issue. Those suggesting that it doesn't matter if he is or isn't might want to see the danger this guy is placing us in because he is so aligned with Islam that he places terrorist ahead of the American people

Finally people with agendas count the advantage of surprise.....like you can keep your doctor if you want and you can keep your insurance if you want.

No president in my lifetime including Nixon has had less credibility than this guy

See any pattern to where Obama has dropped bombs. I'm sure the Vatican and Westminster Cathedral are next

fairly simplistic view of the world today and easy to see where your beliefs fall...if you fail to view all the news with a bit of common sense then your view of the world is skewed by your bias...of which you seem to have a plethora...if you did any research you'd see that the main stream media(of which you have such faith)has always dug into the past of most conservative candidates/president with great zeal....but not always a fair and balanced take on both sides...sounds a bit like you eh?

Thank you cable news for reporting on all the issues and not just the ones siding with some of the liberals whose view of the world through rose colored glasses seems to ignore reality in favor of wishful thinking and dumping on America to the rest of the world...gosh...we haven't done anything at all for anyone but ourselves have we(read intense sarcasm)...what a selfish bunch we are(see trillions given to other countries in aid(medical, educational and military)...

Dear Guest: Because I am paranoid doesn't mean people aren't chasing me and I am not afraid for me but for our country

Quite frankly I believe people are really concerned and tired of the ineptness of Obama and crave a return to the days when America demonstrated its pride in being exceptional instead of being the blunt of jokes around the world. Obama has been nothing but a negative drag on our society indecisive and indifferent.

So inept, short sighted and dishonest in his thinking that he sees climate change has a greater threat than terrorist who win on their caliphate will transform world politics especially by controlling much of the world's oil supply, destabilizing Arab governments, threatening the existence of Israel damaging the international economy, expanding Iranian influence, increase radicalism in Africa and Asia and making possible easy entrance of America born terrorist reentry into this country. Does that sound like paranoia to you

Ronald Reagan had such a great respect for his Office that he refused to remove his suit jacket when officially seated as President.

I have never acknowledged this guy as my president because it was clear even before he was elected that his so called bona fides and relationships spoke to who he really is. America should be ashamed for having elected twice to office His Ineptness

Personal Best Regards

Guest 02-12-2015 08:02 AM

Finally some one really thinking instead of accepting. This is to the previous post.

Guest 02-12-2015 08:28 AM

Personal Best Regards always gets to the heart of the matter.

You know, up until his crazy Crusades comment and right after ISIS burned a pilot alive, I would always say no. But, I'm beginning to rethink it.

Looking back, I grew up in a Catholic home and went to Catholic school. I later fell away, and ended up as a heathen Protestant, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for Catholicism. I mean, I grew up with it.

I think that's EXACLTY what is going on with Obama but polite people could never really say it as the PC types and Lefties would come unglued. But his Father was a Muslim, half his family tree is, he grew up with an Indonesian stepfather who was Muslim etc. How could he NOT have some level of affection for Islam? It's only logical IHMO that he would.

Guest 02-13-2015 08:09 PM

i do not think he is a muslim, but i do think everyone should see the film 2016 which gives a frank history of his background and influences, his father's view of America as an imperialist misuser of power, etc, and it goes far to explain the psychology behind his ideology. he is simply acting within the parameters of how he feels about this country. he was also greatly influenced by communism (his mentor) and college activities so not a wonder that he is promising Vlad that things would go better after the election.....and he does not mind Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

Guest 02-13-2015 08:15 PM

Why is this thread titled "Another Question".
Why isn't the title "Does anyone think Obama is Muslim?"
