Americans increasingly are convinced - incorrectly - that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion.

Nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, said they think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to a poll released Thursday. The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is down to just 34 percent.

Did the Post mean to say that Obama mistakenly refers to himself as a Muslim?

Obama never mentions what his religion was prior prior to meeting Michelle.

I'm guessing that Michelle introduced him to Rev.Jeremiah A. Wright (a former Muslim)and Trinity United Church of Christ and he became a member because Michelle wouldn't marry him otherwise.

[Cicero]

Yes, I believe he went to that Hawaiian Unitarian church with his grandmother as a child.

Unitarian churches are not really Christian (they don’t believe in the Trinity or in the divinity of Jesus). And from what I have read, that church was and is an especially egregious example, loaded down with Communists and their ilk.

[N. Theknow]

Some people "incorrectly" call this a swan.

They have been to St John’s Episcopal Church twice.

Love it AP...

Americans increasingly are convinced - incorrectly -

Almost like an editor stepped in and said "WAIT! the peon's don't know what their thinking, make sure we correct them..."

Ass hats.

[HardStarboard]

The AP calling those who believe the perponderance of the evidence "incorrect" and those who have little if any evidence "correct"?

AP making our minds up for us!!!

The whole "Correct/Incorrect" is pure Political Correctness Religion!

[chris37]

Yes it does, but until he proves that was not his dad, I have to assume that it was his dad, which would make Barry a muslim.

[Las Vegas Ron]

It appears Imam Obama has not been able to find a church home he is comfortable with since leaving

It's waiting to be built on Gorund Zero.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Odd that Barry is the greatest communicator in the history of American politics, yet he can't even convey the most basic information about his religious beliefs.

Meanwhile, George W Bush was this stumbling bumbling tongue-tied idiot cowboy, yet nobody ever thought he was a Muslim.

Mr. B's belief is in Obamaism. He knows that he alone is god. He celebrates that belief through atheism with Muslim and communist leanings. He educates himself in his belief through Marxism and Alinskism. He worships, oddly enough, with others who think he is wrong and that they are god. Unitarians, Weathermen, New agers etc.

My Muslim faith...

57 States...

[algernonpj]

It is a DUCK

ROFL

[TexasRepublic]

This is a great example of government-controlled media spreading disinformation by saying the public’s belief that FUBO is muslim is “incorrect”. Again, I say FUBO. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck.

[crazydad]

I have been monitoring that on yahoo and its like 80% dont believe him. Then the 20% that just revert to calling us racist..

[MestaMachine]

ALL musslims are atheists. Don’t you get it yet???

[Siena Dreaming]

Unitarian churches are not really Christian

Yes, I'm aware of that.

[biggredd1]

Hussein Dunham admitted it to george stepa nopolus.

[Jazz1968]

The AP is going to great lengths with damage control.

Did anyone see this bias from the AP masquerading as journalism?

The only thing I want this guy to be is ex-president.

However, if I was asked to bet my house on whether he is a secret Muslim, I'd say yes.
