Barbour: 9/11 Koran Burning A Bad Idea
Christina Bellantoni | September 8, 2010, 10:12AM



Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said today that he opposes a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11, and said he accepts "totally" that President Obama is a Christian.

"I do not think well of the idea of burning anybody's Koran, Bible, Book of Mormon or anything else," Barbour told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

"I don't think there is any excuse for it," Barbour said, adding that it's a bad idea.

A reporter followed up to ask Barbour for his opinion as to why so many Americans (wrongly) think Obama is a Muslim.

"I don't know why people think what they think," Barbour said. He paused and then added, "This is a president that you know less about than any other president in history."

Barbour said that Obama has said that he is a Christian "throughout his public life" and added, "I accept totally at face value that he's a Christian."

.... it would be a totally different political landscape.

President Barack Obama stands with Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, right, as they buy "snowballs" after he met with residents affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Monday, June 14, 2010, in Gulfport, Miss.

But just in case you come to your senes, Mr. President....
