[cloud75]

a Friend of mine from the middle east told me that if your father is a muslim then you are a muslim as well. that is the way muslims think so expect repukes to run with it.

The smell of desperation is palpable around here.

10. Clinton people have been posting it for months in a derogatory bent.

In fact, the Clinton people appear to have been out ahead of the curve when it comes to this kind of "bipartisan" gutter politics.

[Johnny__Motown]

11. But his father left when he was 2. He was raised by Christians. You can't believe this applies

Besides, if his father married a Christian how devout a Muslim could he possibly have been?

[Levgreee]

12. His father was raised Muslim, but was Atheist by the time his parents met

He describes his Kenyan father as "raised a Muslim," but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his Indonesian stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful."

[smalll]

16. So the answer is: No, he's not Muslim, both his parents were atheists!

And he's a member of a Christian church! A black supremacist one! Yeah, we'll do just great with all that. :eyes:

[babylonsister]

13. Then thank GOD he's got the Muslim vote:

Democrats Benefit From Shift in Muslim Voters’ Allegiance
By Charles Hoskinson, CQ Staff

Muslim Americans, many of whom gave President Bush enthusiastic support in his first election campaign in 2000, have largely fled the Republican Party and could help Democrats win key states this November.

In surveys over the past six years, Muslims have cited administration policies in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq as reasons why GOP candidates no longer appeal to them.

The surveys by the polling firm Zogby International and the Pew Research Center show how dramatic the shift has been: In the 2000 election, 42 percent of Muslim-American voters surveyed said they had voted for Bush, 31 percent for former Vice President Al Gore and 12 percent for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader. In 2004, just 14 percent voted for Bush, while 71 percent chose Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

“We can intuit that the Republican Party has lost a lot of goodwill among Muslims,” said pollster John Zogby.

This year, the bulk of Muslim support is likely to go to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, said Mukit Hossain, a political consultant to the Muslim American Society, which has taken a leading role in mobilizing Muslim Americans to vote and be active in political life.

[kentuck]

15. Do Muslims believe in Jesus..?

Obama does.

[Benhurst]

18. Yes, they do. Jesus is one of their prophets.

[kentuck]

19. But do his detractors know that?

:-)

[Benhurst]

26. I doubt it, any more than his followers do.

[mmonk]

17. There's always a question about "other" citizens

in a fascist country.

[Lerkfish]

20. as if "muslim" was a dirty word

do we consider "jew" a dirty word?
do we consider "hindu" a dirty word?
do we consider "buddhist" a dirty word?
do we consider "christian" a dirty word?


I reject your premise on its face. I am proud to have known and to know the remarkable muslims in my life. I am not muslim but these are a great and proud people. There is no shame, nor should there ever be, to be muslim. Anyone who suggests so has demeaned himself.

[earthlover]

21. well look at this: it is a DEMOCRAT bringing up the FALSE MUSLIM issue again!

[tabasco]
