Is Barak Obama a Muslim?

He says he isn't. Anyway Barack Hussein Obama does sound like a muslim name. Also he had a Muslim stepdad and lived with him in Indonesia. He also is endorsed by Nation of Islam leader (and anti-semite, and racist) Louis Farakhan who once called Jews "blood suckers". But i don't see any proof so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I say he is not a muslim, but he is a left wing liberal and a bit of an idiot. I mean he actually said he would withdraw from Iraq and then send the troops back if al Qaeda started setting up safe havens in Iraq, but isn't al Qaida already in Iraq (when McCain used this argument Obama's response was to blame their presence on Bush and the Iraq war, but it really sounded to me like an admission that al Qaida was there). Oh boy, i can see our future: 2009- Soldiers leave Iraq 2010- Soldiers go back to Iraq 2011- Soldiers withdraw again 2012- soldiers go back. 2013- This jerk is replaced by a competent president.

I can not believe what I have just read and Muslims are the only "terrorists".

He use to be Muslim, but converted to Christianity when he got involved in politics years ago.1stCommando

He was never a Muslim. He's certainly not one now...and has been a member of the same church for *at least* 20 years.

Please stop with the unlearned commentary. FUD stinks.

First of all:

1.) Most muslims are not "probably not terrorists". Most muslims are NOT terrorists. That's all. The end of the statment. Don't let your underexposure to the muslim religion put you in a position to start posting ignorant commentary. You will get called on it. There are more Muslims in the world than Christians by a large margain. Suggeting that this small segment of Muslims who terrorize the world *may* represent a large cross-section of Muslims is akin to saying the Westboro Baptist Church (the people who picket outside of funerals like the VT shooting funeral) is a reasonable reflection of the Christian experience. Come on.

2.) He's not a damn Muslim. He's a Christian and has been for 20 years. Before that, he was an Athiest.

3.) It's not a possibility. The fact that someone would even post something like this baffles the mind. OMG.

EboyLOL

He didn't denounce the Ku Klux Klan's endorsement, though. I guess he's actually a White Supremacist!

I can see it now! He goes up to take the oath of office...only to take off his black-skinned mask (a-la Mission Impossible 2) to reveal a shaved white head with a Nazi tattoo! And his KKK brothers ride down Pennsylvania Ave. in white sheets on horseback waving the Confederate Flag! ZOMG!!!

It's just as plausable as whipassmt's ideas. :?

Doesn't matter. His point remained: it's neither his fault nor his problem if someone endorses him in an unsolicited fashion. People are free to do whatever they want to do. If candidates have to be accountable for the idiots that endorse them...or if they have to be considered a reflection of those who have endorsed them, nobody would qualify. It's just dumb.

I like reasonable reasons for disliking a politician. It's one thing to not like a guy's policies or stances on issues. It's quite another to paint him as something that he's not or to try to make him accountable for things he had nothing to do with.

looks like you're are correct. But the point still remains. 1.5 billion Muslims make the point obvious that only a extremely small fraction (on the order of hundreds...out of BILLIONS) are radical terorrists.

Dude, nobody black outside of the members of the Nation of Islam agree with Frarrakhan's crazy comments. NOBODY.

he was closer to right than us. and on a side note, I can't believe there are 1 billion + Catholics. Amazing.

As far as policy goes, Obama and Clinton are not that much different, so it is rather hard to tell who would make a better leader.

Okay enough of the Muslim stuff, what do you think about his plan to withdraw and then to send the troops back again, and do you think Obama is a moderate, a liberal, or a left winger.whipassmt

He has no intention of withdrawing all our forces anytime soon.

He plans on bringing home 1 brigade every so many months (as the generals have deemed safe) over the next 18 months (that means most of our forces there through 2010), leaving behind a combat force better designed for hunting Al Qaeda. He'd either bring home that large fighting force or re-proritize them to Afganistan, which is falling apart...and where our masses should have never left.

Those that are under the impression that he plans on bringing all our troops home ASAP are sadly mistaken or otherwise confused.

IF Al Qaeda (in the hypothetical presented) were to get so big that they could cause problems or be a bigger threat, he'd send them back in to be stomped out. But given his plan, it's pretty unlikely, as the Iraqi Army should be fairly capable at that point and we'll have our special forces moving on camps and strongholds throughout the country after our brigades are gone.

He's a democratic candidate, so he's left of center.

More details on that exchange:

Chris Matthews asked him about the Frarrakahn endorsement and if he denounced it. Obama said, that he did denounced it, and that he did not seek his endorsement anyway...that he's found many of Frarrakahn's comments completely wrong and that he can't control those who endorse him really...and that he's a strong supporter of the Jewish community.

Hillary decided to chime in saying that to "denounce" him isn't enough and that he has to "reject" him. The audience booded at Hillary.

Obama said, well...I don't really see a difference between "denouncing" and "rejecting", but if you feel there's a difference, then I'll conceed the point...and I'll "denounce AND reject". The audience applauds for him winning the point.

She nodded and they moved on.
