Obama and Islam

the us media is just doing these kind of stuff to prevent you from chosing him. I feel bush and the people who support bush don't want to lose their power and want to go on forcing whole world. Don't worry my friend, there are muslims everywhere in the world. I am a muslim too and we are not monsters. In fact, I feel (for myslef) more democratic than most of the people around me. So, having a muslim president doesn't mean you will have a taliban like leader. Additionally, taliban was supported by U.S. They were supported by Bush-like people to weaken the Russia, I think most of you should know that. Governemental issues should be done seperately from the religionary ones. Because religion is a very personal thing. Nobody should be judged for their personal choices. I don't think Obama will try doing anything that will effect your lifestyle

The funny thing is, he's been attending Christian churches for years so I'm still trying to figure out why people want to declare him a muslim. And, even if he was, don't you think that would work to America's advantage considering most of our foreign policy issues relate to countries that are dominated by Islam.

Clam down for one minute, just because Obama would become a Muslim in the White House does not mean this country would become an Islamic country. I do not even think he could win right now. He has taken a beating in the polls. For the sake of this discussion even if Obama wanted to turn this country into another Taliban style country, he would have to get approval from both the House and Senate. I am sure even with the Democrats in control they would not touch this with a ten foot pole. There are alot of things to worry about Obama, but Islam is not one of them.

no because that is totally upsurd, even if he becomes president, being a muslem which he is not does not make him a bad person, 98 percent of muslims around the world are not terrorists, and he could not do that, and he cannot start a revolution on his own what do you think all the people around him for like secretary of defense, military, etc.

OK, now I've seen it all - I THINK!! Would you people please take a step back, take a nice deep breath, count to ten (if you can) and listen to what you're saying here! Opponents were so afraid of Obama they started this mudslinging campaign about him being a Muslim, which in turn led to him talking more about the church he belonged to than he should have had to; he admitted he didn't attend church every Sunday, which I certainly think makes a lot of sense since he hasn't been home on a regular basis for how many years since he's been in politics! Still, some hold it against him if he didn't go to church every single week while others apparently don't believe that's true because they insist he had to have heard his former pastor's more inflammatory remarks. I wish every politician would tell anyone who asks that it's none of anyone's business what church they attend or if they do or ever have attended church and that it's totally irrelevant because we have a Separation of Church and State. When JFK was President did he try to outlaw birth control and divorce? Do you think if Mitt Romney had won he'd have made polygamy the law of the land? (I know Mormons don't practice polygamy anymore, I'm simply using the same reasoning I'm reading here!) Let's get a grip and start thinking about the issues or just don't vote! Annie

It shouldn't matter what the religion of the president is. Being a Muslim doesn't automatically mean he's going to try to destroy the country. That's a rather biased and unfair way of thinking. Obama has been a Christian for most of his life, and I sincerely doubt he has any intention of becoming a muslim anytime soon.

(Apparently, I need to amend my common response to these paranoia topics about Obama's religion.) Barack Obama is not a Muslim, and he never was a Muslim.

Since he took office things have been pretty messed up but you do make a profound point and one that I pointed out to ppl at the time of the election. He promised change...but not all change is good. Personally, I don't think he has a clue what he's doing and the sooner he's out of office the better. It'll be years before our country can recover from this mess.

In all honesty I think his actions since he has taken office is leading our country closer and closer to another civil war. The ppl of this country are fed up and they will hit a point where they finally fight back. When that happens, 0bama will be tossed out on his butt and things will finally get back on track.

sorry, but the religion of a countries leader should be irrelevant. it's their policies as a leader that count, not their personal spiritual beleifs. religion is personal.

I wonder how many people are really thinking about this? It's of course a possibility that could take us by complete surprise if we aren't careful. What bothers me the most, if what's going to happen if he gets elected - or not? Six of one and half dozen of the other. Scarey if you ask me.

I agree with you bdugas. And it is a distinct possibility. But about the only thing we can do about it is urge people not to vote for him. Hopefully he will not be elected. I don't like any one of the people that are running for president this time but he is the worst in my opinion.

So what if Obama is a Muslim!?I am also a Muslim and all Muslims are not violent, you cannot say the whole of Islam is violent just cause a few people who claim to be Muslims does a terrorist act! If a follower does something wrong it is there fault, you cannot blame the whole of Islam for that one persons fault. Islam does not even allow violence unless they have a good cause! In the Qur'an(Holy book of Muslims) it is written "Killing one person is like killing the whole of humanity.", and you christians have serious misconceptions on Islam! Everyone is not an Osama Bin Laden. And the belief that Islam has a violent culture and that we are too much religious to the extent that we are extremists are just a wrong misconception!Islam is not violent or over strict and it is the bad or violent followers who give a bad name to Islam. Islam does not opress there followers, all the Muslims I know, live a normal life like anyone else and they also do the things you guys do and still they follow there religion! Some preachers of Islam and some Huzurs(Islamic priests) use the religion to there advantage and make the followers wear over protective clothes which is wrong. Islam only tells the women to cover there whole body except the hands and the face and they also have to cover there head when they are around male strangers, and Muslim women also wear jeans and most of them I know are modernised. The Qur'an has no mistake in it. If you read it you will not find a single logical or scientific error!Even some scientific facts were first written in the Qur'an. We also believe in Jesus(Peace Be Upon Him) as a prophet of God but the only difference is we do not see him as the 'Son of God', But rather as a 'Prophet of God',if you compare the Bible and the Qur'an you will see that the Bible has more errors(scientific, logical and also atrocities). We believe that as the Humans edited the Bible so it got corrupted that is why God Revealed to us Islam. And we also believe that Jesus will be resurected again to guide every one to Islam. So you are only being careless when you say Islam is violent and that America will be a violent country under a Muslim leader. I am an Obama supporter even though i live in Bangladesh. And remember that Islam is the fastest growing religion int he world and has more people converted to Islam from christianity than any other religion. And you cannot say a religion is a terrorist religion just becuase of the mistakes commited by a few people.

Okay, government 101: The president of the United States is not the Supreme Ruler, and our government is designed in such a way to prevent abuses of power by either the President or the Congress. It's a little thing called "checks and balances". It wouldn't matter if Obama said he talked to Mohammad himself; if Obama were the president he is sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States which includes a separation of church and state and if he did try some funny nonsense, the country, the media, the congress (in particular, the republicans) and not to mention the ACLU and the ACLJ would be all over it like white on rice. And, he can still be impeached. I don't trust Obama one bit and I think he'll be a crappy president and his supporters remind me more and more of Jim Jone's koolaid drinking acolytes, but he could no more overturn our constitution and implement Sharia than I could. Mostly the Dems want him in office because he's such a rube he'll do whatever they tell him to do. He doesn't have a clue and he'll be putty in the hands of the likes of Kennedy and Pelosi. More so than Hilary, who has her own agenda. Which is why the Dems stopped backing Hilary and started backing Obama.

I saw an interveiw with him,and it was obvious he was uncomfatable and was nervous. It was as if he was being interagated by the police! He was asked if he went to church often and he broke down and said "well me and my family are very busy at the moment,so I suppose..erm...."(ect.) If that was JFK he would have said "what has that got to do with the presedential elections!" He wouldn't be strong enough to lead USA into the ground,but also not strong enough to lead a country for that matter.

Cry Havoc!
