Majority of Republicans: Obama is a Muslim

A new national Louis Harris poll finds that a majority of Republicans believe that President Obama is a Muslim, while 45 percent agree with the so-called "Birthers" that the president was "not born in the United States."

The poll of 2,230 Americans, taken during last weekend's health care showdown in the House of Representatives, shows how successful Obama's opponents have been in demonizing the 44th president.

Full results are expected tomorrow, but preliminary findings were released in The Daily Beast by John Avlon, whose book "Wingnuts" details the hyper-partisanship that has swept America since 2008.

According to the poll, 57 percent of Republicans, and 32 percent of Americans overall, believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim. The opinion comes despite Obama's description in his bestseller, "The Audacity of Hope", of his adoption of the Christian faith.

The poll found that 45 percent of Republicans, and 25 percent in the overall survey, agree with Birthers that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president."

Let's recount a few of the rationale reasons one would believe this:

  1. Obama says "my Muslim faith" to Stephanpolous in an interview.
  2. Says "muslim call to prayer is prettiest sound on earth" in another interview and we learn he can recite the prayers in perfect Arabic with no accent
  3. Praises islam to the hilt in Cairo for imaginary feats and accomplishments while denigrating the US
  4. Bows to Saudi king, a sign of muslim respect to your superiors
  5. Refuses to "jump to conclusions" about a muslim terrorist killing our soldiers but jumps to conclusions about police departments "acting stupidly"
  6. Surrounded himself with extreme anti-Semites during most of his adult years
  7. His enrollment certificate in an Indonesian elementary school lists his religion as "islam"
  8. Working on a "entrepreneurship" program for muslims
  9. Hates Israel and is actively working against Israeli interests
  10. Rumors abound that they don't give gifts to their kids
  11. But he does have a dog, probably just to throw us off the scent.

Need we continue? It is self-evident, is it not? What a freakin' idiot author at the PI.

Ever heard of a Christian with a name like Hussein who inadvertantly claims to be a Muslim? And Steffie felt compelled to correct Obozo? Awesome journalism.

Hmm, let’s see there’s the “my muslim faith” and “the call for pray is the most beautiful sound” and his hatred of America and Israel. Nope, he’s definitely Amish.

We fight Muslim terrorism with a Muslim in the WH? Very smart thinking, America!

How many people believe that Barack Hussein Obama is a Christian when he doesn’t acknowledge Christmas or Easter, has no baptism certificate, was raised by 2 muslim fathers, an agnostic mother, and a Unitarian grandmother?

Even Qaddafi calls Obama a muslim. He isn’t. He’s an atheist although he prefers the term “secular humanist”.

It's no rumor. He said in interviews that they don't give the kids Christmas presents, that the Obamas choose ONE GIFT for the whole family (more of the I WON philosophy Obama espouses).

Obama lies. What? "You" people thought Bill Clinton was telling the truth when he claimed he didn't have sex with Monica as well. Truth will come out.

The state of Hawaii produced Obama's birth certificate during the 2008 campaign.

Really? They've repeatedly said that it is unethical for them to release this document without Obama's consent and the continuing lawsuits to prevent it's release would indicate that Obama does NOT consent.

I'm sorry, but for Obama to be a Muslim (or a Christian for that matter), he would have to acknowledge that there is something greater than he is.

As for the "birther" question, it has been nauseatingly educational for me to see the entire American Mainstream Media successfully evade their responsibility to obtain the answer to one simple question: Why has Obama not released his long-form birth certificate? They can't even get around to distinguishing between the long form and the COLB. Do I believe that Obama was born in Kenya? No, I believe that his long form probably shows that his parents were not married, and he calculated that the information would be a political liability. But that is just a guess, and Americans should not have to guess what is printed on their president's birth certificate.

> This is straight out of Alinsky’s playbook. Ridicule is a powerful tool.

Only if it's based upon a non-fact.

Belief that Obama is Islamic, however, is based more upon fact than fiction.

To be a true muslim, one must believe in mohammed as the last true prophet to the god of abraham.

I don’t know if obama qualifies. I would be very shocked if he is a true believer in any religion. He is definitely well educated in islam and I think he probably prefers islam over christianity but pretends the opposite for political reasons.

Another eye-opening finding: 38 percent of Republicans, and 20 percent of Americans overall, agree that Obama is "doing many things Hitler did."

This sticker was designed by Obama's own propaganda minister, Sheperd Fairey.

A fact Obama was well aware of when he hired him for the Hopey-Changey posters that were wheatpasted in the middle of the night on public property (illegally)

And 24 percent of Republicans, and 14 percent overall, agree that Obama "may be the antiChrist."

Truth hurts. He may not be THE antiChrist but he is AN antiChrist deceiver. One who seeks to replace the Church with The State. Be thankful to Big Govt. which provides a bounty for your every need. He mocks those who "cling to religion". He claims Christian faith while citing Jesus is a "historical figure" and not the savior, all faiths are of equal worth to him (a lift in your shoe but no path will get you to the non-existent "heaven"). He leads the flock astray.

NEVER ONCE DID I SEE A NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE DENOUNCE THE HATE CAMPAIGN THAT RAN AGAINST PRESIDENT BOOSH FOR 8 YEARS.

Too late to "change the rules" now.
