Tony Perkins (Family Research Council President) : It's 'Obamas Fault' People Think He's A Muslim

On yesterday’s edition of “Washington Watch,” Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said that if people believe President Obama is a Muslim, then that is Obama’s own fault.

In response to a caller who insisted that Obama is “a Muslim and every time he does something he’s scoring brownie points for his side, that’s why he can go golfing and not have no problems,” Perkins said that it is reasonable to believe that the president is in fact a Muslim or at least “sympathetic to Muslims.”

Perkins said Obama’s actions as president “only give credence to those that say” that he’s a Muslim, arguing that he did nothing to help Meriam Ibrahim, a Sudanese Christian and wife of a U.S. citizen who was imprisoned for apostasy until she was ultimately released.

However, administration officials worked to secure Ibrahim’s release and condemned Sudan’s government over the incident, and even Fox News reported that the government was “fully engaged” in the case. A Republican congressman who appeared on Perkins’ radio show back in June told him that “a number of agencies across the board [were] working hand-in-glove to make sure” that Ibrahim was released, and he was “hearted” and “really encouraged that this is a government that cares about people.”
