Growing Number of Americans Say Obama is a Muslim
Pew Research Center ^ | August 19,2010 | Staff

Posted on 08/19/2010 10:19:48 AM PDT by lbryce

A substantial and growing number of Americans say that Barack Obama is a Muslim, while the proportion saying he is a Christian has declined. More than a year and a half into his presidency, a plurality of the public says they do not know what religion Obama follows.

A new national survey by the Pew Research Center finds that nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) now say Obama is a Muslim, up from 11% in March 2009. Only about one-third of adults (34%) say Obama is a Christian, down sharply from 48% in 2009. Fully 43% say they do not know what Obama’s religion is. The survey was completed in early August, before Obama’s recent comments about the proposed construction of a mosque near the site of the former World Trade Center.

The view that Obama is a Muslim is more widespread among his political opponents than among his backers. Roughly a third of conservative Republicans (34%) say Obama is a Muslim, as do 30% of those who disapprove of Obama’s job performance. But even among many of his supporters and allies, less than half now say Obama is a Christian. Among Democrats, for instance, 46% say Obama is a Christian, down from 55% in March 2009.

Obama professes Christianity but practices Secular-Marxism. He’s a corrupt politician, a chameleon that becomes what is neccessary and convenient at the moment.

Christians are described by Obama as ignorant rednecks who cling to their God and their guns.

However, Obama describes Islam as being full of peace, enlightenment, and tolerance.

Obama has never said a single negative thing about Islam in fact he continually praises it as a wonderful, beautiful culture which has brought nothing but good to the world.

However, Obama has never said any positive thing about Christianity or America, but claims to be an American Christian.

And yet, the MSM would have you believe that we are stupid for calling a guy who constantly praises Islam, who does not go to church or celebrate Christian holidays but does celebrate Muslim holidays, a Muslim.

If Obama wants people to stop calling him a Muslim then he should stop doing what Muslims do and stop saying what Muslims say.

Obama was born a Muslim.
If he converted, Muslims would be calling for his death - they must, it’s a command from Mad Mo himself.

Instead, Qadaffi gets up on the floor of the UN and calls Obama “our son”.
