    Barack Obama is not Muslim. If he were, there's no way he'd be the presumptive nominee.

    To the person who wrote about Oprah influencing Barack's religion: don't make me laugh.

    There is a limit to how much money any one contributor can give. Oprah probably gave the maximum amount, but that's it. She's supported him and had her on her show, which is worth a lot of money in terms of "PR" (all the money he's spent on commercials probably still isn't worth the potential gain from one appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show). However, I really don't think that it came with the condition that he make any sort of religious claims...that's ludicrous.

    I love it how people turn to ignorance when they don't get their way. And then more morons come by and give thumbs-down because they can't get their way either. I'm glad Yahoo! answers has provided you people with a forum in which to cry.

    Big Popper - Based on your ridiculous reasoning, I guess Hillary Clinton and everyone else who has endorsed him is also Muslim by association? Again the causality between ignorance and getting one's way surfaces.

    Hell no. GO TO Fight the Smears.

    No. He's a Christian and this myth have been debunked. This question pops up almost daily. Let's debate on the real issue not myth. I am so tired of seeing this question. You can do a search on here, Google, or better yet go his website. Newsweeks, CNN, CBS and other major news outlets have all debunked this this myth. Obama even launched a a website to fight against these Right Wing Smears.

    Smear:

    Barack Obama is a Muslim

    LIE: Barack Obama is a Muslim

    LIE: Barack Obama attended a radical madrassa

    LIE: Senator Obama was sworn into the US Senate using the Koran

    Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian

    Spread the Word!

    Valerie, haven't you been paying any attention to the facts? Why does this keep coming up?

    Here, you go here in case you haven't been made privy to Obama's new website:

    http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesme...

    After you read that then post something good and new about Obama, but stop all the Muslim junk posts. It's old and he's never been a Muslim. When you keep repeating this nonsense even the liars will find a way to make this lie true. There are some very evil people not just on this forum but outside it also, so liars must be combatted with truth.

    Now you get to that site above and don't post anymore lies or false innuendo about Obama ever again. Here is it again. Get to the site and make notes about it---- Hell, bookmark it so you have it to go to BEFORE YOU POST OTHER JUNK in the future, right? Here ya go:

    http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesme...

    And now, Obama 2009!

    Barack Obama is definitely not Muslim. Consider your source of this rumor. In a political campaign people will say and believe the most inconsistent accusations. The Urban Legend web site snopes.com is a good place to check out these ridiculous notions.

    IF Obama is NOT a Muslim, Why is Obama the ONLY Candidate who IS endorsed by ? :

    1) " MuslimsforObama08.com "

    2) Terrorist Fundraiser Hatem El Hady ( who is now a fundraiser for Obama's campaign )

    3) International Muslim Leader Imam Mohammed

    4) Louis Farrakhan & the Nation of Islam

    5) " MuslimsforObama.com " * ( in addition to " MuslimsforObama08.com " )

    6) Hamas

    7) Cynthia K Miller - who is a member of the Nation of Islam & was the Official Treasurer of Obama's US Senate Campaign

    ------- On 4/03/08, the Assyrian International News Agency ( AINA) website ran an article revealing that millions of Muslims throughout the World are being encouraged to support Obama.

    This article was accompanied by a photo taken in 3/08 of a Muslim Woman standing outside of a Muslim Mosque in Anaheim, California carrying a sign ( written in English & Persian ) supporting Obama----------------------------------

    Don't just take my word for any of Obama's above Muslim Associations ---Google them yourself & learn the truth about Obama

    No. He's a Christian. I think you are getting some flak because this question has been asked a 1,000 or more times.

  • 1 decade ago

    Went to a muslim school, father, stepfather and several other family members are muslim, can recite the call to prayer and calls it "one of the most beautiful sounds on earth, ties with Hamas and Farrakhan....etc., etc.

    There is more evidence FOR it than against. And you sure can't count that church as Christian.

    Could care less if he is if he didn't also have ties to radicals.

    Just because he says he isn't (fightthesmears,etc) doesn't mean he isn't-sorry I'm not that naive. What evidence do YOU have that he's not?

  • 1 decade ago

    No!!!! He's not. His father was and that's that. And to 'a' who replied a while before me, what nation are you referring to? for your info, a Muslim person practices the religion of Islam and it does not refer to being from a certain one country.

    ...I don't care if he worships "Pee Wee Herman"... this kid is just un-qualified to be the leader of the United States... He can't tell the difference between and e-1 from a w-4 or a Navy Officer from a Coast Guard Officer and he wants to be c in c ?

    ...absolutely insane. May God (or Pee Wee Herman) have mercy on America)

    Muslims believe that if your father is a Muslim, you are a Muslim. However, Obama goes to a Christian church (such as it is), so most non-Muslims accept him as a Christian.
