Why is it crazy to call Obama a Muslim?

The guys middle name is Hussein. He lived in Indonesia, where 80% of the population is Muslim. His biological father and stepfather were both Muslim. His official religion on paper while living in Indonesia was Islam.

    Because the Obama minions will brand you as a nut job and the media will pile on.

    He was a child in Indonesia and his step-father was a Muslim but once you become an adult you make your own decisions. His mother married an Indonesian man, that doesnt make Pres. O a Muslim, esp. since he attended a Christian church for 20 years. His real father did not practice his religion. His mother chose these men, not Obama. She was not religious.

    He was born in Hawaii.

    He didn't choose his own middle name - his mother did.

    Obama barely even knew his father.

    He went to live with his white grandparents when he was still a young boy.

    He goes to a Christian Church.

    Muslims aren't allowed to drink beer.

    Obama is not a Muslim.

    You're trying to trash a decent guy, who's been an excellent president.

    President Obama has improved the quality of life for millions.

    He still wears a Muslim ring with script on it that translates to "There is no God but Allah", he's been wearing this ring since the early 1980's... The pictures prove it...

    Why does it matter?

    It matters because Obama has lied and says he's a Christian... If you're a Muslim, say you're a Muslim, own it... This is just another lie to cover up Obama's past and who he really is... I can't remember a single president who has been more deceitful regarding their past and their beliefs... And remember, in 2008 Obama claimed that his administration would be "the most transparent administration in history", in reality its been the exact opposite...

    He has Muslim ancestors, that doesn't make him a Muslim; Islam is not a race.

  • He probably is. But why does it matter? Islam is just a religion. The constitution gives us all freedom of religion, including the president.
