Half of Americans Do Not Know the President's Religion [The spin is IN.]
Yahoo! News ^ | 7/28/12 | Amy Bingham

Three and a half years into President Obama's first term as president, half of Americans cannot accurately say what religion he is, according to a poll released this week.

Only 49 percent of respondents said that Obama was Christian while 17 percent inaccurately said he was Muslim. Nearly one-third of respondents said they did not know the president's religion, according to the poll released Thursday by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life.

“half of Americans cannot accurately say what religion he is”

Hopefully the other half are smart enough to know he’s a muslim.

I agree. He doesn't subscribe to islam or any other religion not centered on Obama/Totalitarianism (But I repeat myself) sincerely.

Now the anti--Christian--anti-Americanism-anti-Western sentiment that pervades the mooselimb culture strongly appeals to him.

They infiltrate, and are plotting to attack and destroy us, in ways he, for now, only dreams about. But just give him four more years!

That is why he's sympathetic to their cause and this confuses some people. He no more prays to a silly rock than Bill Ayers does.

The so-called “Black Theology”, which turns out, is a fusion of some elements of Christianity a LOT of confused Islam, and just for good measure, a little African Voodoo complete with shamans and the practice of magic. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, and Father Michael Pfleger, renegade Catholic priest, both spoke from the pulpit of Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ. And if this is not Barack Hussein Obama’s framework of religious belief, then I cannot think of another, except perhaps no serious belief at all.

He answered a question from Stephanopoulis about his Muslim faith, and had to be ‘corrected’ by the host. I will wager a bottle of scotch that no one on this forum has ever made a similar slip of the tongue misidentifying their religion. I am Zoroastrian, er, I mean Cristian....

Too many journalists don’t know the difference between “claims to be” and “is”.

He doesn’t honor christian holidays in a manner that christians do, but he does make a point of honoring islamic
holidays. While in Indonesia, didn’t he go to a muslim school?

Well, O doesn’t seem to know either. He has talked about being Christian but has also talked about his ‘Muslim faith’.

Leans toward the Islamic faith, even said so, put it in writing ,and the media doesn’t believe it.

Islam is not a religion .
It is a form of government with a constitution --->Sharia law
It is totalitarian government hiding under the guise of religion

Correction:

49 percent of Americans THINK they know he is christian
but have no proof. The rest know they don’t know what
the heck he is.

It is odd however that Islam seems so accepting of
an infidel, no fatwas, no vile language, no death
threats, etc.

His father was a muzzie, that makes our boy Barry a muzzie at birth. Islamic law. Now, one might say he is guilty of apostasy by stating he is a Christian, which would be a death sentence in some Islamic circles

This is where Taqiyya kicks in for a muzzie. Did you notice that he picked his ham out of his split-pea soup at lunch with the vets?
