Isn't all the confusion about Obama being a Muslim because of his unusual name?

If he was named Percy Jackson or something would anybody be saying he's a Muslim?

    I think the name "Percy" is weird.

    The name "Bush" reminds me of pubic hair and the name Dick is short for Richard.. what's that all about anyways???

    I think it is a factor for sure. It is the reason so many people make a Point to Say Hussein.. That is code speak for "different, wrong, Muslim, Terrorist"

    No, it's cause both his biological father and his adoptive father were Muslims - and the Muslims believe that anyone born to a Muslim father automatically is a Muslim - forever!

    No worries, Obama can "take a few more weeks of attacks" from the opposing party, but he's never going to back down.

    No confusion. If there was, it's not because of his name. It's because of his reluctance to admit that he has Muslim extremist friends.

    I don't think there is "confusion" just obfuscation.

    The right wing will use what they can, sadly.
