Long before last week's revelation that a large and growing chunk of Americans believe that the President is Muslim - and that only about one in three Americans correctly identify him as Christian - Barack Obama was battling misperceptions about his religion. (snip) With Thursday's Pew poll showing that nearly one in five Americans think Obama is Muslim, our conversation from 2008 - conducted by phone while the future president sat aboard his grounded campaign plane - has become relevant again. Here's what Obama told me in 2008 when I mentioned the false rumors that he was Muslim:
(Excerpt) Read more at religion.blogs.cnn.com ...
If he doesn’t want people to think he’s a muslim, he shouldn’t act like a muslim.
I’m supposed to believe that the “rumors” about Obie’s faith are false just because CNN says so?
(Unladylike spit)
What are we using to prove that Christian is the correct answer?
Methinks the news media doth protest too much...
How is it that Dan Gilgoff knows this for sure? What concrete proof has Obama offered? How can any person prove this?
Surely Mr. Gilgoff doesn't think that sparse attendence over the years for the purposes of community organizing at Rev. Wright's Church of Blame Whitey constitutes proof of anything other than a high tolerance for nonsense...
If it quacks, waddles and lies like a muslim it most likely is a muslim...or at least an islamist sympathizer, which is just as rotten.
The same CNN that admitted spiking news out of Iraq for over a decade in trade for access to saddam...
“If he doesn’t want people to think he’s a muslim, he shouldn’t act like a muslim.”
Such straight forward, crystal clear, non-nuanced logic is not allowed when comptemplating “The One”!
Okay Dan, we’ll just take your indelible word as truth, just like we will the anointed one’s.
I’ve never met a Christian who wasn’t confident that Christ is the one way to salvation. But as for Hussein...
Finding His Faith
by Lisa Miller
July 12, 2008 Obama embarked on a spiritual quest in which he tried to reconcile his rational side with his yearning for transcendence. He found Christ—but that hasn’t stopped him from asking questions. “I’m on my own faith journey and I’m searching,” he says. “I leave open the possibility that I’m entirely wrong.”

Gilgoff is the one who subscribes to the fasle rumors that Obama is a muzzie. I don’t . he’s a muzzie thru & thru
I don’t give a whit what he wrote from that interview-obama was born muslim and is one of convenience and he’s not a christian either having attended a wacko black liberation theology church for political convenience
The more the Goebelesque propaganda arm of the DNC aka CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, and LAT protest obama’s alleged Christianity, the more apparent it is that he really is a muslim.
Sorry Mr. Nachum. Your phone interview with candidate Obama has been superceded, and FAR OUTRANKED by the Aug. 20, 2010 Franklin Graham interview on VIDEOCAFE. In that interview Rev. Graham stated that candidate Obama visited Billy Graham’s home in NC, and that he, Franklin was also present.
Franklin Graham states that during that visit, candidate Obama declared to Billy Graham that he had RENOUNCED MOHAMMED, RENOUNCED ISLAM, and that he is trusting JESUS CHRIST as his PERSONAL SAVIOR and LORD.
IMHO it is easy to make such statements while in the privacy of Billy Graham’s home. But in all the campaign, and in the 18 months of his presidency, WE THE PEOPLE have never heard one peep out of Pres. Obama which would confirm what he told the Grahams. Neither, by his ACTIONS or GOVERNANCE has he EVER indicated that he follows nor adheres to CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES in his political life. In fact, he has shown himself HOSTILE to Christian traditions that have been honored for many years by former Presidents. A prime example is his cancellation of our NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER! If anything, my radar indicates to me that Pres. Obama DESPISES Christianity and Born Again Christians; especially WHITE ones!
When I see Pres. Obama on my TV set, in Prime Time, making the exact same proclamations to WE THE PEOPLE that he made in Billy Graham’s home; then and only then will I even begin to consider the remote possibility that he may actually be a Born Again Christian; and even then, I would have GREAT CONSTERNATION regarding his obvious proclivities toward FAVORING MUSLIM MATTERS, and DISDAINING ANYTHING CHRISTIAN.
And with all due respect; Just in case you have been sequestered in a cave somewhere, and missed Rev. Franklin’s interview, here is a link to it.

No where in this article does he say he is a Christian. All he says is that he went to his church for 20 years. This reporter is putting words in the muslim’s mouth and we are supposed to buy it. Fat chance of that. Let’s hear him come out and say he would never subscribe to islam. Fat chance of that also.
Thanks for the link. I have heard of the interview with Franklin Graham, but had never seen the video.
Caves can be quite cozy though.
Just the fact that the nation questions whether the president is of one religion or another is disconcerting on its own merits.
The fact he uses a social security number issued to someone born in connecticut worries me. One of his 3 official (39 uncomfirmed) really worries me.
